It has been argued many times previously.  Please take time to read those previous arguments.

The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

this thread is like a zombie you know...you keep shooting it and you think it\'s dead to find out it keeps coming alive again. Maybe we need more firepower...

OOC: I can understand the reasoning behind guns I just do not belive they belong in this setting just yet.

Hey, I read through the entire thread before I posted, I was replying to Myrtl, I believe that guns should only be implemented further along PS?s lifespan. Either by players researching new technology (see researching new technology thread) or by the devs once they believe the time is right.

I agree with you totally cyberchu but since there are actually quite a number of people who don\'t want guns in this game, it just doesn\'t matter to me, besides I wouldn\'t be using guns anyways, you know me by now (I use my combat gloves, or anything handworn for that matter.)

edit: :) thanks

Kuiper Edit:

TO
besides I wouldn\'t be using guns

Im ok with not using guns, i just think they would add more choice and people who dont like them dont have to use them. One thing i hate with some games is when everyone is the same....

I actually like the image of the Lemur holding that gun. I was very surprised that it didn\'t even look out of place there. However, Lemurs look very much like aristocrats, which obviously would be using guns. He looks like just having shot someone in a duel. :)
That said, there is no need to post it more than once, and you can always edit the previous posts to change the link to an embedded image. Unless you manage it to get the gun fit in the paw of an Enki or a Kran without looking out of place. ;)

Anyway, I am fine with guns in PS, if they are primitive ones as proposed. I think they are some sort of surprise weapon, as they can be carried and hidden easily. Actually, to mitigate the reloading problem, you might carry several (4 or even more) guns that you use and drop, to pick them up and reload after the battle.

I\'m all for variety, and I don\'t see it ruining the game. I, however, think that they should be limited to pistol-like devices, no rifles. Rifles remind me of these western movies, but pistols I see as dueling weapons of the nobles, and as merchants weapons.

@ Cirque: this most likely is the very thread you posted in. It was created 09.05.2003, 16:15 by Kuiper7986. :)
