Loved that mod, and SK, I agree with you about the kits fully to this day!

Didn't it used to run on a dial up connection or am I thinking of something else?PS. Woot!!!! 500 posts= Sith Apprentice 
I used to be the numero uno flying Sniper in it. I literally glided through air as I sprinted and pot-shotted people out with ease. I was an annoying fatherless child when playing that class. Anyone who played the mini-map tournament back then will remember The Harlequins and their fearsome way of battling.
Also, nothing beats flying the Millenium Falcon with friends over TS2 manning the guns. Unstoppable!
Judicator was my favorite map.

I meant that in the context of 'every class'. The DEMP is an exception, as most classes do not have one 
. Most classes, with the exception of only HWS and Support that I can think of, are also unable to take on Firehawkes and T1-Bs.
In FS, however, it doesn't matter if your sniping hideout is compromised by the enemy, because every class in FS, from sniper to officer to tank hunter to medic to engineer, is an Army of One who can take on just about any threat you can name except aircraft and heavy tanks.
Agreed. My major bugbear is the pistols, so your rifle is poop at long range shooting, just reach for that pistol and go sniping. Absolutely ridiculous. No sidearm should be that accurate over such long range and I will not accept the argument of it being a laser so it must be accurate. If thats the case rifles should be deadly accurate and all the weapons would be one hit killers.

Edit:
Just before one of the dev's or lore monkeys comes back to me saying how the DL-44 was famed for it's accuracy etc, please also look at it's effective range, 25 metres optimum, 50metres maximum, thats accuracy not the actual range of the projectile for those that may get confused.
Compare this to FS: The Support has a knife, pistol, rifle or DEMP, generator (yes, that heavy thing it took two stormies to carry in Empire Strikes Back when they set up the E-Web) two proton grenades, two antipersonell mines, and a droid caller for an astromech droid. And to think that when FS was first released, Support was slammed for not having grenades, too.
In GC, you actually had major, and I mean major, differences between what the highly specialized classes could and could not do. The Scout was an incredible marksman and sniper with his sprint and camouflage tarp (boy, do I miss that tarp), but dead meat in an actual firefight - heck, his rifle didn't even have crosshairs ! In FS, however, it doesn't matter if your sniping hideout is compromised by the enemy, because every class in FS, from sniper to officer to tank hunter to medic to engineer, is an Army of One who can take on just about any threat you can name except aircraft and heavy tanks. Even more so with the Withering Fire system (which is still great in and of itself).
Were it up to me, the classes would be split up into specialized sub-classes, like sniping, scouting and spotting for artillery and bombers; tank hunting; combat engineer duties; assault, etc. Each class would carry only the equipment he needed for his specialized job, and which classes were available would be up to the map (no use for tank hunters in Mos Entha, for example). If this didn't work - I'm finally figuring out why TY2D2 pushed like mad for this back in the day - implement an FH2/PR Armoury system or something. I'm serious, I've converted . I don't care if it's a boogeyman "PR feature", something like it is needed for FS.
Been a daily player pretty much from 0.4 til the end.
Still love it, always installed and up for a revival game
