I thought btw we agreed in my topic in SW lore area that we'd use the cylindrical shaped detonator for the ST's and the other one for other stuff?

the white cilinder is the TD for the ST's

Well the Rebels won't use the thermal detonators since they can't afford it. IIRC one thermal det alone costs 800-1000 Imperial Credits, whereas a weaker grenade like the concussion might cost 200 credits.

yes, maybe don't use the same one for both factions, but every faction his own ones

Hi Dragunov. We use The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology as our guide for most of the weapons that we create, and nothing in this book contradicts the use of the type of thermal det that we created by the stormtroopers. Additionally, if you look at different references, you will see that there are different colors of thermal detonators, not only the gold shiny version you see Boussh weilding in the movies. Thanks for the comments though, we appreciate all of the input

this a thermal detonator used by rebels, scum, smugglers, bandits, bounty hunters, not used by imperial troops

pic below is the imperial detonator:

and also the thermal detonator looks like this (I mean the color of course ):

Happy New Year everybody! We have a New Year's surprise for everyone. We have gotten a new set of forums, that look much cleaner and are more organized than the ones from before. You can find them here.

http://www.tpfclan.net/fsforums/index.php

As always, be sure to stay tuned for the latest updates on our site as well. This is the link for our site.

http://www.totalbf2.com/firststrike/

Make sure you register to our forums and stay tuned for the latest updates, as well as suggest new ideas for the mod. As always, we have goodies to show off for this update. So here they here.

This is the Wookiee Ryyk Blade. It will be the melee weapon of the Wookiee Engineer. There is no standard Ryyk Blade shape. Each one is unique, with the user modifying it to his/her own likings.

This is the Thermal Detonator. Thermal Detonators will be carried by the Stormtroopers. They are very deadly, and anything within the blast radius can be heavily damaged.

This is the Sonic Detonator. You may remember it from Republic Commando. It will be used by the Imperial Officer. Sonic Detonators are very deadly. They can rupture organic tissue causing massive pain, and maybe even death.

This is the Flash-Bang Detonator, also from Republic Commando. The Flash-Bang Detonator will be used by the Stormtroopers and the Rebel Troopers. Flash-Bang Detonators aren't deadly at all. Instead, upon explosion the detonator releases a blinding light and ear-piercing noise which is capable of temporarily stunning and disorienting targets.

We've also updated the Factions, Classes, and Weapons sections, so be sure to check those out. That's it for now. Take care.
