Hi, I'm a rifleman and our weapon damages are a bit of a concern to me. Well as of a good long time ago 2 of our guns were broken and turned to energy when they were really supposed to be something different; tusken rifle should be kinetic and spraystick should be acid. Well recently a developer told our correspondent that tusken rifles were never kinetic so the damage type shouldn't be changed. Well even though there is enough proof in a variety of websites as well as just the word of many many characters but a screenshot of an old tusken would pretty much cinch it. Just curious if any of you veteran smiths have some.
Thanks for your time.

I am thinking ever since they added the damage types and armor penetration values to the weapon descriptions that player made Tusken rifles have read as energy weapons. My personal weapon museum of all crafted weapons was created before they listed the changes and the Tusken on that wall reads as energy. The only place the Tusken read as kinetic was from the Prima guide. Most people believed it to have been kinetic damage, and by all rights it should be, but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't been.

It was retroactive, like the T21 armor piercing change - all Tuskens started as AR1 kinetic, switched to AR0 energy in August, then to AR1 energy some time later.

Yes, I know that they used to be kinetic. I was here since day 2 and looted a kinetic tusken rifle off of some random thug and thought it was the best weapon in the world, god I miss those days
, so I do know that it was kinetic but this was a long long time ago when it got swapped to energy. We've been bugging the dev's to fix it since then and just got a response from Keldarin today via klawlenga saying that they never were kinetic according to the game's logs. If it was a retroactive change so that all the weapons would become energy then it seems like we're screwed since we can't truly disprove them beyond just about every beginner rifleman swearing it but I figure you guys would likely have a couple of your first crafted weapons as memento's and one of them might be an old kinetic tusken. Heh I know I have a bunch of wierd old stuff in my bank vault but sadly no guns beyond a scout blaster that got me from marksman to smuggler.

I just checked the SWGcenter.com sight and came acrossed this. Granted, its a Tusken King, but it was still kinetic. I will check for those pics tonight.

Also, read just below in the comments here. They even mention it as kinetic last month.
