I think that's a terrible idea. Why would we want another energy AP1 weapon? We have one. We don't have a heat AP1, ok, but lets maybe consider a new damage type for pistoleers, eh? Rifle and Carbine are gaining more damage types by the spoonful, our class has lost a lot of it's unique quality in having a variety to choose from.

I think cold or blast would be ideal. Especially blast, since it has uses for base raids and PvE. As cool as a damage type as cold should be, it just isn't. Krayt's are vuln to it, in general it wouldn't be better than energy for pvp.






Actually, carbines only have three damage types: heat, energy, and acid (unless new damage types are coming that I don't know about.....)


I don't think anymore professions should have blast damage.....and especially not from a pistol (launcher pistol is obviously an exception because it.....launches......rockets......mini ones)


Pistoleers already have plenty of damage types (heat, energy, acid, stun, kinetic). I think our problem is that we just are not strong enough for those damage types to be of much use.

Rofl I completely forgot about the Bryar Pistol! I'd like to see that one in, the Westars should be included as only dual-wield pistols.






LOL this doesn't make any sense. Why would they be dual-wield only? Yes, Jango uses two in the movie but it's not like they're welded together and can't be separated or something...

I caught AotC on Sky last night. Regarding the killing of the Jedi on the balcony in the Geonosian arena, it was clear watching the film that if the Westar does have a high rate of fire Jango was suffering from lack of speed mods or he was capped at one second.also.


At no point did the gun display a fast rate of fire.


I suppose it could have been a multitude of reasons that Jedi died, including high rate of fire, perhaps the Jedi wasn't very good, or maybe he had been KD/Dizzied recently or was stunned or confused ( all moves the BH has in his repertoire ) but I suspect the main reason he died was because it was in the script.

Carbines are getting a new carb. Rifles have a new acid, kinetic and there is buzz the upcoming even newer rifle will be blast.

We used to have plenty of damage types, it made us unique. Now everyone is getting them. Sucks.

You're right, another energy AP1 pistol would be silly (forgot about the republic blaster, don't use it much because it sucks my action bar dry). Cold would be awesome! Cold AP1 would make me downright giddy.

Actually our kenetic lithanium rifle was changed to energy, and the new berserker rifle is heat, not blast.

Hmmm....Jedi and Bounty Hunters already go at eachother's throats.....How about giving pistoleer a new Plasma damage type?


I'd love to see what chaos would erupt on the forums if that happened!

Bryar Pistols would be more of a smuggler thing, they're suppose to be a modified cutoff rifle. As for MBHs and the WESTAR-34, I think it's bull! Jango was more of a Pistoleer then he was a BH. Just read the Dark Horse Comic “Star Wars: Jango Fett -- Open Seasons" and it becomes quite obvious. But I think you guys have some thing with the Master Pistoleer being able to use any kind of pistol he wants. After all, Master Pistoleers are masters of pistols. Probably will never happen because we’d become the new TK (TK being the new CH) as the favored class of loser power gamers (not saying that all TKs or CHs are power gamers, but a lot are).

oooh plasma maybe their won't be any resits or anything in the script to this so we can kill stuff in one hit, so we actually stand a chance against stuff the same way TKA's or rifleman do...


and we would finally be the uber class lol


would be a cool idea that we get a new damage type tho

Just cause Fett used them doesn't mean they're BH weapons. Han Solo used a DL44 does that make it a smuggler weapon? no. Give it to the pistoleers, BH's get apistol already and aHEAVY weapon. though it is called the LIGHT lighting cannon. Don't commandos get heavy weps? To me BH is just an upgraded marksman, they already get 2 new weapons, one they shouldn't even have really. Pistoleers get one gun that isn't very outstanding, give them the westar.

Still kinetic on my server, and I hadn't realised the other rifle was live already, do you have screenshots?

Bounty Hunters think its all about them... They think Mandalorian Armor should be only for bounty hunters...Mandalorians are mercenaries not bounty hunters... Wester blaster pistols were happened to be used by jango and bounty hunters think oooh that should only be used by bounty hunters....pretty funny stuff... Pistoleers own bounty hunters any day of the week.. boo-yah

It's because lots of BHs (not all) are 13 year old kids that have posters of Boba Fett on their wall and only play the game because they want to be like Boba or Jango or because they want a uber character that no one can hurt.
