Terminology

[Knightcrawler]

Anyone think that some of the terminology should change. Like instead of "Are you sure you want to abort this mission?" for R&D, it could say "Are you sure you want to put R&D on hold?" For some missions, of course "abort" is good terminology. Such missions are Sabotage, Recruitment, Abduction, and Espionage because they're not ongoing. But for Diplomacy and R&D, they are ongoing and "abort" could be taken to mean that you have to start all over instead of picking up where you left off. It kinda confused me (with R&D) as a newbie.

That's an interesting idea. I hadn't really thought about it before, but what you suggest certainly sounds better.

It would be nice to have different messages from the different sides, too. For example, if you're an Imp and a neutral planet joins the REbels, you get a message saying: Yaga Minor has chosen the path of weakness, it joined the puny REbels. It is time to smash it with our glorious forces.

If you're a REb it would say, The Yagai have chosen wisely they chose to oppose the Empire and join the Alliance of Free Planets.

Nice idea, have to be careful not to be racist!!!

an idea on missions

 

you should be able to have missions go on for as long as it needs or such say assassination, half the time they fail it, it should just go on til there captured or it gets done adn recruitment should go on til theres no more people or you cancel actually you shouldnt have to have people on recruitment missions you just get people like if a planet is revolting you might get a person and some troops and a few fighters or something like defections in the real sw universe, and people on recruitment get people faster. You should be able to have ships in the same system without attacking, not big forces for you may be discovered but you may have fighters on planet while your being blockaded and have the fighters launch on command. arent i full of ideas

[Knightcrawler]

Yeah, I've always thought you should get people from freeing planets (for the first time).

[UntimelyDemise]

Yes, isn't it strange to "recruit" Thrawn and Daala? Ummm....it'd be nice to join the military and jump straight to command!

 

"Sign on the dotted line...good, now here's a fleet of Star Destroyers...go use all your tactical knowledge to destroy the cunning Rebels" Emperor Palpatine says.

 

"Use the tactical knowledge machine on him..." says Darth Vader.

 

[ElvisMiggell]

Nice one UD. Yeah, i guess its a lil odd, tho if i remember his background, Thrawn's rise was somewhat meteoric. Yeah, maybe the recruitment missions should just be used to speed up a natural process. If you have someone on mission then you're more likely to recruit someone than if you let the come to you. Say maybe it halves the time or something?

[Guest JediIgor]

Well.. Thrawn was kinda undercover in the Unknown Regions, so technically he was recruited as nobody knew about him.

 

Daala on the other hand was just a cook, so she was "recruited" as well. See where I am getting at?

[ElvisMiggell]

 

Maybe when they are first recruited their stats should just be a bit lower.

 

e.g, as Thrawn fights more battles his leadership goes up, and up, until he carries the respect that we expect of him. Instead of it starting at 100+, start it at 30 odd and bring it up.

[the_mask]

Yeah, I like that !

[ElvisMiggell]

Might make the game last a little longer, especially if like me you already like to see just how powerfull can you get Luke to be?!?
