The gunship has several advantages over the large imperial ships. first, it fires missile which ignore shields, so you can take out star destroyer hardpoints using hit and run. The other advantage is the speed boost that lets it perform its hit and r...  [Read More]

I found a way to cure slowdown in space battles. I think it has to do with unit pathfinding. press ctrl-A to select all of your units and press the stop button on the user interface and the game instantly gets smoother. seems to be an issue with dis...  [Read More]

Everytime I attack Polus as the Empire, I end up with massive losses due to the locals. These eskimo jerks have some sort of Ion weapon which disbles any unit they shoot at. The only progress I can make is to use emperor palpatine and darthvader sinc...  [Read More]

you can use their special ability to spot for your long range missile cruisers. They reveal an area in the fog of war temporarily with their sensors. Plus they are slightly better than TIE fighters at dog fights I think...  [Read More]

Turbo lasers are harmless if your ship still has shields up, but ion cannons will drop shields very fast. therefore if you disable the enemy ion cannons first, your ships will maintain their shields for much longer and take no hull damage at all exce...  [Read More]

I did some further testing and it seems the space station always disapears as soon as you take control of the planet. I'm not sure if this always happens or if the ai is selling them?(is it possible to sell space stations?)...  [Read More]

As you are probably aware by now, The imperials can not use raid fleets. a raid fleet is a small number of land units which can sneak past space defenses and directly attack the land base. But the empire does have some tricks. and yes they are very t...  [Read More]

First. can you render the under side view of the engines, the top really shows no details. And secondly. The rebels won because they blew up the deathstar. Even if the alliance fleet was destroyed, the victory of blowing up the 2nd deathstar would h...  [Read More]

Thats because the enemy has a repulsor lift jammer structure on that planet. T2B tanks have repulsor lift engines. put 2 and 2 together. As soon as you blow up the repulsor lift jammer, your tanks will start moving....  [Read More]

If you read carefully on the snow speeder's tow cable attack. it says it will trip a -=Moving=- AT-AT. That means that if your AT-AT is not moving the tow cable will not harm it. I tested this and its true. I tow cabled an non moving AT-AT over and...  [Read More]

Nerfing the planetary ion cannon and hypervelocity gun recharge is fine, but removing the ability to build more is not fair. How often does the home planet ever get attacked. And can you increase the AI aggresiveness once you get it to work again. I...  [Read More]
