Basically, this post started cause I was annoyed, and since I spend most of my Forum time here in the Smuggler Forum, I thought I would post it here. Apparently I was wrong to do so.
Seeing as how many Smugglers use pistols (or would like to) I thought I'd give an FYI, I guesspeople like to flame *shrug* whatever
Edited because I continue to get people angry with me, so I will continue to remove all sacrasm and cynicism out of my posts.
And I promise to go to Church on Sundays.
And I'm joining the Peace Corps.
And I am giving blood to the Red Cross
And I will help old ladies cross the street
And I will always bow when I meet a Jedi char in game, because we all exist for them
And I will always be nice to the BHs, because they love our FD
And I will always tip Docs an extra 5k, because they make it possible for us to be semi-invincible
And I will.......etc

As much as I hate to say it, I think this is something that they HAVE to wait till after the CURB hits to implement. Just looking at the armor document it's very complicated and I can see how this is something to be looked at right after they get all of the weapons WORKING first.
A lot of people are failing to realize that they should really stop thinking about modifying combat the way it is now to fit the CURB as the devs aren't modifying, they're replacing it entirely!

yeah, but if they are re-writing combat, whyis it so hard to give pistoleers (Smugglers really) something fun. I dunno, I just got myhopes all up because of all the Corr-Posts about it in the Pistoleer Forum.

It's probably not the hardest thing to do, but the question is do they have the time to do it right? On top of rewriting combat entirely they also have to convert all of the existing items to post-update status and that has to be the hardest and most time consuming thing about this whole ordeal.

hmmm, maybe.
I guess I'd just like a reason to pull out my peashooter instead of my VK

This is not a Smuggler issue. Do not assume becasue you ar a Smuggle/pistoleer/whatever, that we all are. At this time I hate pistols. I have used my pistol once in over 6 months and do not care to use it. The Cu would hav eto make some major changes to force me to ever pick up any pistol skills other than required for Smuggler.
So it is only a pistoleers issue and not a (Smugglers really).

Um, dude, calm down. There are a lot of Triple Threats on this Forum, and yeah, so it's not a Smuggler issue per se. Still, by the amount of folks in here talking about their DE-10's, I thought they might like to see it.
Like I said, chill. It's not like a weaponsmith never posted here

I don't want dual wield pistols I just want one that does some damage/state/effect = to that of rifleman. I want balance not fancy pistol "tricks"
How will dual wield make the game any more fun? It's just a different graphic. What you expect if they did put this in we'd do twice the damage? 2 x 600 max damage with last ditch would be as bad as back in the day when commados hit for one hit kills with their flame throwers.
Game is changing very fast wait a see what happens before you start moaning about little detail in the graphics. Oh I would rather have them work on the smuggler revamp than dual wield pistols myself.

ok, agreed, I guess I had just gotten my hopes up for using 2 damges types at the same time.
Although, I am happy with the way the CURB news is going now, however, I am not happy about the fact that TH said Pistoleers are still not going to be equal to Carbineer or Rifleman. He said they will be a "Support" class. I guess I'll just we'll just have to wait.....

I'm really not too upset. It's something that will just look cool, and I DO want it. I just would rather they get the game working first.

Can we say dual weild equals abuse. If each gun gets a mod setting, and you can carry two guys you can cover two thirds of the armors
reguardless. That dosent sound fair. Unless your into letting bhs strap scatter pistols to their llcs ala aliens. Ductape I am selling ductape
here. Second way cool way to get around to hits by haveing two guns. Just hotbutton a command and one of the guns should hit it. I can
go on about how unfair or abuseing dueal weild weapons would be. Why the hell are you guys asking for this unless you just want to be a
FOTM.
Figures cloud posted this one of the guys who thinks smuggler should be skinned to buy pistoleer a new coat.
