i'm a reb, and i still think it's a good change.
though, i think they ought to make the penalty rank based--- less of a penalty for higher ranking imperial officers (rank hath it's priveledges) and an imperial private should be pretty severely punished, i'd say...

dunno bout that. Vader forced choked higher ranks for infractions and just for giving him lip...
Accually it should be MUCH harder on higher ranking Imperial Officers. You are to set an example for those under your command. And what kind of example are you setting? Rank has it's responsibilities as much as it's priveledges.
you two are both substituting realism or common sense for game mechanics. 
seriously.. the devs love sinks. credit sinks, particularly, but faction point sinks too. making the penalties less as you go up makes an incentive for people to run faction missions, accumulate points, and spend them on something otherwise worthless (ranks).
if the penalties were less for lower ranks, no one would go above sgt unless they wanted to get a base.

Sounds like an easy way to grind rebel fp for those with high enough combat skill
They also said the troops will either be worth no faction at all or worth very little, they don't want this to be an easy way to grind reb faction.
-EDIT
And mind you this will be in Imperial Cities, which means TEF, that translates into easy kill for any Overt Imp in the area. I heard somewhere they took my idea and if you are overt and imp then you don't get scanned, don't know if that has any truth to it though. I just think its a little lame rebels saying its a good thing for us to be severely punished. Sorry but first we have lower numbers, now we can't get any faction pets cause all of our faction is gone or we have to use crappy unliced armor and weapons. Yeah ok that makes a lot of sense
