Thread: Publish 6 Feedback: Imperial Crackdown
Something I wonder is why we have to goto a recruiter to declare our affiliation? Covert I understand, but overt? Shouldn't I just be able to whip out my Sargent's badge and start wailing on the obvious enemy? Can't I shout, "For the Empire!" and charge in? What does the recruiter do? Put our names on a billboard?
The empire has a lot of manpower- they are all just running around covert. Here's an idea, give players a small FP award for going overt if they are within range (50m?) of an ally under attack. Since going covert takes an hour or death, farming this award wouldn't be a big problem.
Rebel here... & yea the STs are not hard enough.
Up the level of the STs & have a imperial recruiter somewhere in the area. Not that it matters to me, I can get my STs from missions & make some money at the same time. =)
Need Squads of St's being marched around bye a imperial officer or a Dt. Some at-st's patrolling and maybe an At-at to "secure" the captial 
. I wasa bit disspointed. It was however friggin kewl when a little probot whipped me off my bike and told me to not move and scanned me. Way out in the middle of no were 7000m from town too.

Stormtroopers aren't strong enough??? Where do you get that idea. They may need to add something to the defenses, but DO NOT change the Stormtroopers. If you think they should be more difficult, look at the ability of a Master Smuggler. A MASTER can barely kill one, let alone a group. Now, if Han Solo is killing these stormtroopers left and right, then the Stormtroopers are already stronger than they should be. What needs to be done, is added defenses, more stormtroopers, more atsts, some atats.
You don't need to fix what isn't broke. More things need MORE attention anyway.

I can't say that I argue with that. Good thoughts, bro! 
Ummm ok.
I didn't go through all 14 pages of this, so someone else might have already voiced thier frustration.
I'm on Gorath. Since this started, I haven't been scanned, I haven't seen a single shakedown, I haven't seen any Probots come crashing into the wilderness... I play all the time, so it's not like I never leave my city.
Any ST patrol I run into in the wilderness just stands there (or line-dances) - never scanning. Just standing there like a bunch of idiots. It's REALLY LAME.
The Imp Crackdown to me is so far is this: A bunch of statin spawn STs for Rebs to harvest FP from. Yippeee.
I really hope this is just the beginning and someone does something... or else this is ANOTHER failed attempt at content.
