Actually, I'd prefer something more like this:


Ok, first of all,removeAoEfrom every weapon. Leave the job of the primary "specials" weapons to grenades. Dump the nade timers entirely and up their damage A LOT. And fix their danged effects so they stick and last ore than a few seconds. Up their stack size and make them far easier to craft. Maketheir effects as follows:


C12: No effect.


C22: Armor Break.


Glop: Blind.


Cryoban: Root.


Zicx Bug Bomb: Daze.


Thermal: Powerful Flame Dot.


Proton: Advanced Armor Break.


This keeps us from having a major advantage by being able to take smuggler and pistoller mezzes and spread them like wildfire. And it also then justifies us as being the heavy damage dealers we're supposed to be.


As for specials, I only think we really need a few. The most important would be a damage multiplier that upped the damage per shot on our lower level weapons so we can use them effectively. Make the overall damage slightly higher than improved leg from carbineer. Thus, we can almost match the damage from a rifleman while retaining some of the utillity you originally wanted us to have.

/salute StarNick


I'm glad to see all the work you put in may be getting all of us some where, but (and I hate to be this way), does that mean soon, or "soon"*tm?

It doesn't relate to this post though (in regards to specials).

For you to be dancing, that must mean AOE and Grenade fixes.

Last time we got something for the profession enough to get Starnick excited like that it turned out to be VERY VERY BAD, aka, the CU.


The point: Don't get your hopes up until we see exactly what it is we're getting.

I know. Thats what scares me as well.


Too often what Nick (or any other correspondent) sees before us often is completely reverse of what comes to live.


Some great ideas, just very poor execution.

The devs are masters at implimenting things horribly.

"For you to be dancing, that must mean AOE and Grenade fixes."

At this point, even fixes for flamethrower issues get me dancing.
