There is no way to work an alpha class in an MMOG. It just don't work. You either have to make them super rare and extremely powerful or allow them to spread like the black plague and be no more dangerous than a bad case of the flu.
this was on another thread. and the more i read it, the more it makes sense. which is sad because i did a good deal of stuff to unlock....
There is a third alternative: You severely restrict their ability to interact with the general playerbase. This also serves to decrease the population because there is no longer any showoff or uber pwnage factor involved.

Dark Light factions maybe?
IMO that is precisely wat we need, but dark jedi need to be sith, its just a better name lol
possibly Nova class troopers, 4 at a time on you if u flash?
id go for it, only thing is if a bounty hunter catches you..or if they could make you un attackable by the bh like a sort of tef..but then jedi would exploit that into flashing in public. unless you flash first then be exempt prior to the alpha strike.
or incur xp loss and wounds if u die againsed them (the troopers)

hmmm, and maybe some nice rebel trooper for us imperials to pwn one of then lose to the other 3 lol
but yea, having a NPC (or a few) come for u could work too
you know what? id have to agree. thats the only way it will stop. but only drawback is if they actually do come out with dark/light factions.
or just have the nova troopers, 4 or 5 per jedi. and if a jedi kills one, no real reward. maybe a few creds under those circumstances. but just under those circumstances
