Pikeman Archive

With the introduction of mounts imminent, its time to wish and dream again. Please add your wants and dreams for a better Pikeman. Please, no more HAM/Accuracy comments. No whining.

PikeSWAT

With the introduction of mounts and player cities, comes the need for policing. Pikemen will enjoy a new ultra class, PikeSWAT. Mounted bringers of the law for the newly founded towns. Astride an armored mount, the newly created PikeSWAT rule law and order. Bad guys in town? Whoopin' and hollerin' and generally being a pain in the butt? Local militia woefully inequiped to deal with the onslaught? Enter PikeSWAT. Naa Naa Naaa (feel free to sing along. Those old enough can sing the 70's version, younger can rap the recent offering).

SWATLance

The newly created weapon, for the newly created ultra class, is the SWATLance. Useable only by the PikeSWAT. Similar in design to the Gungan Mounted military weapon, can deliver a stun on contact. Damage is minimal, but stun is guaranteed. Useful for prodding along the baddies. Repeated applications of the stun will result in the baddie becoming incapped, and the PikeSWAT will be able to drag incapped player to the city limits. This dragging will, of course, cause wound damage, as well as damge any armor the baddie is wearing.

Other Cool SWATGear

PikeSWAT will also be equipped with some crowd control devices. SWATSmoke - when deployed will billow out, rendering the baddies radar null and void. Tab tracking will also be unavailable. PikeSWAT of course, will have night goggles to allow baddie tracking. SWATWeb - when deployed will create a mass of sticky webbing, incapping the baddie, allowing for the super fun drag, but allows for no wound damage.

PikeSWAT will, of course be under the command of the city (somehow), and can only be deployed by a command from the city. This keeps the PikeSWAT pure and keeps us from riding around webbing and dragging everyone. Baddies are warned to leave, given a time limit, then PikeSWAT is deployed. We could be like volunteer firemen and get a tell to spring into action.

Naa Naa Naaaa....

I'm sure these have come up before, but:

More weapons, imperial guard weapons, imperial sentinal weapons, ect

more armor, imp guard like armor, stuff that has low ham costs and looks good. composite is about the coolest looking armor out there but I can wear a full suit becaue I'll kill my self in two moves. Padded and marambi just looks goofy.

Some cool hats.

PikeSWAT? I see a fencer/pistoleer as more of a police type profession than pikeman. They have stun batons and pistols (like police actually do). I see us being more as a guard type profession. Great for escort and defending bases and such.
