Wow three whole pics...hehe..just kidding..they're great. That pic of Mara Jade reminds me of a pic i saw of here somewhere at startwars.com. Man she looks like a pudgy trashy jersey chick with all that humongous, frizzled, over hair sprayed hair and that bandana head band on her head. Why Luke ever hooked up with her i dont know. Was nice to see a lot of the hero units though. Btw is the queen's ship just a background prop or is it an acutal unit that can move around and do stuff?

So why do people at all these sites (heavengames. starwarsbattlegrounds) keep classifying these things as "toybox" units if its not a unit. Things like that go and get a person's hopes up. If its a toybox prop then call it a toybox prop so people will know if that object will be usuable or not.

PhantomMenace: SWGB Heaven refers to objects in the scenario editor as "units", not "props" because there are basically two types of objects used by the SWGB game engine. 1) Buildings, used to create/research, and 2) units (anything else). The term "Unit" does not denote movement or anything else, only the fact that it is a usable object.

Porkins and Lord Tirion, you are the best, but you suck because you have the game before all of us.

Only complaint, why is Yoda so freakin' huge?!?!? He should be Anakin's size or something but he's almost as tall as the Emperor.

I dont have it yet =( Hopefully by tomorrow I will. Me and Jinn found out we live by each other and we called up the local mall (Babbages) and they said they could very well stack the shelves with it tomorrow. They have it in the back but just havent brought it out of the backrooms yet for the public. Lets just pray. I really want to jump on the zone and get some huge 3 on 3 DMs going. I waited over a year for this game to come out as have you all, so you can just see the anticipation literally hehe.

I was talking with him until the wee hours of the morning. He was playing the campaigns and did not have time to take more screenshots. I will ask him if he could get one of the advanced X-Wing of other units to see their full stats =P

A "unit" as classified by the RTS genre is a part of your army that can perform tasks for you to help your cause such as build, attack, move other units around and recon. If it cant do any of those things, then its a prop that goes with a certain tileset. In Age of Kings you could place little blue and white tents on the ground in the scenario editor. These little tents looked cool but unlike all the other building it couldnt do anything for you. You could probably make it a trigger for some event but on a whole its just a background prop for you to add to your map to add eye candy. If the queen's ship doesnt build things, allow you to research or provide some kinda help to your army then its a PROP plain and simple!!!! The Queen's ship IS a prop and therefore should not be placed under a listing of toybox "units" because it is neither a unit nor a building...it is pretty looking tent...get the picture!

Tie Guy:

I think the first screenshot of the trade fed army was in 800x600 view. The rest looked to be 1024x768. I also converted them from .bmp to .gif so I think it may have lost some quality and sharpness to it. I hope this answers your questions.
