advantages of a Solarian's Solar Weapon?

Silver Crusade

What's the advantage of a solarian's solar weapon over normal advanced melee weapons, besides being free?
at level 1 i can buy a longsword or flame doshko, be doing 1 die step higher damage (or THREE with a tactical doshko at d12) and have the option to use fusions before level 4. and even once you're able to start using crystals there's not really much you can do that's not available to you through other weapons
thanks! :)

Liberty's Edge

It's perfectly concealable, cannot be disarmed or sundered, and is somewhat cheaper.

That's pretty much it.

Neither the weapon nor armor, while both cool for certain uses, are really a core mechanical advantage of the Class.

Few things:

1. Can't be disarmed.
2. Can't be sundered.
3. Can't be taken.
4. Doesn't require 2 hands.
5. There is nothing stopping a fusion from being used with a Solarian Weapon Crystal. Solarian Weapon Crystal are, by the rules, weapons.


they look awesome, you can make them look however you want

and you can hide it by turning off your mote and putting it in your pocket, then take it out when needed
