This can be updated along w/ the Shadow Scout.  @furiosa @Tarrif @Blackwatch an we give this a hard look to make sure its how we want it as well?  Part of the update is to have a little more consistency w/ the TB (though not entirely exact).  Feel free to reference the TB CRL as well.  Very similar to the Shadow...make sure we have colors and typos good too.  THANKS!

May I ask what is the source of the changes? I still play SWG on the emu server and have a Swamp Scout NPC. Or are we just trying to match up with the Biker Scout in Pathfinders?

E-11 Blaster

For 501st approval:

Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the E-11 is standard-issue for many Imperial troops. Light, compact yet powerful, the E-11 blaster is always in high demand throughout the galaxy.

Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster.
For level two certification (if applicable):

Folding stock.
Stock does not need to function.
A real or replica ammo counter, based off of a Hengstler counter, should be present.

D-ring mounted on the rear.

Correct style scope.

Two power cylinders on the magazine.

Scratch-built, resin cast, Hyperfirm rubber cast blasters should have a total of 6 t-racks on blaster (leaving the lowest row on the Hengstler side un-covered).

If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side.

This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place.

For 501st approval:

Manufactured by BlasTech Industries, the DLT-19 heavy blaster rifle is much more powerful with a much greater range than the E-11 blaster. Because of its powerful, long range capabilities, this rifle is commonly used on Imperial controlled planets with large, clear, open areas.

Flat or semi-gloss black.
Blaster is lightly weathered.
For level two certification (if applicable):

Why is weathering no longer acceptable?

If you read that in there somewhere, thats a typo. Where did you see that?  The opening section states that armor and softgoods may have weathering.  That should carry throughout the CRL so if you saw “no weathering” somewhere in the most recent draft (nearest to the end of the thread), let us know where please.

Also remember that any updates here dont affect troopers who already har. approval...so u will be good regardless @splinter

Required Costume Components

Special Notes:

  • The armor is gloss, semi-gloss, satin or matte green and may be slightly weathered to look as if white is showing through with minor scuffs/dirt.
  • Armor is made from one of these (or similar) types of materials:
    • Fiberglass
    • ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
    • HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene).

    [*]Soft parts may be slightly weathered with scuffs/dirt to match the armor.

    [*]Blasters are not required for legion membership per our weapons policy.

     

Under Armor it says weathering is not acceptable.  but i remember in an earlier version it stated that minor  weathering  is acceptable to show the white underneatn. thats likely in the current posted CRL. 

The following costume components are present and appear as described below.

@splinter Thanks.  I see it now in the "Final Proposed Version"...in the initial proposal it included weathering.

@Blackwatch That may be a typo/paste from the Shadow Scout that needs to be corrected back to the initial proposal. (not the most recent which included the "white showing through").  Probably can just copy that part from Izzi's original post.
