New gun

The blog post about the FN-PR 85mm said that you need good relationship with aztek to buy it,does it do with bokmok too (with relationship with mars,not AZTek of course)? And how good relationship is needed?
I like how theres "super items" that cost a hell lot of money and you need big reputation with that faction to buy this. "i would like to get with mars because their good guns and that superb gun link, but if i choose AZTek i can get that insanely powerful computer with max of 6 jobs at once."

We are working on removing any weapons that are too close duplicates. With stuff like Speed / Range / Accuracy and Penetration we should be able to get like a *lot* of variety in the gear.

Actually, I'd like to see different weapons and armor with similar stats, but slightly altered so different character types will want different stats. A sniper type will want more range and accuracy than power or speed, a gunslinger will want the opposite. A hacker will likely want speed and accuracy, etc. That's just my view on the subject.

Additionally, I think some normalization of the equipment prices needs to be done. Right now, I see low tier guns in about the same range of stats having wildly different prices on them. Same with armor. I'm not sure how the pricing currently works, but I would suspect that it should be each point on the item in question would be worth so much money, and the overall value of the item would be the sum of those numbers.

One last thing: Do weapons and armor drop from enemies at all? I've seen nothing but meds, the occasional v-chip or data, and ammo(almost exclusively pistol rounds). I'm not even sure if they drop money or not, since I've never noticed an increase in my funds from killing thugs and riot cops.

I agree with Hatesolstice, we need more variety in our drops. But I think pricing is alright, especially if negtiate can affect it and your reputation as well.

The pricing is a bit skewed at the moment. As was said in a prior post, you'll find weapons of similar stats in 2 separate areas with a huge price variance. My suggestion is a more typical approach by the "big" developers, because it's easier to keep things a little more balanced.

True, I just thought it was to give people the opportunity to purchase gear quickly or cheaply, not always both.

I had no idea that was even relevent, maybe it might not be implemented at this time, but i haven't tried to buy them since I still prefer the 10 range over the 10 damage, lol.

Also I still think that the ares lightfire is still the best (hand)gun in the game at this point, or maybe I just dont understand how the guns work in this game.
This is how i read the guns for the moment

LR-15 Bokmok
Manufacturer : Mars, Inc. (Obviously the maker of the gun)
Clip Size : 4 (obviously the amount of ammo the gun can hold)
Range : 7 (pretty obvious)
ActionPoints : 6 (this is just noted as AP in the game took me a bit to realize it was the action point cost of the gun, I'm sitting at 13 ap right now so it's not a big deal)
Speed : 1 (THIS ONE is a bit iffy on me. To my understanding this is the amount of times you can fire the gun in any individual gun fire, meaning 1 shot sorta sucks, unless the amount of times you can fire can be modified in anyway, I don't really know yet.)
Power : 10 (the potential damage of the gun after defensive modifiers)
Penetration : 1 (I don't know, but every gun in this game has this stat)
Accuracy : 3 (bonus to hit chance, I'm not sure how large of a bearing this actually has but I've seen 1-6 ratings on all of these)
Price : 3150 (HERP DERP GET UR WALLET)
