Re: Lack of order in the servers, we need the commander back

Thats screwy server I suppose then.

JeRk, the commander is virtually useless in this mod. Typing works fine, if you have motivated individuals who also want a good gaming experience. Just 30 minutes ago I was "commanding" the entire Imperial team with the help of another motivated player, we got the Gallofrees on Hoth Escape destroyed so fast you would have missed it if you had blinked.

Explanation: The majority of our team were team players looking for a fun/movie experience.  So they listened to us. Just because they noticed someone taking charge and leading the team. Thats what it takes to have good games and teamplay. Even with a commander you HAVE to have the good quality players to take charge and get sh!t done. Because in the end all it is is one player suggesting what the others should to do. Being commander just gives you little icons, which could actually interfere with SL commands if he is trying to give detailed tactical commands. 

I had a group of EIGHT TIE bombers closing in on one Gallofree in one of those rounds. It was intense and I am proud of our players enthusiasm for teamplay. Commanders are clearly unnecessary.

Re: Lack of order in the servers, we need the commander back

Then there are the peeps who obviously pay attention to nothing but what they have in there skulls at that time.
Im piloting the Gallofree to the beacon..trying to be sly, and not bee-line it to the point.
Kind of circling around to the backside of the enemy forces.
Because i was so far out of the way, only bombers and fighters came after me.
Easy to defend. I was the only one in the ship, had a couple fighters that i was coordinating this escape with.
Some guy named ThePeru, spawns in my ship, and takes the pilot position, while i was switched to a gunner position.
ThePeru takes my ship turns it around.. and heads right towards the center of the map where all the fighting is at.
Spamming bail out , to him did nothing. posting message after message did nothing.
The ship was destroyed, I died, he died, we lost.
PAY ATTENTION, Know the Objective. coordinate your attacks and defensive strategies.
ok, got that off my chest, all better now!

Do..or do not, there is no try !

Aye an aeriel bombardment would be cool on some maps. It wouldnt on maps such as endor, hoth etc and interior maps.
