So this is not a problem with the four regular trooper classes, since you can select them right away, and after that on the squad spawn screen, you can see the timer.
And this is what my other suggestion is, though I guess many others won't agree. Not being able to even select your character (if it is a reinforcement/hero/starfighter etc.) can be quite frustrating. Many times you sit there for 4 seconds - while not even knowing where the timer stands, since it's bugged and not visible - looking at an available character, and then someone else yoinks your selection out of the blue.
I know, it's "fair", when you think about it - that other guy has been sitting there for a longer period. But what's the point? If we could select our characters right away, we would not need to watch an available character get taken in the last second. This essentially just forces us to make another decision as to which trooper we want, adding extra time to the already long respawn time.
