I saw the screenshots and the video. Either way, arguments about the video still apply because they're both promotional media. Also, your confusion about the content of the screenshots proves that the final product will never meet expectations. For e...  [Read More]

Valter you were dead right about my point as generally applied to games, and in this instance of what was shown on the promo, provided that a person viewing it or screenshots didnt know that it was implicitely stated as being very far from what you w...  [Read More]

I did not see the video to know that it was a demo video, I only read what Torpid wrote; but this only reduces my ire, it does not extinguish it. I don't like exaggerated demo vids period. Thats just my opinion. If a company has to resort to such sen...  [Read More]

Also keep in mind that the bombardment shown in the videos for E3 was much more powerful than it will be in the final product (though it is still much more powerful than bombing runs). Why the hell would you bother showing it if it isnt accurate to...  [Read More]

Wedge your idea of Vader being able to launch from the executor is great. They could even give him the ability to return once he has had enough. I really like the fact that after certain tech levels the squadrons automatically upgrade and I am reliev...  [Read More]

How long did your battles go for? I wouldnt call it my best battle, because I think that would be where you overcame overwhelming odds, but certainly the longest was in a campaign where I think I was down to conquering the last rebel planet. The spac...  [Read More]

I am not buying it; I dont see why the units you have described magna should be the only ones that can detect a cloaked ship...the bigger the ship the better sensors it can carry. A fighter is not going to carry better sensors than a battleship, have...  [Read More]

I get what you are saying Xyvik about skirmish over GC. What your saying is true as there is almost no strategic element in 'skirmish', hence the name. Its too small scale. To get any sort of grand or strategic scale you would have to have ground bat...  [Read More]

Landing zones and pop cap actually reduce the ability to employ tactics as these things limit the forces you can deploy. Tactics is not simply about having a versatile force, tactics relates to use of forces in order of battle and performing military...  [Read More]

The landing zones, or as in other games build points, are critical points that the devs want players to fight over. As we all know, ownership of these are an advantage. I like some ideas put forward on here but I cant see the devs changing this. In s...  [Read More]

Thats why I like the "allow heroes" feature in skirmish. If heroes give you the s%*ts then turn them off. It might give some semblence or at least the illusion of realism. I like realism alot but the Star Wars concept itself is based on its...  [Read More]
