Commando Archive

On your 101st airborne idea, we could have an elite of the elite squad that you have to earn your way into that has something special, like the red for good leaders, but instead, maybe a different helmet color, or 1 bicep with the role color and one that represents your membership in the super squad. There are lots of ways to do this, but I just think we shouldn't get too customized, or we lose the uniform army aspect that we're going for in the first place. This is why I don't like the individual squad armor idea, there will be 10 completely different styles of armor in our guild with each style only having a 8 or so guys wearing it. Then if 4-5 of each group are offline, we don't look organized or uniform at all.

Okay......so we have three types of armor:

Assault--> Commando, BH, SL

Battle--> Doctor, Carbs, All Melees (nix TKA), Ranger, Combat Medic

Recon--> Pistoleer, Rifleman, Smuggler

And the different sets of armor:

Assault--> Composite, Bounty Hunter, Mandolorian, Factional, Chitin

Battle--> Padded, Marauder, Factional, Bone

Recon--> Ubese, Tantel, Factional, Mabari

Out of all of these, Recon cannot have biceps colored, for they come as chest plates, bracers, gloves for the upper body. However, the factional Recon armors do have biceps, but cannot be colored. So as such any designations of any kind would have to be placed on the bracers, preferably on Mabari since it has greater variety of colors if we wish to stray from the typical black/white/tan colors. Battle armors have the same coloring variety as Assault armor does, so they can be designated on biceps or bracers. Furthermore, the templates that have been floating around this forum have mainly been geared towards duel-master templates that included dual armor certs. Thus, we can combine armor sets to create cool looks, such as what Tacwraith has done with Marauder armor, only cooler . Just listed this so everyone knows what armor is what, and what can be colored. For more info, check out the AS forums, they got lots o' goodies there hehe.

Interesting, I'll talk to a BH friend of mine about hunting these things for loot.

BTW, Ryu, you turned... purple...

The link to the thread in the AS forums about the BH armor is here.

And this is the color palette for BH armor as it stands currently.

***Eclipse - Ryushidosha, freelancer; Scaley Master Carbineer, ranger, merc for hire, and general sociopath...that despises the NGE.
***StarSider - Ja'ahn Woo [PYRO] of the Alliance - The Galaxy's first Jawa commando/carbineer...who also hates the NGE.

People like me...because I force them to...with violence!

Joken and I were talking about this the other day, and since we've gotten input from everyone on everything else, we might as well get input on this.

What sort of armor should we wear as troops?

My personal choice is we use crafted BH armor, which has schematics dropping on TC now.

Typical BH armor (looted) is the gray with blue trim. Since crafted BH armor colors will be customizable, I'm thinking we follow acolor scheme roughly modeled after ARC Troopers.

Guild Leader - White with Gold Trim
Guild Officers - White with Red Trim
Rangers (I believe one or two people mentioned trying to master ranger with commando) - White with Green Trim
Riflemen (our snipers) - White with Black Trim
Healers (docs/combat medics) - White with White Trim

Standard Commando - White with Blue Trim

Feel free to add comments/suggestions to my idea, and submit your own!

Doesn't leave much color for crowd control.
