Yes, unfortunately it has been abused – as quite a few people hereabouts are well aware.
I was late into the round during which the incident Twigs refers to took place, but it appeared to me that BH kits had been spawned in for the Rebel team only as a means of disrupting the round and forcing a map vote. 'Abuse' is definitely the word that applies there.
I don't have any issues with players using the BH kit that's hidden on certain maps, nor do I have a problem with organised BH kit sessions such as took place last Friday. Yes, I'd like to have a go with it, and I can't say I was exactly happy at being told 'No' when I asked for one and everyone else on my team was flying around. I did actually manage to pick one up, but it was out of 'flying power' and I was taken out by an AT-ST just as I discovered that fact! But that's by the by...
I'm not sure what it has to do with the discussion here, TIEPilot, but I'm pretty sure the Dev Team intended players to make use of the Support Class kit. I do, so what? If you don't like playing with FF Off, then you won't want to play on RT's server, which is fine by me.


Mmm... vanilla!
