I think including other races de-facto into the rebel army would be a little awkeward. I think Wookies' etc. would best be introduced on a map that has to do with that race's home planet. A map on Kashyyk would be awsome ... I would like to see a wookie soldier as an option to the rebel army on that map only ... perhaps the wookie can be configures with different weapons loadouts for variation. I also wouldn't be opposed to an all wookie army on Kashyyk ... but how would the commo rose work speaking as a wookie? Aaarrggh!

Pick up kits I can do without just as I am happy without the parachutes from 2142. I do think, though, that players should be more limited in their weapons loadout. Rather than a player who has it all and can do everything on his/ her own, I think a class should have access to a selection of gadgets based upon the main weapon within the class they choose.

For example, a Trooper who selects the sniper rifle should have access to the binoculars and other sniper/ recon associated gear where the Trooper who selects the blaster rifle should have access to the scanner droid and stationary scanner rings etc.

I think if we make each soldier more specialized then he/ she will have to rely more on teamwork and squad-play to survive and win.

Also, and this might be a little off topic, I think we need to introduce some persistent stats to FS. I think we should have wins, losses ... stats that reflect team-work and group play, perhaps ranks too. I think we need to add a little something to attract new players and say, "hey, its worth playing this game for the long haul as you can accumilate stats and ranks based on how well you help your team win". Of course we dont want to attract the hack/ cheeat crowd so its a balancing act in that reguard.

TY,

That's too bad. What about just splitting up the classes into Trooper and Sniper? Is there a limit to the number of classes you can have in a given map?
