These look great, to bad there are no pikes yet i cant wait for those. Anyone besides me think that this will affect the market on all the uber weapons (ei power hammers) going throu the trade? I saw one that was 1080 max dmg go for like 30mill, i feel sorry for who ever bought that if the Upgrade dramaticly changes things, that power hammer wont be as uber as it is now.

Btw i just saw that picture of that EXTREMLY uber PH in neinnunb's post a bit ago, where did that thing come from?? where was it looted??

The actual numbers on things are completely relative to the system. What's "uber" at 1080 max damage now, might well be "uber" at 25 max damage after the CU. The numbers mean nothing without the context. Tell a friend who has never played SWG that you bought a 1080 max damage hammer for 30 million credits, and he's likely to say "huh?"


An "uber" lightsaber in KOTOR is 30 max damage. That's not even a good CDEF pistol for newbies in SWG, and survival knives even have higher max. As you can see, it's all relative to the system and the context of that system. What is "uber" now, will be "uber" after the CU, simply with different numbers assigned to it.

point well taken, but with the new changes with the types of dmg and all it may change it alot. right now the PH has blast dmg and i can hit a gurk for 5k dmg with a hammer that has 500 max dmg b/c of the gurk have 10% vulnerablity to blast dmg but wont that change since the types of dmgs are gonna change, atleast thats wat i thout after reading the things about the CU and new armor system

New weaps look great! hoping they arent all uber rare drops requiring bizarre items to make. Lets get some more comparitively available resources used in the schematics for these things! Has anyone tried making them? or has anything been announced as to how and where to get em?

Just me or does the Proton Carbine look a little like an HK G36K Carbine. Most likely you've seen it in Video Games and movies, it was in FarCry and SWAT 4, Rainbow 6. Along with being in almost every cop movie that's come out in the past 4 years along with T3.

I'll agree with the double bladed sword idea for pike, something like thoughs that you see in KOTOR2.
