Predictable Gun Strength Requirements
Badger:
Weapon strength requirements are a little bit unpredictable. For example, 6 Strength to fire a Tommy Gun, but only 4 Strength to fire a Sawnoff Shotgun. I'm not interested in the real life implications of firing these guns, but I am interested in consistency.
I vote we change to a very predictable system that directly corresponds to weapon type. I realise most weapons ingame don't have this problem, but there are a few weird anomalies that could do with being smoothed out.
3 ST - Conventional Pistols/Energy Pistols
4 ST - SMGs. (Including the Tommy and G11)
5 ST - Assault Rifles/Shotguns/Single Shot Rifles (Why do Pancors and Combat Shotguns require less strength than a CAWS, a basically identical weapon? WHO KNOWS.)
6 ST - Two-handed Energy Weapons (Although I will admit I don't get why weapons that shouldn't have recoil are hard to fire. Heavy internal components, I guess.)
7 ST - Big Guns
Thoughts?
As a side note, my wiki searching reminded me of the Alien Blaster/Phaser. One day I hope for the Alien Blaster and the Phaser to be introduced, renamed/redescribed and given sane requirements. Another laser pistol (the phaser) would be great, as would a low end plasma weapon (The Alien Blaster).
Cocain:
meh
would it improve gameplay? no
would it make it worse? no
meh... another neutral idea

Most weapons already follow this, but I agree that the Tommy Gun and those other odd weapons should also follow it, just so that everything would be the same.
Michaelh139:
LSW should stick to it's 6 str since it only fires 10 bullets per burst, whereas miniguns fire 30-40.
Other than that, I agree with the "smoothing out" as has been proposed.

But i hope you know that other SMGs are one handed weapons (oh looks like G11 is two handed too, but no matter) and Tommy Gun is two handed weapon.
So there is difference.
