cant the field upgrade system be used?
maybe not for new weapons, but stuff like more ammo/batterypower.
you only get them from playing in a team and they wont be there next time you play.
from what i have seen more and more people seem to be starting to understand that teamplay is much better then solo play. mostly because they are unlock hungry, but it works

Yeah, it's called the support kit.

Well are we going to have a couple different versions of fire? I would really like to see a "Burst" option that fires like 15 shots VERY fast for something like jumping out of transports and laying cover fire...

E-11b used on the Battle for Endor

in ww1 the germans had a mp39, in world war2 they had the mp40, and mp44. This symbolizes that research and experiments advance a weapon. So the first e-11 was made as a standard rifle, then the empire research and experimented and found a much better rifle, the E-11B, thus ending the usage of the e-11, and the 'rise' of the e-11b.

No, I said that according to lore the E-11b has an advanced cooling system which allows for a higher rate of fire.

I then said that the standard E-11 is capable of this higher rate of fire, but is prone to overheating when it uses it. So it tends not to get used.

That said, we may well add an overheating feature to the weapon, after all if it fires at a rate that much faster even with advanced cooling systems it's bound to overheat at some point. I think the idea is that if you tried to use the higher rate of fire with a standard E-11 it would overheat and burn out it's systems a lot quicker than with the supercooled E-11b.

It's all a case of balancing between Star Wars lore, and the needs of balanced gameplay I guess.

According to lore it has an advanced cooling system that allows for the higher rate of fire...but this firing mode can't be used much due to overheating problems.

Um, what? That doesn't make sense. You just said it has an advanced cooling system, yet it overheats.

Yeah, sorry, forgot to add the overheating part. I believe it is meant to be more accurate too though. But for sake of gameplay balancing we'll probably make it less accurate if it has the higher rate of fire.

According to lore it has an advanced cooling system that allows for the higher rate of fire that apparrently the standard E-11 is capable of too, but this firing mode can't be used much due to overheating problems.

The result is that the E-11b is a much more expensive peice of kit which would explain why they aren't in wide circulation.

Alright, that sounds much better with lore AND gameplay balance. The way TALON put it, sounded like a suped up version, and if it is so much more powerful then why would the regular version even be distributed?

Makes more sense your way Ulversial.

I thought e11b was the one more prone to overheating due to it being uberglocked! it might be the other way round tho

anyways, one has faster rate of fire (leads to more damage) but has more spread and faster overheating, whereas the other one is slower but more accurate and not as prone to overheat.

if I'm wrong some lore guy please poke me.

So its just a better version? Why even have the first version then? For on capitol Ships or something?

Re: Unlocks

null@example.com (FSDev| TALON) — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 07:43:34 +0000

More accurate at long range and a higher rate of fire I believe.

Is the e-11b the sniper rifle? Or just more long ranged?
