Edan, again I apologise, I shouldn't go mouthing off at all the hard work you guys have put in. Painless sent me the latest documents of the unit lists, but I guess the Rebel one must have been wrong. It still had all seven Astromechs, although I re...  [Read More]

Well, I stopped by the Imperial Assault Forums again today, and while the biggest problems have been taken care of, for the most part my list of criticisms above is still pretty relevant. The problems are no longer as serious as what I posted above,...  [Read More]

Well the X-Wing and Y-Wing are the image of the Rebel Alliance. They certainly shouldn't be replaced by EU units if we want a game to even remotely resemble Star Wars....  [Read More]

I think the reasoning that "the B-Wing is only for use against capital ships" is stupid. Again this is an EU invention that doesn't make much sense in respect to the movies. In Return of the Jedi a number of B-Wings are sent to the Battle...  [Read More]

Well it really sounds like things have changed. In my opinion there couldn't be a better person in charge, Edan. It sounds like much of what I suggested has ended up coming to pass! I guess the reason I left was due to frustration with some of the o...  [Read More]

Thanks Painless, apology accepted. It's funny you should mention Jugg as he was probably my biggest opponent. Perhaps things have changed there, in which case I apologise for all the criticisms. Just rest assured I haven't been spreading a campaign...  [Read More]

Hey Edan, didn't expect you to pop up here. I really do admire what you're trying to do, and I'm glad you value my opinion, but too many others high up in the ranks of IA don't. As you may remember, after a discussion I had with you, you posted a ra...  [Read More]

Well this is going off-topic, but the thread was already off topic anyway... I don't remember anyone called Chiss_Alert when I was working on the mod, but I denounced it because there were just way too many things wrong with it, and while the Mod Le...  [Read More]

Now that has got to be one of the most stupid things EU has ever claimed. As if any organisation would use the same acronym for two different things. Man I'd like to beat those EU guys with an intelligence stick. I can just see the design meeting n...  [Read More]

define the Acronym TIE in reference to the TIE Defender and then use some logic comparing number of engines. the answer is not only logical but painfully obviuos.No problem. TIE stands for Twin Ion Engine. The TIE Defender has a Twin Ion Engine just...  [Read More]

Yep, that's right. Lucasfilm went to all the trouble of building models of the Defenders to put them in Return of the Jedi so that they just appear as a blur in the final edit :rolleyes: I can't believe an EU author would have the gall to make them...  [Read More]

Let me save you the trouble and tell you there is definitely not any Defenders in the movie. If you do manage to see one I'll relinquish my title of Star Wars Scholar and become a Star Trek fan. The reason the EU has said there was only a single squa...  [Read More]

Colonel Maarek Stele and Lord Darth Vader figured prominently in early TIE defender missions to stop Zaarin. Only a handful of these ships were deployed as part of Onyx Squadron during the Battle of Endor.Yeah, there were also Dreadnoughts around the...  [Read More]

There weren't any Interceptors in Empire Strikes Back in the asteroid field, only Fighters and Bombers. In fact there weren't any Interceptors in ESB at all, which probably means they weren't in use then (since Vader would obviously have deployed Int...  [Read More]

At any rate, including either the TIE Avenger or TIE Defender, portrayed as they are in the EU, will seriously alter the Empire's style of play from what we see in the movies. Which is bad....  [Read More]

Vader's TIE is not the TIE Avenger. The TIE Avenger was mass produced for normal TIE Fighter Pilots to compete with the superior X-Wings and A-Wings of the Rebel Alliance. Vader's TIE is just better because it's for Vader and not the common TIE Fight...  [Read More]

TIE Avengers are not in the movies. At this point I'd like to repost Vostok's Laws of Non-Canon Units and Star-Warsy-ness to show exactly how the TIE Avenger doesn't fit, and also for Puzzlebox's benefit to help him make a game with the proper StarW...  [Read More]

Viceroy, including the TIE Avenger will make the Empire's play style notably different from what we see in the movies, and that is why it is bad. Some EU fits in with the movie style, like AT-PTs, some does not, like TIE Avengers....  [Read More]

There you go! The second-in-command idea is great and really makes it quite different from Zero Hour. It doesn't matter if you thought of it before EA, they put it in a game before you, so putting it in a game now will still look like a rip off even...  [Read More]

Viceroy - the fact it copies Zero Hour is not a "daft" reason at all, and is one of the biggest reasons I no longer like the concept. The biggest criticism of SWGB was that it was too similar to Age of Kings, so if the next Star Wars RTS co...  [Read More]
