Archaic weapons help, Bows, Arrows

[Wesrolter]

Is there a way to remove the Archaic quality from a weapon?
I noticed there is a level 1 Bow without it but then the higher level bows, Battlebows, all have Archaic. Without constantly spending cash on Special arrows, is there a way to make a later tier bow worth using?
That also brings up the question of Arrows. Can you collect them afterwards? I understand a grenade arrow being a 1 use item but the basic, Diamond edge and Molecular rift, can they be collected after the fight to reuse?

Edit to also ask, why does the basic bow not have the analog quality?

The raw lethality soldier gear boost comes to mind. Recovering arrows is likely GM dependant, but RAW I believe the answer to be no.

The basic bow should definitely have the analog property. It does on the archives. May have been a 3rd edition error catch.

Cheers... I feel a little stupid now... I was looking over Gear boosts last night and thought 'Why would I use an Archaic weapon?' as I don't remember seeing much which has it. Now today I am asking about it...
Adding a little bleed is not bad... Might have to look into melee weapons with Archaic to see if there are other stuff it can work with

Well there is a fusion to re move archiac I believe. i forget if its specifcally for that. or if its the hybrid one. Its not very high level though--so go peek through them and find it.

I've no clue about arrows. I assume you could. Assuming they weren't broken. I n ever thought about it; I was assuming it was like pathfinder where you havea 50% chance re covery but I'd have to look into the rules for starfinder... Though even with broken ones I imagine you could collect the scraps and with enough of them make a new arrow at s ome liquidated price.

Did they ever get bows the quiet property? I remember a bit of weapons erratta but if they missed that its ano brainer. Would be nice if bows had SOME advantage in this crazy sci fi world...

[Zwordsman]

Oh man I wish Bows and Crosbolters had quiet property, or some other sort of advantage like that...
Even if it was just Bows getting 3Dimensional aiming like in Final Fantasy Tactics; allowing to bypass some cover if there is a clear sky to arc a shot.

bows and crossbolters (that aren't like Edgar FF6's) are weapons I hope get more content down the way
