Topic: Suggestion for Imperial Medic and Engineer Class...

Hey I was just browsing on Wookiepedia today and I found out that there is actually a Imperial Surgical Corps which are the field medics basically. Here's what they look like.

And the article.

They probably shouldn't be used on the snow maps like Rhen Var or Hoth though.

Also the Support class should imo look like the Enginner from the films. Here's what they look like but I'm sure most of you know how they look already.

These wouldn't be used on Hoth, Rhen Var, or Endor.

I think it would be more accurate to replace the in-game storm trooper medic and support models with these.

Those 'engineers' arent engineers.....  this is what the article says:

'Imperial gunners were members of the Imperial Starfighter Corps who manned the various weapons of the Empire's capital ships, military bases, and, most famously, the Death Stars.'

They appear as engineers in Battlefront but that game is hardly canon.  It always puzzled me why they were included in it.

Re: Suggestion for Imperial Medic and Engineer Class...

But it says military bases so doesn't that mean plantetary bases? And Battlemaster if you read my post I said they wouldn't be used on Endor or maps like Hoth because they have their own special model.

Re: Suggestion for Imperial Medic and Engineer Class...

Those are Deathstar Gunners. They handled large scale weaponry and were a subclass of Tie pilots. Deathstar gunners were usually either TIE pilots in training or failed TIE pilots. Sounds to me about as far from ground combat support as you can get really.

The Imperial Navy troopers , that are the support troopers in FS, performed numerous duties. Combat, security, hangar duties , logistics etc

The support class in FS isnt an engineer only(besides, the Deathstar gunner was only used as an engineer in SWBF2) He supports all facets of combat, performing various duties in support of the main troopers. Thus the reason the Navy Trooper was chosen for support.


As for the Medic. I think it looks alreet. Got a feeling it would look much better in reality (well, not in cartoon anyway) . Tho as far as lore goes and people going "wtf a green stormy!" , I'll just leave it there.

Re: Suggestion for Imperial Medic and Engineer Class...

So it's definite that they were never on the ground? They were only in starbases and the Death Stars?
