Homebrew alternate/variant weapons
If you have some I want 'em just looking for a bit of spice to add to the EP setting itself. A few of mine, White light Heavy Laser-has a bit more punch than other laser weapons Meta-Cooled Plasma Weapon- can fire up to 4 shots as a pistol or 6 shots as a rifle before having to be cooled.

Re: Homebrew alternate/variant weapons
In my game there have been many brands of Extropian weapons. They are more fashion accessories than weapons per se, so the price can be one level higher or the damage lower - but they do give you a bit of rep or SAV bonus when meeting a connoisseur. Think Gucci Guns, the baroque ornaments of Innendo of Sky, Trillicom Arms absurd overkill and AR advert overload (they are a long-running joke in my gaming group), the organic mother-of-pearl designs of ZenStrike, the utilitarian elegance of Reid & Wolfram, the imposing black metal surfaces of Sentinel Systems or the Iktomi-inspired Schaal guns. We also have Tangaroa's Lightshow, essentially a nuclear battery connected to a rotating set of laser barrels... yes, it is a laser gatling gun, best vehicle mounted unless you are a very heavy synthmorph. The damage is so-so given the energy input, but it is a great flamethrower for burning down forest or sterilizing an area, and the effect is impressive. Fairly cheap too; essentially just open source equipment added on top of a big battery.

I assume White Light is the brand name, rather than the spectrum (since lasers are - with some caveats - just one wavelength).

Lol. For our excellent role play and dedication, our GM awarded 2 of us with custom weapons. >>>Our Lost's personal Particle Bolter (Completely customized, named "Margarite")- +4 Damage, + 4 Penetration, Burst Fire. If Critical failure when burst-firing, explodes dealing 3D10+10. >>My AGI's Custom SMGs (Caldari Armaments, Precision Model)- +2 Damage, +2 Penetration, no fully automatic fire. +10 rounds to magazine capacity. I have one Railgun and one standard Firearm.
As mind to body, so soul to spirit. As death to the mortal man, so failure to the immortal. Such is the price of all ambition.
