Choose 1-2 only. If you are not planning in certing at least a 2:1 ratio of the two you choose, please only select the primary one even though you can vote for multiple.

I believe this will give a better representation of of the community without getting bogged down into tertiary roles.

We dont even know if Commanding will be a own class and what else is part of the class, or if it is part of every class.

Stop making useless threats already guys! :P

I remember Higby saying somewhere that Commanding will be a skill learned along side everything else and not along side Battle Rank.

I'll mostly be a grunt, but if medics are 100% necessary I'm sure I'll be putting some points into it.

I still believe you spend your certifications, like everything else, to unlock/upgrade things though.

The point is, presumably, from what we've been told, you train command like any other skill tree, and then spend up to your BR. The point being, there's no CEP or CR to have to lead squads to earn.

The limiting factor on commanders will be demand/opportunity to lead squads.

If the ratio of commanders to commanded is too high, people will stop spending time training the commander skill tree because they're not getting a chance to use it, and don't have the certs to shine in the things they're ending up doing instead, like infantry grunting or driving vehicles.

If the ratio of commanders to commanded is too low, people will get sick of being stuck leading a squad without good command tools (like issuing missions, presumably) to really provide their squads with the right tools, and will start training up the commander skill tree.

Command should be reserved for those who truly want it. It should be the hardest of all the roles to master by far.

Voted for Fighter Pilot and Medic. However i think i will add skillpoints in most of the classes. I am not an expert in a particular class then, but in that way i can adept to many situations.

Infantry and fighter pilot if I had to choose two roles.

Commanding is fun and all, but I don't think I'm quite creative or charismatic for that job.
