Rifleman Archive

Hi all,

I do not know if this has been raised before please let me know if it has.

The other night I had a Star Wars Trilogy night with some friends and watched all 3. I noticed that the Jawa Ion Rifle is used to disable R2-D2. In Empire Strikes back and Ion Cannon is used to disable an entire Star Destroyer. This got me a thinking.

At the moment there is a lot of complaining about the AT-ST's in the game and how unbalanced they are. I was thinking should there be an added bonus to Rifleman using a Jawa Ion Rifle against AT-ST's. I was thinking that each time you hit an AT-ST with an Ion Cannon there is a possibilty that you disable the AT-ST for a short time. After all that is what the Ion Rifle was designed for. The chance might not be good to take into account the sizebut it should still be there as a possibility.

Any thoughts?

the Ion rifles does stun damage though... and the AT-ST has 100% stun resistance. It will all be better when commandos become useful.
