Rename the AR once other variants come out make it the Blaster Rifle so there is nothing called the AR which will make the majority of new players think before going "Uhhhh.... me be scrub, me need assault rifle!" they won't see an assault rifle then they'll be more likely to choose a more interesting variant. |

The fact that anyone running a free suit to save ISK is probably using an AR is bound to significantly skew your data in it's favor.
Shoud the Amarr Starter fit come with ScRs? |

The AR is handed to ALL new players, the moment they set foot into Battle Academy.
It's no surprise (to me) that the majority (at least of newer) players in pub matches would be more familiar and comfortable with, and therefor more likely to use, an AR over any of the other weapons. Exactly. There is a bit of a bias in the results but, nonetheless, it is an interesting statistic.
Shouldn't the Amarr Suit get a Militia Scambler Rifle? |

Which weapon? - shotgun can OHKO with a wider reticle at close range. - sniper rifle, forge gun, laser rifle have obvious range advantage. - CFLP and mass drivers do increased damage to armor - nova knives can OHKO without giving opponent chance to react. - scrambler rifle offers ability to charge for high alpha headshots. - mass drivers are better at assist farming / lolareadenial All those weapons suck, even in their own niches, the AR might not be the best at anything, but it certainly is second best at everything, and definitely not a true "jack of all trades, master of none" weapon, it simply isn't average enough for that. Oh, but this fine because they don't have the range of snipers and can't OHKO   sniper rifles, forge guns, shotguns and... CFLP suck? 
Weapons that are OP
CFLP (RoF nerf needed) ,Shield LLAVs front bumpers (add anti-shield AV)
Weapons that are balenced
ScR,MD,AR,Sniper,Shotty,FG,HMG,Knives,Swarms,SMG,ScPistol,most turrets
Weapons that are UP
Laser Rifles(range buff can't compete with Tac AR),Plasma Cannon (reduce Arc, increase projectile speed, increase Direct damage),Small Railgun turrets(increase direct Damage or make like hybrid equivelents to missles) |
