Is Squad Leader / Commander a class unto itself?

[Malorn]

Right, from what we know squad leading should be fairly straightforward.

Commanding was differentiated from squad leading, which is why I'm wondering if it is a class or how it works. Seems to me they need some sort of limit, and I suspect it'll be related to outfits, where each outfit might get 1 commander per X number of active players or just a static number.

It needs to scale if it is outfit based or you punish larger outfits.

Platoon leader might be another way to do it, but that punishes smaller outfits, though nothing stops smaller outfits from banding together.

They mentioned making empire missions as an outfit commander, which makes sense for the outfit, but they might not let anyone make missions where the entire population can see.

Interesting to see how that works out. I'll save those questions for the next twitter event.

(on that note, I like how they're being all with-the-times with the social media, but havin 293042342342 different channels that they release information just makes it difficult to follow)

Hey, I'm not complaining about that The more info in more places the better if you ask me. And a lot of info is being reported by individual news sources, not SOE itself. The media back in 2003 wasn't as prevalent, at least it didn't seem so compared to today.
