    Yeah that's the group I was thinking of, just couldn't remember the name! I'm assuming tomorrow we will get a video of na2 units/upgrades and while I know the chances are low I'd love for there to be a new na2 army!

    At last the vid came, but was nothing of interest (only Helots). Maybe next book will bring some stuff to NA2 (I hope druze related :pray:) but, for the moment I'll be satisfied with the narrative and to find out how mercenaries did.

    What about some "Silent Assassin",
    like someone that can really hurt someone with a bow?

    Thats something that would be kinda "new" to the game,
    and you don't need new mechanics,
    just (at first glance) powerful skill combos balanced by a limited weapon-loadout:

    As weapons just a bow and a knife (silent, you know).

    Then you go for Full Auto Level 1 (or 2), Marksmanship Level X and X-Visor,
    so the bow becomes finally useable.
    ("He is so fast with his bow, it's like he is on full auto...")

    If you want to make it scarier,
    just add Marksmanship Level 1 or 2 and/or a MSV,
    maybe even Fatality Level 1 (or 2).

    Of course some good BS and PH is necessary,
    as well as some level of Infiltration and Camo or even Impersonation (for Silent as well).

    Maybe add some i-Kohl, MA (Silent) and/or Natural Born Warrior (Knife-kills, yeah!)
    and Hyper-Dynamics (and Kinematica) to dodge,
    and some Smoke to vanish/re-Camo/re-Impersonate.

    Yeah, looooots of skills, but if this (silent) Merc got only a bow and a knife...?

    A mercenary, not a remote, with baggage. I can see it now: man/wonan with utility belts, bandoliers and backpack stuffed wit spare panzerfausts, DEP, mines, grenades d-charges. Just make sure he has good physical, maybe a fast panda.

    More decommissioned/Merc TAGs just to see more variety in designs. Maybe something with a long rifle of sorts, meant as a heavier anti-materiel sniper?

    A Multi-Sniper Rifle with Fatality L1 would be boss!

    A character maybe? "The Fence"
    A fairly generic profile, A Ojotnik, Scavenger, Baggage and a Fast Panda/Wild Parrot?

    All I can think of now is the Northstar

    Legit.

    Honestly I was thinking more like an open-cockpit rollcage with a targeting array headset for the pilot, and a shoulder-mount that looks more like a battleship howitzer or railgun. Legs that look like they came off an old Anaconda or similar chassis, with the pilot basically having to strip the thing almost to the frame to tolerate the weight and recoil of the big gun.

    he better be, Baggage allows to casevac (ie. tow a KO unit) without PH restrictions. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

    perhaps a Strong Man type, like Hugo Girard or Louis Cyr

    Sounds like you're looking for the blackjack.

    Well I certainly LIKE the blackjack from a design standpoint, that I won't deny at all.

    Scavenger is nice touch.

    Exactly. The model could even be the guy/gal with a linetrooper slung over his/her shoulder.

    No lethal weapon, but 6-2 MOV. It's like sprinting around the battlefield and being tuckered out.

    :-) Not exactly the strong man, but he just popped up in my mind.

    Already kind of have it with an Ikadron. Wish I could take that as a Merc!

    Personally I'd like to see DBS get expanded with some new options to round out the sectoral. While what's there is rock solid, it can feel a bit anemic sometimes.

    Druze heavy infantry would be cool, even a silhouette 5 thiccboi. Lets see some haqqislam heavy suits painted yellow.
