Thread: Squad Leader needs new ability to call multiple Faction Pets
But with your logic... all the tailors and Image designers who are sad that they can only have 1 faction pet and should get more too. And I agree. But it should be based off of rank... not profession. If you progress up your factions rank then you should get access to more faction pets.
"But with your logic... all the tailors and Image designers who are sad that they can only have 1 faction pet and should get more too."
The difference being that tailors and image designers are not professions designed specifically for group play: Squad Leader is.
but what it really needs now and when it is finally fixed is the ability to call multiple faction pets such as say "Stormtroopers" out at once to say a maxium of 3 or 4.
It's the heart of the class, commanding other players AND NPCs.
I know many SL's who are sad due to the limit of one faction pet now, I'm sure this class more then any other deserves this to be increased.

I agree partly...
There has been many post here about "let SL be the faction petter" or "rank must decide"
There isnt gonna be an easy solution to Faction pets anyway, the best solution would be a form of mix up of these...
so SL should be required (or a power of some sort) but a the same time the rank should have an effect on the numbers of pets...
But with this we come to another problem, what about the situation where the SL is a corporal and all the rest of the people in the group are WWII:s... theoraticly it would be in that situation the lowest who is leading the officers...
We can only hope that SL will be made even somewhat usefull in the coming Combat redo...
And i hope the Rank/SL will effect Faction pet numbers, as it just is the most logical thing

You just nailed yourself there....
Group play = yourself + other players.
Solo play = yourself + NPCs
squad leader 'solo' = no group = no 'squad'.
squad leader with faction pets = squad = squad leader.
squad= 4 or more individuals working as a group.
But the name "Squad Leader" is irrelevent. It could be called "Group Commander" or "Droid Engineer" for that matter. Its the skills and abilities that make us what we are... not the title. We are about group play.... we have no part in solo play (excluding other skills).
Who said group play doesn't include NPC's? When I "group" my faction pets I see their names upper in the upper left-hand corner of my screen under my own....isn't that a group? It fits every definition of one, and the instruction book absolutely does not say anywhere that a group only constitutes real people.
