Approved Submission S6-MWS2 "Harbinger"

.45 ACP is at tier 2, and .50cal is still at tier 4.

I have lowered the tier of the 45 to a T1 on the weapon to reflect the change in the ammo on the request of Frostjaeger.

• S6-SCPR

@Jack Pine - Would you mind changing the tier of the S6-SCPR ammunition to the values listed below, please? It's because having the ammunition at its current tiers makes the S6-MWS2 "Harbinger" too powerful when compared to similar personal weapons within the setting.

Your asking me to lower and anti-armor round to that of a normal round which makes no sense. These are not standard rounds. And the 50cal EM is a purely energy projectile when fired.

I'd like for @Wes to weigh in on this, please, as in my official opinion the ammunition is overpowered in its current state.

As it is, there's not really enough plasma in a round that size to do considerably more damage, and at best it could be considered to do as much damage as a tier 3 at most, so Frost's requests are justified.

Damage edited

Thanks, @Jack Pine - but would you mind changing the S6-SCPR .308 to Tier 2 and the S6-SCPR .50cal EM to Tier 3, please?

@FrostJaeger done

Thanks for making the changes, @Jack Pine! ovob

Recently a fellow member looked over this wiki article and realized with a bit of research that the RPM's for a few of the configurations were far lower then their real world equivalents. The others were also somewhat lower, and offered to correct this in the article. I am making this post to inform the NTSE of this correction. Thank you for your time.

I'm not too sure about how this would work out in terms of balance. I think it's valid to want to make this change, but I'm not sure if this would make the weapons too overpowered or not. Do you mind giving me a day or two to give things a think over since Frost is unable to post right now?

One thing I would like to point out, however, is that while ballistic speeds should line up at least roughly with real-life bullets, firing rates don't have to do so, and with the firepower your guns have, they don't have to shoot very fast.

I already made that point to the person who suggested the changes, they were very insistent. Given where they were was sufficient for their roles. So if these edits aren't okay, it's no problem to me, can just revert to the last version of the page. I look forward to hearing from you after you've thought on it though.
