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

[Kal-El]

Perfect timing on the video! I couldn't have said it any better.

[Calem Rhode]

I would very much like to see the LE versions of Prophecy V3 and Dark Prophecy V3.

[Zren Tobas]

@Calem. Same here. Would be nice to bring that option back again.

[Vixus PriX]

I think a version of the light sided savers with black rings. sort of how the dark LE sabers are black with silver rings, but inverse. I don't like the silver with gold, but I think some light sided sabers with a touch of dark would be a nice complement to the other LE sabers.

For example:
the Initiate LE could have the options of Gold trim, or Black Trim
and
the Dark Initiate can have Gold trim, or Silver trim

is a simple request since we already have those options, they're just not applied to the other aligned saber.

and to push some buttons:
We also need curved hilts.

What about O-rings in general? In multiple colors. That would allow more customization options for sure.

[Vixus PriX]

that works to.

[Aurick]

Vixus you sly dog you slipping in a curved hilt remark.... Shame on you and your house...

[Karmack]

I would like to see an option to get an "end cap" that you can put on one side of a coupler.  I have found that my vented coupler from my Phantom V3 staff also works well as a pommel/extention when I'm using the hilt as a single saber, perfectly balancing the 36" HG blade in "single mode".  Also saves time on re-assembling the staff, but that's a very minor detail.  :-)

What I would love would be a cap I could screw onto the bottom side of the coupler to give it a finished look and protect the threads of the coupler itself.  Or even just a soft rubber end-cap like the ones they use on spare blades, but sized for the coupler. 

Thanks!

Ouch. Those words are quite acidic.
I think that a multi-way coupler would be cool, it would allow three or four sabers to be coupled into a sort of fan, as well as giving the option of having the saber like Maris Brood that people occasionally ogle about.

OH OH OH OH! THIS ^^^^^^
the couplers would make nice pommels

How about a quick disconnecting coupler? Then it would be easy to switch from dual wielding to a staff without having to unscrew anything.

[Racona Nova]

I think this might be an update or mod of the recently released adjustable couplers. Not that difficult, although I have NO idea how to do this w/o weakening the connection to a point where disconnects can occur by accident or when applying a bit more force, especially in heavy strikes. Maybe some kind of screwable disconnect, but not the way you unscrew emitters or pommels...I think of a slight counterrotation of both sabers near the coupler. Best would be a coupler that has some kind of locking knob or pin so that you can't unscrew it by accident, but still have the ability to easily push the pin inside to unlock the mechanism so that you can separate your staff. So you have two sequential security mechanisms - only when both mechanisms are activated you can separate your staff.

Only a thought...what do you think?

Similar to something I had suggested before.  A modification of an adjustable coupler with a bayonet-style lug attachment.  It could be locked in place with a spring-loaded push-down pin similar to the way many folding table legs are locked in place.

[Racona Nova]

Oh, I must have missed that. But yes, that was the base for my thought, too.

Good ideas. Mine was something along the lines of it having one of those spring-loaded buttons on either side  that you have to push to connect or disconnect them, and it fits into a channel that is shaped like a Z with 90-degree angles. That way you have to push the buttons in and twist to get it to come apart.
Those buttons are on things like exercise equipment to adjust metal crutches to adjust them, when it lines up with the hole the button pops out to lock it in place.
