True, it's indeed very interesting to see how the expansion will handle this element. I don't think that Kyle Katarn will be the only way to destroy the Arc Hammer. Afterall, it is a spaceship :) It's not impervious to good old torpedoes :)...  [Read More]

But it doesn't exactly make sense that officers can be bribed but grunts cannot no? They may be indoctrinated and loyal to the Emperor but...the moffs and Zaarin didn't pilot their starships alone you know. They had a fair amount of grunts following...  [Read More]

You're right about the icon, but I still think that a single fighter is too small. I mean, the icon is now ridiculously larger then the ship/squadron it's supposed to represent. As for Phantoms not colliding with others, well, to have more chances o...  [Read More]

About phantoms, I know its not going to happen, but it would be nearer to reality (in my opinion...and inside of what we can call reallity here hehehehe) if they were individual units, not squadrons like the rest of the starfighters, it's because the...  [Read More]

Actually, according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_defender) (I realize that it's not a very reliable source, but it does fit with what my memory remembers :p ), the Tie Defender does carry less then a B-Wing. From Tie Fighter, I'm p...  [Read More]

Actually, 4 launchers could carry a maximum of 80 concussion missiles (20 each) if sent against fighters exclusively. However, the "normal" payload consists of 40 concussion missiles (the two top launchers could not carry anything else) and...  [Read More]

Actually, the idea of it having more firepower then a B-Wing is relative. The Defender had less ion cannons (2) for two more lasers (4) making it a much deadlier anti-fighter craft. However, it did not have the same warhead carrying capabilities then...  [Read More]

Well, in the case of bases, I mean, you can spot a big glowing shield dome from extremely far away. Combine with the ping idea, there could be a radar detection station or something. It would allow the defender to detect incoming landing forces. Des...  [Read More]

Your argument is, essentially, that the attacker should be able to land troops anywhere where there's a clear area large enough to accommodate them, correct? There's an expression for that: Landing Zone. The landing zones on the map is just that: an...  [Read More]

If the defender doesn't have planetary shields: The attacker can land his troops inside the defender's base. Imagine 10 AT-ATs being dropped inside your base. You're screwed. There is no way to defend against something like that. At least three of th...  [Read More]

To quote some wise person from another thread: "Gameplay > realism". This is why abuse of such words can make it sound like a desperate attempt at getting one's point across. First, you claim the landing zones as realistic, now you fa...  [Read More]

Therefore, in the end, whatever Zahn writes is truth, anything to the contrary is lies. Including Ep3, which blasphemes Kashyyyk and is therefore apochryphal. I hope it's sarcasm. I seriously do....  [Read More]

Whether or not it has anti-starfighter lasers is a moot point. Certainly, it can't possibly be as proefficient as a Tartan in destroying fighters. The ISD in the game can defend itself against fighter assaults, either by sending its own or replying...  [Read More]

It may just be me but the SSD and the Eclipse should not be balanced at all!! You'll get better Gameplay from having to use a number of Tactics than having one ship that can take it out. Oh look they have the SSD...Build a MC10000 (No such Ship btw...  [Read More]

Realism only enhances the gameplay. Each unit has its own unique speciatly and does not directly counter another. And each faction should be good at what it has to do constantly. But that's not exactly the point now is it? You're the one wanting mor...  [Read More]
