With Battle Meditation it states that u can give simple orders, exactly what does that mean? Give maneuver or what?

You telepathically transmit a simple order to affected characters. They hear you in their head and can understand you even if they don't speak your language. The full description explicitly states that the order isn't mandatory, so the affected characters aren't forced to obey it. As far as "simple" goes, I'd suggest keeping it to five words or less.

Would it make sense to allow a boost for Mass Combat when using this function?

Maybe?

I think it's worth mentioning that this system has proven there can be more than one version of a force power. For example there's "Foresight," and then there's "Warde's Foresight" which is different, and arguably pretty dang powerful.

So, I'm kinda inclined to say that there's "Battle Meditation" that's good for primarily small groups, and then we may eventually see something like "Bastila Shan's Battle Meditation" that's more Mass Combat oriented.

That said... If you had a Commander and a Battle Meditator in the same Ops Center, I'd be wiling to entertain the idea that the Battle Meditator's influence might warrant a boost or two...

To me that is probably the best way to use it. Not sure where they pulled this Force power from.

Perhaps, but Mass Combat rules don't show up in the FaD Core (or in any FaD product) so the rules are obviously not going to cover it.

I think they should have saved Battle Meditation for a splat book where they also included Mass Combat rules. That way the two could be integrated. The upcoming Clone Wars era books could have been perfect for it.
