What ever happened to the weapons where you could actually "See" the scope and stocks on the weapons. Ihave some old weapons dating back to July and August that still show thier respective optionals. Thought it was extremely kewl and added a deffinate extra touch.. just curious as to where they went?

Some weapons still continue showing the unique scopes and barrels...not sure why not all of them do anymore... I liked the 'personalization' of the weapons.

It's still possible toshow thesewith handbuilt guns. I do them all the time as special orders for customers. I have a complete set of all the different carbines on the wall of my shop, all with stocks, scopes and barrels visible. Makes for nice conversation pieces

To actually do it, you need to handbuild the gun (no factory schemas) and pull each subcomponent you want to have show up on the final gunout of the crate (the subcomponents can be factory crafted). Then drag the uncrated subcomponent into the appropriate box and use create item after you're done experimenting. Viola! visable stocks and scopes!


I should also mention, these are only visable to you when equipped, your friends looking at you holding your nifty new gun will still see the same 'normal' looking carbine/rifle/pistol they always see. But at least you'll be cool looking in your own mind

True that you only see them on handbuilt guns...but for example, you won't see any of the special components on things like Scatter Pistol, Launcher Pistol, and you won't see barrels on any of the Carbines or Rifles...just to name a few.

but I guess that does figure it.. Most of the weapons i have were before people really had set up factories and the such, and almost everything was still hand built.

In beta you could see weapon add-ons that other players have but I think it was removed to just the users viewa few weeks after launch. I've heard that you can see others add-ons if yourun the game with the graphics maxed.The DEVs preach about making the game feel like star wars but they remove one of the few things that helps the cause.
