TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 1040	Posted - 2014.05.01 16:49:00 - [1] - Quote I'm just going to post a few things on my mind that CCP seem to be rather quiet on *Weapon Variants* The older weapons have all been added to with Tactical/Breach/Burst//Assault variants Where newer weapons are being left behind... I'll make a point on the Rifles, The AR has variants... (Breach=RR) (Burst=CR) (Tactical=ScR) So where are the other variations ???? Are they a case of SOONtm or just never? - Tactical Combat/Rail rifles ??? - Burst Scrambler/Rail rifles ??? - Breach Combat/Scrambler rifles ??? The main one I want to see here, would be Tactical variants And I'll note sidearms are being left behind as well ..... ScP/SMG/FP have multiple variants but the BP/IP/MSMG get nothing.. And don't even get me started about the Plasma Cannon..... CCP it's way overdue we get some Plasma variations!!!!!! 'D1CK by name' 'D1CK by nature'

And don't even get me started about the Plasma Cannon..... CCP it's way overdue we get some Plasma variations!!!!!! Nice beginning to a possibly nice thread. I hope to always see BOTH. Variants in the older weaponry (even the ones that may be introduced later just to fill in the missing racials), and Newer weaponry that has NO varaiants. There's a lot of Lore in EVE, that is trying to filter down into Dust... and the progress of weaponry is the ONLY component we have in our game that can be ATTACHED to New Eden Lore. That's why I try to suggest that CCP keep NPC names or techno-logic terms on the names of our equipment as much as possible. The "complex sheild" module is not as in-Lore sounding as the "feroscale" or "Clarity Ward III" shield module, etc. I like that there is a "Militia Wars" period in our history that left a ton of reliable old weapons designed around "Breach" , "Assault", approaches to combat that the weapon corps may have had back then. I like that "New" weapons or devices introduced in 1.7 or 1.8 don't even have a BASIC version you can buy from the Malitia marketplace, much less have any Breach/Assault variant. In our Lore imagination we can say this gear is SO new, it wasn't even around in the Militia days,... and it has no breach/assault variant because today Lai Dai or Clarity Ward are too "advanced" to believe in those ole-grandfather approaches to attacking an enemy. So I hope they don't script up a 'Breach' variant Min Combat Rifle (Min weren't free to build their own technology back in the Militia War period, where they?)... and at the same time I love that there's an Old-Bessie Assualt AR and a Breach AR to choose from. Old Militia stuff: super reliable at what they claim to do, with lots of breach/assault versions. New Modern released stuff (like, yuck... the cloak fields): destructivess that's still deliberately a little sketchy and hard to verify in the field, and no assault or breach distinctions. But, I'm wierd like that... for example, I still read the storyline events in the Eve Gate World News every week. They're like the BBC News for New Eden!

Just some new numbers. It wouldn't be hard to implement and it's never bad to have extra weapons. +1000 for plasma cannon variants! Dooooooooo it! Nerdier than thou
Finn Colman Immortal Guides 19	Posted - 2014.05.01 20:17:00 - [7] - Quote Well, the MagSec SMG is meant to have a whole lot of possibility for modification that has already been taken advantage of by weapons manufacturers. Yet there are no modular parts available for it, nor are there any variants of it. It was said that weapon manufacturers had already made different optical sights, silencers, and other similar parts, yet we still don't have any of these. Weapon fitting would be kind of cool, but i don't really know if CCP has a problem with it, and I'm not sure about the interface that would be used.
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 1043	Posted - 2014.05.02 07:25:00 - [8] - Quote Now, if CCP could post a response after they cure their hangovers ... Seen as Fanfest is on chances are this will be ignored, but fear not! I will repeat until answered! And during the week I am going to re-post so any suggestions for weapon variants, post here So I can include them in next post ... o7 'D1CK by name' 'D1CK by nature'
