Not sure if it's the right place to put this, but since the Eclipse was really nifty I went and looked at the Dark Empire series and am really confused. I realize it was written earlier than a lot of the other stuff, but the New Republic's suddenly d...  [Read More]

They fit him in nicely in the campaign, but outside of that conquest, GC particularly, it is a bit odd. I always just wonder about the mechanics of him running up to an ATAT and bribing the guy way up there about to step on him too, but that's just m...  [Read More]

Yeah, that could be fun for extra scenarios. The ZC is really cool in campaign, but their having to conquer really sort of undermines their difference in gc, and is part of the reason their units are so insanely overpowered. :(...  [Read More]

It's kinda weird that it's still about the mon cal vs the star destroyer after that argument seemed to be somewhat settled a few times. Isn't the big problem still the shieldless zc cruiser which can take out most of the weapons on one side of an isd...  [Read More]

Yeah, I really wish they'd take down the vengeance frigate, though the starviper'll be balanced it looks like. At least they're making the ISD a bit stronger now! :)...  [Read More]

http://www.petroglyphgames.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1112 It sounds like the starvipers at least are going to be fixed, though that only comes out from the second dev post. Don't see anything about mass-driver damage though, just decreasing acc...  [Read More]

Eh, second time it worked. That was all after the ssd came in though. Nowhere near the number of reinforcements. It was really frustrating trying to take out 40 squads of fighters with a bunch of those 2-shot special weapon ships and one corvette the...  [Read More]

I brought a huge fleet to this mission, sneak the shuttle around, blast all the spacedocks and everything else, but the reinforcements keep coming. I took out all the large rebel ships and the millenium falcon and that goal dropped off, though some m...  [Read More]

I just got the thing last night and in playing the campaign on medium even I'm seeing ridiculous balance issues, if it's anything like this in multiplayer/gc. Granted I'm one of those who was really sad at how weak the ISD was in the original, but no...  [Read More]

But there were tons of factories that were destroyed by Zaarin, and so they had to match his tie-d's and kept even most of the avengers off the front lines. Just avengers would have evened it a lot. If they hadn't been learning, they wouldn't have ev...  [Read More]

No no no, my impression is that at the higher tech levels, imps having good fighters would fit, since if they *could* have gotten more to the frontlines, they would have started to turn the tables on the rebels, but all the defenders/avengers were ta...  [Read More]

I didn't mean their strategy, but more of an equalization at the end. Most of my impressions come from the x-wing series, but I thought that if they'd gotten more tie avengers and defenders out they would have at least neutralized the rebel advantage...  [Read More]

I'm really really hoping that damage is what they mean by the fighter damage class, though it would be nice if the defender were just a bit faster too. It would be really cool if the rebels had to rely on fighters all the way up to the highest tech a...  [Read More]

Haven't had much time to play yet, but do the b-wings and defenders do well against other fighters? The latter really should at least. I'm becoming a bit of a one-trick pony here but I'd really be ok with it if they just made the ISD really good and...  [Read More]

It is pretty crazy. I played a skirmish against hard ZC AI as Empire, my first one, and had 4 mines vs their one for most of the game, and still lost Piett and Thrawn 3 times. Just vengeance could take out one or two hardpoints with an ISD before bei...  [Read More]

Perhaps about the towers. As a kid though I got all the little Lucas Arts tech dealies that emphasized the role of the fighters in protecting the towers. It doesn't make sense, but it was sort of fun, and would have been balanced if the cap-ships in...  [Read More]

Yeah, but after the war they would have been manufactured as dedicated warships. Superior engineering and backup systems make things work a bit longer when there are holes in the hull, but do not negate the actual holes....  [Read More]

Yes the bridge is a target, but so's Home One's. The game mechanics here really de-emphasized shields to great extent. It's good to take out hardpoints and I really like it, there's just a greater proliferation of weapons that bypass shields than rea...  [Read More]

The ISD has always been very very powerful going back to the days of X-Wing. The ISD's weakness was never weak shields, it was the generators being able to be destroyed, which was why they had so many fighters. In a cap-ship match they should win han...  [Read More]
