how bout them psgs?

i was brainstorming ways to maybe better use them without just stripping the saber resist or making them anti-decay proof, but actually keeping them floating around in game...heres what i came up with

seems like for some folks using them, mainly melee types it's a coffin nail, coulndt hurt them with an A-wing and a nuke...but for others, the more ranged type it actually gives them the fighting chance that bhs have been wanting and in some cases needing.

so the solution i have is to make only one type of psg carry the saber resist (it can be up to 60-ish% right?) and make it require certification to use and then, put that cert in ...........................................the master bounty hunter box

now before i go on, dont take that to mean im against bh dabbling in melee and stuff, but melee bh's dont really NEED the extra resist, with the toughness and mitigation on top of intimidate and synth and jedi having 0% saber block against melee, the psg is really just superflous.

what has been one of the biggest things on the BH wish list (aside from player bounty system)?

as far as ive read, they want cool gizmos to help them be specialists in their hunting, and something to let them compete with saber block.

this would give both of those things

if that were in place, a master bh who lacks the melee defense, mitigation, toughness and all those goodies their melee cousins get, could now compete without having to drop the profession for others...how would tka's feel if htey had to get a row of bio engineer for their meditation to work properly..thats kinda how most master bh's feel...master bhs should have an edge that non masters dont

that would give master bh's 60 some odd percent reduction, plus 40 some odd from synth, which is pretty comprable to saber block ..i leave out intimidate casue not all ranged templates can work that in so its not a granted...but put that in too and you can finally stand long enough to land a few shots.

anyway just food for thought..i pefer to find ways to fix stuff in game by including and balancing unique items like pgs, not just trashing them

With the on going PSG problem I have a recommendation. Why not make it so that the PSG will have a lightsaber resist that will not disappear, but also make it so jedi can wear them. Jedi Knight anyone? Kyle wore a PSG in the game. Why can't the jedi wear a LS PSG. *shrug* Just thinking outloud.

PSG's have not changed recently, theyve been there for a long time. What has changed is now people can put ADK kits on them.

yeah but my point was to even the fields a little bit and allow jedi to wear them as well as taking away the ADK ability on the PSGs.

give everyone ls resist psgs and jedi all migrate to mpowers.

the problem is there existance in teh game period. pull them. dont compound the problem.

how about bump up LS dmg to 1200 max to counter the 60% reduction?

you know whats funny-- psg's have ben around for a long time -- and yes the ADK has made em tougher (personally a sa BH I have mine o na max 900 damage krayt laser rifle..)

but I know alot of BH's that read the froums Here (Jedi one) and you all made them aware of doing this --

If it was not for the Jedi forums most jedi wouldnot know to put the ADK on a PSG -- THANK YOU GUYS!

ready for the 1 star

but as a ranged BH -- this lev3els the field a littl,e -- now niether of us hit each other.

Just an idea...

How about we make PSGs more like the Jedi force armor system. Make it a timed buff that lasts for a certain amount of time then shuts off (long enough for a mission to be completed, harvesters checked, or a live event) Also, it should have afairly long reuse time(like the cyberarms). The icon should show up where the other buffs display.

If it's been mentioned before sorry, but I don't live here; I live under a bridge like a good troll should
