Few things I think are still askew with our profession:

1. Heavy Support Weapons Certs. Is it just me, or does it seem that the certs for Heavy Sup Weps are reversed? One would think Rocket Launcher would be the last, HPBC second to last, and then down the line to Novice. Yet RL is the first HSW you get certed for, followed by the second most powerful HSW, The HPBC. Reversing the cert order seems logical.

2. Flamethrower VS. HAR speeds. As of now, there is little reason I see to use the HAR, unless something is resistand to heat. The FT is not only more powerful Per hit, but Faster as well. I know many people are campaining for the HAR to get an AP value, but I would submit that if it were Faster than the FT, more people would have cause to use it. Reversing the delay values of the 2 weapons would do this, and might bring life into a wep that I dont see being used that often.

Any thoughts?

Because of it's ineffectiveness at range, even if the HAR was faster, I'd still use the Flamer. I still say it needsAR1 or 2to be effective.

The acid rifle is very uninspired. I'd be all for combining the FT and HAR tree and make a new machine gunner type skill. Also, for polishing up, I'd say give the HAR AP1. That would make it contend with the FT and the speed seems to be about the same on them.

Other finishing touches would be making AP work and pushing the changes to AT-STs and turrets to Live.

There is a +10 in the Har Accuracy that doesnt stack either if you look in your mod's for the Heavy Acid Rifle. Also the HAR's specials speeds does not increase like the Flamethrower. Where as you do a Flamethrower special you'll be ready in 9sec to do another. If you do a HAR special you'll wait 15-20sec like your a novice between specials.

As for polsihing upI think people would love to see commando's finally get their own special Launcher Pistolmoves and cut all ties with the Pistoleer professions(meaning they wont work with the LP).

Also I would like to see the Field Tactics line buffed up to match its descriptions.

I think everyone would like to see the Launcher pistol get its own specials, commando's don't have much left to work with after they get master. The flamethrower seems to be the weapon of choice and there really isnt much use for the Launcher pistol or HAR at the moment, other than to fill in space between your flame dot.
