Of course not. We play maps without fighters sometimes, too .

I play as Support 90% of the time. I find that the combination of strong rifle or the incredibly effective DEMP, easy points from repairing, the satisfaction of being a team player and the ability to blow even big stuff up with heavy explosives suits me just fine . The glee you feel when you trap a tank or aircraft with your DEMP and you and your mates slap DetPacks on it for then to take down the crewmen as they bail is unbeatable .

I believe myself pretty firmly to be the first tester to put it to use against aircraft in a test session. We were on Ryloth (the first incarnation), and a TIE Interceptor had done a firing pass or two and came in slowly to take me down. I shot it and watched it fall to the ground, and after it had exploded (I don't remember if it decided to sit on its wingtips and self-destruct or if I Proton Grenade-fried it), I got a "What the heck" from the pilot through the text chat .

Homing EMP missiles would be awesome, if not incredibly overpowered .
