I want the ability to spend Teamwork Points on houses. Fight well and you can afford to buy a two-storey house and start decorating it with flowerbeds and pictures on walls and such. Fight really well and your squad can buy Jabba's City House or even a space dock, which you could use to trade weapons and items .

TY: "****, our tickets are down to 19!"
SK: "Don't worry, mate, our new shipment of Firehawke tanks and mercenary tank crewmen has arrived."

some us military heavy weps have instruction Stickers on them, as how to quickly use/operate them, just in case the need arises that someone might need to use it other than the heavy weps specialist.
as in anti tank/vehicle weps.. like the Tow 2 launcher.

This is an FPS...and even more limiting, the battlefield engine. Not an MMORPG. Please, keep it realistic.

" Oh THOSE mines , lol .. poor sucker ... he didnt realize that the company that made them had hired another corporation to replace one of the manufacturers ( found on one of 13 planets ) of the detonation mechanism on that model.

Considering most FS players apparently don't even understand that stepping on landmines blows you up, that scenario really doesn't seem all that unlikely.

Although it's not going to be in FS and is most likely not possible with the engine anyway, I'd actually like a system where you could pick up all kits, or at least friendly kits, but only be able to use their main weapons and sidearms, not their special stuff. But that's for another thread.

Theres not a lot of troops that would have the training and expertise to deploy anti armor mines and not kill themselves doing it.
So ,( im not disagreeing with the kits idea ) in the starwars universe , its highly probable that weapons systems are even more lethal and dangerous in the hands of untrained people.

LOL

My two cents: devs are likely not going to do this, though I think Pickup kits would be a nice addition to FS, since I personally find that there are too few kits/weapons available.

More in-depth debate. TY2D2 attempts to get pickup kits into the game, without success. Good arguments from both sides.

picking up kits are an essential part of battlefield warfare.
In real life, a troop sees a tank coming yet they have no heavy weps to counter this.. only the kit of a dead soldier..they would not say, we cant use it.
got to be able to adapt and overcome.
if a sqaud is pinned down by an at-st.. and there happens to be a kit from a dead heavy weps specialist.. i want to be able to pick it up, and take that thing out.
Thats just my oppinion, and hope it is implemented some time.

Picking up flags to bring to your base...
Picking up a pilot kit to become a special character that has to be protected for you to win...
Picking stormtroopers' pockets...
Picking up girls...
Picking up your kids from school...
Picking up after your bantha...

The possibilities are endless !

i talked to imperial about the assault lines mode some time ago, the outcome was, that this mode is different from the conquest mode and would need further coding, but well, lets see how things work
