Please Please StarNick tell us that all races can wear it and every part of it with some work done by a armor smith if your not human. As I look back I should of been a soft skin.

New info, says Jedi wiped out the Mandalorian Mercenaries, the active ones, 32 years before Ep.1.
The Jedi in command of this task force, was Dooku, and one of the survivors were Jango.
Some Mandalorian mercenaries escaped the battle, some werent there. In fact, 30-32 years later, Dooku captured one of the survivors, so he could find Jango.
But ofcourse, we have 3 mandalorians.
The original specie, that liked to replace bodyparts with weapons. Thye had a distinctive armor.
The humancolonists that colonized the mandalorian system after the specie were gone. Wich were following the beliefs of the ancient specie, these are the ones fighting in the Mandalorian wars pre KOTOR. Their armor might not be produced since a few hundred years after KOTOR, considdering they "drifted apart".
Mandalorian Mercenaries, wich seem to be a collection of the best soldiers from all over, altho, it seems some are from the mandalore system, jango were not, Jaster might have been. Mercenary army, believed to have been one of the best armies the galaxy had seen. Their armor was believed to be able to deflect Lighsabres, and was in production by select companies up until their defeat.
(The jedi lost more knights and masters than it had done in a long time, in the battle with the mandalorian mercenaries, and it's from this battle, the "lightsabre resist" rumors come from. How else could Jango kill several jedi with his hands? The jedi werent Mace Windu with their sabres? They were the "police force" of the Jedi, and they almost lost the battle.....)

Now for "Commando master" armor:
Don't think we need one...Altho, we could need some special armor, like:
Storm Commando (Black Scout) : Rifleman, smuggler, Commando, BH. Masters
Specforce Infiltrator (Not made in SWG yet) : rifleman, Smuggler, Commando and BH. Masters
Imperial Army Combat Armor (worn by Veers): The rest, masters
Specforce Heavy Trooper (fleet uniform with blastvest++) : The rest, masters
Thats all for now

Actually some commando specific stuff should be optional. Such as going to a special imperial recruiter, who then checks you to see if you have master commando status. If not he says "You arnt yet proven yourself worthy of the storm commandos, get back to the rank and file". Or if you are a master he says "hmm, you seem to have what it takes to be a black scout..lets test you" Then you go threw a few missions involving commando things. At which point you are rewarded with the black Scout armor that has assult trooper stats and allowed the title of "master storm commando"

Hey Mitt, not to be nit picking here but,
*ahem*
The ARC troopers are almost direct clones of Jango Fett, not just physically but mentally as well, they are trained to operate solo and often times for long periods without command. A deep-cover ops guerilla more than commando.
The actual Commandos of the star wars universe are the
REPUBLIC COMMANDOS
raised in groups of four, these men ar masters of all the arts of the commando. These guys are the stuff. They run faster, jump higher, shoot better and are stronger than regular clones. They work in small squadrons ( read: 4 men.) and work very very well as a team.
These guys are the true commandos of the game and I would dismember someone for their armour, it is 100 times cooler than the ARC armour.
At least in my humble opinion...
Pax REPUBLIC,
Hyiro

I think what Starnick is 'hmmming' about relates to the fact that there's some sort of clonetrooper armor in the ROTW TRE files. 
For Rebels, Neutrals, and Imperials...

*Cough* Mandalorian Mercs
The "race" im referring to, is attributed to have been effectively "exstinguished" by the jedi several centuries prior to battle of yavin. That big conflict with the splintering of two "mandalorian" merc groups (with Jaster, Im not fully read on that part of SW history however), is something a bit different =)
Of course, the true mandalorians were in decline for thousands of years after the Mandalorian War that is talked about in KOTOR and all that gobbly goo-k.

Yeah I rather have the republic commando armor. But in all truth I would rather have the black imperial assult trooper armor with the ability to customize it and give it distinguishing marks. Such as red stripes on the sholder, or a red sholder pad like distinguishing marks of storm trooper sargents and stuff. Why is it the little things like that get ignored in favor of dumb things like "Cyborg arms and legs". Who honestly wants that crap? Give us adaptable armors and customizable armors!

Who knows if ARCs make it out of Ep 3? They're supposed to be more independent than regular STs/CTs. Maybe they don't necessarily go along with Palpatine's wishes. I'm getting a feeling that the Wooks might help out Yoda and that them helping him escape from Kashyyyk might be the reason the Empire throws so many of them into slavery.

dont mean to be a downer, but even though they have already cast this timeline to hell, putting ARC or any clone wars armor into it would put it that much farther from what it is...

I still would like to see the Imperial troopers get the Storm Commando armor. The ARC trooper armor would really fit the Rebels as it was before the Republic became the empire and you could see the rebels finding old crates somewhere and using them.
I dont care ife everyone can have the ARC trooper or not. It will either be ridiculously hard ala the DWB mando quest or so easy as to not be special at all. Unless its commando only. Is that the case then its more cool. But then again the Firespray was supposed to be Neutral only and when people complained they made it everyones fighter.
