watching a space battle from the bridge of an SSD Now there's an idea. Or from Ackbar's little floaty command chair. All you'd have to do is put an image frame around the screen and pick a camera view looking out over one of the capital ships. That w... [Read More]
With the expansion, will we see any improvements to the cinematic camera? Will it do a better job of focusing on the action than in Empire at War? I'd love to see the camera spend several scenes on battles between two or three ships, instead of rand... [Read More]
Well, given the options available in the new land map customization/base setup features, there's substantial leeway there to randomly place map items. I'm not sure how the terrain format works, but if they have "tiles" that are placed indiv... [Read More]
Is EaW:FoC made for "hardcore" RTS players, who like Total War, Rebellion and other "complex" RTS, or is it made for RTS players, who like C&C, Starcraft, Warcraft and (take cover) SW:Empire at War games? You think StarCraft a... [Read More]
I think that the Underworld should not buy units in the conventional way that the Empire and Rebellion do. Instead, they should "hire" starship captains with some ambiguity as to what exactly they are getting. For instance, instead of build... [Read More]
I saw Honoghr on the galactic map in the trailer. Anyone who's read Zahn's trilogy knows the name of the Noghri home planet...so this leads me to wondering: - Do the Noghri appear just as indigs on Honoghr? - Are Noghri an Imperial version of the Re... [Read More]
I'm with gswift. Go exotic...perhaps suave and debonaire (someone who could just as easily seduce you as slit your throat - I like the Spanish idea..."My name is Inigo Montoya..."), but something a bit more off the beaten path might be fun.... [Read More]
Adam Baldwin from Serenity/Firefly. His voice has that gritty edge in it, just what a fringe character needs. Or Phil LaMarr, he did the voice of Gadon Tekk in KotOR. Good idea there, too.... [Read More]
Glad you enjoy the game :) This brings up a good point though; I saw the trailor for the first time along with all of you, and I don't know if the voice is right for Tyber or not either. So if you could pick an actor to be the voice of our new crimi... [Read More]
Check out the E3 presentation video...at the end, Delphi hovers the mouse over the Executor long enough to see that the in-game encyclopedia claims that the counters to the SSD are Y-Wings and B-Wings. I'm willing to bet that it will take a lot of t... [Read More]
And... upon destruction of the SSD... Home One suffers a -1 to combat for 5 seconds because Admiral Ackbar gets really sad about this for some wierd, unknown reason. It always looked more like relief to me...but Ackbar is definitely the type to get s... [Read More]
I'd Love to See Dark Lady Lumiya and the Byss Dark Force Adepts.... Corran Horn as a Trainee Jedi?? That could be cool!! Nah, that takes place a bit later...but as another X-Wing squadron hero, that'd be awesome! In fact, lets just see Rogue Squadro... [Read More]
Yes but this isn't even established EU. This is something they made up. OK I would be fine if it was something like Vong or Empire Reborn but it isn't. Still though I want Clone Wars. The comic book writers made up the Reborn Emperor. The novelists... [Read More]
Here's another idea for bounty hunters: instead of moving the hunter to a planet, moving them to the neutralize hero slot, paying a fee, and just having the hero removed, it would be neat for some "hunt" process to be implemented. For examp... [Read More]
No, not at all. It can be in a different plane and still retain the ability to destroy capital ships. Agreed: It's probably a cinematic-level item. As backup, pause the trailer on the shots of the Eclipse's bow, with ISDs in the foreground. The SSD i... [Read More]
no Offence guys but the first one was a shocker it was half ar*se and i really cant see the second being any better, i just hope they prove me wrong You're basing your opinion on an unreleased, still-in-development expansion on the fact that you didn... [Read More]
Thank god we get regular SSDs, too, and not jsut the stupid-looking comic book ones. Anyone else notice that the Rebels have TWO Y-Wing icons on the galactic interface in the trailer?... [Read More]
Lancers were invented for the X-Wing games; they are no more 'canon' than Tartan Patrol Cruisers, which are now in the StarWars.com Databank and entered Imperial service pre-Lancer. Give that fight up already.... [Read More]
The only canon SSD to be destroyed blew up for three reasons: - "Concentrate all fire on that Super Star Destroyer." - "Sir! We've lost the bridge deflector shield!" - "AAAAAAAAAH!"... [Read More]
I'm sure you are correct, MacLeodCorp, because after all, you just declared yourself "wise." :P There is no reason why the developers should limit their expansion to items untouched by modders. First of all, the expansion will be professio... [Read More]
