Yeah, I'd love to see 2 seperate professions along those lines. An actual Covert-Ops Commando and a HW Trooper.

Hey, you'd made a well thought out post with some good ideas, which fit in perfectly with what I was trying to say. Good luck with it becoming a new profession.

Ya know, I wonder if the Devs reading these boards have noticed that the long-term Commandos tend to be a particularly intelligent and respectful bunch compared to many of the other SWG players? Not that I'm blowing my own trumpet with that statement at all.

I have it! It came to me in my sleep! It really did, which is a sure sign I spend way too much time thinking about this game......


So, the current commando uses big weapons, heavy duty stuff. There's talk of adding the E-web, even bigger and heavier. This isn't commando, this is ARTILLERY.



THE ARTILLERYMAN or THE ARTILLERIST (I did look that up, it's a reall word!)



What does everyone think? Some minor alterations and some heavy duty weapons added and voila! Instant Artilleryman. Long range big damage, area damage, knocking out krayts and ATATs(yeah, I meant to spell it that way) with one or two shots if you'regood enough to get a direct hit.


Then take the commando title and create an actual commando profession to fit it:hand-to-hand combat(not necessarily unarmed), rifle sniper skills, stealth skills, demolition skills, assault carbine, close quarters pistol fighting, some of the lighter heavy weapons perhaps and THAT would be a commando.


Ah, to dream......

What they need to do is look at the commandos that were in Return of the Jedi. Even though they didn't show much of the commandos in RotJ, we do know they used explosives (what SWG labels as "Proton Grenades"), they used some sort of carbine, and they used covert tactics on Endor...or at least attempted to.


Now, I recall a post from someone else a while back that talked about actually making the commando into a hybrid profession that uses covert tactics, unarmed skills, as well as marksman proficiencies. It wouldn't be so bad to separate all of the heavy weapons (minus explosive devices such as grenades, bombs, and mines) from commando and make a new heavy weapon user profession. Add in carbine or rifle tactics of some sort along with covert tactics. I thought the post that that guy made was a very well-written and very well laid out plan.


Right now I'm going up the rifleman and fencer trees so I can get away from commando. The flamethrower is fun but that's about the only useful thing available to the commando and it gets dull. I want some variety. Hopefully one day we'll get what we all want. =0)
