One think that would make rifles even more fun would be if we could select a target, hit a key , and have it zoom in close to the target with crosshairs. Some games like the Medal of Honor series do it and man it makes being a rifleman actually feel like a rifleman or sniper. Hmm I wonder if it would even be possible with SWG? Just a thought I had.

What are some things you guys wish rifles could do ingame?

lol, there isn't much room to zoom in with a lousy 64m range. Besides, if you want a close up of your target, just take a shot, it'll be on you like white on rice in a matter of seconds.

As this is a turn based system and not a twitch system. That wouldn't do anything other than be a graphic. And considerint the 64m max range you'd be foolish to use a telescopic site. You'd be far better off with a dot site.

Maybe up in the corner, we could have another window, and when doing specific shots, (head shot for example) it could zoom into the enemy's head. This could be a cool little "How cool is that?" addition.

you can always /exa a target while you shoot it, and hit the button in the upper right corner that drops the text and zooms on the visual... enlarge it to your heart's content.
