let's see how the whole commando community likes this:





replace the flamethrower, it is one of the least star warsy weapons in the whole game, give commando somthing else, some suggestions for a replacement: (these are unlimeted ammo weapons)


Stouker concussion rifle:


AP2


damage type: depends, if it hits dead on it does energy, within 5m, blast, within 10m kinetic


optimal range: 55m


max: 64 (duhh)


min (heres the tricky part): 11m if you dont want to get hurt in the blast


general charecteristics:damage range simalar to the flamethrower, nice radius but 5.0 speed is the best you can hope for.



Golan arms fletchett launcher

AP:0

damage type: kinetic


optimal range 16m


max 64m


raduis 5m (means everything in a 5m cone gets hit,)


general charecteristics: damage at about 500, it gives commandos somthing to deal with close range targets, speed is around 2.5 at the fastest so it packs a punch, but it is affected by the DAMAGE DROP OFF! that means that if your point blank you'll do a **edit**load of damage, at 64m you'd be lucky to put a dent a suit of bone armour.



E-Web blaster:


AP3


damage type: energy


optimal range: 64m


max range 64m


min:15m


general charecteristics: has a 25 second set up time and has no specials but packs a friggin punch, dosnt stand aa chance VS a melee who gets in range (also has a 25 second put away timer) has a speed ranging from 1.5 to 4.0 and does around 1000 damage




imperial heavy repeater:



AP:1


optimal range: 32m


max 64


charecteristics: standard weapon, would be the average weapon used, speed cap fire is nearly constant and it does around 300 damage, BUT: the gun would be wayyyyyyyyyy too boring if it were just like this, so we'll add a grenade barrel to it! you would put a grenade onto the gun and the barrel would be "loaded" with grenades, you'd get the "launch grenade" special at novice , the grenades would have added range at a reduced action cost when launched from the grenade barrel, also you'd get a new grenade to go with the gun spesificly: the weight grenade (you know the 2nd fire on the imp repeater in JK:A) it shootsa large bomb that explodes in a purple/black color and weighs a ton so it crushes its target

I love the flamethrower... and even in the futuristic world of SW, fire can still burn things... In fact I haven't had this much fun play SWG like I have with commando... And the flamer is a part of this... although, if they switched up the weapon to be something a little more sci-fi, I'd be cool with that, just make sure it is bada$$ like the flamer...

I wouldn't mind a change of the flamethrower to something more Sci-Fi, but it would have to keep all the same stats...

I kind of like being a Pyro though

I like being a pyro too, but at this point I would welcome any change to our profession other than a nerf. The real problem is getting any of these things implemented. They are good ideas,but if by some miraclethe DEVsmade these changes, they would be nerfed in a week. I would really like to see some changes to the profession... Oh yeah...


GO E-WEB! I know we'll get the E-Web... I'm hanging in there...

I tell you if I was in a sci-fi movie the only **edit** weapon I would want is a flamethrower


Starship Troops as an example, MI units woulda been real men if they had /flamesingle2.


Very old Aliens arcade game, the flamethrower was the **edit** in that game.


I love the flamethrower, but I think it shouldn't be a standard weapon, we need some sort of 'assault weapon'.

Why is it unstarwarsy? Jango Fett nearly toasted Obi-Wan with a flamethrower. Of course he was a Bounty Hunter not a Commando. One has to wonder? Was Jango Fett a dabbler? hehe

Aha, thats why he was so uber. He only took investigation 3 to grief jedi.



Ancient weapons and hokey religions are no match for a rocket launcher in your backpack.

What it indicates to me is that at some point, some person said to himself, "Look at all those people across the road. What i wouldn't give to set them on fire. But i'm much to far away. If only there was some device that would shoot flames on them"

I'd personally love to see the Concussion RIfle replace the FT. or any of those weapons for that matter. Anyone who's played the Dark Forces games knows that the concussion rifle = fun! Oh look, two sitlords standing on a ledge... *KABLAM* Where'd they go? Hehe, gotta love the massive AE damage it caused. In terms of damage it wouldwould be like a ranged FT with AP3 (if they did it right) except it would AEon impact instead of in a cone. Can't forget secondary firing mode either...
