Hello developpers, here's an idea on how you could perhaps improve the Deflection skill (because [1*]) :
Automatic Deflection (With no need of L-mouse button pressure)
This represents the fact the Jedi/Sith isn't completely focused on defense.
Active Deflection (L-mouse button pressure required)
This represents the fact the Jedi/Sith is really being careful about not being hit by blaster shots and more on the defensive.
Skill level (example values):
Level 1 : 10% Active Deflection, 0% Automatic Deflection
Level 2 : 20% Active Deflection, 10% Automatic Deflection
Level 3 : 30% Active Deflection, 20% Automatic Deflection
Level 4 : 40% Active Deflection, 30% Automatic Deflection
Level 5 : 50% Active Deflection, 40% Automatic Deflection
Level 6 : 60% Active Deflection, 50% Automatic Deflection
Level 7 : 70% Active Deflection, 60% Automatic Deflection
Level 8 : 80% Active Deflection, 70% Automatic Deflection
Level 9 : 90% Active Deflection, 80% Automatic Deflection
Level 10 : 99% Active Deflection, 90% Automatic Deflection
Why modifying the current Deflection skill system ?
[1*] The Jedi/Sith in my humble opinion sorely lack a passive defense system.
The unpressing LMB-pressing RMB moment (or the from defense to attack moment for AIs because obviously they are not pressing any button) make them a bit too vulnerable for what they are, and the guys they are sometimes fighting (Count Dooku or Yoda getting taken out by a bunch of pirates ?... Hmmm...). You guys can modify the values I've given above as you wish (I personally think they're quite balanced as they are, but you guys do as you wish), to make Jedi/Siths AI and player more or less vulnerable regarding what you think is a good game balancing, but you still can take that system so as to make Jedi/Siths a bit cooler and avoid them dying in the first seconds of the fight.
BONUS :
Later on, mastering Soresu , one of the lightsaber Forms that potentially will have been implemented in the mod could give you some bonuses on that skill ? Anyways, I'm digressing, giving you more ideas and suggestions...
