Commando Archive

All im interested in is novice commando so I can get a cool launcher pistol are they worth it? ill be pistoleer and rifleman at the same time.

You can get an FWG5 with similar stats to a LP, slightly higher damage but slower speed. If they ever make the ATSTs blast vulnerable and you are a rebel it might be worth it. Otherwise you might be better off using all those unarmed combat and novice commando skill points on something else like smuggler and pistoleer specials and mods.

Just for info, I Last Ditched for 3480 with my FWG5 once and had a few around 3k dmg. But for sure u can have better results with a Launcher with more max dmg.

You guys are forgetting something...the launcher is blast damage. AT/ST's and other large structures are about to have that as their ONLY vulnerability. Seems that the launcher will be the tool of choice for hitting blast vulnerable targets, especially if you have smuggler or pistoleer specials to multiply damage. If you aren't hitting blast vulnerable target, a top end FWG5 is probably just as good, with less HAM costs.

However, for PvP, you should consider using an AP1 pistol, since any armor will cut your damage in half with the AP0 LP.

On that note. the LP should really, really be AP1. I believe it's the only pistol that requires an elite profession to use, but is AP0. Perhaps the only ranged weapon at all like that.

Ummm nothing can touch a pimped out launcher pistol... you kiddin me? I've fallen in love with this thing!

I completely agree. I love Last Ditching with a Launch Pistol for over 2k.
