Check out my other post...if you read the preface and our answer you can possibly gather:
- We will be getting new specials or our specials will be "altered"
- The CB will be a "major" change for our profession....subtle hint?
- Some of us will be able to test and report back on the CB before it officially launches with Publish 10 (we don't have to wait untilpublish 10 toknow specifics regarding the Combat Balance)
- TH may be dropping a hint in the end that some new content coming out, like the DW, could be Commando friendly…this maymean there might be high level content with low level Heat resists.
Not the great response I was hoping for...but it did seem chalked with subtle hints...

I hate subtle hints...
...ok they cant post specifics...
...but hint at specifics (like abilities...specials...LP?? or a new AR?? or a combination of HAR/FT??....gernades?? specials for hvy weapons??....the list goes on and on...)...
...we've had enough hinting at the big picture for more than one can swallow..gets old after a few months

I have a feeling that the answers where going to be vague (Someone got a sock puppet?), for the simple reason that there are no plans for commando in the near future.
Each and everyday I give people the run around for various questions they pose to me. And I can say with pretty much certainty, judging by the lack of hard answers....that there are probably no answers to be had.
I just checked the in Concept page:
http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/content.jsp?page=In%20Concept
All the way down at the bottom, you will see this nice little tid bit for publish 11: "will be considered for the month of January and implemented in March.". It also indicates the following will be up for changes/consideration.
# Player Roles in the Galactic Civil War
# Faction Points, Faction Perks and/or Faction Equipment
# Player versus Player Combat
# Player Professions involvement in the GCW
# Combat Roles in the GCW
It is now april, and we have yet to see anything of the combat balance. Now simple math indicates that We are seeing a publish once every month for the past couple of months, so we are looking into August for our bones.
Now speaking not only as a commando, but also as a customer. I would expect that if they had anything really in the works and semi-solidified it would be dragged out into the open. This would entice us to spend that extra $45 bucks ( for many of us $90 bucks) to see just what is comming up.
If in fact we are going to be getting new weapons, skills and altered specials, how about a time line that we can expect these, what type of weapons? What do I have to look forward to besides the mystical CB? So in response to our specific questions we get the following answer:
"TH: There will definitely be changes to the weapons in all professions and since the Commando is a very combat oriented profession, the CB will definitely be a big change in the Commando experience.
Wait until the combat balance you will see.
What they will be exactly will really start to take shape during the combat balance.
Wait until the combat balance you will see.
There are many ideas for all the specials that will be experimented with throughout this process.
We don't know, but wait for the combat balance and you wil see...
Since it is such an important issue, we will be giving access to a special test server where correspondents and veteran testers can help with the feedback.
When those activities take place, the community can look for updates and news posts about the ongoing progress as well as respond to upcoming CB In-Development threads. As to the degree of how profound this change will be is something I will be working with the correspondents on.
Wait until just before the combat balance and you will see.
On the issue of specific Commando content, I would say that there is a drive to develop combat oriented content almost constantly. On the near horizon, there is the Death Watch Bunker and the GCW revamp which I am sure will feel the boot heels of many commandos.
It would appear that the GCW revamp and the combat combat balance are one and the same, again wait. Also the DW bunker, might give you something...but we can't really tell you
Now, the whole reply boils down to "Wait until the CB, until then...go clone at the DW bunker.
-eakop-
*Wanna throw me a bone? Make sure that initial damage from commandos fire dot special land on the same ham bar as the dot....kinda like a riflemen bleed*.
