I think the orbital bombardment really amounts to a large-scale ravaging. In that E3 video, the Zann consortium launches a bombardment that takes out basically the entire Imperial base, including a large numbre of garrison units. That's pretty much a...  [Read More]

I suspect that B-Wings work the same way as TIE Interceptors: at some tech level, the Rebels will begin producing B-Wings instead of Y-Wings; just like the ISD and Executor spawn TIE/I's instead of TIE/F's....  [Read More]

I think the Defilers are the Zann Consortium's main instruments for spreading corruption and sabotaging enemy operations. I have no idea what function they have on the battlefield, however! I, personally, really like the design of the Defiler units,...  [Read More]

Well, they could always do 4-6 and beyond from one of the other factions' point of view. Or jump around some more in the timeline. Most RTS games only have one expansion, anyways. After that, developers might as well invest in a full-blown sequel....  [Read More]

It does look more like the Eclipse is a game mechanic rather than a playable unit. Fine with me. Implementing the Eclipse as a playable unit would cause a horrific imbalance in gameplay, and having it be a cinematic element allows the game to be more...  [Read More]

Maybe the name/description of that unit change depending on what planet he's on. He could be a general "animal handler"--though he looks mostly like a Rancor handler to me!...  [Read More]

With the limitation of only being able to play as the Empire or Rebels, I got board pretty darn fast. Limitation? This game is from the original Star Wars trilogy, man. Of course it was all about the Empire and the Rebels. What did you expect?...  [Read More]

In the latest preview (see the 'Previews thread' sticky), Petroglyph identifies the Underworld as the 'Zann Consortium.' I like it. It implies that the Underworld is a much more loosely organized entity than the other two factions. I wonder if any i...  [Read More]

Wouldn't a corvette hanging out by the enemy base counter this strategy? Then you'd have to bring your Acclamator in close to take out the corvette, while the enemy could pound your cruiser with the station guns. They probably would have ordered up s...  [Read More]
