I need a hand from some folks. Not because I'm lazy, but it's something a lot of peopel can contribute to pretty easily. Tonight I saw the movie style guns on my guildmate's ARC. It was a Borstel, and it's the only weapon Ive seen to look this way so far on that ship. It's pretty striking, and you'll recognize it instantly if you see it.

My question for everyone is, are there any other guns out there that generate that skin? The Incon Tri-Cannon? anything? I have REd my rewards with a mind for other looks and firing effects in most cases, and don't have instant access to more, so I'm asking anyone who knows or has seen other guns, to chip in the name.

In particular, I'm looking for loots that are other RE levels than RE8.

what you are looking for are weapons with the "default" graphic... borstel has it, and there is a level 6 or 7 as well... I'll dig thru my stock and find the ones aside from the borstel in the morning if no one else updates this by then (around 10am EDT)

bunny, on a whim .. try picking up a SW made disruptor of any level, as well as a SW made blaster with a red bolt... it's been a while, but IIRC these also have the graphic you are looking for.


If you are setting up your ARC to be a gunboat slayer with 2 turrets actually active... damage isn't going to be your main concern in this slot anyhow, right?

no, trust me, im not talking about default skin weapons. Ill try the crafted disruptor, but this is very very different than the default crafted gun.

Ok, status check as of this morning, I did find a Borstel in storage, and that did give the look im going for, but none of the loot guns I have around did. I should have made a list, but... Im lazy.

No I mean weapons that have what I call the "default" graphic... IE it goes with what ever the "default" is for that hardpoint, per chassis. You know, Ion cannon's all have roughly the same appearance on every fighter, just as some looted weapons have adistinctive graphic all their own and shows up pretty much the same on all chassis.But some weapons (like the borstel) look completely different when mounted into different chassis. look at a borstel on a JSF, it looks"stock" just like it does in the film... pop it on an Xwing... same thing... Stick it on any of the black sun chassis... it looks like a friggin bank vacuum tube..


Just trying to explain what I mean to make sure we're on the same sheet of music. To sum up... you're looking for something that has the "OMG HUGE HANGDOWN CANNON" look right? =) once I'm back home from work I'll find the 1 or 2 other weapons that do this for all chassis, and gives the movie look for the ARC and post... let me know what you find out from crafted guns as well.

Check the shipwright forums, there's a post about "looted gun effects" with screenshots of all of them and the effects of the various makes of weapons by level. A reverse engineered gun's visual effect is based on the first weapon put in the analysis tool. Lots of options out there.



...would master the pilot profession if the repeat mastery bug was fixed.

Not talking about the firing effect, talking about the skin and appearance of the weapon as it is mounted on the ship.

a lvl 9 rendili disruptor (i believe, if not it is for sure some variant of a rendili) has that graphic along with blue lasers.
