It would be nice to have at the very least a skill in the ScR tree for it.

im using it and my KDR went up from 0.5 to 0.9 in a matter of days

i love the weapon ... if anything its op due to its

The Gallente variant of "assault" must always be superior to the Assault version of the other race' Rifles.

Just like the Scramber Rifle is a lot better than the tactical assault rifle, if u don' agree try it first because clearly you can't understand 100 damage at nearly assault rifle rate of fire.

Overheat? haha every pro rest their gun when they go a bit "off" of their target which gives it time to cool down.

First of all, please don't touch the regular/charge scrambler rifle. It's perfect.

But the assault scrambler rifle needs some love.

I've been trying out the ADV version vs militia AR and let me tell you, the AR is much better. It comes down to bullet dispersion. The AR can be held quite easily on target. It requires minimal user input to remain pointed in the right direction. But with the scrambler rifle, even if I'm aiming perfectly at a target, half the bullets miss because the dispersion is so bad.

I'm okay with the assault scrambler rifle being a lesser version of the AR. After all, it's the Amarr's take on the AR. But right now it feels more like the Amarr's take on the SMG. It isn't working well in its intended role.

TL;DR: reduce bullet dispersion for the assault scrambler rifle.

So here's my thoughts on the ASCR -

It isn't a good weapon, nor should it be. It's a useful tool for people who have specced wholly into SCRs to have a half decent close quarters weapon. It does that job really well.

So yes, the ASCR is UP compared to the AR. and it should be. having a variant that can beat another weapon at it's forte is bad for balance.

The ASCR is handy for use on suits that aren't specced for using energy weapons, so there is also that trade off of greater versatility for having a bit of kick.

though it is rather odd that lasers have kick. I can over look that little bit though.

edit- reread OP.

A slight reduction in dispersion would be ok. Lasers should be accurate, after all.

In any case I'm more or less ok with the way the ASCR is now. It's useful, but not good enough to out perform the AR, or have people spec into it if they don't like the normal scrambler.

Honestly, I think the SCR family shouldn't have any kick. The thing is shooting light.

The ascram is worse at both short, medium and long range compared to an AR, which is a bit lame.

the ascram Does it's job of being a decent CQC weapon. the adv ascram matches if not beats the raw damage output of the Duvolle, and the Carthum ascram is comparable to the balac's.

Honestly, I think the SCR family shouldn't have any kick. The thing is shooting light.

Really? I'm using the wrong scram variant, then, because I really, really miss the accurate full-auto fire of the duvolle AR.

Just so you know light has momentum too.

Each photon has momentum equal to Plank's constant divided by the wavelength.

Hmm... Now I'm tempted to estimate the energy output per shot of the SR using SCIENCE!

the gallente ar is supposed to have the shortest range out of all the assault rifles....thats means all the other race rifles should have a range advantage....they dont....why not is beyond me...ccp better put the gallente rifle back in its damn place...as a short range assault rifle.
