Hey folks.. this post came to be, solely to entertain a bored mind (the eternal dread of being at work 
)
)Now, as the title suggests, I am busy busy wondering how these here new weaps will fare, once introduced to the game. The first question on my, and indeed many, mind(s) is, will they purely be additional, or will they replace some or all of the currect weaponry. My guess is the former.
Now this leads on to my real thought... will it be like it is now, where WS can make tons of different weapons, but only truly 10 out of the 50 sells for reasons apart from collectors wanting to own everything. I mean, after the novelty of new weapons wears off, do you guys think the Devs have granted us the ability to actually craft a wide range of equally popular weapons. Of course some things are going to be a bit more powerful than others, but what I mean is... SG82 for instance... sure I sell one every month or so. By far not enough to spur me to maintain and improve on them constantly. I basically craft 10, and know I am safe for a long time.
Hit me with some thoughts plz...

I like eating pie
Theres the random comments that flurry makes you do... ok, well I have no idea, personally I hope that there is still a market for smiths who dont have huge amounts of time. I've spent the greater part of a week crafting about 500 weapons getting them sliced to stock in 1 big go, so I'm not sure I could do to well if we have to make 100 different weapons.

I certainly see your point... But try turning it 180... it would be a good chance to try and partner up with people... If you can't handle it yourself, delegate. Melee for one, ranged for another... carbs, rifles twohanded for one, pistols, sword etc for another.. I dunno.. I find it an interesting prospect. I just want the weapons all to be in demand. Perhaps some more than others, but certainly not only have one or two high powered weapons in each category, and let the rest be worthless...

Keep in mind......They showed pictures of the new weapons, but they never stated how to get the schematics.
Are they going to be loot Schematics or available as generic weapons?
That is going to be the determining factor.

It'd be nice if the wookiee weapons were a RIS type quest on Kashyyyk.

True... but please please please let it be non combat then. By all means, toss me a bucketload of puzzles and stuff I have to solved, but I'd hate for it to be combat related, like DE10, Executioner's Hack, Scythe and Berserker rifles are at the moment. For a guy that only has 0010 TK because he is sick and tired of being hassled on factory and harvestor runs, getting a berserker rifle is pretty darn hard, unless he's got a healthy wallet going. RIS type quest is an excellent idea. At least give us like 100 uses on it, before we have to go and "recharge" the quest or something....
And yes, whether they are loot or static will of course very much be a factor.
