breach, burst and tactical all perform worse than the rest. The whole Gallente Rifle family needs a buff.
That's not the impression I have about the breach and the tactical but if you say so I trust you as you have access to much more data. However seems unfair when you look at the galmando : 25% ROF bonus means 25% extra DPS vs 10% for the commando...
Bonus to assault suits only, not commando.

You can have all your swarm launcher SP back after you deduct the SP you got using it to farm WP. Deal? ;)

- Increase the lockon range to 225-250m.
- Reduce the tracking range to more like 250m-275m.
This is both a quality of life improvement for:
- Swarmers can now actually fire at dropships again, without having to try to position themselves directly under the target.
- Dropships have a much more reasonable chance of escaping shots they are actively trying to avoid.
You still get the turning radius nerf, which is fine, but we need some operational range we just don't have to make swarms viable. Forge still maintains far superior damage, range, and accuracy.
Remember, dear Soraya, with your sweet sculptural logics and werds, that the swarmer is effectively invisible (not rendering) to the DS pilot outside of the new lockon range.
Now pilots will be able to see you with your buffed shields on your buffed swarm-dmg calmando around the same time they can actually engage you. Wutz the problem?

High risk and negligible reward... area denial of a force multiplier is a negligible reward? Are you talking about WP for kills, or usefulness to the team? Maybe I'm wrong but aren't you guys wracking up +75's every time you get more than one volley off?
High risk and negligible reward is what current ADS is all about, except maybe in the hands of the most adept pilots. Swarms on a basic Min commando (now Caldari after hotfix) seem to be low risk for lots of points.
Are you trying to solo an ADS with swarms, or deny them access to clear a bunch of rooftop spawn points?

The WP for damage is pretty much broken since the last update, hardeners take the damage down so far that you basically dont do enough damage to trigger WP rewards (though you still get plenty of points killing throw away gorgons and vipers, oh boy).
Thank you for that feedback... I figured the second volley was generating WP for the solo swarmer b/c that 2nd volley usually ate well into my Incubus' armor...even with a hardener activated.

Keep that QQ about swarms coming, kids. Show those devs just how many players have been leaning on an over performing weapon.

They made note that descriptions of these bonuses would not be updated at launch.
The Gal Assault ROF bonus is definitely working :)
