So yeah...just saw some vids of a trooper wrecking shop...the Republic has been redeemed.
@JB: Kill those civilians/elves/hostages/whatevers!
Have any of you guys seen the video time-line?
They got Lance Henricksson to narrate it.
RE: Advanced classes....both bounty hunter AC;s get the flame thrower ability? Damn, so much for picking powertech.
Yes, I know the Timeline, and I've posted every video
on GameStooge.

Jonah FalconWhelp, I'm stuck between a Trooper and an Imperial Agent. On one hand, noob tubing charging Sith Lords is awesome. On the other hand, walking away from orbital strike explosions is the epitome of badass.
WHY?! Why must this be such a difficult decision?!

The Powertech is designed to get closer than the Merc, who is a long range adv. class.

Jonah FalconThe info on the blog post gives me hope about them making as many advanced classes viable in Pv P as possible. This is important to me.
No.
- Damage (Knight and Inquisitor)
- Heal/Buff/Debuff (Consular and Agent)
- Ranged (Smuggler and Bounty Hunter)
- Tanks (Trooper and Sith Warrior)
Anyway, it's not a 1:1 relationship between classes.
The Empire is all about offense. The Republic is all about defense.

You sure about that?
Jedi Knight and Sith Warrior are melee. The advanced classes are close-range damage, dual lightsabers/close-range damage, tanking, single lightsaber.
The Bounty Hunter and Trooper are heavy-ranged. The advanced classes are mid to long range damage, healing/close to mid range damage, tanking.
The Imperial Agent and Smuggler are light-ranged. The advanced classes are mid to long range damage/close to mid range damage, healing.
Sith Inquisitor and Jedi Consular are casters. The advanced classes are close to mid range damage, tanking/mid to long range damage, healing.
From what that advanced class developer blog said, the relationship seems quite close by intention to me.

Yeah, but the Bounty Hunters do have flamethrowers and missles!
Yes, well, unless Bioware decides to dice that in as a big update after the game comes out to shake things up or as part of an expansion pack, I don't see it happening. :(
