That armor would be really awesome, but I think that, at least parts, should be allowed to lesser commandos. I don't wear armor because it looks like crap or dosn't do much for protection. Thats why right now I just wear clothes that are skill moded to heck.

I have been slightly annoyed that commandos have to wear this extremely heavy armor for good protection lately. It just doesn't say commando but walking tank...(come on composite makes you look like a beefed up gorilla and you all know it). So...I thought of real world commando units and the type of armor they wear and it's all lightweight offering good protection. Kevlar vests are the heaviest thing they wear and they offer great protection vs. small arms (about 50% of the rounds shot at them can be blocked) but it's also lightweight compared to what the composite armor looks like. They wear steel toed boots (not actually protection but we need boots for the armor to work). The Leggings should look something like a mix between paramilitary camos and padded workpants with good protection. A shirt that goes underneath the vest can act as the bicep protection with elbow pads as the "bracers" of this armor. Then there are the nomex gloves (again not actual protection but sticks with the theme). Finally there's the helmet. Since this is Star Wars the helmet needs somewhat of a futuristic look and the only helmet I could think of that fits my vision is the helmet from Starship Troopers but with a visor over the eyes (yeah I know that movie sucks but it's the only movie with the type of helmet I was looking for). This should all be camo'd to fit with the theme and all be lightweight and have 50% resists to all but stun. This armor should be made available to Master Commandos.
This armor is really just to give commandos another option to the composite armor. I personally like lighter encumberance armor and remember that real world commandos wear lightweight armors so this armor came to fruition in my mind. I'm a little tired of seeing all the composite armor out there and wish to see some new armors included soon. And for any BH's I also think they should have their own Master armor as well as they really are the only one's besides soldiers you see wearing armor in Star Wars.

Hmm, why not make the helmet one of the Endor Helmets with a blast-shield (aka visor thingie)?

What are you talking about, composite doesnt look like commando armor? Are you kidding? The tubes comeing out of the mask, the tubes on the bracers, the completely sealed in look, it screams "Firebat".

there is a lighter armor with better protection, its called RIS, and more armor is being added in the future. but as far as armor only for commandos, i doubt that would happen, and if it does, expect a nerf on your ranged mit. and if you are more worried about looks then actual protection just wear clothes. if you are in a group anyways its not like you will be taking much fire, alot of people are going melee, atleast on my server. then again i usually wear ubese armor if anything for PvE, cuz it offers a nice kinetic protection and how many creatures shoot blasters at you, i know the squills dont. well thats just my two cents.

Since commando has had a major smack in the face to everyting since CU, maybe the devs could do us a favor and add commando specific armor to the game. Imperial storm commando armor that has assult armor stats and rebel commando armor that has assult armor stats. Add it with a quest (that a solo commando can do mind you, not a fully templated jedi) that would give you a little story about commandos and what they are susposed to be, and the reward a fully functional non decaying commando armor.

Commando armor?? Non decaying?? Lol dont mean to be rude but keep dreaming if they did anything close to this, theyd have to give everyone else proff specific armor. That'll never happen just wear ur comp armor and be happy. The devs dont care much for commando, just like they dont care for ranger or3/4 of the other proffs

non-decaying..... Lol
So because commando got a "major smack in the face" you want to give armorsmiths one too?

lol great reply. commando needs a boost for sure but i'd rather they had some more viable weapons and some specials or something than just another armour skin, and having it non-decay is just a silly idea.
