So yeah...ended up with this but with the 3.4x scope. It doesn't lend to the sort of kills I get with the VX6-7, but it does lend to me living a LOT longer between respawns.

Also, something I've learned the hard way over the past 2+ months: the scope zooms are in addition to the inherit zoom that comes with changing your FOV when you zoom the gun even with plain old iron sights. This applies to ALL scopes. Accordingly, a 2x reflex scope is really akin to 3x magnification because you're already getting a zoom just by looking down the sights anyway. The game descriptions - like a LOT of other things - do nothing to make this clear.

Still, 2x reflex scope has become my favorite on almost every gun on all empires. But for this Pulsar C quasi-sniper, 3.4x works well.
