[SWC] Suggestions for future releases

[Peralta]

I agree on the BX droids, they're supposed to be commando droids, so de facto, they should be agile, accurate and heavily armed

i've just had a sudden brainstorm regarding the animations for the different weapons! Why not for some common weapons, such as the E-11, create multiple versions of the gun but with different animantions. Then when a battle starts have stormtroopers (for example) start with a random chance of having each gun, varying the animations used in larger battles (could have crouching shooting, from the hip and standing up aiming!) What do you guys think?

I thought about that before, but I try to not suggest a lot of things. Yes, of course it would be great.

Hmm, that would be pretty easy to do.   I thought about adding multiple items and allowing the player to toggle it like we can do with the throwing lightsabers.   But if I did that I'd probably have to add the description to the name (i.e A-280 w/ crouch) or an extra text description at the bottom of the item, so you knew which one you were using.   I might be able to have it so it randomly picks an animation, but that might annoy players if they want a weapon that always crouches or never crouches, etc.  So I think alternate versions is probably the best.   Its a little bit of a pain to code, so maybe I'll just start with the e11, a280, a295, and maybe a few others for right now.

Apparently, there's a maximum ammount of items in MnB, and although it's pretty high, I suggest we focus on new items in stead of variations on items

I see what you're saying but no one's really creating that many new items... and currently with the last version the number stands at 848 items. Now i'm not sure what the maximum limit for number of items is but i don't think 20 or so new items that take into account some of the most common guns is going to be a problem

Edit: Also would it be worth giving some pistols the fire from the hip animation as well ie the rebel fleet troopers?

The rebel fleet troopers' weapons should be used as both, pistols and rifles. I would give their weapons all animations (the pistol one and the rifle ones) except for the 'from the hip' one. I've neever seen a fleet trooper firing from the hip...

The maximum is 916 items (according to the rest of the PoP team, and I believe them when they say they've been having some problems with it )

Another droid suggestion: IG Lancer Droids

I know they're from the 2003 CW series, but I'm just a big fan of droids these days

Probably gonna re-do all textures of the R-series droids today (for personal use first, if it works out, I'll send a pm to the creator asking if it can be implemented)

Oh, and the 3PO droids could use a better shader, something that gives them a shine of sorts

There were B1, B2, HK and Ig-88 droids during the GCW, but no ig-lancers. Those were made during the start of the CW and disappeared with the end of them.

I will repeat my previous statement: technology dissappears really slowly in a setting as big as a galaxy, stuff that was new  years ago, ccan still be found today (maybe at a junk yard r something, but still).

This goes for all technology, but military stuff has an even longer PLC (Product Life Cicle)

It does, but only if it's useful. B1 droids can stand by theirselves, but IG-bikers need really big numbers to be effective. ANd large numbers of those need an important maintenance, somth only the Empire (in this period) could afford. I would only say a 'well' if it was an add-on for the droid factory.

What about if they were a minifaction, a renegade faction leaded by the bounty hunter...whats his name??
The one that obi wan kenobi made explode.

NO That would be completely uncanon. Durge died, and there was no army left of droid bikers.

The guy lived for over 2.000 years and was finally launched into a star by Anakin, if I'm not mistaken.

Please leave him dead
