Thread: Petition for Novamarine
All the Correspondents have been quiet lately..
...maybe good news is coming?
I agree with OnlyMaestro's post earlier. We dont need a Stun carbine. There were only two stun weapons once that i knew of...Stun baton, and Jawa gun. then pistoleers got one...now we have stun layers in armor. coincidence? probly not. The more Stun damage weapons out there, the more the resists against it will continue to rise. I'd much prefer a new carbine of a non-energy/acid/heat type with AP2 and a decent damage range (150-2xx min/max) as it would help with both PVP and PVE-highend content NPCs. Stun is way over-rated.

Remember, the riflemen were b!tching just as hard when they revamped the themeparks, and there were 2 "new" pistols and 1 "new" carbine added.
Really, the ones who have the biggest "right" to complain are the melee classes. Especially 1-H melee. I don't believe there is *ANY* limited use weapon schematic for 1-H melee. 2H has Scythe, Lancer has Nighsister Lance, Carbineer has Enhanced E11, Pistoleer has Modified Republic Blaster, Featherweight FWG5, Geonosian Sonic Blaster, and coming in the next dungeon another new pistol. Rifleman has DXR6b rifle, and beserker rifle
Oh yeah... and TK. They shouldn't have any weapon at all. Unarmed means that. UNARMED.
Although, IMO, overall there just aren't enough weapons in the game. I would personally like to see 30 - 40 weapons *per* type. (IE: 30 - 40 carbines, 30 - 40 2H Swords, etc)
I have said it before and I will say it again. Give me AP2 on the Elite and fix the splash damage on the EE3. I will love the Devs for this.
Ok yes I would love to see more carbines, but I do not see any hopes for it for Death Watch mini-publish, I would see it for the Star Destroyer mini-publish.
Why, because what weapon didStormtroopers use mostly in Star Wars Films, a Carbine. Yes they called them blasters but everything was a blaster. Also another big thing is the art department is working on Image Designer right now and also the SE so getting out a new Carbine might be tough this late into the Death Watch push. So I could see it for the Star Destroyer or maybe GCW publish.
As for more weapons I was so hoping this game would be littered with different looking weapons. But I was sadly mistaken. From reading the Dev Letters each month, it does look like they want more options available for more weapons, clothing, skin tone extra but it takes time and developement and time in the art department and said art has to be approved by the granddaddy of Star Wars and thats Lucas and his team up at Lucas Arts and guess what they are just as swamped with projects they are working on remember they have other things to work on other then Star Wars Galaxies. Like finishing up the final movie to the pre-trilogy.
If we do get any more weapons I would love to see more cold/kinetic/electric damage typeweapons for carbineers and even pistoleers I play both.
Well its late for this wookiee so hes off to his bed.
