After browsing over tacwraith's post on a Grandmaster marksman...i got hit with an idea! (for once)

However, rather than just making us virtually a half of rifleman, half of carbineer, half of pistoleer thing....why not have all that brought in as a culmination?

Rather than what we are now, solely a Hvy Weapons Trooper..i would prefer more of an Elite trooper..and im sure most here would agree on that.

And then the ideas with an Assault Rifle...

since we're a hybrid class..why dont we have a Hybrid Weapon? and that being..an assault rifle. Something that is versitile, a cross between a carbine and a rifle..can use both specials, and truly is a more advanced form of the two elite profs...then comes our LP which represents MP

Honestly, having more mods for the three weapons at the same time w/ alot more specials, each specific and some for all...just...gets a bit overdone i would say - we should make it simple.

Already, the meleers and other proffessions outdamage us against armoured opponents...so when they come time to actually overhauling us..they're not just gonna have to do a ton of work on us..but nearly the entire system. Personally, when i see commando..i dont see some slow moving hvy weapons guy..i see a rambo with a rocket launcher strapped to his back and a machine gun in his hands, blasting away..thats what I see..and sadly, I dont see that with SWG.

so..yes..its that time again, another Proposed revamp thing (never get tired of them ):

Field Tactics - Gernades, a Mix of unarmed mitigation 1 and some enhanced melee bonuses + counters

Heavy Weapons - 1) Tie all hvy weapons to one pool, 2) Better define the hvy weapons (dmg, spd, etc)

Special Heavy Weapons - Enhanced HAR/FT here, with shared specials and/maybe shared mods (also upped)

Assault - The Assault Rifle (or could be repeater blaster..something that is Big, Fast, Deadly - like a Rifle/Carbine..that can also use those specials from marksman, hybrid specials, mods, and hybrid mods [Ok this is stretching it..obviously you cant have two weapon mods changing into one..so maybe just rifle, or carbine accuracy chosen...but the weapon can take both specials...OR just give us hybrid mods that begin at novice..but alot of them....for this AR, im thinking more of Republic Commando's main weapon]

And then obviously..the LP..with specials/extended mods of its own

This way...maybe it'll stop encouraging the Flame IV dabbling..since we'll also have a powerful assault tree (and hell..if they wanna do this for sake of balance..maybe tune down FT/HAR for all i care...an assault rifle or repeater blaster would be well worth that sacrafice) and then with Field tactics, we'll be given some melee bonuses along with what we have..therefore making it a true hybrid.

Last but not forgotten...then comes Master Commando....have maybe a version 2 special for the AR/LP here (version 1 in novice..JUST like how other elite classes have it), keep the same defenses..and have a nice +20 or +25 add of counters to master plus the same accuracy and specials already there...in theory, this could encourage ppl to master the prof (like TKM having +20 or so defense acuity, and other cool stuff that is RELEVANT TO ALL TREES, a culmination if you will..just like how we are with marksman and unarmed)

I would Die, if they added a revamp similar to this..though it will prolly never happen..but just wanted to comment on tac's grandmaster marksman thought, and add some tidbits of my own thinking of how the commando can be (most likely ive missed a few things..its 2 am..soooo im excused from that you critic!! )

Goodnight folks.
