One of my long running projects this year is a modified Shaldoll Rogue. There are many things I like about the current design: the skull faceplace motif, the shoulders, the axe and gun arm---asymmetry works for this design. On the contrary, the MS seems kind of...naked and the gun arm is kind of plain.

The gun arm doesn't make a lot of 'sense' with the pirate theme, so what could I do to fix that? What kinds of weapons fit the pirate theme? I really like the peacock smasher fashioned by Crossbone Vanguard's X1 Full Cloth...how can i adapt and simplify that?
Conceptually, I like the idea of space pirates, like the Bisidian, being limited on resources and utilizing 'old' technology. Similarly, MS that get damaged or wrecked utilize make-shift solutions or patchwork repairs. Like traditional sea-fairing pirates, replacing severed limbs with a hook or peg leg. Not only do pirates find a simple fix, but they also find a way to weaponize it, which results in something crude but deadly. What would it look like if Shaldoll Rogue lost a leg? What would be used to replace it? What kind of weapon?
