Topic: Commandos in FS?

As you might be able to tell from me screen name I am a big fan of Star Wars: Republic Commando. FS has knocked my socks off so far and I've been hankering to have a taste of RC within the FS universe.

So I'v been pondering the possibility of putting Commandos a la RC into FS. I'm wondering how they would fit into the lore of SW at this point in the saga. I would assume that the clone's lifespan would be at an end by now but that perhaps the Storm Troopers might have specially trained Commando units (perhaps the Rebels as well)?

If so, I think it would be a fun class to play as. Picture perhaps a standard trooper but with special weapons designed for stealth and spec ops type behind the scenes play.

For example a Commando trooper might have ...

- Binoculars w/ night vision switch and extended view range
- Sniper attatchment for Blaster (perhaps the blaster is not as strong as most and the sniper attache does not see as far or do quite as much damage as the regular sniper rifle, for the sake of balance?)
- Multiple grenade types (emp, fragment, thermal)
- Recon drone for advanced targeting and tracking
- Specialized armor designed to blend/ cammo with given environment

Just thinking out loud here and curious to see what other might think and if something like this might fit with FS.

I figured it might ;-) Maybe I should have just posted ...

Are there commando units in SW lore during and after Episode IV?

Re: Commandos in FS?

As you already said, it doesn't fit into this era. Maybe if the Devs are kind enough (time to spend and the will-power) we might get the clone wars one day(my favorite era). Being a Super Battledroid is kinda cool, isn't it? And I love the ARC-170 and the Jedi-Starfighter. Realizing this would take another two years of development I guess, so I wouldn't expect too much right now.

Re: Commandos in FS?

Well, the era of interest for the devs does have commando's: Storm Commando's/Shadow Scouts. As for the Rebel counterpart you have SpecForce/SpecOps which have different groups of specific fields they train themselves for. Space, Urban, Wilderness... you get the idea.

A fitting map would be Coruscant, but that's easier said than done. smile
