How do I get more rebel officers?
Rebel Officers and their X-Wing and Z-95 air support are invaluable, and I would like to use more officers, but I can't make them. The Intelligence Center's description says that I can recruit field commanders from there, but I don't have the option to make them once I build it. I'm unsure if this is a bug, or if it is intentional.

If not being able to make officers was an intentional choice, then I disagree with the decision. I understand if I'm supposed to use them cautiously because they are finite, but IG-88 and other bounty hunters keep assassinating them which you can't do anything about.

EDIT: Turns out the bug is due to infantry build limitations in EAW. I solved the issue by selling by last two officers, which then allowed me to build five more. Apparently this can also be bugged if your last officer (or other special unit) is killed by a bounty hunter, and you will not be able to build more but I cannot confirm.

I think it is intentional, but I totally agree with you. Playing as the Empire, I'm down to only one Imperial officer in the galaxy because all the others were killed by bounty hunters. The problem's made even worse because some Black Sun heroes, such as IG-88, are glitched so that they don't have to respawn after being used and instead get duplicated. I think my galaxy has about 5 IG-88's in it by now because of this.

I think the same thing also applies to high end infantry units, for the Empire, all the units buildable with the elite barracks are finite, meaning after a while there is no point to having one.

Because of weird Build limits with infantry in EAW, all units of that type have to be dead in order to rebuild any of them

This is true, although it is also worth noting that the same bug which sometimes prevents a hero rescue mission showing up also applies here, so that if the death of your last field commander isn't detected properly by the game you'll never get any more of them.

In terms of build limits these are annoying, but can be partially allieviated if you're willing to build 5 in one go, since it will continue through items already in the build queue even when the limit is passed. You can therefore have 5 units of imperial shock troops for example.

Turns out that EAW has weird build limits. If you sell your last officer, it will then allow you to build five more.

Yup. I just tried selling my last two officers and now I can build five more. Thanks for the information!
