SmilesLikeJoker Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm building toward EIB, but had an idea for something I haven't seen on any pack. It would not by any means be 'cannon'. I'm still building my armor and still have several components to get. I would only like to have to worry about one pack instead of either borrowing one for official pictures (if allowed) or getting a second. Yes...I'm trying to do as much planning as I can. Thanks!

BananoPower22[TK] Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I believe the pack has to be specifically the HWT pack or TD's pack for EIB, no customizaton or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilesLikeJoker Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) Bummer..... I was thinking about trying to carry two weapons (three in the long run). I would have had a T21 in my hands. On one side of the pack would be a bazooka, and the other side a RT-97C (http://starwars.wiki...y_blaster_rifle). The RT-97C could be switched out and the T-21 put in it's place. The bazooka would come off also. I'm going for a Heavy Weapons Trooper so I wanted to carry plenty of heavy weapons. T21 for standard fighting, RT-97C for long distance sniping (b/c of special scopes), and the bazooka for vehicles. Bring on the rebels!!!!! Ok...plan for the standard HWT pack for the moment. Maybe the above (long term) for non-cannon events. Thanks! Edited September 15, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 That's certainly OK. If you want the HWT your choices are pretty much replica off the game or else we use the same standards as MEPD for packs. If you want something else entirely, then this is fine for informal events/troops, just like any other unapproved accessory like blue pauldrons, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster[501st] Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have built both the game version HWT pack as well as the TD version. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do It!!!!!! go for it! Granted u will need one thats up to specs, but theres no rule that u cant make another/or more, pack u want for none-cannon events.

BigBadaBoom Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 So if I were to do what I am planning on doing, which is building a video game HWT pack and adding S-hooks on the side to mount my MiniMag, while carrying my DLT-19, am I eligible for EIB status? S-Hooks are such a small detail, and I didn't read anywhere in class II or III status on the CRL about functionality. I am planning on keeping my launcher on the side of the pack, similar to a ghostbuster proton pack wand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Maybe go for EIB first and modify the pack later? Or make them detachable... with inconspicous attachment points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on making it detachable with small ring and S-hooks. Maybe I'll do it after I get status. I'm going to need to be creative with my backpack though. This launcher I've build weighs in at about 10lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah, you could end up leaning a bit to one side with that much weight hanging off you... Better make sure you have a gun on both sides so you don't tip over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadaBoom Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Haha! Yeah might have to attach a 10lb weight to the other side. Or I may just have the launcher to have the launcher. Idk yet. I don't even have armor yet so I'm not sure how it'll all come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Hilarious Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) You could hide your S-hooks in compartments on the sides. Check this out: ----------- The squarish bit at the bottom end (on the side facing us). That looks like it could pop open, you could have your S-hhok fold out of there. Then there's no deviation from the onscreen ones. Best of both worlds.

BigBadaBoom Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 That sounds awesome! I'll definitely have to work hard on the backpack when I get to that phase. I need my armor first to make it fit to the back piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
