Commando Archive

I just started SWG yesterday, and am having fun. I have a good few K credits so far, and I don't know how to buy anything, like a rifle or some armour. Any help would be great. I asked about, and people said go to a vendor, but I only got quests from them.

hey dude sounds to me like you are going to mission terminals head to a town like bestine there are vendors/bazzars outside the starport big red boxes clickon em to get the list of items for sale

Hit CTRL+V to see the planetary map. On the left chose vendor and then the cataegory of vendor you seek (I:E weapons or Armor). Theese vendors are all owned by players.

What he said, BUT, you can buy items put up for sale all over the galaxy. But you can only retrieve them from the region they where put up.

Example: I buy a CDEF Rifle in bestine, but the locattion tag says "Coronet, Correlia". This means you'll have to go to Coronet on the planet of Correlia and pick up your Rifle from any Bazaar Terminal in Coronet

All combat professions with the exception of Bounty Hunter and Smuggler have the same "purpose." This purpose is to have an effective and unique role in combat.

The only Commando-specific content in game that I am aware of is our use in GCW base takedown. All Commandos with Heavy Support Weapons 1 are able to perform a required step in taking down a PvE or PvP base.

Beyond that, I hear glimmers of a Proton Rifle Schematic Quest, but who knows where that will be garnered from? (Aside from devs and correspondents )

Based on what I've read on these forums in the past, our role as commandos is to take ourselves too seriously, to believe that it takes something "special" to play a commando toon, and to be uptight about people who dabble in the profession for the purposes of gaining FS XP. Oh, I almost forgot... It is also our role to make broad assumptions about who is a "true" commando and who is just a poser.

Hope this helps!!

I think you are referring to every profession/galaxy/possible clique, in that case.

See: any galaxy forum, any profession forum, any thread containing the words "registration date."

Sorry I was trying to fit some humor into my Friday.

Other than the base take down function I see the commando as bringing a character dealing out significant damage from any range using any combination of weapons.

The range and weapons used will depend upon the sklls the commando dabbles to get.

In my case I will be using my RL and HPBC from long range
My medium and short range weapons are my Ffmer and my pistols that I picked up with Smuggler and complimented bydabbling in Piostoleer.

We will have Commando/rifleman limited to long range

We will have Commando/Carbineer limited to long and medium range

We will have Commando/pistoleer limited to short range

We will have Commando/TKM slapping others around

We wil have Commando/Swordman or fencers or Pikeman slashing, cutting and smashing from close up

We will have Commando/MBH Now I know why I don't want to be a Jedi.

On all of the above add thateveyone has a long range striing attack.

Take Commando and a second master that fits your play style and dabble in a complemntary prof.

All in all Commando is the most versitile prof in the game.

Please note: Commando - which comes first in my book- is the pre req prof. All the other profsare add-ons.
