Commando Archive

As a WS I often get requests from commando's on my server for the limited use weapons, especially rocket launchers and the particle beam cannons. Unfortunately due to the complexity and time issues in making these weapons I usualy find myself having to let them down and say I don't do them.

However recently I saw a guild commando in action using a rocket launcher and thought wow !!! they rock, the accuracy might be low but when this thing hit it was awesome. This changed my mind and I thought maybe I should start making these as they look like in certain situations they could be really usefull and as most WS don't deal in them it means most commandos may not get to use them.

My question therefore is what is a reasonable price for these. My WS shop is quite well known on my server and I like to think i provide good weapons for reasonable prices. So I am trying to get a feel from the commando community as a whole as to what they would think is reasonable ( I know free would be nice, but I think we both know that is not possible).

This is only for "market research" and not a sales pitch so any input would be really appreciated.

Thanks

70k for 2 (10 grenades, 2 stacks)

Thats like the highest, but I have seen from regular frags like 15-25k PER stack...

Only the best and uberest Master Weaponsmith on Chilastra that ever was - Esraf (owner of Esraf Arms, still use some of her stuff despite she hasn't been a MWS for a 1 yr+ now)...she charged like 25k a crate...ora bout 1k per grenade. Only grenades I use still...her's as I still got 2 crates

Prices for em have definately gone up, no doubt because of FXP grinding...

But good news...my old friend, Esraf came back just yesterday!!!!!

"These weapons will not be used as much as the primary Commando weapon (The flamer) they are mostly special occasion stuff.. say AT ST.. So I dont mind paying up for them, as I dont spend em fast. Id say charge somewhere between 1.5K and 2K pr shot"

You kidding? Our disposables are the worst against AT-ST stuff...its faster, and more economically sound to use our LP against them. Since AT-ST's are vuln to the Rocket Launcher, the AP goes out the window...maybe just maybe an HPBC may hurt - that is if you dont miss.

Anyways, I found a crate of 25 stacks of Imperial Dets. on chilastra for 70k...so I guess there are some MWS' out there that charge fairly...

Heh what was the commando firing his RL at?

Grenades might be a bit more effective (or a lot more) than our disposable HW weapons...but unfortunately on my server, like 2 stacks of Imperial detenators go for 75k...

Thanks for all your input guys. I have decided to sell individual ones at 27.5k (sliced and 31 use) and crates of 5 at 125k.

With regards to the other heavy weapons commandos get, which ones would you as commandos like to see more readilly available ? I am not sure what they are used for so it is dificult for me to decide which ones to make.

Thanks again
