What's the consensus on recycling models on weapons but making new ones? We all remember Wolfman's Wonderful World of Weapons, and in that he was specifically asking for weapons to use the same model as a counterpart. So one would think that making radically new weapons off of old models could be OK, maybe do some skin changes to color.
It's a great way to get new content out but cutting half the work.
For instance, what if we were to use a plasma cannon model but shoot fully auto blaster rounds in place of a Gallente HMG.
Would that be taboo because CCP would like to see distinct models for every weapon? I personally hope it's not off limits. While I get that to have a nice clean cut game you'd need separate models for each distinct weapon. But really there's no point in trying to cloak the reputation of the game. You might as well cut corners, save time & money to get us new content just with the same old box. I have nothing against it really. I'd rather have completely new function weapons with a familiar look.
It's the insides that count.
Just as long as the dice keep rollin, the hoes keep hoein, and the money keeps flowin!

I don't think CCP has any problem with using the same models already in use, I mean, just look at all the logistics suits that are using assault models. (Excluding the minlogi, the minassault is using the logi's model in that scenario)
I'd love to see things like this done.
SP Sinks? Fixed.

Wouldn't it be better to chop up existing models and stick them together with re skins and function changes?.
You could take parts off of the current guns and then actually make new ones.
What you suggest is the quick and lazy solution I reckon.
Be vigilant!, for there are those that remove the teabag BEFORE adding milk!.
This is unacceptable!.

Exactly. It wouldn't be better on CCP's end to do that because more work = more money. With this they don't even have to change the model just the function + firing animation.
