Ive often found that when I reload I cant fire again unless I switch weapon and then switch back. Not sure whether it was the rebel or imp rifle.

Could i just metion that there is a bug with the imp DLT-20, the rebel disruptor reloads instantly and your ready to fire again, but for the imp sniper it takes about a minute to reload.

The EE-3 is nice weapon in both it's Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi incarnations. I'll sure I'll find some way of getting it in there at some point.

So I was right! ^^

By the way, what do you think of the X-45? I would love to see that in action.

Hmmm ya know what would be really cool is if you guys modeled a gun after Boba Fetts EE-3. But I think that IG-88s DLT-20a would do fine as an imperial sniper. A much better choice than what I had recommended.

IG-88 appears on the bridge of the Executor when Vader orders the bounty hunters to find the mellenium falcon.

IG-88 was in the movies?

Probably in Bespin or Jabba's palace and I just missed him...right?

Yeah, we really need to improve the look of that thing. Modelling it directly from IG-88's rifle would probably be the best bet.

Can't remember who modeled it , since it was done before I joined, but I agree, it is low poly/boxy/ugly.

The model is based off the SWBF E-17D http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:E- … _rifle.jpg , which is what we called it before we found the DLT-20a rifle http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DLT-20A_blaster_rifle , which was actually in the movies - most notably held by IG-88. The model was planned to at some stage be remade to better suit the DLT-20a , but, to this date, was never gotten round to.

In essence, the E17D and the DC-15x are SWBF creations, which we tried to keep to a minimum (rebel shotgun being the only other 1 I believe) , instead looking towards the movie - even if these weapons were only seen very briefly and even if it meant, in the case of the T-10 and MK-1, naming the weapons ourselves.

There are a couple of other rifles that could do with a model update(I planned on updating a couple myself before I left , but never got round to it) but such things are often a lower priority than maps and vehicles.

I don't know where you guys got the idea for the imperial sniper rifle but it looks kinda ugly. I would recommend a different model, such as the DC-15x based off the German MG-42 rifle of WWII. Also is there a wookipedia article on the sniper rifle you have on there? cause I couldn't find it anywhere. Just a suggestion. Awesome mod by the way. Star Wars FTW
