We have one of the most recognisable weapons in the starwars world to our disposal, the E11 could also be modified for sniper use. For instance in Jedi Knight,...Mysteries of the Sith I believe, you could retrieve a modified E11, or a sniperscope.....I cant exactly remember wich it was, was so long ago...you could actually go sniping with that E11 with high powerd slow shots. Then there was one of the Comics I read, Splinters of the Minds eye....Leia tried to snipe down Vader, though she missed and only grazed his cape. (weither that is due to the E11 or her being a bad shot..I prefer the second option =] ).
The E11 is also one of my favourite weapons when it comes to the fps series

Let me know when you do the Commando template too. I'm kind of interested in it. Though before that it has to be decided if Commandos are going to be like real Commandos or be Hvy Weapon specialists.

Karden, if you're interested, perhaps I can email or PM you my Commando template when/if I get working on it.

Karden, Waste93,
I'll get cracking on it as soon as I have some spare time. Between work and moving, I'm a bit busy this week, but I should be able to start on something. As for the "essence" of the Commando, I see no reason why we can't make it into a blend of a "Commando" (i.e. Navy SEAL, DELTA Operator,Ranger, etc.)and a Heavy Weapons Specialist. With the ideas I have in mind, hopefully we can reach a middle ground. If anything, I think Commando should blend seamlessly with the other ranged professions; or at the very least, it should complement Rifleman, since BH covers Carb and Pistol, and Smuggler meshes with Pistol also. I'll send ideas as I get 'em.
Good luck. Commandos suffer a bit of an identity crisis I believe. Half want hvy weapons, the other want real Commando style abilities. In many cases they don't blend. You're going to have your work cut out for 'ya but best of luck.
However that question absolutely needs to be answered before they can be fixed.

Just a quick comment on the Block animation- there is an animation for it in-game. However, I do not recall having ever seen it with a rifle in my hands. With a Polearm, that's a totally different story. I'd say the animation looks like it'd fit just fine with rifles too, so if brought to the Devs' attention(and if they care enough to fix it), I would think this should be a very simple fix. Like the SS2 animation. But better.

great post Karden. I haven't actually started my rifleman yet, i need a third acount first, so i don't know how it is currently. If all or any of these ideas get implimented then i think i will love rifleman.

Good luck with the rewrite. If you need any help with it, just give me a yell, I'll be glad to contribute anything I can.

Thought Ide bump this once more, the recent news that our elected correspondant wont be out there ( althought Im glad Guruweaver will be out there to fight the battle for us, remind me to send cookies ^_^) was very unfortunate 
.
So...while Im rewriting the proposal, I ask my fellow Rifleman out there, to offer any more imput you have, weither it to be negative or positive. Im very detirmined to have this profession flourish in its own way.
