Thread: The Imperial Crackdown
Klaw....
I am at work and just take a few minutes here and there to read and post. Can you give us the "25 words or less" reason why you think this will be great for rifemen, please?
i think by "great effect" he means "serious impact"....
i see it as a major deal, since i can't go anywhere without muon (like every other MRM).
feel sorry for the imperial riflemen, though.. sounds like they get it worse than us rebs.
Unfortunately, but rightly, I think SOE will fix it so that Rebels get hurt by crackdowns worse than Imperials. I am Rebel and even I think the penalties as described are unfair. I hate to nerf myself, but in all fairness why are empire supporters penalized far worse than rebels?
So I am not looking forward to the crackdowns. However, besides master rifleman, I am also master smuggler, so I would also love to see some benefit to the smugglers in being able to "slide" past these crackdowns! It might be interesting making a living by "smuggling" illicit contraband by these Imps for others (for a nice fee, of course!). Unfortunately, that doesnt seem to be part of the plan.
Also.. I am not on test center... how much time do you get to respond to these guys? What happens if I whip out my bike and take off?
In its current state I feel it will have a harsh effecton imperial Rifleman using sliced weapons and most of all our beloved spice. Without sliced rifles we're not nearly as close to other profession's damage outputs and spice well we're the only real spice dependent profession in the game. And from what I'm hearing Fishtak is leaving the game and I've yet to hear what will replaceit. I'm suggesting that rank void out the imperial scanning imperial senario in my post at that thread.
Rebel Rifleman should be ok considering they basically only get a TEF and don't spend as much time around Imperial npcs as imperial rifleman do.
Just my early morning 2 cents. 
It's a shame because here is a pefect example of how they could have made rank worth something, for imps at least. I fail to see why any high ranking Imperial officer would let a lowly ST scan them.
