Hi... can anyone summarise for me which weapons are 'customisable', i.e. you can see any added stocks, scopes and barrels.
I'm only w/smith 0104 at the moment... so far the only 'customisable' weapons I have are the D18 & DL44 pistols. I'd like to know what other weapons can also be customised visibly.
I bought a laser carbine recently which looks remarkably like an AK-47 from far off... along with a white robe, black headwrap and an olive-green bandolier it makes me look very much the mujahidin - quite appropriate for Tatooine! It's weak and slow, and the HAM costs are appalling... but I carry it around for show when not fighting! Not one anti-arab comment made at me yet, either, which is a pleasant surprise.

I would also like to know this as well, I have seen FWG5's and DX2's with scopes on them, is this a random thing or is it somthing that a WS can add?

You know, I love this game, I really do, and I often get irritated with people who spend hours every day whining about every little bug and unintentional 'feature' of SWG.
But I seriously get the impression sometimes that the game was seriously "designed by committee"... this is a case in point. I bet most of the developers have no idea that this is the state of affairs, and that the reason this happens is that someone who was designing the game architecture for weapons didn't spend enough time with the art people, who didn't spend enough time with the graphics engine people... result: an irritating, non-game-breaking bug that will probably never ever get fixed.
The devs have spent loads of time and effort fostering developer / player relationships and ensuring a smooth flow of communication. It's wee 'features' like this that make me wonder if they hadn't better spend some time and effort fostering communications amongst themselves!!!
Aaaanyway. The real reason I was responding was to ask whether, in light of the answer to my first question,anyone other than myself can then see scopes etc on weapons that I built as 'display models' and stuck up on the wall of my shop? Or was this just a big waste of time and resources?

Off the top of my head DLT20 series rifles (one shows scope, one shows stock, I think), FWG5, Laser Carbine/Rifle, EE3 Carbine, Elite Carbine (really nice), T21, Bowcaster, E11 Carbine (scope only I think), DH17 snub nosed carbine (scope only). I recently tried a DX2 pistol but it seemed to no longer show scope, though I know for sure I used to be able to as I have one stuck to my shop display wall.
