Hell no.

He already has a small truck load of equipment. You want him to be able to hold or "call in" a 700 (approx.) pound probe droid?

well said....
but i think the Mounted Gun could repacked to more with him to the next ponit to help him.
cuase once the gun is deployed the officer is F#@KED if ya know what i mean with that little pee shooter by his side.

i think that the officers could use alittle upgrading, and i think that the probe droids in endor are freakin awesome.  i was wondering if it would be possible to have a probe droid as an item that an officer can use if he say has like 3 or 4 squad mates.  I dont know how you do this, but i think its a good idea

Its not a bad idea really. However what would the rebel officer have?

I would have to say why does the officer have a mounted gun in the first place let alone ammo crate, or bacta? I’ve never seen an officer carry around heavy equipment like that. They don’t serve as semi-medic, semi-supply, and semi-heavy weapons in real combat unless that is their specific job and then they only do one. The team leader/officer isn’t the guy you want deploying and operating a heavy emplaced gun standing up for all the world to take pot shots at.

The (once deployed irretrievable mounted gun) should be given to heavy weapons or support. Give a decent weapon “small carbine” maybe to the officer with the smoke grenades and take away the ammo crate and bacta, because there are already medic and supply units.

Officers should have more logistic abilities related to squad support (like the radar and the spawn beacon they already have) without stepping on the toes of a class that already fills a role. It seems like they didn’t know what to do with the officer so they just gave it a little bit of everything.

I don’t think it would be unreasonable, but not really necessary for the officer to be able to call down an autonomous probe droid to support a full sized squad not just him and one other guy.

Give them a protocol droid to distract and irritate them with BS long enough for the Stormtroopers to kill them.

There is a difference between being important and being a pompous little brat.

Re: Officer with probe droid

The officer class is effective as is imo.

The bacta helps keep himself alive, because he is in fact a mobile (or should be) spawn point. And I think its the squad/clans job to find the best way to use the Officer role, as he is the only 'new' class. But I find myself more often then not throwing a spawn beacon down and respawning as someone more effective.... so a redox wouldnt be bad but I just don't know how'd you go about doing it without having him take an already occupied role.

The probe droid? isnt that the job of the average trooper? They have sensor node things and a mobile UAV making them very important. Use a trooper in your squad and you wont need a probe droid mesthinks. I dun know, maybe I missing something.
