What you guys think? Should DE-10 be awesome and given the skills and requirements is deserves?

There are also lots, and lots and *lots* of RotW pistols that are already certed at Master Pistoleer, so putting the DE-10 up there too is a little unecessary. The Trandoshan Suppressor, for example;that's a profession-validating uberpistol right there. Plus,existing DE-10s(and new ones here and there) have percolated around among other combat classes too. So taking their certs away would be pretty lame.

I can't, I dont speak Rifleman.

yeah, he has been kinda hard to understand recently...

To tell the truth, the DE-10 isn't very StarWarsy(TM) looking. I can understand why this weapon is being phased out. On the other hand, the DE-10 was my ADK'd weapon of choice pre-CU until it got a huge nerf. Given the difficulty in obtaining one, it "should" be better, but at the moment is simply a blip in the radar screen of the combat upgrade.

The way we do things around here, is you tell me what your issues are in the sticky thread above, I collate the information and take it to the Dev team.

The DE-10is in our current top 5 issues.

Really? I didnt notice lots and lots. They are spread all over. While yes there are lots of pistols, some are Squad Leader, Combat Medic, Bounty Hunter, Pistoleer and General use.

And I think that the DE-10 plays perfectly into the SW universe. All of the star wars weapons in the classic trilogy (and many of the ones from the new ones) are all based on real life pistols. It meets the flavor perfectly of adapting real world tech to the sci-fi realm. Look at Han's DL-44, its a very, very thinly disguised broom-handle mauser. Not to mention the the sterling SMG used for the E-11's as well as the DH-17's... wow this conversation reminds me of ones that used to go on a couple years ago, lol.

But to each their own.

Badger, I really hope they heed out cries on the de-10, lest we be stuck with the thinly disguised super-soaker (yes I know it was the only gun Lucas designed, but it doesn't mean it's still not ugly... unless you are wearing short shorts and have a lightning bolt emblazoned on your chest... everyone together now! FLASH! AAAaaa He'll save every one of us! )

100% with NaKitNa. The colt 45 and peacemaker is as star warsy as a mauser. And looking at our master shot, advanced quickdraw... i feel the de-10 is more in tune with a master pistoleer than any other weapon....

don't speak rifleman... rofl

yea lol

For those who just have to know (and for geeks like me) the DL-44 is a Model 1896 Mauser. One of the coolest thing about these guns were they came with a detachable stock that also served as a holster. Too bad they blew up the factory for them in WWII. The FWG5 does looks like a 1911.

I miss my old pre-CU 3.4 189-629 unpuped DE-10, now (2.36 453-884, 283 bDPS) it's not as good as an easy to make and access DL44 XT or FWG5 and obviously the DX2 and rep Blaster, the damage may be nice but the speed is alot slower than my other pistols plus it SHOULD be a master pistoleer's pride and glory weapon.

As for weapons looking like others, the DL44 looks like a modified C96, Bothan Bola like a MP41 Gewehr, FWG5 kinda like the 1911, quite a few of those copy of existing weapons so why does it matter about the DE-10 not looking starwarsy?
