Good point... what should we specialise in then?  Or shall we try and go jack of all trades, if possible.

Could you split an outfit into sections? as in, is there a game mechanic for it?

Derailing doesn't exist, derailed is the natural state of every thread.

Not sure, will probably have to wait for the beta for that sort of thing.

I'll just go ahead and volunteer for combat piloting/transport piloting duties.

Oh god no! Anything named "_____ Liberation Army" is a bunch of revolutionaries who go around burning people and raping their houses.

Yeah... what do you think the NC is?

A group of noble freedom fighters opposing an oppressive government? Y'know, like Biggs and Wedge and all the other guys that got killed to death. That's how I choose to think about it. Well, sans the death part. I want none of that. :P

Wedge didn't die when you think and is probably the most awesome you can be in that universe without being a jedi. Wedge > Han Solo. For all I know he even outlived him as I never got that far in Star Wars lore. I quit reading when the Empire and the New New Republic teamed up against the only sentient force immune (maybe force countering is a better way to put it) aliens ever (who are some kind of biotech religious empire of a small number of slave races as fodder and a leader race, juggernaut jihading out of no where)

Dammit I just admitted I'm a nerd

EDIT: Also I stopped being into Star Wars fiction when they started making new movies so if they retconned that damn them. I read a lot of the books set after the movies though when I was younger.

Is it just me, or do we have way too many scout/infiltrators? And very little cannon fodder?

EDIT: Grammar error, "to" does not equal "too"

speaking as a pilot, I feel we have more than enough.

no modern army has won a battle without having air superiority

I would like to volunteer for piloting duties as well.  Though I'm also happy to be a light infantry/engineer when not in an aircraft.

Yeah, some more Engies and Soldiers would be good, but if everyone is taking basic MAX certs, I guess we have enough ground dakka already.

So, we are focusing on infiltrators/demolitions for our infantry, and vehicles and massed MAXes to back them up when they are outgunned?

One thing to keep in mind is, this could all change once we get in game. Some people will find they love other jobs, and for all we know maxes could be insanely expensive to deploy.

And the best part is you don't have to remove your pilot certs to start gaining infantry or infiltrator certs!

I keep forgetting that you can cert in everything given enought time/effort. Which is good considering the limited resources for tanks/air units etc.
If someone exits a tank, can you jack it from them? Or are they bound to player/faction. Any ideas? (We could really use more information on the game, too bad Beta is going to be NDA'd).

I'm not sure you can cert in everything.  I could have sworn there was a cap to how much you could cert.

I thought you had a beta key timferius?  And you currently can't jack enemy vehicles.
