Thread: NEW COMMANDO WEAPON The DC-17m Blaster
Thank you for posting.
But just so you know, this idea has been tossed around for quite some time. We should keep discussing this and other weapons.
I personally think this weapon sounds great, and has fabulous potential, but we will need to discuss it an dwee what is best.

Personally im following SW: RC pretty closely..and very excited that they're making a new FPS (jedi knight series was good...but getting rather old....we need more SW games that gets the gritty stuff..not the jedi stuff...just like SW: RC )
Anyways...im 99.9% sure they are NOT going to put this weapon in SWG as its from another game (not the movies)
Most likely the devs will either get an AR from the movies...or design one of their own...which makes sense two fold:
A) Most of the times, even if the game is "official" you wont see the same weapons that are game specific in another game (either new weapons, series specific weapons, or brand weapons..like the DL-44, oe E-11, or DH-17).....of course this isnt always true...there are exceptions
B) Mind you...this weapon would be over 20 years old....most likely there would be new upgraded weapon varients by now.... (maybe they could use the DC line...bigger number 
)
But that doesnt mean im not for the support of an AR...hell, i want an Assault tree so badly!!! ...but I dont think they're going to make an AR exactly like the DC (like a skin of it on the swg engine for example)....but the basic concept where it is interchangeable..or customizable is a VERY interesting idea..that could very well create a new unique line of weapons (rather than "slicing" we can "add" stuff to weapons, making them new and different...a true modification....but that would mean you would need extra skills...
for exampe -
if lets say we got a customizable AR...the basic design is a fast-fire, med-ap assault rifle that can be used at Assault 1 (proposed tree)....but in order to make it into a sniper rifle [a mod that can be dropped on...like a powerup maybe?] you need Assault 3
For one, i think this would be a neat idea to make for swg....and complicated hehe
we can only wish...

Anything that is acknowledged in the star wars universe, the devs can add it if they wish becuase the "dc-17" isnt the intelectual property of any one else but lucas arts . If the devs wanted to add it, but had second thoughts, they could contact lucas arts and im 100% sure it would be O.K'ed.
Look at composite! There isnt any other game with that kind of armor nor any character I know in the sw universe. The thing is, even if the devs SOMEHOW couldnt add it because its in another game for what ever reason that has not NOT let them, they would just make some cheap knock off but with the same outcome.

Yes... and the bonearmor have been around how long??? 
I think that the dc-17 is a great idea the best thing that could happen for the Commando profssion (much more starwars like than the flamethrower that allmost everybody runs around with. I say put the DC-17 in master Commando box.

utcast i like the idea of a dc-17 but ive grown attacht to the blaster the only weapon that can whip the floor of jedis with its secondary attack the only way to dodge its secondary move is to send it bak at ya jk was a great game maybe the devs should look at that game closer they already toke out the disruptor rifle take the heavy reapter blaster
