Do you believe with the tech tree ending at ANH but going a little farther that there will be a lack of units?Or a lack of variety?

I don't think we will be disappointed by the number of units. They include many units that are not in ANH but are said to have been around at the time. I think there only could have been a few more ships had the gone past ANH, like the B-Wing, which isn't going to be included. But no, I don't think there will be a lack of units, or lack of variety.

I think the disappointment in units [for me] will be the fact that they ended the techs at ANH or somewhere along there. I would have loved it if there were some [post ROTJ] EU.

So far I think the rebels have a greater advantage star fighter wise, with the X-Wing, Y-Wing, and A-Wing. I find it a disapointment that they couldnt just go ahead and add a few more ships from the rest of the original trilogy. I would also like to see just a few more episode three fighters and technology seeing as the game is supposed to bridge the trilogies.

I think Lucas Arts needs to release more information though before I make up my mind.

But with the way you acquire the X-Wing, as a rebel you might not even get it if you fail.

DMUK - and that's a good thing?

I'm just glad the game will be easily moddable so I don't have to play the train wreck that EaW is becoming.

Because filling the gameplay holes is a bad thing?

The only thing at the moment that dissapointed me was that the Acclimator cannot transport Units (and isnґt able to land on planets). I thinks the acclimator is mainly a Transport and should be used as one...

From the trailers and screenshots I've seen, there's already more than enough units to satisfy my craving. I mean if you think about it, we already know there is a larger variety of units in this game than there are in SW Rebellion which is a major point of comparison just looking at screenshots and the trailers. Especially in the land part.
There may not be 300 unique units, but if there were I'd probably go nuts trying to keep up with each one's stats. No I think they'll have a pretty good balance of units not a ton and a half, but more than enough plus upgrades, plus heros = a lot of variety.

That is true but having more information on the units is always essential to the game, so I may sway between wanting more information and thinking there is enough.

I don't think the variety of units is going to be a disappointment. Especially if they are pulling from the EU.

They did say that they would have some ROTJ stuff, so I don't belive there will be a lack.

The EU from the books had so many units not seen in the films on both sides, it's incredible. If they add these, which is what I've heard, no one will be disappointed with the diversity of troops and equipmetn available.

Correction, the Tech Tree ends at ANH, the timeline does not exist, you end the game when you complete the victory conditions(whatever they will be)
