Hello,


I don't know if I am behind the curve with this post or not but here it goes.


I have read on the Forum of players wanting a uber commando to compete against the Jedi and I have heard of a Super Commando mentioned a few times.


Well, to make this story short I picked up a copy of the latest Star Wars Insider and they had a story about the history of the Mandolorians and it talks of Alpha 02 ( a Jango Fett clone recreating the Mandolorian Super Commandos ). These aren't the Death Watchmen but some did become Super Commandos. They believed in a strong code of morals but some where mercenaries. The story also tells how they were a match for the Jedi. The story also shows several different sets of armor, Crusader, Neo-Crusader, and Death Watchman (Boba Fett Armor almost).


If SWG wanted to make a Super Commando using all the skill points like the Jedi they could easily do it using the Death Watch Bunker. Say a loot item from a high level NPCgives upthe training and moral code of the Mandolorian Super Commandos and it sends the player on quests, much like the Jedi do now, and opens up a previously hidden tree or several hiddentrees tochoose from much like the Jedi to create your own individual Super Commando. But you have to beMaster Commando to start down the path. Also any arguments of continuity from the movies is taken care of since the history is in the Star Wars Insider. Just like Luke evidently is not the last of the Jedi on SWG, Boba Fett should not be the last of the Mandolorians.


Someone has probably already brought this up and I missed it but just in case they haven't it might be a thought for the Dev's to look into.

Giving another choice for the endgame may help release the BH - Jedi tension, but how the Super Commando comes into this without intruding on BH grounds might be hard to balance.

The idea is very nice though, it just comes down to balance issues. The BH's wouldn't be happy if Super Commando's did their job, just better; we'd also have to factor in some sort of visibility such as in Jedi, or at least turn down the power, or we'll have a mass of Jedi refugees fleeing to this new class.

Looking good in concept though.

This could be implimented by making the prereq part of BH, and part of Commando. A kind of Super Hybrid/Elite.

If you want to hunt jedi become a BH. Sad that every prof wants to hunt jedi.

Nobody says they have to hunt Jedi I just put it there to show how strong they werefrom the story I read. Not to mention there are a lot of complaints about the Jedi going around killing players and only groups of players are able to compete with them. Imps and Rebs alike.


The process could be quite difficult, just look at the amount of Jet packs you see on the servers. LOL


The pointof a super commando might be a waste of time after the CU comes out anyway.


Everyone wants to take on the biggest kid on the block to prove themselvesand right now that is Jedi light or dark.

Players complaining of having to group to defeat jedi are dumb.


However, I like the idea of end game classes. Nothing to compete with jedi cuss thats stupid, I mean, I dont even think I should explain why its dumb, if you want to take out a super high level jedi, then group you goofball. Hybrids that advance the given prof a lot (If it has to be calculated to jedi, say it makes the player as good as two players) and give them a better sense of being like: special weapons beyond the hybrid's ones, unique armour or clothing depending on the class (for commando, totally republic commando armour kinda thing ^_^).


(WARNING: This part is completely pointless, you can ignore this part, I just feel like rambling a ton)


But all in all, I dont even care about this idea, I just want tons and tons of different looking armour, same stats, but tons and tons of looks. Thats the only thing that I envy in jedis, they can all look unique and cool while all the other classes are in that ugly comp armour. And all the other armours are lame too. The new faction armour looks bad ass for rebs, make more cool suff thats not even faction. And decals, and rank color lines. Oh and have it when you go into first person, depending on the helmet, the world looks different. Say mando helmet, will have like your health bar and random stat stuff on cool holo sensors, and you can see where the visor is and the rest of the armour on your head is so its not like a boring lame camera view. Comp helm could have a sweet like orange targeterkinda view to the world since it has that little glowy eye thing. What else to ramble about...um oh yeah, tka weapons and the ones that look in concept are retarded, make cool melee weapons that are blunt-like and somtimes cover the feet too. Just sweet fingertiplessgloves with metal sonic plates, not some lame weapon you have to hold, its freaking unarmed. Okey and hair styles (OMFG Jeebus) give us cool hair. I don't evenhave an example, I guess look at cool young characters in general that are in games and rpgs now a days. And goggles. I guess thats all for now...no wait..no nm. *sigh*


ramble ramle ramble....

Crackpot idea hah. It is actually in the Star Wars story so why can't we have one or two.


I would rather spend all my skill points on a cool super commando instead of Jedi anyday. Especially if they got cool Mando armor.


I love the idea and Iwish they would implement it.
