Noooooo... the exploit/griefing potential in this is astronomical! @The-Forge-Dragon Your idea is an interesting one, but I would say no stacking. You can have at most 1 Veteran at any time. This promotes actually using them before it's too late. The only issue, however, is as people have mentioned, it stretches the divide between experienced players with high-rank Toons and newbies. You could give players without Veterans some sort of alternative bonus when a point is captured, I guess, so it's not unfair.
Personally I always preferred three options... 1.) Vets like they are now, extra stat (in armor most likely), with extra LP, etc. Only one life, maybe 2 (especially if you get the second one because your team did something special in the battle like took a secondary point not relevant to the control points). 2.) Vets have some small bonus, like maybe just 400lp, or even 200lp, or something. And they can just be spawned like a normal loadout with the caveat that players can only have a single Vet class. 3.) The most boring option, the "it's just a skin" option, which works of course, but I would like SOME kind of bonus for having a Vet, even it's small.
if you were to make it per point it wouldn't work but something like after capping all the points at least once then giving you one might work, and as defenders if you hold for a certain time you gain another that way you have 2 lives per match
