Nelowulf The charging aspect isn't the problem though. Its the gas. You're failing to give the blaster any power by not giving it fuel to burn. So you got a battery charger? It doesn't help if the gas can is empty. All bundled up together on a portable, 80 pound backback, the pride of the set is the unique recharging station. The ammo-clips are packed with an ionized tibanna source, making them slightly more effective than normal blaster bolts, while being easily rechargable. The system holds a battery capable of story the fusioned electricity and tibanna for 100 recharges; over 60,000 rounds. Recharge time for each clip is a mere 45 seconds, while recharging the system takes 90 minutes.

Sure, just make an explosive gas, and use no concept of chemisty to give it an electric charge.
Do you happen to know what a "spark plug" does in an engine?
edit: And again, where's the gas? You have this battery pack, but no fuel storage.

Know what? I give up. I try being unique, and instead all hell breaks loose from the land of flak. Screw it.

Well part of it is the fact that we really don't need new blaster weapons for Legacy. If you really want a new model, you can make one up quick, but there really shouldn't be anything too impressive to add on. A blaster is a blaster. Some are stronger than others but there aren't that many differences.

Being unique is only second to being functional.
I doubt that putting gas fumes with an electric charge down the barrel is really going to help your case any, and since the blaster gas is far more valuable than the electricity in any blaster, you instead decide to turn the blaster into a rechargable battery.
When you run out of gas, no matter what kind it is, you're out of shots. by charging the gas, you're really going to make it run out of ammo faster, not slower as well. If you could be able to stabilize the molecules so the rifle doesn't blow to bits in your hand.
Tibanna is like gasoline. Think about how to improve a gas-driven gun.
You want a unique weapon? Consider making something that can take out a plaguetrooper.
Speaking of those guys, what did your so-called "project plaguetrooper" have to do with blaster sales? One, it wasn't public knowledge while the rifle was in development, and two, it would only increase sales to the empire.

Take out a plaguetrooper? I wouldn't even look at blaster weaponry for that... They're basically designed to be a blaster fire sponge.
Magnetic Accelerator guns or ACP systems would probably work better for killing those guys.

There are other ways, trust me.
A sonic blast strong enough will create concussion. If you can direct the concussion at the symbiote, you can make it eject itself and kill the trooper. Hence why grenades are so effective. If it doesn't blow the host to smithereens, the symbiote will kill itself.

Whatever happened to the times when Blasters just had a simple "Point and Blast" interface?

When some numbnut pointed the wrong end at himself and some lawyer took advantage, which paved the way for industrial revolution.

Sounds like the best weapon against plaguetroopers is the good old Concussion Rifle.

stellarmagic Sounds like the best weapon against plaguetroopers is the good old Concussion Rifle. More effective than a blaster... provided you can punch through the armor. Its not devistating, but so few people even think about using the things its not hard to overcome that weakness.

A concussion wave tends to go straight through most armor. I had Calra get nailed by splash damage from one and she had full armor on.

Blasters are good most of the time, but they can never fully get rid of the use of projectile weaponry. I'd more likely use a slug sniper-rifle with a suppressor than a blaster sniper any day.
