Well see this is where we have a split. Yes, I would like a gun holster that I can actually equip my blaster into but quite frankly I would be equaly as happy with a gun holster with a blaster built into it that is just for show.
You wear pants that have no function, belts, boots, gloves, shirts, jackets etc etc there is no reason why they couldn't add a non-functioning gun holster belt that is just "for looks" until at somepoint in the future they can make them work.
This is one of those occasions where things are not being added because of a minority of people saying "if i cant use a holster..then why would i want it?"
I agree. at least just give us the holster as clothing...maybe with sockets (it'd be as useful as any other belt then)...then in another 5 years make them actually "work."
I have thought of a new idea.
Only allow Master elite Professions to have holsters and weapon slings. The E11 Mark II can fit into a holster for the Carbineer. The squadleader can have their one Pistol and the Pistoleer can have about 3 - 4 holsters total for the Master Pistoleer weapons. This would allow the devs to olny need to have art work for a few weapons instead of every single weapon.
I would like to see master level rilfes/bh/squadleader/Commando have a sling so one could put them on their back. I am not sure what sword, TKM, Pike, Fencer would do........hell they are not very Star Wars, so they can get a shield to run around with a pointy hat with stars on it.
