They are obviously OP. That being said I don't mind them much.... They should have some downside. That guy who said they are hard to aim is full of it. The problem is that you can pop off three rounds quickly and nobody sticks around for the third shot so who cares how long the reload is.
Personally I think they should do 25 points of damage per shot to the person using it. Anyone who has launched fireworks rockets from your hand knows how bad it hurts as they blast away.

CCP do you see that this seriously needs to be nerfed, not for our benifet but for yours, people are thinking of leaving because of that one gun, remove it, nerf it, I don't care do something that will make it less of a ultra weapon and more of an actual weapon!

I bet youre an AR scrub.

Welcome to New Eden.

It is true the flaylock has issues. Namely the dmg it does is additive. IE the direct dmg is added to the splash dmg which means with no weapon bonuses it does 480 dmg......it gets a -dmg% against shields but a +dmg% against armor.

These numbers are incorrect.

3-4 shots for heavies (3 if they are using dmg mods, 4 if they stack shield extenders)
2-3 shots for Caladari Logi's (2 shots if they have anything equiped other than 5x complex shield extenders, plates do not matter)
2-3 shots for all shield tankers
2 shots for all armor tankers.

Also remember minmitar assaults have 4 shots in a clip due to racial bonus, and the term magazine is misleading as most of the time the weapon is duel weilded and with switching weapons being instant now the true clip size is between 6-8 shots depending on if you are using a minmitar assault suit or not.

Flaylock > Massdriver

This is not right. That's like if the scrambler pistol was better than the scrambler rifle,
or if the SMG was a better killer than the HMG..... oh wait.

In my opinion, is way OP. You cannot give that ammount of "bonus" damage to people who don't even aim at the body.
Also it's kinda dumb that a primary weapon, Mass Driver, requires more skill and time to take down anyone than a Flylock, which is a sidearm.

Options to fix it?
1.- Make it a single shot like a lot of high power weapons (Or charge shot, in the case of the Forge gun, which is pretty much single shot)
2.- Reduce the splash radious &/or splash damage (It's even ok with me if you increase it direct damage, cuz it must have a bounus if you are good with it).
3.- Reduce RoF, cuz right now it has no controll, like TAR had once.

I'm not saying to do all that at once, cuz it might be the same as the laser, which was nerfed so badly that is useless now.
TAR is still a good weapon & I like it for midlong encounters.

L8er!
