Squad Leader Archive

i was thinkin what could save our profession.. and ive been seeing the idea of generic troopers being thrown around... i think that this is a good idea because we will always have a squad even if we cant get a group and if we do get into a group we can still us our "mercs" contributing to the group so that squad leaders will be moreaffective in groups. perhaps they could put in a mercenary terminal were we could hire them based on our skills.. say a novice can only buy 1 or 2 low level mercs and use them at once and a master can use many moreand different mercenaries havedifferent skills like a commando or medic. these mercs would not be as affective as a PC but would make squadleader a much better profession and still stick to what it the profession is a leader of squads even your own.

i dont think this would be too hard to implement since we already have our specials that would compliment having an NPC squad.. and a way to limit squadleaders becoming the prenerf CH is to make it so that the higher level they are the more expensive they are(hopefully just a1 time payment)and at a low level you cant use thehigh level ones. (also theyd have around the same Hit points as a PC so they cant be used as meat shields). They would not be too strong but theyd still be a big plus for squadleaders.

feel free to post any comments or ideas

I was wondering if you could get gains by group pets or droids or at least faction mercs. Why don't you just do that, Join The Empire! COME TO THE DARK SIDE

I had thoughts on a similar line - see the outline and some good discussion here:
