Squad Leader Archive

The Devs are currently looking for ideas on Inspirations that will be useful, but not *absolutely* necessary.

So what benefits can you see as useful to you which would not detract from you being a "whole Squad Leader" if you didn't have the Inspiration?

Thanks!

Here's the original thread if you wish to post there too.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough in my first post.

These aren't Inspirations that Squad Leaders would apply to others, these would be Inspirations that Entertainers would apply to Squad Leaders to enable the SL's to perform some of their abilities better.

i understand your question now; thanks for clarifying that.

buff the length of time our specials last. 100% increase in length for things like Steady Aim and Rally.

buff the stats of SA, Rally, Volley Fire

do those two things or even one of them (preferably length) and i'd be happy.

how about a insperation buff for the devs so that they can be inspired on what a SL is?

If they don't know what to do with us, how are they going to think up an insperation buff to give to you that would help us?

That's why they've asked for help in coming up with ideas.

I realize that, but my point is...if they don't know...how are we?

Perhaps an insperation that decreases our timers?

It's hard to give ideas if we don't know what direction they are wanting to take the profesison, and if they don't know what direction to move the profession, they aren't going to impliment anything for us anyway.

So the question is: What inspires a Squad Leader?
(not every SL gets inspired, but some ideas)
-Medals. (To show to others the SL's accomplishments, not really an entertainer thing)
-Praise from superiors (The Emperor's Faith might be a name for an Imperial SL, showing that even the Emperor believes in that SL)
-Knowledge of the enemy (The more a SL knows, the better he/she can prepare and therefore succeed)
-Backup (knowing that they are not alone and that if they survive just a while longer then they will be victorious, or something)
-Lessen the danger (SLs who don't complete their missions are scum. SLs who don't look after the lives of their subordinates are worse scum , less pressure on the SL to worry about mistakes, better chance of the SL making the right choices)
-Someone to protect (As Haku says, and I try to remember, "You can't become truly strong until you have someone to protect", so having someone/something to protect would inspire a SL more than not having them/it)

All i would like is already mentioned, but i add it up in my priority list here:

1. shorter cooldown on rally and volley fire


2. reduced costs on retreat


3. longer duration on rally and volley fire


4. the same for steadyaim in the unlikely case that it first will be fixed to a state where using it makes sense

Thanks, all. I've started pulling data from all this. I appreciate the help, and keep those ideas flowing!
