Why would the medics items be substituted at all?

For reasons I state in post one of this thread (which has grown to epic proportions) It makes it so that you don't just point-hog or whatever to get upgrades or substitute items, the catch is that you have to give up a kit item in order to integrate it. If you want to have the opportunity to excel at melee combat as a medic, you have to give up the ability to revive and be an asset to your team in that regard. Alternately, it could be instead of the sonic/toxin grenades; you lose the ability to flush out enemies, but gain a quickly-lethal put-down weapon.

We can only make one weapon slot customizable though, which is the main weapon.

The ranking system is not going to effect your in game assets in anyway so this is a moot point, we are not adjusting your weapon loadout or adding any more customisation to that loadout as a result of the ranking system.

I'm not sure what conservatism you're talking about inund8, but the reason we don't have Lightsabers in this game has nothing to do with Noobs, it has to do with the fact that the era we are dealing with in First Strike had next to no Jedi around, and we are concentrating on the common grunt on the frontline of the Galactic Civil War.

And as far as appealing to more people by adding more maps and vehicles? What do you think we're going to release with 1.2? Just the ranking system?

I thought the new release was adding a paltry 2 maps, and a ranking system. Am I wrong?
As to the conservatism, I keep hearing that X is never going to happen, for no good reason, and X is usually something to do with clone wars and it technologies, which everyone knows is waaay cooler than anything we see in the original trilogy

come to think of it... its usually TY whose sayin X will never happen (no reason given) tongue

I sincerely hope that's sarcasm.

dammit , we all know that the purpose of this game is to impress princess leia with your fighting skillz, so you can get her in bed and make little han solos ... This is the target era for that  my friend.
