That’s a pretty weak intent IMO, why isn’t his just a reskin?

Hey,
I think that would be a heavy blaster rifle according to canon capabilities and should probably be advanced tech, too.
You might also want to add the stun setting. Makes it more versatile.

Is there even a DC-15 in the approved tech? I didnt see one. I didnt think it was a weak intent though I was just copying the official techs offered.

@Wit I think the new intent might be more satisfactory?

I dont believe it had a stun setting. Never saw one used anyhow. I know the DC-15S had one tho.

Dude I suggest you read the tech rules when it comes to range and all that jazz. Also your template is broken. I think you might have took out a [ at the /float_right thing.

Also your legality seems to be incomplete.

The tech rules should also explain what a reskin is and why your intent is still not enough justification for this to be a brand new tech submission.

With all due respect, This isnt a reskin. There is no DC-15 in the approved tech and this is a canon item (assuming Im understanding what the definition is for Canon in this context) This is not a Re-skin. Im actually trying to enter this into the approved tech.
Reskin:
"Re-Skins: This is a weapon, armor, or ship, or other tech that is functionally identical or completely inferior to an approved piece of tech, but has a different image or lore write-up. This category includes unique weapons and customized starships that are functionally identical to an approved item. You must provide a link to the item you are reskinning for easy comparison. *Canon items cannot be submitted as reskins.*"
I can and will, however fix the Intention and legality.

Idk if you took a look at the more modern approved weapons, but this is wildly out of line with them. You'll need to nerf it appropriately, which you can explain away by updating the lore blurb to reflect its current place in the galaxy as an antique, instead of just copy and pasting the wookiepedia description.

Ok, in that case what would you reccommend for the specs? Would it remain ADV tech or not?

The max specs for a rifle/repeater (according to the new tech rules) is 100 rounds and a range of 150 meters.

That's not really accurate either, but it is the baseline.

Im not here to write tech profiles for people, so you'll have to figure it out on your own some, or ask for help. But I'm not going to approve a weapon, even a canon one, thats closing in on two centuries old and is still better than everything else on the market.

I know that this is now advanced tech and as such is on hold until further notice, however I thought I would give my 2 cents.

I tried something similar to this last TL. I wanted to create something like the clone troopers had with that gatling gun type repeater. I tried to nerf it down to a version that fit the TL that was way before the clone wars to little to no luck. Mainly the range is where I came into problems. Seeing as your max range is 5 KILOMETERS..... that is insane even for some light lasers on a starfighter. Thats why I found the 150 meter standard more reasonable and little to no accuracy on full automatic. I too also tried to have like a 300 round capacity with ammo chains connecting the gun and ammo container warn on the back this too was way over the allowed 100 round capacity. This brings me to your description, it confuses me a bit, it says it contains 500 rounds but you have to change a power source every 50 rounds, why not just say the ammo capacity is 50 rounds per clip then?

Drop range from 5km to 500m, drop full auto drop ammo to 50 instead of 500 and see it more of a battle rifle. Aka a heavy hitting semi auto blaster


Trust me 500m is more than enough range and if you need more than 50 shots to kill some one you doing it wrong

So, before we keep going, your formatting needs to be fixed. Also, Advanced Tech is no longer a category, see the new Tech Rules.
