Ravudha, I disagree. More than that needs to be done. I don't want to play empire. I admit to just shooting randomly at objectives and crashing into stuff on purpose during rounds when I'm empire, just because. And I honestly could care less about being hero ships anymore, myself. Mainly because I would rather have the credits. I haven't seen much advantage to having them except for saying "Oh cool I'm flying the Millennium Falcon."
With an offline mode to star fighter, people could play whatever ships they wanted to whenever they wanted to. And those who didn't care for multiplayer could have that AND the ability to play the faction they wanted.
Sounds like you want a bunch of offline/single player features to suit your game style.
With the multiplayer mode it's not only the best players who get heroes. It's whoever gets above a threshold of battle points - in long matches 75% of a team can get access to heroes. Even if someone's not good now they can learn and improve and get there, I know because I did. It's just effort over time instead of being able to play heroes straight away. I've seen plenty of players get a hero and die fast, so obviously they just managed to do it - they're not top players but they got heroes.
I agree with not having a cap on offline/single player credits earned, that's just blatantly handicapping players for greed.
