Commando Archive

Hmm there has been talk of the RL being under powered I don't really think so though... have you compared it to any of the other ranged weapons that do kenetic base damage? At 64 meters with a blast radius of 6 you will tear apart anything wearing the heavy energy type armour.

My major concern is our dependance upon elemental damage specifically heat. If you look all of our weapons do some type of elemental damage, take away the elemental portion of our damage output with say a fire resistant armour layor andnow ourdamage isn't nearly as impressive.Remember all of the high end content with heat resist? well I don't but I remember seeing people gripe about it on the boards.

I hope this stays formated...

weap -- Dtype - Etype - Epwr - DPS ---- Range

LP------ Kin ---- Heat --- 68 ---- 105 ----- 0-45

MasKn - En ---- None ------------ 98 ------ 0-5

RL ------ Kin ---- Heat --- 170 --146(6) -- 0-64

HAR ---- En ---- Acid ---- 110 -- 141 ----- 0-45

HPB ---- En ---- Heat ---- 127 -- 176(6) - 0-40

FT ------ En ---- Heat ---- 119 --- 208 ---- 0-25

HAB ---- En ---- Acid ----- 178 -- 214 ---- 0-65

LBC ---- En ---- Elec ----- 187 - 246(6) -- 0-40

Well these are the weapons that the commando gets cert'd for I noted the Epwr as opposed to the Edps so you can't subtract one from the other to get dps when elemental state is negated (should have done Edps instead, ohh well). Also I assumed the Heavy Acid Beam cert was for the Acid Stream Launcher (probably a bug)

I know things have not been dialed in yet but I would like to see the commando get a cold damage weapon, also what are theElem types and their opposites (ie is Acid the opposite of electric?) The only weap I saw with cold damage was the proton carbine, but I haven't looked around too much.

why does the RL have a max range of 64? that seems like an odd number, can we expect the range to be down tweaked and I think the HAR should have a range greater than that of the LP, though it's probably lower because they wanted to keep the range under that of the HAB.
