One of the things that (should) make logis worse at attacking is that they can't have a sidearm (until proto level for Amarr). So I'm really wondering why people aren't using sidearms more? They have pretty deadly damage rates and are some of the best close range stuff...? |

So you are suggesting that sidearms shouldn't have killing potential, and be overall worthless? |

No if anything i'd be okay if sidearms were even a bit more powerful. Then it would suck to not have them as a logi and assaults woudln't be seen as worthless like they apparently are (which i don't understand) |

It's range boy. Sidearms, as a whole, have no range. Especially after the repeated Scrambler Pistol range nerfs. You have a repeater pistol, an SMG, and a set of Knives, soon what is basically a flare pistol as well. None of these can even fight an AR's range unless you are REALLY good with that repeater, and none are more effective than a shotgun at close range, so I'd say they are fair and balanced. |

minmatar assault with maxed suit and scrambler pistol skill could be somewhat viable with the burst scrambler holding 21 rounds per reload but the range is still very limiting. |

Do the math. There is no logical reason to use something other than a GEK.
Early on the tier 1 AR has a 60 round clip and is good enough for a beginner while the militia AR will get that same beginner killed repeatedly. Once you can use the GEK survivability goes up, fun goes up (finally) as does SP/Kills/WP.
Small arms are okay if you are working in a close squad and you really need to squeeze the CPU/PG values to get the best Logi Bro gear equipped. Otherwise, forget about small arms. |
