While I like your ideas (and you deffinetly put a lot of thought into them), I can't say they would be good for the profession. I very much doubt snipers would work in game. I've heard people on these forums saying that they wanted snipers with a one shot kill ability. This would be nice, but hugely unfair the the rest of the players. However, with out this abilites or ones close in power to it, the sniper would not be able to be of any use in pvp.

I also think think the devs name us Riflemen for a reason. We were not meant to be snipers, we were simply meant to be fighters who fought using long range rifles. In our earlier stages we fired slowly, but as we got better we learned to fire fully-automatic (T-21 at master ). I honestly do not think the sniper would work, and that our profession as it stand now works well enough.

Also about the SX-451, You know the Squad Leaders and Commands were trying for a while to get the E-web as a weapons, dont know where that went. Dont know how that would affect us or them, though it looks like taking a 50 cal machine gun and making it a sniper rifle... hehe

This special backpack gives the Rifle user the ability to fire the T21 each second, due to its replenishing supply of energy. However the rate of fire cannot be sustained forever, it needs to cool down before you can make such a deadly firing sequence again. The backpacks are buyable from a recruiter, and require you to be in factional armor to wear it

What us wooks who dont have factional armor?

Ive been trying to come up with a solution for wookies regarding the backpack, although your suggestions are as good as mine, I thought about somekind of armor segment like the wookiee bountyhunter Snoova has. Although I doubt the empire would allow wookiees to equip such items of war. *ponder, boggle*

I really support the commando's to get the E-web as a weapon, but this sniper rifle (as seen in the description) would become the Anti E-web Weapon

Ive looked everywhere for designs or looks of the sniper rifle, and I could not find it. Dont know if it exist in a visual form, or its hidden in lucasfiles. In anycase Ive dug up my old starwars action figure collections from years and years back. Took all the badass weaponry looking like big rifles or sniper rifles, and started to make some design scetches. The more work we take off the devs hands, the better

Limit the Eweb to like 58m so we can counter it, cause I know some people though of camping Starports with the weapon.

Mabey Just having to be overt for wookiees, but the devs would probably be to lazy to add the code to allow it...

I have heard that wookiees MIGHT get special Mission armor (Like RIS and Mando) dunno how that will affect things. Actually if you look, some of the other species cant wear all the ST armor, so that could also affect things.

oops, guess i should have read the fine print about needingcamo kit

Still, a couple questions:

1) will a rifleman need a guile suit for each planet he hunts on?

2) what will the guile suit do that is different from camo?

3) would affect Cover mod.?

On a different note, I don't know if this is something the devs will do if there conception of ranger camo is the same as this.

My $.02

In your oppinions, have I balanced out the skills, by giving power but introducing a large weakness and vica versa?

Lets ask a pistoleer to check it out.

Well I am not happy with you messing around with Marksman mods, I don't mind moving the certs around but grinding up rifles in marksman was a bit of a pain doing it the fun way and not the grind way, with your changes to Rifle Speed being lumped to +15 in one spot and removing one +5 Rifle speed in novice marksman will make it a bit harder to go up the Rifles 1-4 tree, I am still in favor of +5 Rifle speed in Novice marksman, and one in Rifles 1, 2, 3, 4 each as is currently in the game. I actually think that the Marksman tree of Rifles is fine, and already a bit hard to go up, as is with other professions in the novice catergory. Remember most of the novice grind is done without armor and without buffs. Also most of the other novice professions get like 80% of their weapons in the novice branch, although I must also say that most of those are not really used until you hit novice of your profession and/or higher. This is very true with rifleman, I used a DLT20 to grind up Rifles, along with a spraystick. Now when I hit Novice rifleman, I used a speed sliced laser, and a tusken.

Ive split 5 speed to make it more gradual change, and moved 10 block to militairy training

in my opinion, there should be no way someone can knockdown someone who is prone or in cover...

Ill fix the few mistakes
