Add Beam Rifle Cert to Novice Commando.

Change Beam Rifle damage to Stun or Restraint (its worse than the jawa anyway).

Change the color of the weapon.. to blue/black or silver or red/white. So it looks a bit different from acid rifle.

Change the Bolt fired by the weapon to be a SINGLE shot that has the same effect as the probot droid's laser (fires one shot, but that shot has this little explosion thingy when it hits), change color of bolt to be blue or purple or cyan... or just copy/paste it from the SG82 rifle.

Make Rifle be AP2

Put specials in Field Tactics for the beam rifle:

box2: Beam Single1. 1k max damage on single target, gun fires a constant beam, special has 3 seconds delay, beam keeps 'streaming' during the delay.

Box4: Beam Cone1: same as single, but cone effect.

Master Box: Beam Single2 & Beam Cone2: Same as its earlier versions, but does 3k damage max.

Weapon can use rifle specials. (again, it is worse than a jawa ion stat-wise so riflemen arent getting cheated off a 'better' stun damage weapon).

The Beam Rifle would give the commando a mediocre long range weapon, surpassed by laser rifle and by t21 and even the jawa ion rifle in damage. However, the AP2 rating gives the commando a stun damage weapon that is able to take on higher armored targets (and after all, STUN damage from ION weapons are, in the star wars universe, the weapons used to DISABLE machinery.. hello? vehicles are machines. We are the anti-vehicle class!).

Heavy Ion Cannon:

Get rid of the Acid Streamer heavy weapon, its damage is worse than the acid rifle specials (and thats like adding salt to a wound and slapping the wounded guy in the facewith a trout at the same time).

Replace it with a weapon that does NO damage (bear with me here) but that deals an EFFECT.

Heavy Ion Cannon would cause a 20 second warcry effect on any target it hits. Single-target, no AOE effect.

Just like R2D2 was knocked out by a jawa ion rifle, just like a star destroyer was knocked out of action by an ion cannon in the empire strikes back, just like in the xwing games the Y-Wing with its Ion Cannon would disable ships... make this be the weapon commandos can use to disable machinery so they can attack it.

Make it as hard to craft as the rocket launcher. Voila.

Beam rifle is actually a rifle it gives rifle xp, but it seems no one has the ert for it so the dmg goes way down.

actuly commandos did aringley have the cert for them but along with the har the cert was broken lol

so yes the beam rifle is and was a commando wep and needs to go back to commando and be mad blast dam and have a attack just like the llc and for graghics with special have a nice gaint beam of laser swip evrey thing in its path
