Solar yes, Plasma rifle was most used because there was enough drugs so it was hardcore drug characters on psycho with plasma rifle, but in normal game this char is really expensive to play. You need lot of drugs.

Yes, but good sneaker WITHOUT jet can throw 5 plasma nades at really short time (1 nade=2 AP) so this is sure death if you haven't got tesla armor. With turbo plasma you shoot slower and WITHOUT jet you can shoot once and this shoot can be crittical or not. If not, you do maximal damage for 65-armor threshold and resistance. If you do critical it should be I think from 50hp to maybe 200-300hp (I really don't know how big can be critical with plasma rifle)

Why use turbo plasma rifle with psycho? I think it's great for it's range. On psycho you can use normal plasma rifle.
But interesting on this topic is that snipers want plasma rifle and psycho bigguners don't want it.
Elmehdi:
Well, adding TPR would certainly give some alternative for energy gunners. Noone uses plasma rifle in PvP at the moment because of its low range and high cost.

I've been seeing several Plasmas in TC recently. See Izuals latest video for a reference.

And how many miniguns and snipers you seen on this video? 20 miniguns, 20 snipers and 5 plasma rifles?
I think that if someone is taking town some GM should go into town and check the battle, like Rusty is doing, he is standing and watching battle. If you will do it, you will see, that plasma rifles are in battle useless. I tried use plasma rifle in last few days but on big maps like Gecko, Modoc or Klamath it's useless due its range and in Reding and Broken Hills it's useless if you aren't on psycho because this maps are full of psycho big guners. Last week I saw in battle lot of SG snipers, bigguners, but energy snipers are rare.
I like EW, I'm using laser rifle, but vs metal armor it's really useless if you haven't got bypass you do critical damage for max. 50hp... I have to choose target in CA or leather because I can hurt them more.
Just try add plasma rifle to game, you if it will be overpowered, you can allways remove it from game, or just increase range to normal plasma rifle to 35-40 hexes. It's beta test so lets test something new. ;)
Solar:
So we are agreed, Plasma was used there. 8)
Rest of the post I disagree with, but have to get back to work so can't give the full reasons. But suffice it to say Laser Rifles are equally popular in TC compared to Snipers - based off stats generated by the server and not just impressions and guess work.
(Also, I watch plenty of TC fights, you just don't see me ;) )
