Just asking, but how is this different than the current skill suppression fire from the ranged support line?
It is supposed to be a coned posture down, and the time to posture down would be a speed reduction for the opponent firing?
Well basically a squad leader uses this special on enemies in a cone, it would not cause a posture change like supression fire. If its a successful hit then that player would receive a penalty to their rate of fire, causing them to take longer to issues their special attacks and perhaps cause an accuracy penalty. It could be viewable in the new UI as an icon like how stun is. The"debuff"of this special couldlast 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Of course a warm up and cooldown would need to be adjusted, i'm not doing any hard numbers just ideas i'm throwing together for a new skill that can take advantage of new rules of the combat upgrade.

I hope they release the profession docs and others like the spice, food. It was kinda sad we weren't mentioned in the first part of the CU, even though that we are supposed to be getting worked on.

There's plenty I'd like to sound off on, but we're kind of ina gray area with the NDA now that they've started incrementally releasing information to the general population.
Its very much in the direction that SL might be headed. But like the others have said, the CU info is all up in the air right now. There is information that the Correspondents have that our Alpha picks do not have and then the Devs are still holding out certain info until the time is right.
So once we know a little more, and are given the go ahead to discuss it then I can tell you whats going on.
But this is still a good idea, not something to be forgotten. One question though... is this a skill performed just by the SL or by the entire group?

This would be a special SL only skill, a nice perk for the leader to lay down cover fire for his/her men. Orignally I thought it could caused all ranged fighters to do something else but then we already have a skill whichdoesn't include melee group members.I'm also glad you like the idea Irott

Possibly make it so like normal retreat is retreat, but make an advanced retreat starts with this.
Puny SL "Okay guys, if you don't mind getting out of here, that would be good"
Puny SL + Advanved retreat = Ub3r SL
Ub3r SL *lays down cover fire* "You ladies have 30 seconds to make like a tree and get the hell outta here!*"
*I know that it is make like a tree and leave, but I always thought Biff from Back to the future saying it wrong was funny.
