"You may have noticed that greenmarine has said that he would like to
get away from the pistol-only approach in smuggler."
I pray for this to happen every day.

I think the smuggler pistol idea is cool, but I think, under the crack-induced coding of the devs, it will lead to more useless weapons. I mean how many people actually use a tangle pistol or SR combat pistol anymore? I think if they do the whole smuggler weapon thing it'll be simply a novelty we carry around as a badge of rank, with little, actual utility. I imagine even with smuggler pistols, smugglers will still be packing other 'elite' pistols like the geo, dx and --(Gasp)-- the de-10...and using them with more success...
But, if you give smugglers the ability to double/triple slice their own weapons--and of course, not being able to trade them to others--this would give the smugglers a little more firepower and probably earn some respect from those who underestimate our fighting abilities (At least in principle).

I agree that Smuggler / Rangers / Squad Leaders all need there own weapons.

I like the idea of super slices! If we were to get a "smuggler weapon" I would hope for something that deals out rare types of dmg, like cold!

...Put some unarmed attacks in Dirty Fightingline andmake the vibro knuckler a Smuggler certification (since TKA's are supposed to be UNARMED, anyhow, and to use something like brass knuckles is seen as kind of an underhanded method of fighting, which is the way of the smuggly). That'd be nifty

Some nice suggestions have been made regarding Smuggler specific weapons. Many were of the opinion that we do not want a specific weapon, as then every smuggler would be the same. We want diversity.
So, the best suggestion in my opinion, is allowing Smugglers to "tinker" with their favorite weapon, something of a Super-Slice, that would increase it's stats a bit, and possibly add some other benefits, like skill modifiers.
Super-Slice a 35% damage and a 35% speed slice with a random effect added. It then becomes untradable and you can not use the super-slice again until until that weapon is destroyed.
Being able to super-slice a dozen different weapons would be an unfair advantage having to pick 1 type would not be.

I like the "super-slice" idea... perhaps using specially crafted (resource expensive) tools we should be able to super-slice a weapon - for ourselves or for others. I want the profession to get away from pistols-only too.

Being able to super-slice all your pistols won't be unfair until they fix pistoleer. But, granted they fix Smuggler and Pistoleer in the next few publishes--like thats REALLY gonna happen--I think the one-time super-slice would probably be the best thing to give smugglers. Because, we all know that if they give us a Smuggler's only pistol its going to suck, compared at least to the elite pisotleer weapons.
What do people think about being able to slice/change damage type? Or would that drastically change the nature of the game? A one-time super slice on a pistol, just one pistol until it is destroyed and is untradable, that can grant damage/speed/damage-type changes? God, wouldn't that be nice...

and must maintain slice 4 box. so someone dont grind up to super slice a t-21 and bail out of smuggler to use it as a mrm.. if they drop box 4 slice, poof gun is unequippable
