The game is too easy. Part of the problem is overpowered gear (both by bug and design) and the complete joke of a death penalty. Since the community squealed like Ned Beatty in Deliverance over the still lame decay, the other logical place to balance is in the items we use to cause Death and Destruction.
If these changes are causing that much heartache, get out. Seriously. Leave. There's still plenty of people playing who can roll with the attempt to make the game better.
Yes!!! ROFLMAO!!!
I wish I was a Dev, then I could make all the whiners squeel like a pig.

For anyone with the old "pre-nerf" versions of these pistols with two power supplies, they will use the single power supply schematic when you pull them out of the crate.
Good to know that SOE can always be relied on to lay down the nerf on us. And why? Well I blame Chrysalia, JustG, Greenmarine, Q3PO and of course the Devs' foil, Thunderheart. Way to go, Dev team, now what little credibility that TH had left is shot and well I think you might get the picture of where yours is at also. Now, for your next trick, we get to have all multi-line crafting nerfed. Yeah having large numbers of Armorsmiths and Weaponsmiths quitting before the Space expansion will help the desirablity of your product right?

overpower?
They were player crafted. no special loot drops, nothing, just the skill of the smith and the resources. which was the way it was suppose to be right? look at guns now, standard stuff are low price, it takes a special loot drop to improve weapons, which must be camp.
now no more pernerf guns, its too powerful. OK!!!! you don't need that extra 30 damage just go rifleman and use AOE attacks to do 20k damage.

The AoE bug needs to be fixed. Not arguing that.
But if this update and the crafting changes are really enough to make you quit...I have to question how much fun you were having in the first place. Seriously.

That's hilarious. You're not serious, right?
The stealth way the Devs are doing this is disgusting. I'd go so far as to say it's dishonest.

It is called the last straw.
It is similar to being in a bad relationship, eventually you realize you would be better off ending it.
This is a game, it is Star Wars, it should be fun!
Don't forget.... They are also nerfing containers too... SO don't use bags, cargo pocket, satachels to store those pre-nerf guns either!
What are they doing to containers?
Personally, if the FWG5 was not supposed to have two power handlers, they should of fixed this a long time ago, not after the game has been live for 9 months.

Well - this will probably get pretty toasty - but this is what happened.
Schematics for FWG-5 and others were broken, able to be made with two components where there should have been one. This resulted in weapons that (once enhanced by krayt tissue) landed outside the spec for a weapon of that damage type and certification level.
These weapons were fixed to bring them back in line with the rest of the weapons (the nerf). All existing weapons are unaffected and thus are pre-nerf.
The crates of weapons are not weapons, they are objects that auto-craft a weapon with a set of stats according to the rules of the game. Currently the crates that are supposed to generate "pre-nerf" weapons try to auto-craft, are told by the system that said weapon is invalid and can't exist, and thus don't do anything.
This mechanic is an important check-and-balance to prevent people from making up whatever stats they want on their weapons via exploit hacks.
They are now fixing this so that the auto-craft action now creates a weapon more in-line with the new rules of the system. If they allowed the auto-generate to create weapons out of spec - I'd wager that that would open up a bunch of exploits allowing new creation of extinct weaponry.
Simple facts and fixing a system that was out of whack. It's a game folks - not the end of the world.
Holy crap best post ever on this topic!!!! Somebody that actually knows something other than we aren't allowed to have powerful guns.

They WERE made using a type of exploit, not in the true sense but the projectile feed mechanism was bugged and gave out unreal stats and when Weaponsmiths found out they made crates like there was no tommarrow and then thats why the Scatters were too powerful. And on the FWG5 you were able to add an additional power adder to it to make it more powerful.
Both were Bugs and the devs fixed them and everyone cried nerf. It was NOT a nerf it was a fix because the schematics were broken. Everyone feels they should have a gun that is almighty. SO WHAT if the gun does 50 less max damage, they both are pistols and you shoot them at less than a sec per shot anyway.
I have a pre-nerf T-21 that is double the power of todays T-21, if they decided to take away EVERY pre-nerf weapon would i cry? Nope it is WAY overpowered and if it goes poof in the night then big deal its just a weapon. You guys act like weapons decay after each lair. I went from Novice Marksmen to Master Rifleman/Master Bounty Hunter with 1 rifle, 1 carbine, 1 pistol.
They are finally fixing a broken system and you guys complaing... /sigh
