Rifleman Archive

Ok well I'm a Star Wars buff, some players are not as I've come to see playing SWG. I'm going TKA right now but im very excited to supplement hte profession with the Rifleman. Why? The T-21. There is a lot of ranting over all sorts of the blasters in game, but if the developers have done anything right, you will be mind boggled by the T-21. If for anyone reason what I say doesn't get through enough, heresan actual quote about one of the coolest rifles in SW...

"One thing I will say about this weapon, is that at short-range, I've
seen thermal detonators do less damage. A group of four very nasty Imperial
Storm-Commandos were coming down the main level stairway towards myself and the
few of us Rebels that were still alive. Well, I took the liberty of crawling
on top of the nearby support rail and as they walked down, I let the weapon
unload until I was dry. In the end, I couldn't tell what piece belonged to what
Storm-Commando. It was a bad day that ended well enough to make this statement."
- Jason Bourne (Retired New Republic SpecOps)

This rifle has had its power toned down to just beneath actual artillery rifles such as the E-Web, so it can be portable and mobile, it's not the most long range rifle in all of the SW EU, but a lot of top marksman will find they do enough damage when the target is far off and all Rifleman are worried "What about when the target closes in", if the Devs did the T-21 right you wont, because the things a beast at close range as opposed to long range. Go figure. But be happy, im certain by the time I hit Master TKA and go for Rifleman these will already be circulating. Happy hunting!

Really? sigh....

It's has a -70 penalty to hit at short range - but iI guess you know best.

The T-21 is an awsome weapon. A Rifleman is never good at short range. A rifleman is a sniper, not a pistoleer. T-21 does awsome dmg, but fires at a slow rate. Wich is fine, you can get it sliced hoping for a speed increase, and use speed power ups.

But If you miss with the T-21, and they spot you, I sure hope you havea back up.

I thought it seemed a bitodd that the best rifle available seems to be the Star Wars equivalent (according to the paper based RPG game) of a light machine gun.

Surely something like the Merr-Sonn SX-451 Heavy Sniper Rifle would be more suitable. Loads of info at this webby http://www.swtft.com/on weps and stuff.. SWG really does have a limited number of items currently.. I hope more gets adding once the more pressing issue of server stability and class balancing gets sorted.. *cough*CH Nerf*cough*
