Title: Weapon Suggestion

If there is a weapon that we do not provide in the stock that you think would be beneficial to the RPG, then state it here. We'd also appreciate if you provided information on the weapon aka a link from wookieepedia with the info and picture.

Tell me if this seems a bit unfair or trivial. But how about water proof lightsabers. Right now it doesn't seem like a very useful thing considering we don't have any watery worlds. Also it might seem trivial because someone might just say the lightsabers they buy are water proof. I don't know. If it's not singing for you guys whatever. It's just a suggestion.

Wookiepedia describes it as a blade made to operate underwater due to two crystals employing a bifurcating cyclical-ignition pulse.

Well there are two water-proof lightsabers...back in episode I, obi-wan's lightsaber wasn't waterproof and due that he left the energy one it was disabled when he was chased by droids. It's actually cut out the film, but the story remains...this is why he makes another lightsaber which waterproof and explains why it doesn't effect it during the fight with jango in the rain.

Second Kit Fisto had a lightsaber which could work underwater. I'm not entirely sure but it indeed has two crystals. Switching it on and off all the time...now indeed we don't need such lightsabers yet and I think after ep II certainly all lightsabers can't get effected by the water, but whether we'll have lightsabers to sell which operate in the water is yet to be determined once we have more members who become Jedi or Sith.

Here's a thought. Totally up to you, but how about if someone gets a lightsaber. Then after they get so powerful in the Force they would be skilled enough to go retrieve another crystal of the same color from some cave in the game. Then they would be able to implant that crystal into their lightsaber, and make it to where it works in water. I know I'm going a little off the beaten track of weapon suggestions, and I know this wouldn't serve any purpose until we get more force users in the game but I just thought I'd run it by you guys.

Well I don't see a problem to get such a saber in the first place, but it only serves for people who want to fight underwater so they imo don't have to be that strong in the Force to get another crystal to build it...I really have no problem with such a lightsaber. And at this moment there is already one underwaterworld, being gunga city. If it's really needed then we can surely give members a chance to get it, note for people who haven't seen such a lightsaber in action. The blade is different than that of a normal lightsaber. It flickers very fast instead of giving one steady beam as a blade.

What about a simple, normal, non-vibro knife or sword, or similar? A stealth character would love that (plus new characters who need a secondary weapon, but can't afford any of the listed).
