Im not sure if this concerns Fencers enough to belong here, but I'll throw this idea out there.
If we could board ships in JTL, (I can dream cant I?) maybe some classes wouldget combat bonuses for fighting in boarded ships. Classes with weapon that could realistically be used in cramped spaces.Fencers, TKA, Pistoleers for instance. Merely an idea to give us fencers an advantage over say, Swordsman.

A good idea if there were some way to implement boarding. Disable, dock, and then you load into the environment of the captured ship. TKA would be close quarters too, but I don't see as strong a thematic connection there. I would say fencers, pistoleers, and carbineers should excel in boarding.
I've often thought that there should be openfieldsituations in which some professions excelled, and indoor situations like bunkers and installations, in which other professions were at an advantage. I think a ship would fall under that.

Sorry, I dont PvP much. The general vibe seems to be that Fencer, as profession, is only used for the state defenses as far as templates go. Im apparently wrong. But still, the idea kinda makes sense, doesnt it?

Outdoor would give bonuses for Rifleman, Commando,and Pikeman I think. Merely expanding on an existing idea.

Thought of this when I woke up today, how aboutthe devs change the currentnpc soldiers so you can bring them into space with you? Let's say you have a rebel soldier and a y-wing. You walk up to the starport ship terminal, group with him, and then launch into space. When you load into space the soldier is put in the gunner's station, and can attack enemy fighters at will. Master pilots would not have to rely on players to man turrents in their multi ships. This would also increase the appeal of joining a faction.
