Squad Leader Archive

http://www.swgcenter.com/info/article.asp?ID=671

This profession is not the most glorious or powerful profession, and the road to becoming a one is not the most exciting, but as a Squad Leader, one can gain a certain satisfaction that no other professional will ever have. Unlike all other professions, Squad Leaders will take the blame for failure, but bask in the glory of success...

Errors that betray this wasn't written by an expert...

• Leadership skill mod has been removed from the game, recommending humans based on this is incorrect.


• "Finally, you must go to a no-build zone, which you will find 1000 meters away from any city." That should read "you must go beyond the no-build zones"


• The %TT variables do not work with /sysgroup. Do not recommend making macros based on them.


• Does not explain what the specials do


• Does not explain a recommended path of advancement, or even the possible benefits of one route over another


• Does not give formula for Squad Leader XP

Otherwise, its a decent start, but not sure how useful it would be...

I'm surprised you called my article "indepth." As Vol pointed out, it wasn't really indepth and apparently not flawless either. I sent in an update to change typos and mistakes, however, it was really meant to summarize the profession and what it intails rather than be a list of recommendations (since everyone has a different path they would like to take to get to SL). I don't claim to be omnipotent when it comes to SL knowledge, but I think the article can still be helpful and I enjoyed righting it. Vol, everyone knows you are the true expert when it comes to SL. If you want you can write your own guide or even send me an addition to add to mine (i'd ofcourse tell swgcenter to change it to Guide to Squad Leadership by Voltaris and Kingomnipotent). thanx for the pointers

/sysgroup INCOMING %TT works great for me, why we shouldn't use this command ?

Hmm, that must have been patched in recently then, without them telling us. It definitely never worked before about 5 days ago (last time I checked, I think).

I'll test it out tonight, thanks for the heads up.
