Some talk is circulating around the boards about an assault rifle. That would be nice. Im quite sick of fighting in melee territory. We are NOT melee class. Why the hell should we have to fight in that range to be usefull? Theres no justifiable answer for that, and everyone knows it!Commandos (the actual name) is NOT a heavy weapons expert. Thats a poor name for a heavy weapons class. The best way to think of a commando is a BH, but more combat oriented, fighting a lot of people instead of one on one/hunting down bounties. When someone thinks the word "Commando" ( not in swg ),they think of an uber soldiersort of speak. We are NOT commandos right now, but if we are actualy suppost to be what the name says, then give us something thats the epitome of COMBAT, an assault rifle.
We are only pyros right now. No one wants that. Even if they fixed all our weapons, we still suck. HAR is just the FT but a lite version. Every one knows it. Cannons are expensive and so are grenades, not only that but not even practicle. Then we have the LP - i dont want my main weapon to be a pistol. If i did i would be a pistoleer/smuggler. Clearly were missing something...
1) Combine FT and HAR tree
2) Put grenades into the heavy weapons tree
3) make feild tactics usefull, like new attacks, sort of the way marksman have it, and ofcrouse, defensive mods.
4) Standard weaponry tree ( Assault rifle + LP,basicly our main weapons, giving skills and attacks to both weapons.
If enough people sign it, like every commando EVER, then maybe we might get a new deffensive mod to compensate or something
/sign please

Bless this petition and all who /sign
That being said, I don't think that much if any of the changes are going to be for the better. Examples: big changes to CH=now nearly worthless profession(only fun showing off pets to newbs); big changes to ID=now hated by many, and has many ID's themselves upset over many things that were fine before, and now are a pain (timer); big changes to all bleeds=now nearly worthless for any of the high HAM mobs; big changes to vehicles(to keep them from stacking up like a junkyard around the cities)=auto-storing of vehicles and pets at very bad times(when you really need them).
There have been some success stories though--such as the Chef/Bio-Engineer/Droid Engineer although some of the great things added to those professions are bugged. But- altogether they are vastly improved over what they were.
Maybe--just maybe if any of the proposed changes for Commando come through as requested they will be great and make an incredible difference for the better.
