Blaster Prototype

WHAT IT DOES

It adds the Prototype EE-1 blaster carbine. It is a fictive blaster semi-automatic pistol, very similar to the EE-3 carbine from Star Wars, a.k.a., Boba Fett's weapon. It's not an identical copy, though -- especially since the weapon looks different in each movie and game that features it -- so, if it helps, you can think of it as an early pre-production prototype.

In fact, it adds 5 versions: A, B, C, SB and S in increasing order of their power. Each series is in a different plugin file, btw, so you can choose which you want in your game. The options are:

C) C is for Cheat. Or Commando. This series has respectable damage, good rate of fire, infinite ammo, double crit chance, double limb damage, and silent too.

S) S is for SMG. It's like the C series, but with half the damage per shot and full auto fire. Still has infinite ammo, so just point and hold the trigger down until the opponent falls down.

B) B is for Breeder. Like the C series, and actually seems to do a little more damage per shot, but it has only 6 shots and they breed 1 shot every second.

SB) SB is for SMG Breeder. It's the B series with half the damage per shot, but with a 30 shot magazine and full auto fire.

A) A is for Adequate. It has infinite ammo, but half the base damage of the C series, half the rate of fire, non-silenced, no crit or limb bonuses, and needs 100 skill. So the damage and spread at low levels suffer. It can still be made better with the right perks, though. This is really an under-powered weapon by the end of the game, for people who want just the blaster looks and lots of challenge.

Each of those is in turn available in 3 different bolt and muzzle flash colours: red, green and blue. All 3 colour bolts are amply represented in SW movies (though blue is often supposed to be ion blasters), so you can take your pick. The 3 colours otherwise have identical stats.

All versions have been added to both the Laser Commander weapons list AND to the Plasma Spaz list, so it will benefit from both perks. The rationale is that technically blasters are described as plasma weapons, but are confused with lasers occasionally even in canon literature, and occasionally actually described as both. So I figured, wth, then I'll treat them as both and save myself the arguing with the fans.

While I was at it, I've also added them to Cowboy perk weapons (hey, you too can be a scruffy nerf herder;)), EnergyWeaponsLIST (it is energy), BeamChallengeWeaponList (beats me what that does), The Professional perk weapons list (since it fits the criterion), and Holdout weapons (beats me how you'd hide it, but hey, it's stupid to have to switch to a GUN in the casino.)

Like most SW weapons it has a scope, and this one even has night vision at that. The prototype obviously was built with iron sights too, but the at
