On bone armour -

The devs are weird...

On the Disruptor Rifle -

If i remember right...the Jk disruptor rifle wasnt named like the swg one (im talking about specific names here... ) But also...disruptor rifles were mentioned/briefly shown in the movies as well [subtle..very subtle]

On Kotor Look-alikes -

Lightsabers also looked the same...but remember the lightsaber that burned out since it got wet [in phantom menace..obi-wan's...] it wouldnt ignite until fixed? Meanwhile in the Clone Wars mini series and later on in the movies/expanded universe...lightsabers got a little bit more water proofing...[ok bad example overall]

Another example that's like the disruptor rifle...yeah maybe whoever created the Kotor type weapons have been using the same basic design...but quite obviously..after 4,000 years of development..it wouldnt be the same weapon....again im talking about the name....heh i would love to have the SW: RC rifle in swg as its a great design...but im pretty sure it wouldnt be named exactly the same way

Edit: to Continue...

btw...my name is Starnick..not Starnik

and punisher...yes you are very correct! But over the years ive noticed alot of game specific weapons/things dont always reappear in different Lucasarts games....maybe similar, but differently named...heck no idea why...maybe the devs just like making themselves a legacy with a new weapon...(like the Bryer Pistol used by Kyle in DF/JK series...have you see that in another SW game? I havent...)....its just that Ive noticed that the games generally use more of the movie content that arent always specifically named...or create their own varients or totally new weapons (like the DC-17m blaster)

I think that the HAR should be moved into the FT tree and have an Assault Rifle or Heavy Rifle tree, with some armor piercing, to round out the commando profession. It just makes sense, commandos usually don't use the same weapons as regular soldiers do in the battlefield, they are equiped with a vast assortment of weapons for many different situations. Most of the weapons that the commando gets certs for have a limited lifespan (the Heavy weapons tree, or the gernades), so it would be nice to have something other than the cliche FT or the useless HAR to use. We are supposed to be Elite troops not just guys with the same guns as everyone save for one useful piece of equipment.

B) Mind you...this weapon would be over 20 years old....most likely there would be new upgraded weapon varients by now.... (maybe they could use the DC line...bigger number )

A note on that... 20 years? How old is the M-16 rifle? It is Vietnam era which was 30 years ago or so. Granted that newer better versions have been made over the years, but the same weapon has been used for a long time.

there could be three different versions, using different barrels/stocks/scopes etc. used in crafting to result in a medium range carbine, longe range rifle etc.

so essentially just one weapon that could could be crafted three different ways- just an idea

When I looked at your post, I thought commandos, the design and concept of one, is versatlity.

If the devs to a real effort in coding something, they could make the Dc-17 blaster to be almost completely customizable such as range mods, variation of min/max dmg, or even a dif dmg type?

*ahem*

How many times must i say this...

Yes....you are correct on our main assault rifle in our armed forces being well over 20 years old...but its not the same exact version! Its a New and Improved version

Hence, a DC-17mA3 you may see! But you prolly wont see the DC-17m...not a carbon copy of it exactly...JUST like our assault rifle today...if we're going to see a DC line..we're going to see new and improved versions with higher numbers...thats what Im getting at....and I made that clear twice already

Im picky...the devs are picky...the SW timeline is picky...

...one of my guildmates killed something that warped out and looted a dc-17 schematic...i swear i am not making this up, it didnt hit me until i saw this thread, i thought it was another pistol (d-18... dc-17, see the confusion) i havent seen it for myself, i only read it in guildchat, coulda been a guildie pulling a fast one, but this is the same guy who is selling a componet for the rocket pack and posted shots on it. ill talk to him and see if i can get shots on it.
