What does everyone think about having a pistol holster that you can equip instead of a belt or psg that allows you to switch weapons much faster than que? you could also add a a shoulder holster that would add a few more pistols to the mix. Of course the shoulder holster would replace a bandaleer or pack though. upsides and downsides to it. so you could switch between say 4 guns very fast and have it as a mod built into master pistoleer. or maybe just have it equippable by a master.
I think the idea could be cool especially if it makes guns visible on your side or shoulder holster.

Things such as holsters have been asked for by the pistoleer community for over a year now actually. The devs have much higher priorities atm though such as fixing this broken game.

Fixed. 
Seriously, though, I believe holsters were part of the game back in beta. I remember one of those 360 degrees pics of a Bothan with them equipped, I'll see if I can find it.

Yeh, I also remember seeing that. I don't think it's an art issue thing, given that they already had them in the game... it's more likely a design issue. How do they implement them with the inventory system? How much extra do they do with them, such as differing equiping times, getting weapons out of the inventory and into the holster, having people with weapons out of holsters/shoulder straps be stopped and questioned or TEF'd by local law enforcement NPCs etc... the list goes on.
I'd love to see them in game, especially if they make them into something useful and part of the game as a whole instead of just eye candy. It, along with a few hundered other good ideas are on the shelf, waiting to be looked at again some day in the future, once all the main issues facing the game are done and dusted....

Yes, it was part of our "top pistoleer issues" back in August of '03. If you look at my responses to LordMaxx's dual wielding question, I have the devs comments on holsters and LordMaxx has a bit more on it as well.

Personally, I'd be fine with them not having any game value, and simply being something I could wear and sling my pistol, just for looks....

Tripple that. Sure there could be some gameplay implications from holsters, but we could at least have it for looks at first. I'd just rather see my pistol in a holster on my side than in my hand.

Holsters are a great idea..i mean one of our titles is "Gunslingger" how can you sling a gun in your inventory?
