Commando Archive

Heya all!

After all the recent debates and the development of the Commando Profession, i made my mind up about a new Profession that more encompasses what i envisioned a commando to be. So, instead of pledging for a change of the Commando profession (besides the fixes of it's bugs and the addressing of it's known issues) i would like to see a completely new profession added:

The BlackOps Specialist

I would like to hear your idea about my concept as i feel the members of this particular board to be close to what i feel and like.

Please read through my template. Constructive criticism is more than welcome as i might have overseen some issues or created imbalances where there should be none.

A note on the new Weapons:

TAC-4 (i envisioned it to be like a Laser Carbine but with AR1 rather than AR2; instead i'd like to have it lower HAM costs)
SAR3 (the stats like a T21 but with Lower HAM encumbrance and AR1 rather than AR3)
HSS (like a LLC in it's stats. It would be less powerfull though due to the lack of damage multipliers like lightning sinle and cone)

Thanx for your time,

Funny thing is...this template sounds amazing. Great work. I would love to see them add this to the space expansion.

i really like it. some things could be changed (like UBG1 should be lower down, not right next to UBG2) but its little stuff like that. It is actually very well done, and id really like to see it in.

I love the idea. It actually lives up to the definition of commando. I've always had a fascination with SpecOps, and I personally think that I, along with a lot of my fellow commandos, would like this a lot. I like the idea of special moves that actually truly relate to the class. It seems very versatile(like we're supposed to be), and I also think the implementation of an M4-style weapon is really cool. Great idea, and very well thought out

Wow, simply amazing. Great job man, you're hired

And people say I have too much free time.

Really nice though.

Truly, this would be a lot of fun to play, IMO, depending on how the numbers worked out in terms of combat viability.

Only downside, you'd have all of 24 SP leftover..... which is precisely enough to gain access to Stim C's. Hm, nevermind - guess there is no downside, guessI wason crack or something.

Thanx for all your feedback so far!

I am glad you like it. I will wait for a week and if you still like it, i will post itin the development forum.

Thanx again

Dogg

Very nice, and well though out.

I'll try and keep an eye on the development forum and give my support.

after reviewing the template a number of times i came to think that the defense Modifiers may be too high. Also, the speed modifiers for the SAW seem to be high as well. What is your opinion about it?

I like it, but I still think it needs a unique Pistol plus specials/mods for it somewhere in those lines.

Or maybe something weird like Specials that only work for Tangle Pistols/SR Combat pistols.

Grey_Ghost

Yeah, now that I look a little more closely, the defense mods DO seem kind of high. Maybe instead of having ranged defense, maybe you could keep melee defense and throw in some status defenses (like the mods in pistoleer, rifleman, and carbineer). And what's wrong with a +90 total speed mod on the SAW weapon? That's not so bad, especially considering that it should be a low damage support weapon that should be used for quick supression and covering fire.

Looks awesome!

But(there's always a but) it looks just a little on the heafty side of combat xp, now even so I would drop commando and take this on right away, my thing is, you would have to be fairly strong even at novice SpecOp's to attain these amounts of combat xp, you're talking 4 months of power gaming group xp, so it would most likely have to be solo, and if you have the ability to solo well, then you have the ability to PvP very well, and well NERF NERF NERF you know how it goes

This is an awesome idea though, I would definately take it on.
