Good job. Hopefully something will come of it.
I mean, I know SOMETHING will come of it, seeing as how its your job and everything, but you know, I'm hoping that SOMETHING will come of it. *wink wink*
By that I mean something good.

Yeah, we really need some sort of response, any at all...I need to know whether to surrender my SL/Survival skills or not...

Well, I have 900,000 (capped) SL Xp. I have 40,000 (also capped)survival xp. I have 60000 (and counting)combat xp (I already mastered pistoleer.) If I surrender all of SL and survival I can quickly climb back up if I surrender and they later do something good to the class.

Vem, d-zamn right! I think the vitriol and sheer disappointment on this board will make it clear to the Devs that we do NOT want Puppet Master skills. We hate Pupper Master skills. We loathe Puppet Master Skills.
I can honestly say that if these go in and the Devs don't see that they are tragicly flawed in a reasonable amount of time, I will be dropping Squad Leader. Not because I don't believe in the Profession or don't like to lead, but because I won't be a Squad Leader with these skills. I'll be a Player Creature Handler. I'll continue to lead squads and lay the smackdown, but somehow I will have to do it without /sys. Then again, maybe I will keep Novice and Group Terrain Negotiation. That would leave me with enough points to do something useful for my team, at least.
Give 'em hell.

warning to those who might drop SL, when you dorp the line you lose the extra Exp, same thing with all skills, so as soon as you no longer have a IV skill in SL you will start to drop your cap exp lvl of 900k, by the time you get to novice SL you will only have 350k exp left, and in theory when you dorp novice SL it will all dissapear. Just and FYI to those who have little faith.

Greetings SOE!
I wanted to let you know where the Squad Leader community stands as of Friday, August 29th. I have placed two topics, recently, on the forums entitled the following:
"Your Comments on the [Proposed] 'New Abilities'"
and
"Informing the Dev's on our Thoughs on the New Abilities"
The first has gotten well over 140 responses and the latter has over 35 and counting. These are truly the most thought-out posts I have personally seen to-date. Although earlynext week I will condense the most frequently occuring thoughts into a full report, the community would be most appreciative if a SOE representative could sift through both of these threads, just to "get your feet wet" so to speak, before we send the formal response.
Once again let me itterate: I will, with the community's help, formulate a full report/response for next week as a response to the proposed changes. We will, obviously, suspend any "Top 5 Issues" until we have either heard from the Developer(s) back again as a response to our responses or until the changes go live on Test Center so that we may test them ourselves. This being, of course, because the Top 5 issues from the first round are still unaddressed and, hopefully, still pending a Developer response.
Links to the above mentioned threads can be found at the following:

and

Thank you for your support and interest in these matters,

Looks good, Vem.
In your followup correspondence, I suggest linking to the threads we have on the Discussion forum:
Have you ever grouped with a Squad Leader? http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Development&message.id=426746
Squad Leader: The chasm of effort. http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Development&message.id=438548
This two threads have seen input by non-SL (pro and con). Since a SL's abilities affect anyone he's grouped with, the input of potential group members is very relevant.

Thanks, Tychus, I will do so. I was looking for the link to those threads anyways. =)
