Q: Can you recharge Commando consumable weapons with charges?
A: No.

Give artisans or weapon smiths the ability to make rockets, power units and acid tanks for consumable weapons. A way that does not involve 4 factory runs. This way we still have a consumable aspect to the weapon without making them such a pain for weapon smiths. If this solution throws the weapon too far out of balance (i.e. everyone and their mother would be using nothting but the heavy weapons) make the ammo resources planet specific to keep the price up, or add a faster decay rate to the weapon itself.

I realize the consumable weapons need to be difficult to obatain because of their damage, but considering the accuracy, 1000-1500 credits per use might be a bit on the steep side.

I don't think so. You have to consider everything when you consider useing one. I love the rocket launcher and would seriously love a non-consumable flamethrower style one that you mount on your shoulder and shoot dumbfire rockets at your enemys with. I dunno, but I love the weapons price and all.

I do too. I have 3 rocket launchers and three HPCs in my pack as of this post. But, many commandos do not spend the time in game that I and other nut jobs do and don't have the resources that allow them to make the heavy weapons a viable option.

The biggest problem I have found with commandos is the lack of focus on any weapon other then the flame thrower. This skews everyones view of our profession, indeed our view of ourselves. We need reasons for people to use the other commando weapons. This seems like a good solution for the heavy weapons.

I also liked the suggestion I saw somwhere about combining the flame thrower and HAR branches and making room for a launcher pistol branch. But, that is a seperate discussion.

This is why dabblers will never truely be better then masters, they will run towards me with their flamethrower and I will unload a rocket on them and they will wonder **edit** I did. I say who cares what the dabblers do? They will always be at an advantage because I know the weaknesses of every type of weapon

Another commando friend of mine came up with another suggestion. He would keep the idea of crafted ammo, but thinks we should go to a single launcher tube with the different ammo types. But, to keep the balance, he would have you load each round indvidualy. Perhaps selecting the crate of ammo to load the weapon.

Although now that I think about it, the delay could just be a bit longer and the animation changed to represent this. Still, a good idea I thought. A way to bring the price down, but the "cost" of using the weapons would still be high.
