I have a very simple request, seemingly simple to implement, that would make my day and might boost the experience for other riflemen.
I'm bothered by the fact that our powerhouse rifle, the gigantic, heavy armor-piercing, blast damage rifle gives off the same old,soft, high-pitched hum that a laser rifle gives off (I'm big into the atmosphere of the game, and was one of the big pushers forspecies-specific sounds and constant background music).
I don't think the T21 should be as high profile as other blast damage ranged weapons, since rifles in SWG are used in stealthy attacks.
But when I was watching A New Hope the other day, I saw Chewbacca firing the T21 rifle in the detention block of the death star with Han and Luke, and it sounded cool... sounded powerful.... and I think that's how it should sound in SWG.
I've heard talk about some work on sounds/music that will be done after the space expansion. It'd stink if something this simple had to wait that long, but if anyone else feels the same way, please respond to this post.
If others would like this small touch added to the rifleman experience, please help me get this to our correspondent's attention (whomever the new one is). I know there are probably bigger issues, but I was hoping this simple addition could be tagged on the end of the big to-do list.

T21's are energy damage. But I would like to here a more powerful sound when I fire it seeing as how it's the most biggest weapon in the game.

Ya. The T21 is massive...it should have the sound/aura to match.
Off-topic, but have you guys ever seen the shortest possible bothan female wielding a T21? It's a fun sight.

Amazing... I could've sworn I examineda T21at some point since launchand saw it as blast damage. Am I mistaken? was this ever the case?
If not, I'm wondering where I got the idea that it was blast.... I was convinced of it.
And I do clearly remember the spraystick being acid damage back in the day. What happened to that?

T-21: Blast
Spraystick: Acid
Tusken Rifle: Kinetic
I believe this is how things were very early in the game. I never got to see a Blast damage T-21 as the supposed change went in before they were readily available/affordable to me. Some say these rifles had these damage types at one point, some say they never had any of these. At this point, it's not really important- they are all Energy now. Since we got the DXR-6b rifle AP Acid damage, few care about the spraystick 'nerf' anymore 
Hope that helps ya

the T21 also makes an appearance used by the rebels in the trench at the battle of hoth, mounted on a tripod, and sounding quite cool (ESB)

I believe the Beta specs called for the T21 to be Blast damage, the Spraystickto be Acid, and Tusken to be Kinetic. SinceLaunch, however, all three havebeen energy damage.
the T-21 was blast early on but commandos and other peeps complained their butts off and the t-21 was nerfed in damage and their damage type was changed to energy.
the Tusken rifle was indeed kinetic until the patch before mounts came in, after that all tuskens became energy, this same patch also changed the spraystick as well, silently also, not many people noticed it until much later when the Nightsisters resists and such were changed and rifleman found out they couldnt kill certain ones anymore.
the devs claim that the tusken and spraystick were "always" energy but im here to tell you that this is an outright lie. when i first started this game back in early July, tusken rifles were available on the bazaar and had kinetic as its damage type but since the damage was so small hardly noone used them.

I was there too, and watched my Tusken change damage types mysteriously, it was kenetic. They changed all of them. For the life of me I do not understand, whomever was the crappy mental munchkin that decided this, why this had to be. I have heard the explination, mind you, but it makes no sense to have persons in your party that can do nothing to help in certain situations. This does not promote teamwork and should be re-thought. In my D&D games this gets a party killed, every time, by not having the fullest contribution form EVERYONE. What you basically do is have a colloection of soloest that cover each other, but totally diminish the party. Tell me again, why, should I even bother to be in a group, and try high-end content anyway. We will get to a place where a few key individuals determins the partys fate. This is notthe kind ofgame I want to play.

Excuse my lack of cropping skills, just did a quick copy/paste for comparison's sake, of my krayt T21
