Thanks in advance to all who will help.
I'm getting my feet wet and have little idea what I'm doing. Forgive the incompetence of a newbie.
Ok, I've been toying around with the bow, including taking out all the emitters and stuff; pure weapon now. Bow still overwrites it even after I've eliminated all ties to the bow as far as I know. What the devil am I missing?
