Something I noticed about my new pistols

So I went and got the Elite Fleet Dual Disruptor Pistols from the fleet vendor today. I was all excited to have a new gun to play with. Then I saw this...

Now while this is awesome in its own way, I would very much prefer that my pistols were not sniper rifles, just sayin. ;)

Just thought I would point that out to you wonderful Cryptic Artists.

    Unfortunately, this has been a well-known KDF bug for a LONG time.

    It's a stupid bug and it should be one that any dev could fix in less than a day (just copy the image of the fleet compression disruptor pistol and use two of those for the dual pistols). However, this bug is simply on the list of about 100 or so KDF bugs that the devs haven't fixed.

    At least it looks awesome when you have it on your belt.

    It's a nice Rambo sort of thing, but I'd rather Cryptic just fixed the issue.

    I'd very much like my "pistols" to remain as they are, thank you. Dual-wielding sniper rifles is the most awesome graphics glitch in history of STO. If you disagree, there's something wrong with you.

    SO many weapons are way too big. Many are 2x too big. Look at just about ANY rifle in the game -- including MACO sniper, including JH polaron assault rifle, and many others.

    Cryptic has no sense of scale. They don't have any QA process either. They ignore all tribble reports and dump it to holodeck without correcting errors.

    Do NOT hold your beath waiting for a fix -- you'll die before it happens.

    I bought the pistols hoping to have a nice weapon that looks good on my captain or bridge officers. But while a rifle strapped to each thigh looks cool, they look absolutely ridiculous when being used. I spent fleet credit and dilithium specifically for a set of dual pistols, and I agree that this bug should be handled for those like me who didn't get what they thought they were buying.

    If people really want to dual-wield sniper rifles, they should leave the current models as a 'prototype' that can be traded in for actual dual pistols. Either make it a direct trade for a duplicate item with fixed visuals, or at least refund fc and dilithium, even if the fleet provision can't be restored.
    Take a look at my Foundry missions!

    On the plus side, at least KDF Fleet Disruptor Dual Pistols exist...

    Wish I could say the same for Fed Fleet Phaser Dual Pistols. :rolleyes:
    You're right. The work here is very important.

    Again...

    Then maybe they should have the description "Dual-wield Sniper Rifles" in the item listing before I spend my hard earned Dilithium on PISTOLS like I wanted.

    How about it Devs? Give us options here.

    Since this item has been screwed up for so long, allow those who want to unrealistically wield dual sniper rifles do so. BUT CHANGE THE DECSCRIPTION TO INDICATE AS MUCH ON THE ITEM.

    Then, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, finally get around to putting the PISTOLS graphics in-game as well - because I would still like to get the dual PISTOLS as advertised in both TEXT and ITEM mini-picture for this item.

    There are dual pistols. Just not on the elite form.

    I'm making a KDF toon solely to sport this, and I hope it either never gets fixed or any fix involves an option to revert to this absolute unbridled awesomeness.

    I would pay good real world money for a Romulan version of these. This is awesome.

    A simple fix! Make new pistols with fixed visuals, and everyone who bought the bugged ones can claim the correct version for free. Provided that they bought the bugged version before the patch. Then finally lable these ones differently, so that people who want them can get them, and tell them apart from the correct version. Problem solved.

    Aw man don't tell them about it. This is easily one of the best things about the KDF. I practically levelled up my fleet's Engineering to T3 by myself just to get these.
