Suggestion Box/Wishlist: what do we want from Ultrasabers?

[BlindJedi]

I'd love to see a hilt with a black body, and silver and gold details.
I'd also like to see a refresh for the Prophecy, Standard Issue, and Liberator.
Prophecy, should get some grips like that of the Graflex, and maybe an updated emitter.
Standard Issue, should get some black anadized grip sections, and some accent buttons.
Liberator, should get just an overhaul for fitting in the new Diamond electronics.
The dark versions of each of the above hilts should have simply the reverse coloring.

That sounds like the price of the Prophecy would then overtake the likes of the Bane or the Archon 2.1.

The Standard Issue may look cool in a "light" two tone, but I'm a big fan of it as it is too (in all versions) so I kind of hope they don't do that until I've added both Dark Versions to my collection.

The Liberator however, little unsung hero that it is, is already capable of being a Diamond saber so if that's all that's been stopping you, you should get one now while the sale is on because that hilt is fantastic!

Brass as a AV switch option. Also, optional control boxes on all sabers.

[Zren Tobas]

How about just something cool looking. Then something... Unnatural looking

Found a leaked photo of that updated Prophecy




I think something that many forget to take into consideration is that the V-series hilts are first and foremost combat sabers. They are designed to look good, but more to take an @$$ whoopin' and still function.

I second this, and couldn't agree with you more.

Agreed^^  Point of fact, I'd love to see US release the Archon w/ the activation box (Archon v4 perhaps?).  Until then, I'm thinking of getting an Archon v3 and modding it w/ a graflex clamp.  I'd just need to figure out what other hardware to supplement it....

Brass or gold AVs would be great. I had to paint my AV switch on my ELectrum Wind to get it to match the button it was on.

Speaking of, it'd be AWESOME to get a monarch with gold details, it'd be really close to Palpatine's saber.

Edit: no, palps saber has a 3 color deal going on with brushed metal, stainless steel, and gold. Actually the Consular could be modified to a Palpatine saber with the right pommel and some work on the shroud, but not the Monarch.

I received my first Emerald Driver today, on The Guardian. I am still learning my way around it. I think it would be good if the Emerald Driver USB connector was an external feature rather than an internal one with the batteries. This way I don't need to unscrew the pommel and try to release the battery holder compartment, which is very hard to do for my Guardian. So an external USB port, just like the recharge port, all external would be very convenient.

OK, you know how you have the option to add a blade plug when you order a saber? Ever been frustrated when you get it only to find out that when installed it isn't long enough to bottom out while being able to be secured, and then your MLS rattles around while your walking?

What I'd like to see is an option on the Plug selection to have the plug custom cut for length. That way you don't order something like a Scorpion, get a 2" plug, and find out that there's still 2.5" to get down to the MLS.

Or an MLS/LED module retention screw.

Maybe. But also with the plug, it ensures that any windows are properly covered.

Covertech wheel placed on the right side stock for the Manticore please? And possibly some kind of special covertech wheel for the Monarch finally? I know it can be done. I'd like to have that option for if I ever buy me a Monarch which I will at some point, would be a way nice wearing lightsaber for sure =] I like the covertech wheels on the right side though because it always shows the front details of the saber when wearing it. At least that's the side I'd thinking of anyway. Whichever side when you wear it like the switch details on the saber shows more and such. Like I just feel like the Manticore should be a saber that comes stock with a covertech wheel already on since both are a bit higher end sabers. That's just me though

I would like to see a V2 of the Emerald board. The new Diamond board is just too much in my opinion. With too many options and I don't think most people want to put in the time it takes to figure it all out. I would love me to see an upgraded version of the Emerald board with extended memory and a few added options like spin and stab.

I think that could be best, and most economically, done by eventual tweaks to the firmware.  Perhaps they can have different levels of interface, like a selection in the launcher where you can have a simplified version, for setting up simpler things, structured much like the Emerald setup is, or you can select the full-blown version.  Maybe even a way to do initial setups via the simplified version, that can then be taken into the full-feature launcher to tweak up with a few added effects?
