I think that squad leader should be done away with all together. Instead give these skills as perks for picking up rank in the GCW. Like a Col. would be like a master squad leader.

You could add different branches to the militaries. When you get your 200 fp the recruiter would ask you if you would like to join:

Infantry (combat professions)

Medical Corps (medics, doctors)

Scout Corps (scouts, rangers)

Spec For (commando)

Navy (pilot)

Armored Corps (you could add player combat vehicles for this one)

Each one would give specific bonuses for the professions. A general or col. would give a full range of bonuses.

When you join one of these, as you get fp for various things. Healing overts, killing faction npc's and various other missions that go with the professions. You pick up rank and give specific bonuses in the group (as long as you are the highest in rank.)

You have guilds and player cities now. You could go even farther an introduce player armies. This would require someone with enough rank and fp.. they get the "base" and place it. It would work just like a faction base now, but not as temporary. It would be more like a player city. There would be a barracks, armory, walls, gun turrets, sheild genorators. Each building would have to be maintained by officers assigned by the person in charge.The facility, instead of being destroyed, can be taken over by opposing factions. The base itself would give bonuses to help defend it. Not to mention the sheild would actually repel fire and keep people out until it was drained.

I worked on a similar proposal with a group called SWGX back in the day. It was pretty well thought out as yours is, but it just never seemed reasonable.

Sure it would solve a lot of problems with both the profession and the GCW but it would take too much work. We are just too far into this game to make a change such as this.

Well, the way i see it. There really isnt much point in moving forward if you just leave a whole bunch of flaws and problems in your wake. Yes, i agree that this will take a huge amount of work, but you said it yourself. It will solve alot of problems. It will also make the GCW look like an actual war, instead of a couple people dueling in a cantina or a few people grinding fp.

I understand that the expansion is pretty much the main priority right now. But after its done there will be plenty of resources and time to spend on the combat system and the GCW. I dont think this is at all un-reasonable if it is done in stages.

I think you are kind of right but if the SL profession is revamp in a fashion that the community is developing then we will have one kick ass profession that is fun while still balanced. It would definitely make the GCW more involved in peoples characters but it would further alienate the neutrals which is a still a big player base. If the GCW was altered to include Jabba guys and Valarian guys as organizations and had buffs for them it would be cool and im sure all of the players would be in one faction or the other.

and it is a misconception that after JTL is released there will be more resources to focus on the rest of the game. JTL is gonna be packed full of bugs and things that need to be fixed and it will require devs to make things happen. There might be a couple more devs allowed to come back to us in the ground game but not many and certainly not enough to get all of this stuff done.

I think i would be happy if you just integrated rank into SL. i.e. in order to advance into certain skill boxes you have to acheive a certain rank.

I think littlethingslike this every now and again would definatley put us on the right path.

ah but you forget the neutral SL's.

Also are you saying that you could be a master SL immdiately if you are a high ranking officer. It doesnt make sense.

to be honest, i dont see the point of a neutral SL. They exist for combat.Smugglers and bounty hunters are supposed to act alone, so i dont see any benefit there. It would just be a waste of skill points.

well yeah you know because there isnt a single lick of combat outside of PvP in this game........well you know beside PvE......

Go talk to a jedi and ask if he appreciates a Squad leader when grinding xp.
