I love it when players do something outrageous like that. Of course it won't be an effective weapon, but it might deal with a specific situation and it's a lot of fun.

For that one big bad guy that runs around using a TIE's viewport assembly as a personal shield. True story.

My Esoomian character has actually done something much like that.

Awesome!

I think my character did more to 'challenge' the Gm than any other character...

On the other side of the coin my character had the largest Imperial bounty too.

OK, here's a question about your experiences with encumbrances:

Have you ever carried an E-web around firing from the hip as another PC follows you around with the power generator?

I've never done this but I can see this being done especially with more PCs helping to carry the weapons.

While i have not done it, i did see it as a fellow player.. I tried to explain to them it would be like trying to haul around a 50 cl machinegun.. but they wanted to do it anyway.. One was a Rodian (the one with the weapon) and 2 were ewoks hauling the power supply around..

My Esoomian character eventually got a verpine player to modify an E-Web so it could be used as a blaster carbine for someone over 3 metres in height. It was powered by 15 standard blaster rifle clips and would have been a pig to reload but he never actually got to fire it so I don't know how well it worked.

Strangely any situation that looked like it might turn to combat was almost instantly defused when the 3.5 metre Esoomian whips out his E-web and brandishes it like a rifle... Well that and the fact that the gun spent most of the time locked up on the ship because it was illegal and we were usually going for a more covert feel.

OK, have to ask, how is a 3.5 metre Esoomian covert in any way, shape, or form?

Holy poot! Isn't Tantor, which was based on an unused Rancor design, an Esoomian? That's a huge mutha!

Yes Tantor is an Esoomian and my GM extrapolated stats from Tantor's stats to create a workable Esoomian species.

Esoomians can be covert if they're in disguse. My characters most successful disguise was that of a herd animal (similar to a bantha). Of course he couldn't talk or act intelligent without ruining the illusion so it wasn't fun for him but people had no problem thinking that a creature his size was just another non-sapient pack animal.

Sounds like Stoow a wharl force user who a player of mine cam up with. He ussually disguises as a beast of burden.

The closest I have gone to using an E-Web without taking the time to set up the supports is when another player acts as the tripod. However I based that after what people can do in real life. While you could probably fire an E-Web from the hip if you where really big and really strong, you probably couldn't hit anything with it. Or at least have some hefty negatives. Of course I have plenty of friends who fired large caliber guns that where set up for it in the army from the hip but those where all automatic with a hire rate of fire.
