Thread: Who Else Misses Them?
I agree 100% with what has been said so far. Heck, far as I am concerned SL should have 5 followers.
Here is the big problem with why they (DEVs) took it away from what I understand...3 AT STs.
Problem was is that they needed to do the same thing that they did with CH (x number of creatures at x amount of points with a total cap of x). I personally feel that SL + Rank would increase the total cap points to either give you more higher quality troops or more lesser quality troops. Not a hard concept... play any minature game that is points based. I have a post on neutral SL on my suggestions for the DEVs to make neutralfollowers avaible to take advantage of this system.
With this system you can make a cap that you can't have more than 1 AT ST (which would make the Rebs happy) but you could field 1 and have 2-4 troopers as support of that AT ST.
But hey, we are dealing with people (DEVs) who can't understand a simple concept of putting a discription tab so you can see what the heck your buying ora form of trade-in feature (even at a reduced cost) so incase you get a troop (or item) that you spend your hard earned faction points on that you do not want or is no longer needed. God know that with the current system I am stuck with 2 ST medics and a AT ST. Those troopers no longer see the light of day, so why can't I trade them in for faction points to help me get something else?
I wont even go into that I can get an entire guy in ST armor with a weapon for 420 fps but it cost me 17.5k fps to get that same suit. Boy that really sucks when a peice of that suit falls apart too... I think I could come up with a better system out of a cracker jack box. Idiots, talk about totally missing the boat on the whole faction set up. Oh well, guess that isn't an important part of the game.
Monkeys I tell you, monkeys...
BLKTOM - Well put...i have been silent on the boards, and Iam mixed between SL as a Player Helper Profession, and a Human Handler Profession. I think SL needs to havea Faction Pet bonus, and having limits aswell (like only 1 AT-ST at a time,up to3 Storm troopers at a time.). Neutral Players should also be able to aquire Troopers of some sort.
giving us just 3 troopers will keep the SL profession balanced. I know i will still group with actual players, but when i have no group, this will allow me to go have some fun with my squad.

CorSec is as good as imperial..... besides ive noticed most of yall posting have the imperial logo...what rebel faction pet is worth being able to control 3?!?!? they all suck so terribly, the imperial ones are good and do stuff, but honestly why even have the rebel ones out, just a waste of FP
I wouldn't say that the Rebel faction pets are worthless, I don't know what you guys are able to requisition, but I assume that the troopers are comparable to the Imperial troops. The mainadvantage I think that the Imperials have as far as faction pets are concerned are the AT-ST and the Darktrooper. I've never had the pleasure of commanding an AT-ST crew, but I plan on buying enough faction points to do so with the money I make from hunting. I usually keep one or two troopers in my datapad whether I use them or not. I'll tell you what though, those stormtroopers have saved my life on more than one occassion.
