Well true, that would also be cool. But civilians would certiantly be nice. Its wierd to see empty towns and citys. It would likely cuase a huge amount of lag if there where alot of civilians, or ai controlled things (creatures, driods, etc.), but a few would likely be do-able, and inject just a bit of life into areas where it should exist. Plus I like the idea of civilians being able to aid teh team they side with in different ways, like showing randomly placed hidden weapon stocks (think GC's pick up kit upgrades, like the heavy repeatin blaster).
