Precisely. I can definitely see the Empire being toughest on the Rebel Scum -- they're going to do that anyway. And on random citizens and neutrals; they broke the law, fry 'em, but the Empire would not hesitate to be tough as nails on their own, as well. I'm sure it's nowhere near a walk in the park to be an enlisted member of a corrupt and oppressive regime. Hell, look what being an Admiral -- ADMIRAL -- who messes up gets you: choked.
You'd have to be really, really freaking high in rank in the Empire to just walk away scott-free from a crackdown scan that you just failed.

Sweet Stuff here!!! I think Imperial Stormtroopers with some stopping power might put a little bit of excitement in the game. Instead of an annoyance they could be an actual source of content. "Dammit, I'm getting scanned!" "Run Run!!" "He found my sliced DE-10" "Get outta there!" I like the idea of challenges. I can't stand that I can solo anything in this game.

I'm all for anythuing that gives the empire more of a 'jack boot'. As a rebel I WANT to feel oppressed. It gives you something to fight for.

LOL, i've been all over that thread like white on rice on a paper plate in a glass of milk during a snowstorm.


I am very hesitant to judge anyone as a whiner, however some of these people come TOO close.


They say the ST's are too strong, while I might credit them with that, I think that the current crackdown ST's are too weak. Maybe 200 HAM and 4k+ damage through 80% composite armor attacks from one ST is excessive... perhaps 30-50k HAM ST's with 1k damage to a 80% resisted player is appropriate.

Well I hear that they have already nerfed the Crackdown. As soon as I'm done patching, I'm going to test it out, but I hear that the ST's are now 13k HAM. I wonder how they will fight.


I swear I will blow a gasket if we get the Imperial Letdown Pt. II

That is the most godd4mn depressing thing I've heard all week.



V E E L A "her royal hawtness"
I am Jack's Smirking Revenge. I am Jack's Ignored Profession.
Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...


That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.
