Good idea. Heck, all I need is to move my fleets freely. I don't like star lanes (in any space game). Randomized maps aren't much fun with star lanes...:confused:...  [Read More]

Will there be random map generators? (I realize that if there is no generator, it's a feature there's no time to change prior to first release. I still want to hear everyones' opinions, though. Just ignore what you know about whether or not it's goin...  [Read More]

Look at the LucasArts screenshots, the ones with the Star Destroyers blowing up. The domes on top of them are intact. Also, none of the crosshairs around on the ship are centered on the shield generator (but maybe the shots only shows the targettable...  [Read More]

I didn't see this when I posted my thread (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=145796), but my thread is more about randomly generated maps, so no damage done, I hope. Yes, there should be deep space. Interdictors can, as was s...  [Read More]

That could be done with "normal" special units, too. Give a ship a more experienced crew and it repairs damage better, aims better, and so on. If you put a skilled captain on a Calamarian Cruiser, it'd fight better. And so on. The problem...  [Read More]

No. "Hero ships" attract shots and thus either have to be made much more powerful than would be reasonable, or get blown up at once. My compromise to ships, though, is this: You can't build the Falcon, but you can build YT-1300 transports....  [Read More]

You said all that a lot better than I ever could. Yup, EaW is tailored for two civs. Psst. Dominions II: www.illwinter.com. And yes, it's fun. Has an extensive demo, but a learning curve:)...  [Read More]

Read: You haven't played Dominions II:D . Seriously, though, you're right, tonnes of good games have only 2 civilizations. And lots of games that put in a ton of civs (like Age of Empires II) just end up making them nearly identical, with no differe...  [Read More]

the z-95 is in no way the x-wing's predecessor. Just like tonnes of people own sail boats after the invention of the diesel engine, people kept producing Z-95 head hunters after the advent of the X-Wing. That doesn't mean the X-Wing is not based on...  [Read More]

In Ground Control you could shut it off. What was annoying with said game, however, was that units didn't watch it. If you had a heavy terradyne squad and it spotted an enemy unit, it'd open fire - even if your Command APC was in the way and got blas...  [Read More]

Wow, thanks, Cain, maybe you should re-post that as an information thread thingie? I'd prefer if you could move freely, on a 2D plane, in management mode, like in Stars!. Then you could tell your ships to go to planets, "deep space" (ie.,...  [Read More]

It sounds to me like the Balrog in Battle for Middle Earth: It only stays for about a minute or so, but it flies, it can take a lot of damage, and it has a special attack which it can use freely(albeit only once), that levels everything within a pret...  [Read More]

It didn't occur to you that there was a slight chance that you wouldn't get an unbiased answer from a fan site;)? I'm sure if no expansion was readily including them then they would be left to modders. But mods are never as good as the real thing. S...  [Read More]
