Come the CU, we will all be feeling a massive wound when our uber weapons are destroyed by a socialistic equalizing of our characters. To stem this tide of uselessness and the fact that thousands upon thousands of weapons will be destroyed on patch day to reclaim our precious ADKs, i propose the following measures:
The following Weapons be given an advanced model with the same skin, but different damage caps, appropriate and in line with other master level weapons:
DXR-6b
Berserker Rifle
Jawa Ion Rifle
FWG-5
Geonosian Sonic Blaster
Launcher Pistol
Laser Carbine
Long Vibro Axe(returned to pikeman)
Scythe
Executioner's Hack
Gaderiffi Baton
Without this change to allow our current weapons to convert to master level weapon stats, we are doomed to homogenous weapon use. everyone will use the same weapons because of their damage range, as well we'll be losing some of our most treasured and signature weapons. If you have more to add to this list, please do.
Changes to experimentation
To prevent the prolireration of excessively powerful weapons, create a damage cap of 1500, but allow a 12-point weaponsmith's off the assembly line, non enhanced weapons to reach 1000 damage after slice(not a hard cap, just what should be a reachable range). items such as acklay bones, krayt tissue, and gorax shardsshould still give your weapons a significantlybetter damage range, with the best ever looted weapon components and a perfect slice we'll still be falling a little short of that hard cap area, but still significantly better than the run of the mill weapons of the general, non-enhanced weapon population.
The preservation of the use of good enhancers and good slices as well as additional master level weapons of our old favorites which will soon be relegated to lowly combat grinding, no matter how awesome they may be now, will preserve the diversity we currently have in our weapon choices, and hopefully improve them.
bootstrapping all professions to these 1 or 2 master level weapons is a travesty and prevents people from using the weapons they enjoy now, have fought long to achieve, or scrimped hard to afford, which is unfair to everyone with such a weapon.
Save the Weapons!

An idea:
quit SWG and become a RL politician or a RL religious leader!
But seriously I dont see it that harsh, its still in testing and not set in stone. I dont agree on uber weapons being destroyed.
