Aside from anything overly troublesome with geometry and power effect orientation that could cause crazy effects (a la shooting crab lasers out of your feet), I'm not hearing any damning arguments against this from any cosmetic/thematic perspective. You have specialized weapons in the models selection already. Sniper rifles aplenty. A blunderbuss. A tommygun. Take a step back and ask: How do THESE mesh with the broader powerset? Slug? Buckshot? M30 Grenade? Sniper Rifle? Flamethrower and Ignite? Full Auto and Burst? Oh- also the Crey, Rikti, Resistance, and tech-set energy weapons. Those are about as off-point for the entire powerset as can be. Yet, here we are. We have them. And they can be fun and thematic for characters, no less. Simply put: The arguments here are more for separate firearms powersets rather than against including more selectable weapon models for Assault Rifle... If anything, these arguments work in favor of INCLUDING a minigun/chaingun. That is to say, I support even more weapon skin options. Even if they look a little derpy with an off-center barrel. Whatever lets people have fun without harm to others. And it'd be a lot less work than dividing AR into 5 separate powersets, besides.

+1 on the request for more usable NPC group emblems! Crey, KoA, Aeon, Warriors, Architect Entertainment... All good stuff, if possible.

Howdy folks, Low-impact, low-priority bug report here for the back burner. Apologies if this is the wrong place to drop this sorta thing specifically. Time of Occurrence: Multiple, 1:24PM PDT pictured Server/Map: Torchbearer, Steel Canyon 1 Involved Characters: Entropyrean@Axiss, Uzura Celesa@Uzura Celesa Issue: Other player's chat bubble appears above my character. In this case, it's Uzura's chat appearing over my toon's head. Other than this, no negative impact to gameplay or chat performance. Can't tell if this only happened for their broadcast messages, or the LFG as well. Workaround: None; issue self-resolved after some minutes. Uzura may have switched maps in the meantime which resolved the issue, but I have not been able to confirm this. I have not noticed this happen otherwise, nor have I noticed it happening since about that 10min window. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/EGDrfzl.jpg
