It'd be a very drastic move, but I'd actually not be too opposed to making it so that Squad Leaders could only be Officers. But that's me.
Nah, it'd be a good idea, if it would only come into effect after the squad has 3 or more members -- and if it stopped if the squad dropped below 3, as well. Trust me, it really stinks to be forced to be an Officer+Squad Leader if you've only got one other person in the squad. 
Not sure the engine could handle that.
I was in until I don't know when. Fought under Omen's command a lot on Mos Espa.
Loved the end of that one Mos Espa match. All the control points had been overrun by the Empire, and there was only one Rebel left, in an AT-ST. He marched the thing boldly into the Commercial District and took down several stormies before getting blown to pieces, demonstrating splendid survival skill until his death (except from a lack of external view usage, allowing stormies to sneak up behind him). Was quite a thing to see.
My biggest complaint was the lack of teamwork overall. Sure, there were some squads, but quite a few people didn't squad up and things were, as far as I could tell, pretty disorganized. JaFaR Ironclad, where were you
?
I'm at college. Not much I can do with First Strike while I don't have access to my "big gun" PC; which is at my home until next term. I have been working on the Jedi temple model for my map.
Count me in on the next one though. I'm going to set up another community game once 1.2 gets released.

I dunno, must be good.
It's not always that our speeds are great, more were Ireland is located. Good pings in Europe and decent pings in the US,the only place I don't get good pings in are:West Coast,USA and Australia
Yea what he said. (700th post!!!)

Yes, the Officer's toys can really turn the tide of a battle. Squad up, buy mics, give and follow orders.
Hehe, Omen had this little trick I really liked. Everyone were hitting Palace Ruins from the east, so he got a speeder bike, flew to north of the Ruins, and placed a beacon there, for then to order our whole squad to spawn there. We hit the unsuspecting scum in the back, though I don't remember if we managed to take the control point or not.

I mean, come on, if you're going to take the responsibility of being a Squad Leader, why not give your squad the bonuses to help them win? Oh, I guess that just won't give you enough points to "win", huh? 
IMO, the wide-area scan and the spawn beacon are indispensable.
Other than that, I had a lot of fun 
, once I kept out of those particular squads. Until I was called in to work and had to go.

haha Safe-Keeper I just realized that's my squad in that screeny vs yours 
.
Yeah I remember that too I said "alright squad there is one guy left I want everyone to cover a outpost" then someone said "well he cant capture any in this mode right?" then I said "well he can only capture Commercial..." then there was a AT-ST bleep on the radar "oh speak of the devil everyone to commercial district!" that was good
Some of the games I saw a lack of team work. I know on the rebs on defense I had to split up my squad have 2 at slave one with a AT-ST and the rest of my squad at watto's because all of my team was at slave for some reason and I managed to repel about 4 walkers until we got swarmed with infantry
