Heavy weapons and mods

By MagusRogue, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Soo...... i have a Heavy hired gun running around with the so beautiful sidewinder minigun (mostly for aesthetics, but it still is a pretty deadly gun). one thing im running into tho is even though the beast has 4 hard points, there seems to be no mods that are good for it, or let alone will work. most are for rifles (which its not) or Ranged (heavy) weapons (its a gunnery weapon). pretty much all it can take is a scope, a weapon harness, and superior customization. Thats it. Unless im missing something? would really like to see if there's any mods out there that will work with my gunner-from-hell out there.

And you need it to be able to do more because?......... :huh:

Put a laser sight on it.

I ran into this before. Gene-lock, multi-optic sight, telescopic optical sight, weapon harnass and superior weapon customization are all that you can do with RAW. However, thats not to say your Outlaw Tech in your party (or one you hired) can't shoehorn something else on or do a mod with similar effects at the proper difficulty check (or amount of credits.) Run it by your GM first and see what he/she says.

edit: grammar, sucks at it.

laser sites are for non-gunnery weapons only.

sides, yes i'd like it to do more. when the wookie's bowcaster does 14 damage, pierce 2, autofire, and knockdown..... yeah i'd kinda want my minigun to be a bit more beefy.

A bowcaster isn't a blaster though, apples and oranges, and it only has medium range.

Hopefully they come out with more stuff. I too like options in what mods that can be applied. For the record, doing "more" is different than doing "more damage". There should be more mods that give talents or neat little abilities. Something to make the weapon customizable to what the owner prefers.
