As the Empire, I once had the unenviable task of defending a wider front than the enemy had to--there was a large Rebel fleet concentrated at one planet in a hyperspace chokepoint, and I had perhaps three front-line planets in range that I needed to...  [Read More]

Regardless of the specific example you had in mind... But in the end: it doesn't matter in the slightest. The game isn't any less fun, and in some respects, the game actually plays much better now than if everything had been totally 'canon.' And for...  [Read More]

No you can't use your imagination. You simply can't call it Star Wars anymore if you throw the movies right into the bin. Apart from that, there is a huge EU out there (just so you know, Kyle and Mara are NOT canon). Part of that EU is used frequentl...  [Read More]

I think that while some of them are canon--such as the old Clone Wars-era destroyer droids and the StarViper fighters--the Underworld will have access to many ships that are Petroglyph born and bred. Fine by me; I'm happy to give these developers fre...  [Read More]

btw, in ROTJ, the death star only fired once Twice, on-screen. It also may have fired more times than we were shown. I suspect that players wil only ever get to control the Eclipse as the Underworld faction. That is, that the Empire will only own th...  [Read More]

I'd be willing to bet that the Eclipse only appears int he campaign. However, we already know for certain that the campaign will center of Tyber Zann's attempt to steal the Eclipse--so we'll probably only ever get to have personal control of the shi...  [Read More]

Hmm, good points, especially with regard to resource-gathering and units. Maybe the Rebels could have a theif/recruiter minor hero, trained at officer academies, that's sort of like a smuggler for units: deploy them to an enemy world and they "s...  [Read More]

its not fair if the rebels can lie low and not get destroyed Well, of course, the Empire might find them and destroy them even as they're lying low. The Underworld is also supposed to be able to hide to evade military engagements. The strength of the...  [Read More]

You might be able to counter that in a few ways. One is to decrease the galactic map speed--then the Empire certainly couldn't search the entire galaxy in five minutes. Other ways would be to modify how Rebel forces can be discovered. For instance, a...  [Read More]

Okay, first, they only found out about that fleet when the fleet of Star Destroyers showed up on their scanners--not from Bothan spies. Second, they barely escaped. They definitely weren't "invulnerable to surprise" in that situation....  [Read More]

I don't know about that. A unit that hides nearby Rebels from the enemy minimap could be extremely effective. Likewise a unit that produces "ghost" minimap dots on the enemy radar. ...Particularly in concert...imagine if you see a small ar...  [Read More]
