Thread: Hi Thulium
did u get any news from the devs about the SL prof?
well here some new or old thoughts:
we must see that the SL profession in real is a profession which gives a lot of expiernce in many fields, not only in commanding
the terrain neg modifier reflects this abit but not strong enough, so here my suggestions what should be changed:
-add camouflage to the mobility tree to match expl. 4
(a leader can help the ppl in how to hide in the given environment)
-already said idea about assigning positions to mates: i think this different. we dont need necessarily to make the ppl better with skills or mods, just give their name in the group a different color... this will help and would be cool and not to expensive feature. cause a squadleader can easily color a medic blue, a noob white for example, and a sergeant orange which will be his right hand...
-change boost morale to buff all mind sec and tet stats with 500 to 1000 points for 5 mins at no HAM cost but with a 30 min timer liker equilibirum or so! thats was i think is when u boost morale! and would be very handy, SLs will be loved for that :-)
(a leader can always give some words to his ppl which gets them back to the feet just by the force of their will and the quality of his words)
-make unarmed IV a prerequesite to SL to make it harder to get and a real dedication, lower granted xp by 20% and give in return the SL some combat skills like LLC cert+litghingsingle1 and cone 1 not as good as BH with LLC IV but like LLC III or II
(a leader is longed trained in combat and would be normally a master commando)
this will make the SL more fun to player and by the increased effort to get it more balanced to other combat classes
-and at the end something most worth to have a SL, master peak so to speak... grant everyone the armor rating light, with a master SL
(a leader can teach his ppl how to fight a target most effectivly and how to protect the best way against his attacks)
quite drastic changes i guess, but usefull, and i think balanced
consequences: every group would like to have a SL like a master doc or a master CM which are as they are take less skill points or same as SL and are more usefull to any group than a lousy SL
just my two cents

Hi Thulium, nice to have a new correz again...

Well... Not exactly, but let me explain what's happening...
Two weeks ago, Thunderheart requested "Top 5" lists from each correspondent. He then gathered up all the lists and presented them to the appropriate developers for comment. The developer then gave a response (which cannot be released to the public, at least for now), and it gets discussed as appropriate until the details are hammered out and only then can be announced here.
As Thunderheart pointed out yesterday in his weekly status report, most of the initial developer responses are done, but Squad Leader is among those which aren't. Thunderheart said he planned to work late to get the responses to the Top 5 that Captain Vemnox provided, but as yet has not done so as of this posting.
Don't despair, though, I am certain that it is VERY soon coming... I was made Correspondent a day later than promised also...not a big deal. (except that I managed to have a lot of time to work on this Monday, and not so much Tuesday). However, please keep in mind that I will not be able to share the responses until approval is given so don't panic when you don't see them published here this week.
Just a tip though, if you notice a change in my disposition in posting here during this week, that COULD be indicative of the type of responses we get (positive or negative)....
