Large Outfit "vs" Small Outfit -- Will the small guys voice matter?

[Zendo]

Am getting a bit...well... I feel like a lemming in the really really large outfit. Sure the large scale fights are really great, and I'm not saying there are no tactics... in fact, the coordination of multi-tier command structures is amazing. Its a powerful and solid playstyle.

But lately, I've been wanting to spend more time outdoors... maybe with a baslisk, a sniper rifle, or a small team .... an assault buggy, etc.

From an EXP perspective, no matter how you are involved in a capture, you are still rewarded. I think the versatility of PS is wonderful..... and the fact that players can have fun in various sized teams.

I am wondering how the built in command ranks will flow with the extremely large outfits, who basically play the game as if they were the only ones in the empire.... not that they dont respect and enjoy fighting along side their empire-mates, but when running 5 or more squads, if a large outfit focuses, it really doesnt need to pay much attention to the other outfits. Sure, they still work along side them, but will there need to be a reason to coordinate with them? Will the large outfits ignore the CR channel abilities in favor of their own will?

Will JoeShmoe who is CR5, and has a solid 10 man squad have any voice at all in the scheme of things? My guess is he will be carted around by the large outfits, who because of their numbers, superceed the command rank channels. This is not because the large outfits mean to disrepect Joe, its just that he isn't really a factor in what they do... another 10 people... might not be worth the time to factor into their next move.

Again, I am NOT dogging the large outfit, I'm just wondering how it will play out.

Just some food for thought.
