Nothing is overpowered. While its all very well people saying 'sniper rifle is OP, mass driver is OP, laser rifle is OP, railgun is OP etc', unless the people accusing said items of being OP have used the real world equivalent to support their OP claim......they have nothing to back up their claim at all, and considering there are no real world equivalent weapons (sniper rifle yes, rail gun sniper rifle no).......there is no way to tell if anything IS OP.
The only thing that's OP are the blueberries who can't hit s**t so they claim everything is OP.

What a ridiculous argument. Real life is irrelevant to whether or not the gameplay is inducive to HAVING FUN. It doesn't make one lick of difference how "realistic" something is if it isn't well balanced within the context of the gameplay. Each item needs to be as relatively useful as each other item, or else there's no reason to bother putting those other items in the game, let alone anyone actually bothering to use them.

Bro I was being sarcastic, but its a very valid argument.
You can't claim something is OP if there is nothing to compare it to, which makes my previous post very much spot on.
And 99.9% of people who scream 'OP' are people have just started playing, who have no idea of the skills that can be learned related to each weapon, or dropsuit, or shield/armor, they don't cry 'OP' when its THEM using the supposed OP weapon, only when its used against THEM.
