yaebginn Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 ok, for the Imps? I think that they're pretty cool, beter than stormies. I think they will also be way overused. Them and dark troopers. you got AIM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 but scout's helmets are way better! the stormies helmets are too hard to see out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 The Scout Trooper's helmet is far more difficult to see out of. If you listened to a conversation between two Snowtroopers in Jedi Academy, you'll hear a Snowtrooper say that he tried out for the Scout Trooper corps, but when he put on the helmet he couldn't see and caused a huge speeder bike pile-up.

SITH_ShadowCat Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I remember reading some where that the reason they have visor and the side things on the helmet is so they can focus on whats ahead of them rather then above or beside when they're speeding on the speeder bikes. Kinda works like the the horse eye covers blocking the sides of the horse's vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesdomain Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Scout Troopers are awesome. I love them. Armor is cool! I will probably use that trooper the most on the empire and maybe the tie fighter pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortoCG Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I don't know why would it be more difficult to see with a scout helmet. First off the visor is bigger, secondly it's supposed that the frontal section of the helmets can be lifted. Why would the empire give to the biker scouts helmets hard to see with. I mean, they speed race through a dense maze of trees, they must have the most accurate vision of all troopers together with pilots, their helmets should the bests out there. Anyone shares my point?

yaebginn Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 yeah, they are way easier to see out of. with a stormie, it's like trying to look out of a bucket with two holes drilled in. its way harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point. All SW helmets, though, are made like that for the looks, they are useless in real life. In fact I think the only usable helmet in real life woul be the scouts' helmet, it looks very similar to a motocross biker's helmet. Helmet aside, the outfit of the scout trooper is the best by far. The fact that they don't have stupid armor on their legs should allow them move more quickly and be more agile, hence be more effective in battle. In SW though, they're as useless as any imperial trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I liked the scout trooper uniform. I always seemed to me the scout troopers were more intelligent than stormtroopers. Maybe that is just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8252 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 That was great when Han was sneaking up behind an unsuspecting Scout Trooper, steps on a twig, and the Scout Trooper gives Han a nice back-hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 You really don't see any hand-to hand combat between the rebels and empire in the films. Just shoot with weapons! That scene is a classic in ROTJ. Gotta love a scout trooper smacking han. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDKnite188 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 No doubt that Scout Troops are awesome. Add a speeder bike and sniper rifle and the possibilities are endless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtuosis Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Its harder to see out of because of the little side and top thingys blocking the peripherial vison. But the scout uniforms always have been the coolest in my mind, but all the empires uniforms are made for look not functionality. Oh well though, It's still the coolest uniform I've ever seen.

THE BADGER: Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Well since there is no recoil, and they have a recon droid, I will play with them the most. I mean you can snipe, shoot up close and call orbital strike. You can even use the droid as a weapon, it has a small gun on it as well. The best class in my opinion.

I have fait in the balancing capability's of Pandamic. I don't think they will be an alround unit, You can only call in an orbital strike if you're moving you recondroid, so you won't be able to defend yourself at all. I guess the strike itself has some kind of warning before it comes (maybe a big shadow). And last, the scouts will probably have very weak armor.
