No it didn't I am willing to bet. Are you forgeting about the "fudge factor"? The fudge factor stats that you may be up to 6m from where you think you really are. So at 70m you really might be at 64m. I have been doing shots anywheres from 58m to 70m on my screen. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Also different things I believe are easier tohit than others, not saying it isn't possible the Devs did something for use just believe its unlikey they would do something for the rifle class and not make a really big deal about it. Especially since they know we are the most disgrunteled combat class.

Now that I read the rest of the posts, my screenshot is of me shooting a Turtur on Talus. Those things are quite large, of course.


And my dlt20a was shooting a faction base. I'll test again on some humanoids and re-post.

Just tried my laser rifle on a twi'lek chunker pest, I could not fire until 65/64 meters which is about right.


So much for that

I have always been able to hit at 70m on things like fambaa but is is is an npc no more then 65m but have not today so i'll have a look.


One more thing, when is starsider going to get a darn T-21 rifle. Darn the resources spawn already.






also I think it is the size of the target you are shooting, I can hit a Krayt dragon 75m out, but can't hit a dwarf nuna till about 64 (accurately at 50-55m out)

I was on Talus yesterday doing faction missions and Hilltop Kimas with a friend of mine. I didn't see any change in the damage I was doing. I use laser rifles a lot though, may just be in inconsistant damage from that weapon.


I think you are secretly a Bounty Hunter/Pistoleer combo who is trying to buff up our image in order to pacify the developers. YOU ARE TRYING TO KEEP THEM FROM HELPING US!!!


Just kidding, it was the tequila talking.


I did notice that it STINKS trying to shoot a Hilltop Kima from 35 meters with a Laser Rifle/DLT20a/E11/Jawa Ion/SG82. But thats my own dumbarse fault for not getting my spraystick out.
