Among our Advantages is the Java Ion Rifle. Of course, you can layer an armor against Stun. How many people know they need Stun-Protection?



Anyway, we are still a bit unequal. Who cares. It is more fun the harder it is.

It is way past time for this to go. I can't count the number of times I've been one-shot. The group I hunt with alot is about as frustrated as I've become because they constantly have to wait for me to return from the cloning center after a mob teleports on top of me..stupid Baz Nitches. There is absolutely no justification for this multiplier, we already do unhealable damage to ourselves at an incredible rate..why throw this in?

Something is wrong when you can be taken down by a light blue con creature or NPC. It's just insult to injury.

The 2.5x melee damage is making us usless in fights. Had a herd of reds outside my front door yesterday. A group of us went to clean them out, but if I had time to get off more than one shot before being killed I was lucky. Most of the other people could kill one or two before getting killed or incap. I could not kill one. This was using a T21 with 5.7rate of fire 165-345 damage. This is just getting stupid. Looking at a T21's size a buttstroke should easily stun most small to medium critters.

Guy having to be revived three and four times a day not including cloning.

Come on guys lets get more sigs, tell your rifleman friends that you play with to come here and sign if they agree. Lets try to get this to a couple pages, at least we might get a response on why it is "balancing" or a justification for it.

This penalty is stupid and ridiculous. Would some please tell me why it hurts more to hold a rifle, even if that rifle has a nearly identical carbine counterpart (as with the E11) or that rifle is smaller than a pistol (as with the Spraystick)? The "riflemen can't defend themselves at point blank" is not a valid reason, if that were universal, we should get the modifier on brawlers at range because they can't defend against blaster bolts. We already have terrible attack mods at point blank on all our guns, I'm sick of getting hit in melee by Meatlumps for as much as Tuskens can hit me at range as well.

I vote to keep the 2.5x modifier. I do not sign your petition.
