SMG's are fine. They suck compared to assault rifles at first, and lots of skills need to be invested in them to be useful. Plus the SMG's range is pretty terrible. If SMG's were less effective, or not a sidearm, they wouldn't be worth it.
If SMGs were primaries, they would need twice as much default range to be useful. |

They are not firing projectiles.
Actually they're Minmatar weapons, so they are very low-tech, not plasma. Still, even low-tech stuff by futuristic "thousands of years in the future" setting is probably much superior than our most high-tech weapons. This is irrelavent though, balance is what's important, and SMGs are fine. |

Man, it's amazing to me that the different factions of New Eden all used their advanced technology to make armor that can survive the entirety of a doublestacked rifle magazines and apply the same level of technology to SMGs, but that it seems to never occurred to them to apply these super advanced technologies to make their assault rifles better and do more than bounce off people like ******* spitballs.
Open market
Get calculator
Look at assault rifle damage, and magazine size to calculate damage per magazine.
Look at total HP of different dropsuits
Calculate how many of a certain kinds of suit you can kill with one magazine.
You will see how greatly you are exaggerating. Assault rifles are not weak, and nowhere close to weak. They are great range and versatility. SMG's are meant for close range, so of course they would be better than AR's at close range, but keep in mind SMG's are almost useless when you get out of close range while assault rifles are generally useful in most ranges. |
