To be absolutely honest, customizable classes scare me a little. I the way I picture it is allowing some customization per class, and developing a more tactical element (like having a class with snow armor for Hoth or Rhen Var (sorry if there is a misspell) ), and you have templates of your classes that you can trade with friends etc. online.

I remember FRD's version had something like that, but I don't remember all that well

you should be able to choose your soldier's gender at the very least. the alliance sniper was the only woman character. also, a simple species change would be cool (ie. rodian, gungun, weequay) these subtle changes will make everyones character unique while not affecting game balance.
EDIT: oh and i want to make a fat pilot like in episode 4 (joke)

That would be cool. Also be able to play as different alien species.

Only one problem I can see with changing species:
Republic: All human clones
Empire: All human clones
CIS: All robots
Rebels: Now it is possible to have different species for these guys.

Forgot about that as the downside.

It's also not really that important. Although a neat, and not to hard to implement idea, it isn't really all that important in a game like BF. Also, most Rebellion soldiers that I can remember were male anyway, not to be sexist. I'm not a huge fan of any customization in a shooting game as I play it to follow what the developer laid out for me. If I want customizable weapons and armour I'll play a RPG.

Maybe Rebel soldiers saying, "it was my last day before retirement," just before they die.

So to counter this we make an extra class, kinda like a local species class. Fully customizable apperance(but not speciies) and weapons. Im not good with SW names and stuff anymore, heck its been almost 3 yrs since I have even watched the movies, but theres one planet with tht Calamaari species and some other one. In the original CW cartoon the calamari were allied with the republic while the other dudes CIS, so BF3 could make it so that on that planet only those species would be available as the extra class. On naboo the rebublic could have gungans while Im sure they can find another species for CIS and so on. kinda like how in the old BF game certain factions had local help, but this time they should change tht local help so that its just an exclusive class to tht level, it sure as hell would help balance the game too instead of always giving one team the advantage.
and sorry for the wall of text, had a long night so cant say i care much for grammer at the moment lol.
