Carbineer Archive

So I woke up this morning at 11:30 (yes thats still morning thank you...) And I read the post about making the Elite Carbine have Stun damage. A lot of the replys ended by saying, "yeah that'd be cool but the Devs would never go for it." Part of me understands that and I'm not gonna be telling anyone how to do their job. So heres the meat and potatoes: I'm looking for some boundrys about what kinds of ideas we can try to formulate. For instance, I know coding a new gun takes more effort than changing the stats of another (ex: DXR6 stun rifle just looks like a DXR6 wth a stock and does stundamage) So would it be easier to say then that we would like a chopped version of the SG82? or maybe and extended version of a Tangle pistol?

As a carbine only man and a weaponsmith I can tell you that of the ranged professions, we have the least amount of damage to choose from, we get energy, acid, and heat. compare this to the Pistols which get heat, blast, energy, stun, acid, and kenetic. (off the top of my head, I might be missing some) Point is we have less weapons and redundant weapons two nearly cloned energy weaps, two very similer acid weaps, one of which can't be made by a weaponsmith thus lowering it status to "wall decoration"

So what do you think Nova? Whats ok to ask? I think that this issue falls a close second to our broken specials and may be easier to fix/incorperate. I want to help, I just don't know where to draw the line.

Anyway, please take a look and respond when you have the time. Carbineers are patient people...

... you'd have to be with guns like that...

Thanks ahead of time. ~Ozzimo
