      Alright, this has most likely been brought up numerous times and stuff. But I thought I should toss this up, perhaps we should increase the durability of made-holsters, and add the ability to set wearlocs for them. I’d love to have a harness, not a holster carrying a rifle. Though A New Hope sorta gave us a weird look at it, where the Stormtroopers had small holsters with their rifle.

      Anyway, I was just wondering, perhaps those who want to RP having a larger rifle then E-11’s should be able to have a harness for them. It might be tricky to do, with all the wealocs we have but it’s just an idea.

      Hm. The "draw" command would have to be changed if that was implemented. The command currently doesn’t specify where exactly you’re drawing your weapon [i:39r0zm8f]from[/i:39r0zm8f], which is fine, since you can currently only draw it from one place.

      To be fair, the E-11s the Stormtrooper contingent in ANH were carbines (not very much larger than your average combat pistol in EU anyways), not rifles.

      That’s also been brought up before. We should’ve just tracked down and bumped the old thread.

      Smuggler holster, doesn’t shown when drawn.

      There you go! <!– s:P –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!– s:P –>

      You can, in theory/at the discretion of others present, RP drawing a weapon from anywhere within reason.

      While the &quot;smuggler holster&quot; idea is about as original as the &quot;non-waist holster&quot; idea is…

      +1 to the RP idea. It’s common enough for Jedi to have customized &quot;drawmotes.&quot; I had one both as Jhalyn (a regular, from-the-waist draw) and as Vilhar (a badass draw involving the lightsaber and a cut-down E-11 from armpit slings, bodyguard style… calm down, kids, it wasn’t a WORKING blaster–just a hold item).

      Nobody cares how &quot;original&quot; or &quot;unoriginal&quot; their ideas are RJ, stop being an idiot. We all know a lot of ideas have circulated more times than one of Daljo’s females.

      Gen’lore &gt; Vilhar, even without a drawmote.

      I’m not even going to address your idiotic attempts to stroke your own fragile ego.
      As for the &quot;creative&quot; bit, it DOES matter when this entire thread has been done at least once, likely twice or more. The original premise, the modifications to said premise, the arguments against the original idea… all of them have been suggested before.

      If it’s not constructive criticism, it isn’t helping. Most ideas have been suggested before, it’s an old mud, it happens. You pointing it out for those oblivious to the blatantly obvious doesn’t help get the ideas anywhere further.

      While the sentiment against winning is mostly true (I love to argue), if you’d notice the few times I’ve gotten annoyed for necroposting, it’s always been somebody bumping a months-old topic to say &quot;I like this,&quot; etc. If you’re going to necropost to add something legitimate to the thread, go right ahead; that’s a GOOD thing.

      I’ve brought this up a few times in the past, I admit. At least once before, anyway.

      The fact of the matter is, that Holster could be tweaked to be so much more interesting. I stated that I think we should have wearlocs for holsters. Not that it should be changed in any shape or form. I also stated that -created- holsters shouldn’t break after two hits, IE increasing their durability.

      Now, not many people care. I know. They all want their lorrdian holsters, the hell with makeholster. Stats &gt; Customization, always. Though with more materials that have additional stats added aside from the Lorrdian holsters, to be made into custom holsters, it would become a moot point. I honestly dislike the fact that most engineered equipment breaks to much more quickly then bought things that add stats for one reason or another, engineered things should be about the same with bought things. Stats or no. All I’m saying is that I think we should have stronger, customizable holsters that you can wear anywhere. Shoulder, thigh, ankle, armpit, worn about etc.
