I read about the enchanting and "hiepahred" for melee weapons and I got to thinking about marksmanship and pulse. Did some reading in my husbands Guns&ammo mags and came up with ideas for them.
Maybe weapn parts can be found like "hiepahred" in uper level boxes, and Mercs could use those parts to improve pulse and marksmanship weapons.
Advanced recoil system: Less'n recoil thus making aiming faster on following shots.
Advanced trigger system: Lessens trigger pull increasing accuaracy
Advanced focus lens or crystals for pulse weapons
Improved diodes or super chargers also for pulse
Improved targeting or sights also boosting accuracy
Things like this to enhance damage or give bonus to skill.
Techs could do pulse weapons and mercs do marksmanship.....just an idea. |

I understand marksmanship weapons are more powerful them most others. Were Hiepahred added to even the playing feild? If so I think it overshot the mark to overpowering any weapons enchanted with them.
This object slightly enhances one's stamina.
This object slightly enhances one's focus.
This object enhances one's blunt resistance.
This object enhances one's erosion resistance.
This object greatly enhances one's mental resistance.
This object enhances one's piercing resistance.
This object enhances one's slashing resistance.
This object provides its bearer an innate ability to breathe normally underwater.
This weapon's enchantment casts forth a blast of frost toward its target.
This weapon's enchantment casts forth a burst of flame toward its target.
This weapon's enchantment casts forth a sparl of electricity toward its target.
This weapon's enchantment casts forth a corrosive spray toward its target.
This weapon has been enchanted to inflict more grievous wounds upon the just.
This weapon has been enchanted to inflict more grievous wounds upon the wicked.
This weapon's weight has been reduced by an enchantment.
This weapon's enchantment bestows upon it a glowing field of light.
I have yet to see a marksmanship weapon that could do any of that!

Hiepahred were put in to be a cool, fun option. They weren't put in to screw over gun users. I haven't seen any evidence that gun users are jumping ship to get a blade or blunt now that hiepahred are in town, either.
To some degree it does serve a purpose of evening up the field a little, but it's also because Haelrahv has always followed the concept that magic and technology don't mix.
If not for the fact we're working on Live, I'm sure much more time would be devoted to upgrades for guns. _________________ "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." -- Plato

with the way HR skills are currently set up, i don't think it's possible (for me, at least), to jump ship on my current weapon skill and go for another one instead, unless a reallocation let me do so.
not that if i had a reallocation i'd go for something other than guns, though (although with exotic doing pretty much what guns do + giving me the chance to use hiephareds...).
that said, considering there's [currently] no such thing as missile range, the bonus of "hit hard and from a distance" that guns were meant to give isn't exactly there, which is why i think guns aren't appearing to have as much of a boon as they used to. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

I'm fixing engagement as an added bonus to the justice system. </spoiler>
Edit: More succinctly, I'm aiming to reinstate it for mobs (I'm the one that disabled it), since I think it still works for PvP. And some other various tweaks.
Also, I'm pretty sure hiepahreds can't be put on shoot-type exotic weapons. _________________ Mickey Brunner

i think so too, but exotic weapon users have the nice (unique?) boon of having both melee and missile weapons in that weapon set. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!
