Just to clarify, there was never going to be dark troopers.
BOthans, wookies and Mon Calimarians have all been modelled to varying degrees of quality through out FS's life. They may show up one day...

On a perfect engine we would have a way of keeping them in limited numbers to represent the rebellions pro-zeno attitude, while keeping the movies human majority.

The mod was supposed to be like this originally - with Support being Wookiees and Dark Troopers on every level. In other words, a Battlefront ripoff, one I'm lucky they didn't pursue. FS currently isn't about putting in things just for them to be there (like the Battlefront and Rogue Squadron series do). FS is about providing an authentic SW experience that has the look and feel of the movies. It's determined not to repeat the mistakes of previous games.

Watch the movies. Are there Wookiees running around on Hoth? Nope. Do the Rebels fighting on Endor have access to orbital artillery? Nosir. Do pilots run around on the battlefield repairing vehicles and handing out ammo? No. Does every single encounter with an AT-AT have to be handled by Snowspeeder using tow cables? Apparently, if you trust RS, but hopefully... no.

I strongly dislike it when games put in movie material just for it to be there, and then find that they have to shoehorn said material until it's just not fun anymore. The Jedi training level in Rebel Strike is but one case in point - I could list a dozen more, at least.

I don't like the idea at all.

Just reminds me of battlefront.

Edit: You posted this in updates. Wrong section.

I like the idea of various species in different roles for the rebels
Humans - infantry
Wookies - support
mon calamari - medics
twi-leks - heavy weapons
bothans - officers

I've seen that you worked on the wookies. Will there be some in FS ? And, I have an Idea about it. The Ryuk blade, we could put it back with it ( It's a wookie blade ) And, maybe the wookies will be only on supports ( bowcaster : wookie weapon. sword : wookie weapon. repairing : wookie stuff. )

-Hang on Wookies !

-ROOOAAAR !

-Cool down, Chewbie !
