Banned List Update: Forcesabers

[Malok]

Happy New Year, Chaos!

I'd like to suggest a single amendment to the standing banned list. As of now, Forcesabers are included in the blanket ban against Rakatan technology. Now, I fully recognize and understand why the overwhelming majority of Rakatan technology was banned - but a Forcesaber is, at the end of the day, an alchemized lightsaber. As such, I'd like to suggest unbanning Forcesabers exclusively.

Visually speaking, the amendment would look like this:

Banned items:

• Rakatan Technology (Forcesabers Excluded)

That's it. What do you think?

 

[Vaucris Macroe]

I agree, no reason not to.

I mentioned this in another thread. I seem to recall someone mentioning that the Je'daii were allowed their Forcesaber-esque weapon. The Wikia says that the Je'daii actually outright constructed their own Forcesabers, though I must admit that I hold the belief that they probably didn't make them Dark Side weapons.

Also, the Soulsaber. It is a weapon that is allowed. It is simply a super Forcesaber, more powerful and more capable in every way.

I'd love for there to be a Forcesaber availability on the board. I do, however, think that Forcesabers might need to be limited. They are more powerful than normal lightsabers, and you don't want a million people running around with them. By this, I mean that they need to be more limited than the usual alchemized weapon is. Not too much - it shouldn't be impossible or ridiculous to acquire a Forcesaber - but, yeah, as I see it they need a bit more oomph added to them in their creation process.

Sure

Also. Soulsabers are a Force Nexus Item and require a Restricted Materials Mission to pass in the Factory.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

Don't see why not.

This sounds like common sense- a direction the Factory has been moving to for a while now. So I support this.

I support this idea as well. Forcesabers would not give an overwhelming advantage.

Its neat flavor. Long long ago I wanted to try for one, but the ban had others telling me no. There is a benefit however. Its not mechanical so it can't really be shorted out. On the other side if the force is eleminated there goes the saber.

Thank you. This will be discussed among staff.
