As much as I love you Chambers, I don't really agree.
We set it up so that each member of the squad has unique perks, but not the whole fucking SOBDE superbighuge arsenal. The only one that is ACTUALLY getting guns is the EOD. Engineer, Gregor, and Medic have the base weapons still. Its really hard to ask an RC squad, regardless of being in SOBDE or not, to just have a DC-17m, no specializations, and nothing special. Theres a reason most Republic Commandos died on geonosis, and that was because they had to be frontline soldiers. Because of how Gregor lost his squad the first time, he wouldn't really just be ready to be a standing infantryman again, because thats not what he was bred for.
We aren't SOBDE. We don't pretend to be SOBDE. We don't ask for special treatment. Some SOBDE wanted us to put this up as they felt we didn't have enough as it stood. We aren't gonna have MDMK, or any loadouts as such, as we feel THAT would put us over the edge, hence why we took away the guns from the Tech and medic. They are just going to fill support roles, and the EOD is the only one to actually have the full four SODBE guns.
We are still drastically below SOBDE power wise, and it will remain that way, regardless of this posts success or failure.
