Ok ok, now I know that alot of us (SWG player wise) are pissed that we have had no info for quite some time
(understatment I know) but we havent been left completely in the dark. From all the bits and pieces that have been hinted at from various sources some of us have got a pretty reasonable idea as to what to expect. Now I myself do not proclaim that I know what to expect, and the point of this post is to hopefully get some details from those who have this afore mentioned reasonable idea. So please, to all those who have an idea; use this post to basically put it down for us to look at and give us some much need diversion from what is currently not happening. Thank you in advance.

Well too often I think about Monty Python and the Holy Grail when I think about the combat revamp docs....
But heres my take:
Upon release, a shining white light will descend from the heavens and make Garvin into a Demi-god. From which, he will gather up the forces of the commando...invade the sandbox, bonk the devs, bonk them again, and bring the revamp back to the human race.
And for details, that I cannot offer much...save this: The revamp will kill or make SWG stay alive, more so than JTL. They're not really just making a revamp, they're remaking a good 1/3 of the game....everything will be changing....and if those devs mess up....I got baseball bats and shuttle tickets handy if anyone wants em...
Vague, personal opinion yes....all I can offer, as garvin holds all the hints and clues...

I can supply the alibi you were talking to me about a mortgage over phone, faked easily enough. Wonder what a rocket launcher in SOE headquaters would do? I have no clue. lets find out!!!

K, I think I have figured out a little bit from what the corrs have been saying (and I read the commando forum every now and then since garvin is one of the best corrs). Anyway, heres what I think will happen, players will be able to devote 250 points to a profession, offence will be stacked in much the same way as defence is now, each profession will have a distinct strength and weakness,and "templates" wont matter as much as who is in your group, I think it was nova (old carbineer corr who left recently) who said a well-rounded group of varied professions can destroy a group of FOTM people.
Yes I know that paragraph is one run-on sentance. lol

Count me in!
I see you're Rebel and I'm Imperial, but hey, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all.
Don't worry about supplying me with a bat, though; I collect katanas, have studied the martial arts for nearly 11 years, and idolize Battousai the Manslayer (so what if he's not real?!).
Erm... On a completely unrelated subject, will anyone kindly help me with an alibi for after our visit?

Amen to that, but in any case...my alt on Valcyn, Nitaon Sunrof, is going to go Imperial...my rebel guild there disbanded so im going to consolidate with the friends i have left (who are all in one guild ironically) that still play over there, so when i feel like building ships/furniture i can have a group to talk with. Also, helps to get away from the guild I own on Chilastra every now and then anyways (the rebel server!). Plus, for JTL...it balances out and I can play in both the nova carrier and decimator. Privateer is boring anyways...
Id say more about...*censorship*...but sadly cant, despite it concerning me = imperial and the developers

We seem to have a lot of commandos from the forums on Valcyn...
Maybe we should start a commando guild on Valcyn.
Trouble is, I think most of us are of conflicting factions. Last time I saw Garvin, he was a blue dot.

StarNick...you painted a perfect picture in my head!
All Commandos show up at SOE in full riot gear. Garvin happens to have one of the Devs tied up with a vegitable strapped to his nose....
DEV: Come on guys! I'm not a witch...and this isn't my nose. It's a CARROT!
*silence*.....
Commandos: Buuuurrrrn the witch!!!!!

OK, from bits i have read here is what is goign to happen (as i understand it):
Commando is gettign a major revamp (at least on tree - HAR - being scrapped or at least re-written)
Armour resists are going to take a plunge
Buffs will be a lot weaker
Somehow there are going to be "interesting and unusual" commando templates runnin around. The only thing i can think of that would make this feasable is that skills from oter profs will now work on other profs weapons (eg rifle specials workign with acid rifle or whatever replaces it)
I am hoping the commando will get some unarmed moves
Also hoping the commando will be able to be a "realistic" commando and have things like bomb packs for takign ou bases or buildings. That woudl rock. Possibly some kind of variation on sneak as well.
Grenades being "sorted out"
That's all i can think of right now. Anyone got more?
