*SPOILER* If you havent finished the campaign yourself you might want to look away and save yourself the same disappointment I felt when I watched the sixth sense on dvd and watched the extra features first and spoilt the big twist for myself...let t...  [Read More]

Haha welcome to EaW. Honestly 180 point fleets are uncommon. I dont think I have ever encountered one bigger than about 150. The AI usually withdraws even a big fleet such as this when I bloodied its nose; they build up and keep harassing you. Like i...  [Read More]

Welcome Apostolos. I enjoyed your rather sedate analysis of the game. A few of us (myself among the worst offenders) are rather more animated and vicious, so its good to have some normal people around. Its been mentioned before but i was surprised i...  [Read More]

10 Keldabe and 10 Aggressor.....that is nasty! Bravo for the victory. As for using the interdictor, I always put the interdictor in the centre of my ships which are in a tight formation. The interdictor field is not very big and will not cover a flee...  [Read More]

I get the same feeling of dread when I see them but they dont do much damage to me because I give them the respect and attention they deserve. Interdictors are far more useful now but I could see that if you dont use them the MC30 would really hurt y...  [Read More]

That is weird...there seems a disproportionate amount of ISDs used compared to other ships....only 15 Int Sdqns and 4 VSDs lost compared to 5 ISDs? AI must have gone for broke and teched up fast. Before day 20 youre fighting MCs?? Are you starting...  [Read More]

My feeling is there is no consideration for another patch. Not yet anyway. And if one is released in the short term it will only be a bug fix and not change units. I havent seen too much cheating in the way of GC although I have heard of some nasty s...  [Read More]

GC is fine since its not simply pure space battles, its space skirmish that really doesnt work. Bwings do work well against the Vengeance unless there are some crusaders around. None of the ZC ships are invulnerable its just their comparative strengt...  [Read More]

YertL is right...if the enemy has been able to amass enough resources to have both the DS and SSD you havent put enough pressure on them. As for the three cap ship heroes; Thrawn and Piett are useful but far from invincible. They are not cheap in s...  [Read More]

Wedge you are absolutely right. You really can’t judge the ships effect on the game overall by comparing them separately/against each other but you know you can compare the two against each other and this is why Tears and Shadow are so upset. I ha...  [Read More]
