Even though im not really sure if this article is the best option on the wiki (I think it should be split up) I have mended a few links --Reaction 11:38, 15 April 2008 (BST)

I think your right it needs to be revised, now with the interface with THN it is very simple to pool information already collected. WIKI is not meant to be an Item DB.
Rather than pulling the full information in to this page, it could look like the below example on the Background Page and maybe redirect this page to there. i.e.
For example:-
Cursed Soul
- Abriviation: CS
- Tech Level: 105
- Weight: 2.40
- Ammo: Plasma Canon
- Requirements: STR:105 H-C:117 T-C:85
- Obtained From: Rares
- Background
Would Become (or something like this):-
Cursed Soul (CS) - Plasma Cannon
Jude Fey was well known as an absolute master hacker. His brain contained a few remaining organic areas, the rest filled with the endless nano-circuitry of implants, causing him to act more like a machine then a man. No one should have survived more then five brain implants, but he replaced step by step all parts of his brain with their technological counterparts. He was still himself in a way, but more of a technological copy of his former organic soul, right down to the thoughts in his head. He was also, without a doubt, one of the most impressive engineering marvels of all time, a human who isn't a human. He was able to interface directly with his weapons, able to calculate distance, direction and frequency in only a few nanoseconds with lethal effects. One day however during a fire fight, he was hit by a massive burst of energy, deadly to a normal human. His soul got mixed up with the artificial intelligence of the plasma weapon he was using, while his body died. His electronic soul became one with the weapon, like a genie in a bottle, but burning with a deep and total hate of all free and living individuals. The resultant mighty weapon, is known and feared even to this day by all, even by someone lucky enough to find and wield it.

Hmm...this page needs renaming or changing, IMHO the definition of rare weapon is a weapon built using rare parts. We got epic weapons thrown in here as well... not sure what to sugguest here tbh. --

- I agree with the renaming or changing - the wiki does not need to become an item database (pulling all the data from the THN IDB...) however a page explaining what a rare weapon is would be more fitting here δρ • Delphi (t) • (c) 18:33, 15 April 2008 (BST)
On a side note on Item DB - there is a view that list all rare weapons - it's called rares - see the THNapi:Show_view page for the command details. -- Brammers (t) (c) 00:32, 16 April 2008 (BST)
