No, I assure you, it isn't the Jetpack Trooper from Academy. That is a Dark Trooper. Heck, it even says Dark Trooper, and looks just like one save for the fact they got the color wrong and the fact it doesn't use its assault cannon. But I digress!

 

Anyway, yes, that is a Dark Trooper. I would if I were you probably use the color scheme from Dark Forces and use the model as a reference. But that's just me.

 

You should have Hapslash do the Dark Trooper. He'll get it right. :)

Well, as I said above, the Dark Troopers (abbrev. DT) only appeared in Dark Forces (abbrev. DF).

Any others are just modified Stormtroopers. point.

Unless i'm wrong :D

 

Sorry Fracman, but you are wrong :p I have Galactic Battlegrounds (the RTS using the AOE2 engine) and one of the Imperial special units is a Phase 2 Dark Trooper. Unfortunately it only has a blaster, not a plasma cannon :( I guess the developers didn't do their research...

Well, for the record, Corto is using Justin Chins original artwork and the DF sprites as reference.

An intelligent move~

He must have the Dark Forces playuers guide or something then, it has neato concept art in there

Hey there...

 

Actually I wanted to ask for permission to edit the stormtrooper model included in the DF Demo and make a Sand Trooper out of it.

 

 

But now that I know that HapSlash is working on a Sandtrooper I gues that won't be necessary anymore :>

 

btw: Great Work!

After the destruction of the Arc Hammer, the DarkTrooper project was largely scrapped. But the R&D was still there, and as you can see, there were further uses of DarkTrooper-like technology. To quote Kyle Katarn "Black Armor?! Not again!" The Darktroopers were just a bit ahead of their time, too expensive for massive deployment, and when controlled by the droid brain they could be outsmarted by particularly reasourceful beings. Hence, we see Dark Trooper-like technology in other parts of the Star Wars world.

 

Seriously though, the troopers in JA were harder than the Jedi IMO. Those Conc Rifles could fry you fast, requiring actual forethough and care, wheras the dark jedi were simple saberplay. So maybe the empire WAS onto something.

I recommend you guys play DF if you havent already, although its graphics are not the best and u may not have sound, nothing is gonna set a better example than the actual DT from the original DF....after all isnt this mod supposed to recreate that classic?
