Just curious on the thoughts of the community here...since most novice to mid level professions have their weapons ONLY level based, and Commandos, at least currently, have ALL of our weapons box restricted (only Commandos can use), I wonder if we should agree to allow our non-special enhancing weapons to be JUST level based...Like letting our Launcher Pistol and Massassi Knucklers could be level based and not Novice Commando box restricted...this would allow professions like TK and Pistoleer to finally have a chance at these weapons without taking up any of Commando, while at the same time protecting all of our other Commando weapons by keeping them Commando restricted...
Thoughts? I'm not saying I'm for or against this idea...I'm just curious what other Commandos think about making at least these 2 weapons (the LP and the Knucklers) be just Level based...

I wouldn't mind the LP/MK, but I honestly doubt many folks would really even desire to use them considering the MK's are low level (by the time you get the cert for them, you'll be beyond novice TKA and that is if they give UA xp...haven't looked yet). For the LP...there are higher level kinetic ranged weapons that would simply do a better job, considering other professions wouldn't use it for leveling as it gives a radically different xp, and once they don't need experience, they're onto bigger and better things.

the only two weapons I'd aprove of being only level based are what you mentioned, the LP and MK. Any other weapons and you're taking away from commandos. We are our weapons. I don't think we should give them away.

i agree those would work but since the rest of the weapons are where are specials went they should remain commando only.

There will probably be mid and high level versions of the Launcher Pistol added shortly.

I would love to have the opportunity to use a launcher pistol as a non-commando! I hope this gets to happen eventually.

This would be very nice. I was happy to use a launcher again in TC, brought back some fine memories. I'm now on the edge of if I want to go back to commando after the CU goes live, but have to do some more testing first.

The Launcher Pistol and Massassi Knucklers would make sense to have multi-certed. The MK's are weak compared to VK's so it's unlikely they would be used, but hey, why deny someone the option? Stronger versions of the Launcher would be interesting to see, so props to Helios on that.

While you are feeling generaous and all....As a master rifleman, I am of the opinion that anything with the word 'Rifle' in it should be usuable by a master RIFLEman!

Will the same criteria that applies to krayted flame thrower conversion be applied to gorax launcher pistols?

I dont mind sharing the LP or MKs, but thats all. The only problem i see is the XP given. If they give heavy XP then for grinding they are not really useful for other professions. If people are not grinding, they i assume that they are higher lvl than the weapons, and they prolly have access to better weapons at that point.
