They need to be toned down a bit They aren't overpowered, they are exactly as powerful as the weapons from the next step up. Standard AUR weapons are as powerful as advanced tier weapons, and advanced AUR weapons are as powerful as prototype AUR weapons.
And that's a problem. They have lower skill and CPU/PG requirements. So two players on the same level will never be competitive, when one has access to Aurum weaponry and the other one doesn't. To put an advanced sniper on any fitting, you don't only need Sniper Rifles IV, you also need a top tier suit (and the respective skill), due to the high CPU/PG requirements. A Aurum weapon of the same caliber can be fitted to standard tier suits. |

Example: Sniper Rifles
Farsight (Basic, Aurum) has the same damage output like the NT-511 (Advanced, ISK), but needs half CPU/PG and Sniper Rifle Operation 1 instead of 4.
The 'Genesis' NT-511 (Advanced, Aurum) has a higher damage output than the Ishukone (Prototype, ISK) and needs Sniper Rifle Operation 2 instead of 5 + Sniper Rifle Proficiency 1.
Tell me how this can be balanced... |

It is not about what might be in the future, it's about the current state of things. There is no market, so there is currently no way to get these weapons with ISK. Therefore it feels a bit unfair right now.

Tell me how this can be balanced... Simple. SR Operations gives damage boosts, so until he invests he's doing lower damage anyway and once he invests it's a sniper who's invested and is paying to get an edge over other snipers or to further boost his damage or utility. That's not something to gripe about.
But until I have SO 4, I use the standard sniper rifle, while the Aurum user has access to the best sniper rifle in the game with SO 2. That I might have a higher damage output at SO 5 might be true (I haven't done the maths), but that is besides the point. |
