WTF Pulsar?

[Rbstr]

Ok i just have to ask why the pulsar does more damage than the guass has a higher refire and a bigger clip?

Thats not right. It doens't go along with the way the empires are suposed to be balanced.

You see the Damage degradation of the guass starts mediumish(10 shot kill on agile) and has a gently slpoing line untill it hits it's max range.

the Pulsar Starts at a Decently higher damage (under 10 shot kill 7 ish i think on a agile) then the degradation slope goes at a slightly steeper slope so it crosses the gauss something like 20m away from their max ranges.

Now i think the starting damaages shoudl be switched around, the guass would get to keep the slope it has now and the Pulsar woudl get a slope slightly less than its current one. so they still crossed over each other. then becasue this woudl buff those two quite decently the cyclers could get an additional 5 points of damage.

Now the MA buff would do two things, make current MA users happier/keep them form thinking that need HA to compete. and perhaps make some HA users trade in thier Certs for things more usefull, like Support/vech certs

I think the pulsar has worse accuracy overall than the gauss (and the damage degredation is nasty, dunno the numbers but it definatly feels that way). But I do agree the NC should have a more powerful rifle at the expense of lower RoF/accuracy.

It has a much slower expanding COFm thogut the initial is the same, after 3 guass rounds its starts expanding and within roughly 4 more its all the way expanded. The pulsar while not as good as the cycler is better at controling the COF.

i love the gauss now.

Indeed, the Pulsar has seemed quite powerful of late. Most notably, I have seen small camps of Pulsarmen on hills warding off more than a hundred of us Terrans. But maybe we just suck

[Desperado]

Don't touch my pulsar, damnit

Enter the Barneys...

I would much rather play against 12 pulsars than 5 guys with lashers

[JetRaiden]

I dont really have a problem with it. I just own them with my jackhammer.

and if they're far away, Ill just own em with my gauss rifle.

It's because I haven't renewed my subscription.

Gauss is uber. I can't kill anything with the Cycler.

really? i really like it, its great for short to medium range, just open up, and don't stop until they are dead. I like the fact that it has alot of ammo. Admittedly its not that great at long ranges, but it has so much ammo to spare is one of its great points.

[Rbstr]

yeah, its nearly as good as some HA up close

[SilverLord]

It's really hard for me...lol...maybe it's because all I use is teh MCG?
