How this radar jamming thing would work:
Squad Leader would start to radar jam, which would then make everyone in the SL's group to not appear as anything on the radar (group members would have to stay close to the SL , like 64m for it to work). As this happens the power supply on the com link would begin to drain at a fair rate. Five minutes max it would take from 100% - 0%. In PvE situations it would work on NPCs kinda like how mask scent works on creatures, so there is a chance that you will be detected. In PvP overts will not notice your group on the radar while in stealth mode unless they physically see you in game then it would break radar silence.
Com Links and power cells should be crafted by Engineers so that will give a novice profession a little bit extra cash. This idea could be tweaked of course but that would be the basics behind it, and this game needs to have a com link in it, cause we are soldiers that don't have any. Even Leia had a com link

Ideas I am for:
1. A few fort structures like sandbags and stuff with bonuses to stats being the benefit.
2. SL is overt then he can make the group overt
3. Shuttle camps
4. Formations
5. Group waypoints and other group management skills
6. Vehicle terrain negotiation
7. Hold on to working skills like formup only allow them to clear all non-medical states (i.e. stun, dizzy, intimidate)
Ideas I am against:
1. Anything that requires another profession to accomplish as that makes the skill entirely useless when the other professions isnt around. (i.e. rangers being necessary to lay sandbags)
2. Anything that demands the SL be a member of a particular faction or that he spend FP
3. Extra Faction Pets
4. Anything that forces the SL to use a particular combat profession like pistols or carbines.
5. SL bots and recursive macros

Once this Squad Leader revamp comes, I will probably level some pistol to improve my Officer image.
But Through Officers in World War 2 *The good vs evil war
* used Carbines as main and Pistols as sidearms *

Nothing can improve your image.

Since launch I've wanted an eyepatch.
Someone needs to propose a new expansion for that. We'll make it like some "The Sims" expansion which adds all new content: eyepatches! Eyepatches here, eyepatches there, eyepatches for your nuna.. and heck maybe even a window patch foryour house! We'll call it "Star Wars Galaxies: Patch Me Up!" or maybe "Star Wars Galaxies: Pirate Cover-up."

Other things I'd like to have besides the eyepatch. A disco floor that lights up and flashes in house/ship, a disco ball, DJ turntable, and a mechanical bull.
