Kudos to Harewood for find out about the new Imperial Agent class! I have to say it's truly made my day and I now have a class for Mr. Dekkar!

For those that haven't got a clue what I'm rambling on about click here.

So although we don't have much to go on I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on this new class?

Personally I'm ecstatic about it for several reasons. Firstly because it fits our guild perfectly, secondly I can't wait to play one, and thirdly by the looks of things they seem to be heading down the root of a high-tech assassin with a knack for infiltration. I truly think this class is gonna be really fun to play.

I hope we can paint the speeder

tbh I'm withholding my opinion, although i'm glad they've been confirmed I still need to know how they'll play and how "sithy" they'll be, i'd have prefered something more neutral, although looks like Ril will have to be one when i play it

At last confirmation on this class, now I can finally begin to make up my character details As Sureshot mentioned, assassins look is very nice and I hoped for a shady character like this, from the look of it, specializing in taking care of things quietly and unnoticed .

I do like the look of the class, but I now sense a huge wave of Imperial Agents about to be made

(not just yourself Dugo, I know other people were interested too!)

I think any pouting from BioWare saying they're "not mirroring classes" has to be finally put to bed now, regardless of what they say!

For Sith we have

Ranged DPS = Bounty Hunter
Melee DPS = Sith Warrior
Rogue = Imperial Agent
Other class = ??

For Republic we have

Ranged DPS = Trooper
Melee DPS = Jedi Knight
Rogue = Smuggler
Other class = ??

Oh no, BW... of course they're not mirrored.

Here, borrow this /facepalm.

there has to be some type of support class

I think the Jedi/Sith might double up as maybe healer/crowd control?

I'll Stick with BH thank you

Try as I might I just can't really get excited about this class. I'm very pleased to see the variety but my indifference probably stems from the fact that I won't be playing a SW fantasy roll. Yes, I get the cool factor with Zam but even though she's figured quite a lot in the expanded stuff I really don't feel any connection to the character like I do with Han/Luke/Bobba/Vader.

I expect I'll get more interested when they start giving us proper info on class mechanics. This class has the potential for a lot of scope (so long as they don’t just give out a slicing kit and a sniper rifle and think "job done" )

Not the class representation I was expecting but still a good addition to the game.

Well I had been eagerly awaiting this announcment, to confirm that this class would be my main . And by the result, it is firmly confirmed now. ( I believe last one will be kinda supportive char and I really don't like that role )

I think that if I do get around to playing the supportive role then I'll be saving that for when I play on the side of the Republic.

This is quite an interesting thread actually:

It seems that the Agent is either pretty damn popular or it's just current hype.
