What i will say is dont expect this to be done over night, it will be ready when its ready what i will say is i plan to have it up as soon as possible after the patch is released (i may be repeating myself, infact i am but im trying to avoid people asking me this question over and over again, i have seen this so many times before and it makes you wanna shoot people, not that i have ever done that.....)

What is the goal of this game?

Well to create a true star wars campaign, something that all star wars fan and strategy fans alike will enjoy (or i hope) however at the moment i am in the planning stage of how to translate and balance the 0.5 mod for this purpose. What i really need is help testing the ships in the mod and basically create a shiplist and style of game that appeals to everyone (so something easy hey )

mt first task is try and assign roles to all ships i plan to currently use, below i shall post a ship list for the empire and republic forces which is a more a beta list and then the suggest role eville provided me with (thanks dude). After that im hoping to start discussion in which way to move forward with the game, my originally thoughts on hyperspeed will be based on canon speeds i have found via westwood games and other sources.

On a side not in this type of game i think custom death models would have to be edited out o the ship files to help with online performance.

Ship roles basics

interceptor: z-95, a wing, tie int, tie advanced

bomber: ywing, tie bomber, bwing

space superiority: xwing, tie defender

assault craft: assault transport, skipray, storm trooper transport

picket: system patrol craft, guardian cruiser

gunship: corellian gunship etc

corvette: any fast ship that is lightly armed

frigate: any vessel that primarily acts as a screening vessel

monitor: any ship that has a few very big guns and nothing else

cruiser: well rounded ships that trade armor for speed

destroyer: any vessel that is primarily tasked with chasing down and destroying another class

battleship: any vessel that is armed with multiple tiers of weaponry and heavy shielding/armor

carrier: any vessel that primary armemanet is its bombers/fighters

Transport: light armor, average speed, minimal weaponry plenty of storage space for troops

Supply ship: light armor, average speed, minimal weaponry plenty of storage space for additional fleet supplies.

Now mining will also be a option however before (when i see what interest is like i will go into more detail), anyways any questions please fire away or if you willing or able to help please post away

ps. sadly i cant change the app itself as the created wont release the source code (which is fair do's).

  EvR campaign one begins

So the timeline would look something like that

Pure strategy

Well this is the easy option, you dont worry about to much but aiming you ships at one enemy, personally considering so far people have voted for a more canon style of map (so to speak) i doubt many people will vote for it but i included anyways.

RPG

This bit i think is what adds that little bit extra to the game, this for me has always been a fun part as really star wars is about abit more than than me kick you butt with star destroyers and tie fighters sadly this is abit limited as it cant be reflected in the app to well. What it is usually used to reflect is leaders of factions meeting and debating trade, peace and all that fuzzy stuff. Usually this linked with a story but dosnt have to be (it really depends on the people), this would also include the use of jk2 (well maybe i will get jka).

Stories!

Well basically this is about giving the game that extra dimension, to explain what happens from turn to turn in a more interesting manor, also as star wars is about good vs evil its a nice way to reflect the types of people involved, in the past the game has seen some really amazing stories that give people something to read between turns, again this is something i have always enjoyed, some may think its pointless *shrugs*

Politics

Oh yes, i think this is the key above all to the game, sorting out trade, alliance, none-aggression pacts, tricking people into doing what you need, thats whats whats it about, backstabbing the right and wrong people (i dont think this can be avoided when more than one faction is include but i included it for completion.

The rest

if i didnt include it, post what you think

Ships prices sadly have to be scaled down as sadly at ,most your looking at around 200vps a turn per planet after trade (and thats only the big ones). Also i will lower and raise prices based on class.

Ship roles basics

interceptor: z-95, a wing, tie int, tie advanced

bomber: ywing, tie bomber, bwing

space superiority: xwing, tie defender

assault craft: assault transport, skipray, storm trooper transport

picket: system patrol craft, guardian cruiser

gunship: corellian gunship etc

corvette: any fast ship that is lightly armed

anti-starfighter frigate: it guns down fighters

frigate: any vessel that primarily acts as a screening vessel

monitor: any ship that has a few very big guns and nothing else

cruiser: well rounded ships that trade armor for speed

destroyer: any vessel that is primarily tasked with chasing down and destroying another class

battleship: any vessel that is armed with multiple tiers of weaponry and heavy shielding/armor

carrier: any vessel that primary armemanet is its bombers/fighters

Transport: light armor, average speed, minimal weaponry plenty of storage space for troops

Supply ship: light armor, average speed, minimal weaponry plenty of storage space for additional fleet supplies.

as i mentioned before these are the roles i plan on using however i do need some help deciding if this is really enough or if this is to basic, please anyone, post some thoughts on how to expand this if it needs expanding once enough people seem happy with this then i can begin to work on fitting ships into the classes and deciding if certain ships fit into more than one role, IC, perhaps a ISD would be a destroyer, carrier and transport as its a planetary invasion vessel (perhaps even that could be a role?).

I added in a few bits from the original like intimidation class, to me these ships arnt really build for combat effectiveness but more just cos you can, these are still far more powerful than single ship or a several small ships, please tell me if you think i placed anything in the wrong place.
