Has anyone confirmed whether these can only be used by BH / Smugglers?

Smugglers deserved this. They have a very low amount of damage output. BH's however...ugh, they have the LLC, one of the best and most damaging weapons in the game. This Suicide droid should have been extended to Carbineers, Pistoleers and some of the Melee Professions like Fencer (??is that right??), Heavy Swordsman and possibly Polearmsman


HEHE, I would say the Commandos should have access to high explosive devices, but then I am biased cause my alt is one...

Thanks, I've read the focus thread, I was curious if a non smuggler or bh had tried to use one though.

I tried it with my DE...it just doesn't give you the Options Menu to control the Explosives.

I think it is some kind of sick joke that Commandos cannot use them.


Commandos for crying out loud!!!

Maybe Commandos will be able to use some "special" combat droid.


To me, a Commando is the one who knows the most about battle. A Commando is intelligent in warfare, knowledgable about weapons and armor, and has the ability to lead a group of misfits into battle and come out as the winners. Sure you have Scout Leaders, but they are a bit more, in my mind, the fluffy type of leader. They aren'tas knowledgable about combatas much as a Commando.


A Commando is able to cope with pain better than any other person of a different profession. Being wounded or suffering missing limbs, they will dredge on dragging themselveson their stomach if they need to in order to complete their task.


With these facts, I can only conclude that Commandos will have true Battle Droids available to them, and to them only at some point. Perhaps a floating-type of Explosive Seeker Droid available to be launched from up to 800 meters. Perhaps a type of Mortar Launcher droid. Perhaps even the ability to control a squad of Battle Droids at once, offering orders and commands to the droids, building a relationship with their squad, getting better and better at player-programmed tactics as time goes on. Perhaps they will have a combat-type of vehicle available to Commandos. Like a swoop bike with rockets or Blaster Cannons or something.


I think Commandos are overlooked regarding their theoretical power and knowledge.

Is their a way to train them to detonate on a command? Or do we need to be within a few meters of the droid (if we ahve to be withing a few meters of the droid to use the radial menus this droid is

its the only way i could get it to detonate. It was nice when it did. but why can't we detnoate them via a command?

"/detonatedroid"

or you know the tilde ("~") opens the radial menu w/o holding down the mouse button.

as was mentioned, the /detonatedroid command. All you have to do is have the droid targeted (range of 150m)

Let me guess, you're trying to make a point?
