Acklay Bones need to have a SAC modifier on them as they are currently useless.
i think they just didn't get the upgrade that krayt tissue did. i plan on discussing a balance pass for this with some of the new loot coming out...
While on #1 themepark issues, how about updating the modified republic and enhance E11 schematics to be BETTER than the standards, and not WORSE?
First and foremost should be to STOP Nymfolk from dropping a ton of zero-SAC ALRs! That WAS one of my best selling and highest priced weapons before the flood from Lok started. Unique quest weapons from Kashyyyk are one thing. Simple NPCs dropping craftable weapons we can't touch is just wrong and criminal.
Adjustment of some of the schematic resource requirements would be good too. The Geo blaster, for instance, is just WAY out of linefor a CL 30 pistol. Or make it rock like a rare limited-use schematic drop SHOULD be. Generally, they need to go back and look at all the non-Kashyyyk, non-Avatar platform schematics and have them make sense.
Another possibility is getting "requisition slips" to take to a faction recruiter and getting a weapon choice. This choice should include limited use schematics. The player can then choose a stock weapon, a weapon modification (slicing), or take the schematic for sale/use. To me, that's the best of all worlds. The player could even sell the requisition, and let the buyer decide.

I would like to see Theme Park loot changed to Powerups or Smuggler drops. The player should be able to benefit from his own loot, rather than having no choice but to sell it. (And the Smugglers do need a little love at this point, too.)

Oooo, I really like that requisition slip idea. That's the best of all worlds. They'd have to put in a neutral "faction" person for non-aligned players, but otherwise I think it would work great.

you can't make Imperial themepark loot smuggler drops because being a smuggler is against the law, and there would be a huge outcry from the imperial side if only rebel and neutral themeparks dropped smuggler loot.

which nymfolk are dropping these the most? i need for QA to be able to reproduce this before we can get a fix on it. and i assume when you say "nymfolk" you are talking about Nyms from Lok, correct?
Yes, Nymfolk on Lok. Canyon Corsairs and Nym's Boys. I'll try and get the exact folks, but some even as low as CL 16 have been dropping these ALRs.
But, really, they shouldn't have any CL 54 or Master Level craftable weapons appear in the loot tables AT ALL. Just take 'em out of there. It's totally unfair to crafters to drop those.
Checked with the folks tonite and it's Canyon Corsairs dropping the ALRs. Some are 96 SAC, some are zero SAC, all are very high damage, average speed. This is the top rifle we can craft, and they're flooding out of Lok. One of my guys has 5 in his house and even destroyed some to make space. This just really isn't right. I suspect they meant for them to drop the Light Laser, and the loot tables may only say Laser Rifle which, post-CU, gets converted into an Adv Laser. Whatever's going on, let's try and get it stopped before nobody needs to buy rifles anymore. It doesn't require a Master cert. That's for the T21 which, because of the resources required, isn't as good as the Adv Laser.

/reported in full
Thanx for reporting this, Mor-Dan. Sorry, I've been so depressed by the state of the game recently I haven't even checked the forums much. 
I thank you for continuing to support us as best you can. Obviously, we now need to push this new experimentation bug to the top of the pile, so everything else gets moved down. It's just so sad what's happening to the game.

i actually thought i had this one figured out until the Nak'tra knife. every CL54 weapon schematic (that i remember) is 36 complexity. every CL50, save the Nak'tra knife, is complexity 34. the Nak'tra is CL40. to me this would be an acceptable thing if were absolutely consistent (knowing CL by the complexity). what do you guys think about that?
If they can code an annoying pop up everytime you buy a contianer from a vendor, they can code in the cl of a weapon. Theres NO reason this sort of information isnt there.
