Thread: Dev Question: Why does the Czerka Carbine need so many feed mechs?

Seems like a lot given the level and power of the weapon. Just my opinion, but no other carbine uses feed machs and the one that does uses 5. Only rocket launchers and t21s use more (ABPHs in those cases).


Is this intended? Makes it much harder to craft an enhanced czerka, given loot drops of 6 nyms/fangs/shards would seem to be rare nowadays.


Thanks,

Eawet

It's also probably intended so that a set of 6 Gorax bones is required to make a nice one.

Personally I've always found it a bit odd that no weapons have required more than 1 feed mechanism, seeing as so many require more than 1 power handler. Several carbines use more than 1 power handler, and the DXR6 (which seems to be inferior to the Czerka) requires 5. And seeing as a feed mech needs a lot less resources than a power handler, it's hardly an issue imho.

But it would be fun to know some of the reasoning behind these numbers, not just for the Czerka but for many of the other weapons as well.
