At least one weapon system (possibly others) with similar (or matching) stats to existing weapons, except they do no damage, just the impact sound.

This(these) weapons could then be used in 'friendly' or even NFZs without upsetting authorities.

The reason for these is so that new players could practice PvP for long periods of time without having to constantly replace ships. Has the possibility of accelerating new players PvP skill development.

Could possibly be a fun toy for vets to use on occasion against each other or to train new players.

Just, erm, ask the person you are sparring to stop at 20% or something.

The training blaster you use in the training sector works nearly like that - it can't harm player ships, only NPCs. I wouldn't worry about the NFZ part - just don't fight right there next to the station. That way, the devs could just make the Training Blaster available without having to to any new work. Here are the current stats for it:

-----------------------------
Training Blaster
Required License: -/-/-/-/-
Damage: 250
Velocity: 145m/s
Energy: 10/blast
Delay: 0.15s
Grid Usage: 4
Mass: 100 kg
Volume (as cargo): 1 cu

Specialized training weapon, will only damage NPCs, not Player Ships.
-----------------------------

So basically what you're asking for is a MkII version that we could buy from various stations, which would have a velocity more in the range of 190m/s.

Add a text flash across the hud that says something like 'Did your mommy teach you to dodge, because looking at you, she was never too good at it herself.' and you've got a damned fine training weapon.

I have training neutron blasters that are pretty much neut2s with 1 damage.

I always thought the Training newts should be available at capital stations.

so, +1

+1 to training weapons widely available.
-1 to NFZ violations of any kind, even a tag or paintball gun. Just move away few kms and you're free!

NFZ is NO-fire-zone... it is not a Non-Lethal-Weapons-Fire-Zone

Yet another +1 to making training neutron blasters available at nation capitols. :)

Some kinda training rocket and training missile would actually be really cool.

That would be very cool. I use Aerna Seeker launchers to practice rockets, they are not the easiest ting to find and ya cant reload them... but, I have a few thousand for sale.
