iain_b Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Does anyone else feel a little silly running around, all big and armored, with just a little teeny blaster in our hand? Boba Fett used a blaster rifle, a BlasTech EE-3, why can't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digestives Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Not with a retractable blade, rockets, flamethrower and railgun I don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain_b Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Digestives are delicious. I love the caramels but they aren't available in the states, unless you find an importer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddieb Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Not I. I'm too busy shooting flames, missiles, rail shots, big flame bursts, launching myself across a room, and punching people in the face powered by rockets to notice the itty-bitty pistol in my hand.

NomineImperator Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I always figured for Powertechs the pistol is there for cool cut-scene style execution double-taps to the back of the head rather than any practical use. I have everything else for a real fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadempty Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 No. Simply b/c the blaster is a filler. I find myself using rocket punch, flame blast, railshot more than the blaster so I feel like a true BH using different tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gereon Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 No. Give me a blaster that fires from my right arm (like railshot) and i can make it even whitout that little pistol Give the pistols to the mercs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durzaka Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 No. Give me a blaster that fires from my right arm (like railshot) and i can make it even whitout that little pistol Give the pistols to the mercs As a Merc, ive really only got 2 skills (i can recall immediately) that use my pistol. Unload and, wait thats all i can remember. Then we have 4 different types of missiles, explosive dart and rail shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazthemad Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 You need to find a bigger gun. The early pistols are kinda pathetic, but I got a freakin mammoth pistol as a quest reward on Taris. Looking ahead, there are some serious hand cannons out there. So for those of you who are anxious about not having a big gun, just you wait.

Dekun Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Not at all. If anything, I think it looks better and is more realistic - considering the left forearm holds a Rocket Launcher, Rail-gun, and Flamethrower. Also, this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connection Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I would love for some bigger weaponry, but as they say, it's not the size of your weapon but how you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakku Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I thought I might at first, but once I saw we tanked mostly with cool gadgets, and only about 20% blaster involved, I didn't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussk_Verden Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yeah I do, I was really hoping that we could get blaster rifles once we became a powertech and I was under the impression that we could get them. Blaster rifles are just plain cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshPrime Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I prefer a single blaster, I probably wouldn't enjoy the class as much if they made use switch to something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baalzamon Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 2 salmon filets (approx. 1/2 lb each) olive oil tartar sauce A quick and easy dish that requires very little effort. It works best with fresh salmon purchased the same day you plan to eat it. Put salmon filets in a glass baking dish. Drizzle a little olive oil over the filets and flip them over a couple of times to spread the oil and get a little oil on the bottom of the baking dish and the under side of the filets. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-30 minutes depending on the thickness of the filets. You want them to be cooked until they start to flake and become opaque inside, but don't dry them out. Serve with tartar sauce and carrot salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyT Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I honestly just feel retarded when tanking that I basically have no defensive animation except dodge. So basically I'm soaking damage at 3 yard range with just a blaster and just taking hit for hit, kinda lame. Just gimmeh a virtual shield popping out of my flamethrower hand or whatever for looks :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stig Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Does anyone else feel a little silly running around, all big and armored, with just a little teeny blaster in our hand? Boba Fett used a blaster rifle, a BlasTech EE-3, why can't we? I got me a sexy custom made six shooter. Most of my time I spend punching people in the face anyway, so ... IDK what kind of bolts my gun fires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domone Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I feel silly with it. I mean I don't mind having a blaster if it is at least threatening i mean the stuff I'm using looks like a pea shooter.. the person who mentioned you get some pretty big guns/handcannons later on do you have a name of any of them? wouldn't mind seeing a picture.

LiquorQ Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I wish we used a rifle or something. I do honestly feel silly single wielding a pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pindrgnx Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 It so cool though man! Nothing manlier (sp?) than a single blaster pistol, nor more star wars iconic. Rifles are for rank and file troops, not heroes like us! Or I guess villians...haha...ha..HA....MUWHAHAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
