Another Novatrooper Variant?!?!

[DizzyStormtrooper[501st]]

Add by a third party server? firstly the texture files exist, and it's right there on the pix. There are only two possibilities of it even being there anyway, it was a hidden or unused game model, which there's the wiki pic so we know it existed before five found it, or 2, it's a mod and someone changed the texture (you can do that in paint) and replaced the storm commando hence the name, in the game files.

 

Since those are ruled out is say it's a safe bet we can make it approvable in the same manner as the medic. I know a bit about mods having done lots in Jedi outcast and gta San Andreas

Hmm, that page is interesting. What it labeles as just a "Novatrooper", is a Shadow Stormtrooper with an orange pauldron, correct? Plus, its Storm Commando is a Shadow Scout, not the Storm Commando with different armor that other references have.

 

Tacking onto my earlier idle speculation, perhaps the lowest ranking Novas simply wore Shadow Stormtrooper armor with an orange pauldron?

 

Either way, wouldn't TL-017 be a fairly easily approved costume? Of course, no new costume is ever easily approved, but there are more than 3 references, and included are shots from the front, back, and both sides. If perhaps a game developer, or someone originally connected to SWG, could 100% confirm that TL-017 was created for the game, then what other hurdles would there be to getting him as an approved costume? (minus, of course, the time and money of whichever trooper makes the armor in the first place, and the approval process).

Don't get too caught up on the names, Master Tej. When I used to play the game I saw Blackhole Troopers called everything under the sun (Stormsnipers, Novatroopers, Stormtroopers, lots of others). The only thing I saw with a consistent name was the Nova Medic (even regular Novas got called all sorts of names).

 

And we only have one reference too (only the game counts), but we don't need three, just the 360 shots. I can still see izzi's reasoning though to get something a bit more definite for this. Either way I think I am going after this one and will try and get it approved (even if it doesn't it'll still look cool!!).

And I'll look for a specific grey or silver. Btw both colors should be allowed since it's allowed for frowns

Way ahead of you Dizzy, heading to pick up some paint to test tomorrow.

I'd use krylon matte aluminum.
