Title: Minor Heroes in ICW
Post by: Silver Cutlass on May 20, 2013, 09:33:48 AM
From what I've seen, early on in Imperial Civil War, the team was having a lot trouble from Minor Fleet Commanders (i.e. spamming) and removed them. Since then, several others have asked for Fleet Commanders to return, but due to this problem they cannot return.

However, I present a solution: Minor Heroes. These heroes would be buildable from certain locations, and would be permadeath like the major heroes, and also would vary from era to era. This could solve the problem of fleet commanders, while also giving each era a little bit more diversity. Here is what I propose:

New Republic:
*Admiral Nammo & the Defiance (Era 1)-- the Defiance was an MC80 Home One-type Star Cruiser that served under the Mon Calamari Admiral Nammo's command from the time of the Battle of Yavin to Endor and afterwards, during the New Republic attacks on the Empire leading up Coruscant.
*Lieutenant Judder Page (Era 2)-- Lt. Judder Page was an Alliance SpecForce Commando with a penchant for destruction, and served during the Thrawn Campaign.
*Captain Genkal & the Naritus (Era 5)-- The Naritus was an MC80A Star Cruiser that has served with the New Republic since the days of the Alliance, and was utilized as an effective Fleet Command Cruiser as it searched for pirates in the Outer Rim.

Imperial Remnant:
*WIP

For the IR Era 5, make one minor hero SSD available to be built wih a lifetime build limit of one. This could then let the mod team add the Viscount in Caamas Crisis, as they would have an effective counter against it.

For everyone but the New Republic, we've already put in all the potentially useful relevant people there are. This kind of thing works better for hero lists that stay static through a normal tech system to allow people to have more hero options without crowding. As it is we already tend to rotate through more, all this would really do is give the New Republic even more heroes than they already have.

For the IR Era 5, make one minor hero SSD available to be built wih a lifetime build limit of one. This could then let the mod team add the Viscount in Caamas Crisis, as they would have an effective counter against it.

Viscount is already in FIP. I don't see the difference between this and just letting them have SSDs regularly in the scenario honestly. Again, this kind of balancing goes back to my phallus measuring contest comments.
