Commando Archive

Change 5,000 credits to 50,000 credits. Decrease range to be 84m (to outdistance turrets)instead of 500m. Called like a pet, but takes 3 minutes to completely set it up. Manned by two commandos with Heavy Support 4. I would go with this, because that way people will think twice before crying nerf. Since it requires two commandos, has a setup time, and costs whole lot of money to purchase one (of course weaponsmiths will determine this, or the DEVs could be nice and make this into a faction weapon for both sides...), it would be good in base siege and base defense. These would be the weapon required to take out base turrets (due to the new increased range), and would be ideal for any PvP situation. Oh yeah, even though you need Heavy Support Weapons 4, that doesn't mean it has a limited amount of shots. That would ruin the entire concept of this gun. Though it would be ideal for anti-turret and anti-vehicle, it is quite obviously very capable of mowing down infantry.

Anyone else have thoughts on this? I would really like to see commando's get somethign new that isn't a nerf.

I'd personally make it mannable by one person only myself, since chances are it's going to be irritatingly hard to find someone else to help you man it at any given time. Aside from that though I'd make it like a vehicle that's stationary that can fire in a 64m radius. Just make it so it turns slower so that it can be outflanked with proper strategy.

also..i just saw an idea that the web being a 2 man weapon..and i totally agree! also in conjunction if this was ever added..a light repeating blaster cannon! similar to Canderous Ordo's in Kotor and Dark Forces repeating rifles

Hmm, perhaps have a light/heavy mode toggle on the E-Web, where one method makes it more like a portable repeater, and the other makes it a deployed cannon (as seen in ESB)?

Or perhaps as an alternative to requiring a second person to help use the weapon, some sort of droid moule could be added with that purpose (seeing as DE's aren't getting quite the boost they thought they would next publish.) Perhaps something kinda like Leebo and Dash Rendar manning one?

PS. I still want a concussion rifle.

Yeah, it was fun watching those things cling to Ugunauts as they ran around flailing...

How bout a cryobeam cannon? Give us fire and ice.

Yes a deploying weapon like the BLAF (a la MG42) would be awesome, something that would hit for a lot (bout 400-700 1.0) and hit in cones, but deployable so u can cover only 90 or 180° and take about 15-20 secs to deploy/remove it
