or some other nonsense, id like to bring up some things about the officer weapons status once the player market becomes reality here.

1. Once the player market becomes reality for dust 514, officer weapons will no longer be attainable from salvage, they have never been able to be bought in the artificial market with ISK.

2. Once the player market comes, the amount of officer weapons currently in existence (say about 1000 through he entire community) will be all there is, no more will ever be given or attained, the only way to get one would be to buy from another player.

3. Once the officer weapons get used up by combat players, they will no longer exist outside the collectors (im a collector) who wont sell their officer weapons away.

4. When the very last officer weapon is sold and used in combat, they will never be seen again.

So, i thought of something:

Make one of each officer weapon in our inventories a blueprint, BUT not a blueprint we can equipped into our dropsuits. Instead, make it a manufacturing blueprint like in EVE online, where blueprints are used to create amounts of equipment depending on the amount of resources available to the manufacturer.

Do the same to the officer weapons.

Ex: i have 50 Balac's Gar Assault Riffle, i would pay 100M ISK (or somewhere around there, it cant be too cheap to where everyone could do it, and it cant be too expensive to where rarely anyone would have them) for ONLY ONE of my officer ARs to become a blueprint, i cant pay another 100M to create another blueprint of the same weapon, that blueprint would then be stored in my blueprint inventory where i can keep it until i have a way to get recourses from EVE online and create my own supply of them and sell them at my price, however the amount able to be made at any given time should be limited so they would still be rare.. the other Balac's i would own would be sold off and used up in battle.

this can also be done for all the officer weapons in the players storage.

This way the officer weapons would still be a rarity but never cease to exist and people could be suppliers.

any thoughts? suggestions? trolling?

Id like to see officer weapons become rewards for "special" matches. An Eve player scans down an exploration site and loots it. big deal. but what if he could "contract" that site to Dust mercs to be further explored? We would go in and depending on whether the contract is private, there would be drones possibly defending the objective. If it were public then we would have to fight another team for it. the rewards for the winner would be officer gear for the dust guys, and deadspace mods for the Eve guy who contracted the exploration site. Dust guys could only have these types of matches if they are contracted by an Eve player or corp, which would enhance the Eve/Dust link. This way Officer gear stays rare, but doesnt disappear completely. Maybe CCP could use a drop rate mechanic where officer gear and deadspace mods dont always drop in those matches but you'd have a higher drop rate for getting them.
