Ghost in Platoons? Seriously?

OP is right to mention that. Ghost is needed in the operations on Lothal. And in the same zone it is obligatory to use Ghost for the ship battle on Kessel. So a guild member has to scrifice his Ghost and can't do the battle.

Platoons are the most important thing

I don't know that there was ever a rule, but when DS Geo TB first came out we faced this issue and CG specifically said it was not their intention to have a unit required for for both missions and platoons in the same phase. They are now calling "platoons" "ops missions" but it's the same thing. Whether it's a rule or not is debatable. We do know that CG has said that this is not an intentional element of design.

If the ghost was not a mandatory ship for the CM, then this issue would not have been raised

I am just asking for an official TB rule which excludes that a toon or a ship can't be needed for an operation and a mission aswell. Obviously nobody can give me an answer. Isn't this room here to discuss? I didn't say I couldn't be wrong.
And sorry that I don't have a trustworthy name like you, DonPuto.

We will continue the practice of excluding factions/characters from Platoons where those factions/characters are required somewhere else in the same vertical slice.

I mean sure they changed the name from platoons to operations it is still the same. 6 years ago they said they wouldn't do it, yet they did it multiple times in RoTE

We are unlikely to see any changes in the near future. But I really hope that by the next TB the developers will remove the mandatory characters for CM from the platoons. Or mandatory characters will be removed from CM.

They would have to know that they did it, which is clearly not the case as evidenced by them making a big show of removing some Inquisitor and then being asked why they didn't also remove the other one and going "oh."

Someone provided you a direct quote proving this was not CG's intent. Maybe their intentions have changed, but they haven't told us. So, it's very reasonable to assume this is an oversight and call it to CG's attention.

Obviously nobody cares, you see there is no reaction. This was a quote from 2017 about vertical slice. There is not a single word in the version of 2022 from CG_SBCrrumb. Only that you have to fill the operations with careful forethought and planning.

At least one person cares. I admit that I don't care because combat points are such a small piece of total TP in this TB.

It doesn't matter when the quote came from, imo. Until they say something that contradicts it, or until they have a consistent action history to indicate otherwise, it should be assumed to be their intent. And we shouldn't be surprised by people wanting clarification.

You are free to feel otherwise, of course, and say that statements have a shelf life and their most recent action is enough evidence to you that CG has changed their intended practice. But you can't expect that to satisfy everyone.

There's also nothing saying that all of their established standards are being thrown out the window.

This one is the last and current one. There is not a single word that they have the intention that a toon/ ship can not be required for both.
And what I mean is that everytime someone opens a thread to show a bug, a mistake or something else IMPORTANT what has to be checked there is a reaction within a few hours or sometimes the next day. But here it is not the case.

What a weird take. Sure, CG could have changed their mind, but they never said so, and based on them trying to get things back in line (like when they swapped out that Inquisitor from a planet they were required on) we can safely assume their intent is still not to have required characters in platoons.

Also, CG never reacts "within a few hours," and very rarely "the next day." Just because they don't acknowledge someone's concern doesn't mean they won't act on it later. The only thing you're right about is the fact that CG doesn't care if their game is wrong or not.
