no, you don't HAVE to be the Zann Consortium, you can be Rebel or Imperial... and no the game doesn't have cheats just like EAW :) Yeah - Petro are basically Westwood Studios remade. Not the biggest fans of cheating.... :p...  [Read More]

That's scary. Yup. I'm getting the impression that Darth Khasei is a full time ZC player. It's the only reason why he would think a side that is all advantages and has virtually no disadvantages (beyond having to pay a bit more - which is directly c...  [Read More]

However, the other issues concerning play balance I just don't "agree" with, not that they are incorrect per se, see the difference? So.... you don't agree that being able to build superior capital ships anywhere is unbalanced? You don't a...  [Read More]

And the only ion bolts we've ever seen in the movies are actually red. :) I haven't had a chance to try the bombardments yet, but I can definitely see an ion bombardment being useful (and I can't imagine Princess Leia or Mon Mothma ordering turbolas...  [Read More]

I think his point is that the rebels ion bombardment only disables vehicles and shields, which is'nt that useful when their opponents can use proper turbolaser bombardments (which makes sense - why on earth would u only use Ion beams? They do sod all...  [Read More]

Tie-Defender: In the Tie-Fighter game it was the fastest ship there, I seem to remember the A-Wing had a speed of 120(forget the unit) and the defender had a speed of 156. All in all I think the ZC isn't impossible to beat, it just makes the game no...  [Read More]

The game manual does mention that if you remove corruption on a world where the Consortium has corrupted the militia, the world will revolt and become neutral. Seems like a funny thing to happen with 100% certainty to me (if you have a full garrison...  [Read More]

I'm not sure if this was a bug, but I'm sick of this business when you clear corruption from a world and destroys your space station and all structures. That was silly. And I'd like some E-Wings and K-Wings - X-Wings get eaten alive by the hundereds...  [Read More]

OK, so the GC is not sticking to the storyline of the films. that's good as its allows more freedom. Any ideas though on how to get Luke in the GC? I'm at tech lvl 5 playing "An equal footing" and can't see an option to get him. It's a bu...  [Read More]

Haha, I just found a funny illustration of the ZC's imbalance: http://www.esl.eu/de/empireatwar/foc/1on1/news/30106/ It's a german cup and they explicitly exlude the ZC as a party for balance reasons: I just find it funny that they appear to be so O...  [Read More]

Sounds like another bug. The Vengence cruisers are those weird, cross shaped mass-driver toting things, yeah? They do appear tough - but I've found a fully equipped Assault Frigate is enough to bring them down. Some Y-wings are a big help. Oh, and y...  [Read More]

Actually, I've not had much bother with the Corrupt faction (beyond their magic base destroying ray activates when you clear corruption from certain planets). I'm mainly having problems with the empire. Petro appear to have forgotten that if you allo...  [Read More]

I think the Rebellion is pretty good. You just have to use them right. The bugs are annoying, but the game is still playable. I keep hearing about this old chestnut, 'just use them right'. You can't use them right, because petro have not provided th...  [Read More]

Personally, I'm disappointed. I'm not sure whether it's by bugs or by design, but the new expansion basically means the Rebels (my favourite side) are unplayable. Removing corruption on some worlds means that my entire base on the world, orbital an...  [Read More]

I was going to post something in this thread, but this pretty much sums it up. Great post, btw. Imperial Star Destroyers should be better. I don't care about XML, I care about out of the box balance. For gameplay reasons, I'm fine with the Mon Cals...  [Read More]
