Hutt Squads

[Damocles]

While I'm unsure if this is already implemented/too stupid to be implemented, I was thinking that squads of Bounty Hunters/Assassains loyal to the Hutts (while not Tuangs/Darksabers/Military Douches) could be created. It would improve RP considerably in terms of teamwork and generally interacting with other characters, as opposed to the "derp one man versus a bajillion NPCs slaughter" that I've seen on other sites. Dunno if it happens here.

But anyway, if this is a possibility, I'm game for having a small squad (probably between 3 and 6) to go round ****ing shit up. Just bagsying the name The Crows, cos when we gather... -takes shades off- :CScool There's a murder.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

You can join the Bounty Hunter Guild and request a 'group' as it is allied to the Hutts, and so is Labous an Ankou, which is a assassin group for both force sensitives and none force sensitives. Labous an Ankou has a 'pack' system of three, which is the same as a squad.

If you want to learn about other Hutt allies then go to the Hut Empire Alliances thread.

EDIT: Also, welcome to SWRP. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. :)
EDIT 2: Whoops. Edited again. Was being rushed out the door and misread your post.

There was some attempt at doing squads back in September. It didn't seem to pan out that well due to some issues but Santoro might be able to explain what went wrong and maybe you could revive the idea with lessons learned from last time.

It seems I have to address a few things to clarify.

Formerly, the Empire did have bounty hunters and assassins in their ranks. However, when a change of leadership occurred, a draft was enforced and all the bounty hunters turned into normal soldiers. Now, the Empire doesn't have a bounty hunter faction but would rely on our allies or independent contracts.

We did try a structured squad system for a while, and it worked alright but not many people wanted to be a grunt. This brought us to our current system.

Our current system puts a heavier emphasis on command instead of being a shock troop. You can still be a regular grunt and be assigned to an Armada, with whom you'll work.

Hopefully that cleared it up- I'm practically out the door as well so let me know if you have more questions.
