Would like to see a skill that increases your total squad size if you're the squad leader. Be nice for logistics players (drop uplinks) and would give people who put a lot of points in it the ability to assume a larger role as a leader, especially if other skills are developed that make squad command its own branch of skills.

Squad Command being a set of passive (or maybe active) skills that increase the effectiveness of your squad as long as you're squad leader. Maybe a skill that adds 1% max shields to all member of your squad per level of the skill. It wouldn't seem like a lot but when maxed it'd be an extra 5% max shields to 4 or 5 people.

Anyone else have ideas similar to this?

I would imagine it'll be implemented similarly to the fleet system in EVE. Squad leadership will give +1 to squad size per level, so at V you can have five people under you for a total squad size of six. Then, presumably, there will be a platoon leadership skill allowing one additional squad per level, allowing five squads under you at level V. That gives you a team of 31.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see skills similar to Skirmish/Siege/Armored/Information warfare (+2% to speed/shield/armor/targeting range per level, respectively) and would imagine that Crusader suits will occupy a role similar to Battlecruisers, in that they provide an additional bonus beyond what the skill does by allowing the use of special warfare link mods.

But this is all hypothetical. There's no guarantee they'll follow the same system they use in EVE.

the idea of a Crusader/Commander leader being like a bastion of inspiration... hah, that would work, but the suits might not get the same pile of PG/CPU that Assault benefit from, might be between that and Scout for it.

all guessing here though, so we should wait and see what CCP has for us, since they are diligently working as we come up with ideas
