Would you want FF in this game? I would, it would stop a player from rushing and make sure people act smart around capital ships, because once they blow they take out any fighters near them, and any other ships get damaged by concussive hits close, a...  [Read More]

what he means to say is that each ship is rendered in 3D and the camere looks fully movable, but they only travel along 2D planes, meaning they don't go up or down. Starfighters, however, do move up and down....  [Read More]

Here's an awesome idea I have for the imperial campaign. Since we start a few years before ANH... wouldn't it be cool to start out with clone troopers? After you progress and beat, say, 10% of the game, you stop getting clones and you start getting...  [Read More]

for the argument of starfighters vs capital ships: In the first movie, vader asks some guy for a status report on the battle, and he says that the small ships are evading their turbolasers, and vader's response is to release the fighters. That is wh...  [Read More]

if you get something like a corellian corvette (a small-medium size capital ship) trying to "blockade run", it's going to have a tough time fighting off fighters because they fly faster, and they do have some protection, but not nearly enou...  [Read More]

reason for speed bonus is because it is, as the emperor says himself, a "kohmand sheep", and with a leadership vessel it boosts the efficiency of the other ships, hence the speed bonus. Then how can you make a SSD vulnerable without it be...  [Read More]

How about adding these into the imperial unit list? Pros: 1. Adds speed bonus to all units in current system. 2. Adds "morale booster" which gives an attack and accuracy bonus to all ships in system. 3. Very large and powerful. Cons:...  [Read More]

It seems like there will be some form of a group bonus because in most pictures you see many capital ships (not sure if they are just showing em off or what have you) but in some pictueres there's as many as 20+ capital ships (some of the pictures wi...  [Read More]

What forces are you most likely to implement in your strategic battle plan? As for me, I will probably end up making several capital ships with large numbers of starfighter escorts for space stuff, and on the ground probably quick strike followed by...  [Read More]

I thought they were putting the deathstar in there since Yavin IV is a piece of the game. I thought if they were doing it it would be a massive space station, but you can only "land" on it with fighters like X-wings and Y-wings....  [Read More]

best way to keep your PC upgraded is to save up some money and get some good parts. Don't buy the minimums; you'll spend more in the long run by continuously upgrading again and again to hit minimum requirements and only get par graphics because of a...  [Read More]

the reason why tracks are used is because if you have a wheeled tank... well... you had better have a really good parking brake. The tracks dig it in in order to stop it from rolling far back, and a wheeled vehicle would. Also, you couldn't fired a w...  [Read More]

I think they said there are "slots" in which you can put ion cannons, turbolasers, launcher tubes, etc. I think it's good because a star destroyer captain would possibly customize his own ship, too. Depends on situation always, though....  [Read More]
