If it was buffed anymore then it would be OP.

The because we are dealing with CCP here they will nerf it into oblivion and it will be months until the LR is even usable.

Don't u touch it CCP leave it alone, unless you want to buff it.

Pretty hard to imagine them being nerfed anymore. Its hard enough to like them at present, even when they are free.

I tried to like them, I really did, but not

Ok so they are semi useful as as support weapon. Anything else, forget about it.

Are they any good now?

I rarely see them since the respecs. Don't think I've ever seen one in PC.

Well before I say anything about them lets just say I'm an amarrian loyalist, running with and Amarrian RP corp who only use Amarrian things, and basically are adopting a battle strategy akin to what we imagine true amarrians would use in battle.....


The gun is really nice, very good for area denial, and with damage mods its a very potent weapon. however as before it does light you up like a Christmas tree, you cant shoot **** up close, and you'll score mostly assists over true kills.....

but its the coolest and most entertaining weapon in this game and puts IMO the MD and Flaylock to shame since they never get anywhere near my anymore.

Im burning people like we are in chromo again.

It just needs that damned iron sight removed now and all will be well.

The Iron sight it quite handy atm.

It just needs that damned iron sight removed now and all will be well.

I've heard varying things, some like it while some don't. Would you agree that there's more room for improvement at least?

I usually feel obliged to rush to all laser rifle threads to defend it, but it seems Adamance has already stated all my views. Even with the iron sight, it may sound crazy but I prefer that over how it was in Chromosome.

My problem isn't with the iron sights, it's with how low your turns speed goes when you ADS. I can barely track a sprinting heavy. In chromo that was the strength, you could actually track targets. Now pretty much anyone can outrun it.

My only issue with the weapon is the feedback damage 150-225 is WAAAAAY too high.

QFT ADS tracking is ridiculous slow.

Perhaps both of you should bump up your sensitivity in the options?

When I'm firing at it's optimal range the tracking speed is faster than people can run.

I find it abhorrent how slow the aim movement is when you are looking down the sights. Its ridiculous, especially with the new strafing its very hard to keep on top of someone with that laser.

CCP I dont even know what you guys are thinking. Must have some real good smoke over there in Iceland.

Is it just me or does your ads speed slow down when you use armor plates? I like to spawn in first with my adv elm suit, get down uplinks and ammo (R) in my laser platforms. When I die I bring in my big gun, and I usually stack a few complex plates on it. Seems like the aiming changes.

I would love to see some variants, I'm pretty solid at tracking from the hip in closer ranges, it feels awesome. But does 0 dmg.

Does any body know how to calculate the dmg?
I'm thinking it's something like. Base dmg x time holding beam^2
