Commando Archive

God no, that gun is horrible. Heavy Repeater should be Light or at max Medium AP, and Energy.

Guys, you're too stubborn for your own good Perhaps all of you should drop commando so DEV'd finally realise that something must be done. Do your consumable weapons have knockdown effect at least? Of course they have... don't they? Because I canimagine a situation when firing a pistol or carbine would knock your target down butI can't imagine anyone surviving a direct RL's hit on his feet.

Merge all 3 heavy weapons columns into one, not just the acid rifle and flamethrower. There should be only one column requiring heavy weapon xp. Increase the amount needed to move up, though, since there will be all three things added to one.

Then create an unarmed combat column and add vibraknuckles certification to novice commando. This column should be a big improvement over unarmed 4 from brawler, but not something to rival TKM.

Also add a column that builds on marksman skills, and build it with combat xp. Add close quarter pistol skills, assault carbine skills(an assault rifle is essentially a carbine) and sniper skills with a rifle. These are all things a commando in the Green Berets or Navy Seals would be able to do, so in a futuristic society I'm sure they should be able to do this as well.

Change the 'grenadeer' column to the Demolitions column. Grenades, explosive traps, large shape charges for taking out enemy bases and heavy equipment(AT-ATs, whenever they emerge on the SWG scene)should all be part of this. The experience gained from use of these weapons should be what builds the column, so there should be 'explosives' experience or 'demolition' experience. Something like that.

Also, requirments for commando could be changed. Add a column of medic, column 1. Perhaps 2 columns of scout, columns 1 and 2, exploration and traps. This would build up to commandos creating their own explosive devices in their own skill tree, as well as adding some stealth capability to commando, through the exploration column, as they should have this in the first place. True commandos are covert soldiers, infiltrating secretly under cover of darkness, silently killing as they make their way to their objective. They dont tromp around blasting everything with a flamethrower no matter how close or far it is.

Merge HAR, FT and that other heavy weapons column into one single column.

Create a new unarmed combat column and give novice commando vibraknucle certification.

Create a new column building on pistol/carbine/rifle skills. Close quarter pistol skills, assault carbine skills, rifle sniping skills. These are the ways true life commandos, Green Berets and Navy Seals, would use these weapons, so why not emulate the best?

Change Grenadeer column to a Demolitionist column. Add in explosive traps, similar to claymoors or other things really used by commandos. Also add heavy demolitions charges used to take out enemy bases and large targets.

That's it in a nutshell. I can add a lot more details about this, but this thing keeps deleting my entries and I'm tired of typing all the details, so I'm not typing it all again a 3rd time!!

My idea of a cool new weapon would be a Grenade Launcher

Uses the present grenandes as ammuntion......

The ham cost would be the same as the grenade your using however the launcher would greatly increase the range you can use the grenade. I would say perhaps 40 m would be the max range but that can be debateable. Aslo the Laucher would give a damage modifier to all the grenandes. Not much of one since most of the crafted grenades already have decent dmg. Perhaps 35% to 50% dmg added.

Example would be......

With an Average C22 Grenade

300 - 1200 dmg

4.0 speed

52/52/30 Ham

With the Launcher

600- 1800

3.0 speed

52/52/30 Ham

With at least 2x the normal range of a grenade

A greatthing would be to have a weapon that can do several different damages with each type of grenades

just my two cents

id have to go with the grenade launcher idea, mainly because thats all I use in FPS's and I like things that go boom...hence the reason I became a commando

the launcher pistol we already have it seems to me if we could put diff types of canisters in it that do diffrent types of damage to mind action or heath the heavy weapons need some help with range to take out the atsts the atsts should not be able to walk in trees and buildings we are commandos with anti tank weapons a tank that can follow us everywhere is no good i would also like to see demiletions that you could place on turrets that kill them if you can get close to it like in episode IV

what, like C4?

or how bout we get demolitions that we can place in teh ground liek mines
