Yes that's something I forgot to mention.

Cover would be tricky if only one person can go into cover in a single spot. The way it works for a profession that uses cover is that you will see a green marker showing where you can take cover in any given situation and by hitting the take cover button your character will go to the selected spot automatically.

Not all classes use the cover system though and you don't have to take cover to fight as a smuggler or agent, it just gives you a few bonus' and other attacks.

If you have 4 smuggler/agents and they can all take cover behind the same object then I might not be so bad but also with 4 of anything at your control it should really be your opponents who are looking for cover
