Well with this in mind I don’t think I’m missing the point or even totally missing the philosophy behind it. I don’t agree with the concept on how to do it.

I don’t really agree with that, because there is a difference between fantasy and the absurd. I may be wrong, but isn’t the main challenge of any fantasy to appear believable. If you can’t believe in a concept by its own design the lack of illusion kills it. Any game based on infantry combat has a lot to learn from the real world fantasy based or not.

Issuing the team orders, supplying information and general team management should be the primary objective of the class. Individual survivability shouldn’t be far behind.

Setting up fortifications, supplying ammo, and first aid all take away from the main role precisely why officers in the real world don’t do it. They tell people what to do or maybe even how to do it, but they very seldom ever actually do it. Maybe it should be taken in the direction of demi-commnader and less of a jack of all trades master of none.

Well I’m sure even the most lopsided class can be made useful if you can scrounge up and coordinate people to play a team game against an uncoordinated group of random people. Real coordination greatly affects the outcome of any game like this.

By making any class team oriented in a lopsided way it becomes less likely that the normal Joe just wanting to play the game is going to use it. Maybe put more thought into nudging players into team play and rounding out classes in a way that isn’t going to alienate players from using them, because they were designed for the ultimate team player.

Ultimately it’s not my mod it’s just my 2 cents, so do it how you best feel. This is an early version like you said and I’m sure there will be a lot more changes.

Yeah, do they ever call laser strikes in star wars? i cant remember, but if they could that would be something i would add

Also i think that The Preacher is right, being the squad leader isnt about getting kills, its about making your squad more succesful, and let me tell you, I can rack up more points with being an officer then anyone else with not only kills from the turret, but from healing, recharding, and squad leader points.  Whether you could get more points being another class, i dont know, but the officers are extremely helpful and a great addition to battlefield, i just hope they are a little expanded in the future releases

kinda random, but i was wondering whether anyone was bothered by the friendly comment the rebels say "I hope i dont get posted on hoth"
1.  ITS A SECRET BASE!  they shouldnt be blurting it out casually while they are in the midst of a battle with the imps!
2.  In half of the maps, hoth is already destroyed.  Not to mention escape of hoth, i dont even need to explain that, and what about the actualy map where you're on hoth

same thing goes for the imperials and the death star, its already blown up in half the maps
