Thread: Weapons
Most weapon dealers aren't gonna supply you with krayt tissues unless you pay an arm and a leg.
I was lucky enuff to score some UBER krayt tissues immediately post-cu when krayts could be solo'd by a MBH. Now krayts are near impossible.
Look on the Bloodfin trade boards and see if you can't get some ball park range of 100 dmg tissues for a decent price. Take em to a smith and have him craft you a custom gun.
I'm lucky that I have my own personal smiths on my server. When they make a REALLY good gun they know I'm a good source of a payday so they give me a heads up on their latest creations.

Is there a benefit to using regular blasters and what's the difference, if any, between green and red? It seems that the ion/disruptor combo would be the best but maybe I'm missing something. Thanks.
When I was working up my first Pilot prof, I was using that Combo on the Dunelizard, and it was really good. At the time I couldn't really shoot two blasters simultaneously because of Capacitor issues. So I went sheilds first then armor. For the killing blow, I shot 'em both.
There's since been lots of discussion about the DPS on weapons, and the consensus is that a low Refire Rate will give you the best damage per second. If you're using Droid Commands, like WOL3 and Cap Overcharge, firing both guns together wont be an issue, so if you can get two weapons with a low refire, go crazy. My Quick-shot Blasters are always below .300.
Looted weapons will have a higher Refire than a Crafted gun, but a good RE job will usually compensate in other ways, like the super High damage or Effectivness.
The Blaster colour is nothing except a little continuity. In the Star Wars universe, Imperial ships traditionally fire Green Bolts and Rebels have Red.

This is not true.. at all... as a TKM your unarmed DPS (without weapon) with be 375 and arond 100 SAC..
with a weapon like the knucklers of katarnyou will have a DPSof around500 (unsliced) and a SAC of 75..personally i havea DPS of 555 and a SAC of 54 as i use SAC pups..
so in EVERY way using the knucklers of katarn will surpass unarmed in every way... butuntill you get th eknuckelrs of katarn, yes its better to go unarmed
