I like the game very much but one thing i dislike! Itґs the weakness of the aircraftґs in the game. If you have a group of 10 X - Wings or so and there are 5 Anti - Air - Troopers, yourґre Wings wonґt survive longer than 5 Secs! So in my opinion they are too weak. They must have more HP and do more damage!
But the rest of the game is nearly perfect!

Greetz! :tie:

One thing that been pissing me off is in the demo you DO NOT HAVE X-wing . You will later in tech lvl 4. Those are Z-95 Headhunter :)

if aircrafts hp was increased and were more powerful then all u ppl would say that they are too strong...i think air craft is awsome...ties/x-wings in the tech tree are described as "mobile anti-aircraft units" not base killers. and tie bombers are used to hit army's on the run..guess ya gotta get used to the strategy..dont like it? get a new game or mod or whatever

Tie Fighters are cannon fodder compared to X-Wings. 3 Tie's to 1 X-wing is considered the only odds that the empire will go against X-wings normally.

so, if the (normal) TIE'S are cannon fodder, are they gonna be cheaper than x wings? and what about TIE MK2's? do they appear in the game? and if they do, according to games like TIE-FIGHTER or X WING ALLIANCE, they are (kinda) hard bussiness even for an X WING will it be like this in the game? and why aren't there any imperial assault gun boats?

Assault Gunboats (those with 80 missiles ) were designed to take out capital ships or space stations !! As neither of them appear in GB, that is the reason !!;)

People, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW ANNYOYING this is. EVERY day another person starts to whine IE "the units are too weak, the building are to strong". THEY ARE FINE! Its called game balance and its just so happens that this is the way the game is. :mad:

I agree 100%. If you took the time to actually look at the tech tree you would realize that its not so bad at all. The units all recieve generous upgrade in tech 4 which you cannot play. So wait until the full game comes out before you judge. Now the game is locked its just that you cant really see it all and theres bugs. So tech 3 will be tech 3 in the real game and so fourth
