Hmm. I think the reason we're not getting what we want is mainly because we don't know what we want. Some just want updated stats and schematics, while others are asking for whole new weapon types. I think we need to imploy more structure to this. What will take the least ammount of time to fix, then move on to more elaborate ideas. Here is my idea;
Step 1: Submit a long termproposal to the Devs
Basically just tell them what we've composed so far. We want to add the Rantok schemaitics to the craftable weapons list, and we want adjusted HAM costs and adjusted speed. Although I would not reccomend it, you could put REALISTIC basics for the preferred cost changes. Then mention that in a more long term sence, we would like some new weapons designed for our Profession. So far, the majority would apt for some sort of Star Wars-ish raipier as a Masterweapon, as well as some Vibroswords or some such.
Step 2: Begindrafting changes to the HAM and speed.
Simple. Just start with the suggestedadjusted stats, then submit it to the Forum for deliberation and ideas. After a few weeks, write a summary and send it to the Devs. The adjustments will be up to them.
Step 3: Continue this post with weapon ideas, but with more structure
Continue this post with a little more discipline. We want new wepons,and the Raipier takes the cake for most requested. Lets work on that. What type of Raipier is it? Is it Vibro,Blaster tipped, armor piercing, none of the above or all of the above. Berealistic withthe requests. I could see the Vibroraipier, or the Blast Sword (Vibro raipier withblaster components in the tip) as plausable ideas.
Step 4: Begin questioning about future Fencer skills
Fencers are unique, but they could be even moreso. The system is being reworked as we speak,so adjusting the Fencer's combat skills may be a little post-mature. However, things change andwehave time to think out different abilities like the Duel weapon wielding and the system behind that.
After that, wait for awhile and after a few more patches and advancementscompare the old notes to what has been done, andmove the list to the next most important item! Fencer is a powerful and fun profession and with structure, it may be enhanced.
