Awesome! Some random thoughts as I flipped through the pictures: Anyone else think Luke's body shape looks a lot like Frozone from "The Incredibles?" I really like the design of the new Consortium units. They're anti-sleek, dirty, odd sha...  [Read More]

They might even include missions that don't appear in the final product, they just serve as a tiny bit of backstory and an opportunity to show off Tyber's abilities. Regardless, I'm sure the demo will be more focused on showcasing the extensions to a...  [Read More]

Oh, no, don't start that again... Oh, that sounds sweet. Makes me wish you could do something like that with regular Star Destroyer-type ships too. Well, since the ability has now been coded into the game, it should be a simple task to play with XML...  [Read More]

It is tech level 5, requires a level 5 space station and you can only build it once. Unlike the Deathstar, it will respawn along with Vader like any other hero unit. Is Vader on the same recharge timer as the other heroes, then? It would make sense f...  [Read More]

Maybe Vader will come in his TIE fighter until the point where the player builds the Executor, and from then on Vader is in his flagship? Or perhaps Vader is in his TIE unless the Executor is in his fleet, in which case Vader stands on the bridge loo...  [Read More]

Sweet--looks like it's in keeping with the idea that the Mon Cals converted a lot of their famed civilian starliners into warships. Where'd you dig that shot up from? Torpid and Delphi, I have to ask--all of a sudden, you've been volunteering all so...  [Read More]

How many hardpoints does the MC 30 have? I'll just take a wild guess and assume it will have 1 engine, 2 turbolasers and 2 ion cannons. I'm probably wrong though. That's a pretty sensible loadout for a cap ship killer, but you might add to that list...  [Read More]

We don't know--all we know is that the Rebels get a new "Mon Calamari frigate." But based on the usual Star Wars nomenclature, I expect something about the size of the Nebulon-B or Assault Frigate...only Mon Calamari-ified. It's probably a...  [Read More]

We have heard about new Rebel heroes, and the devs mentioned that they were trying to make the Rebel Alliance much more "hero-centric." We also heard that each side has their own transport unit. So the Rebellion gets, at the very least: -...  [Read More]

As for quick tips against 10000 AWings I suggest you to throw in a bunch of Tarts and use the "speed up" function. Oh yeah. I can rip 'em to shreds. The problem isn't that the A-Wings are unbeatable, it's that they're boring! I'd love to se...  [Read More]

The only one we've seen so far is the Zann Consortium bombardment; it consists of a two-blast attack with an electronics-scrambling EMP blast arriving just ahead of a destructive cannon blast. From Petroglyph comments, I assume that the Rebel attack...  [Read More]
