The Build Queue

[Star Wars Man]

I was brainstorming about my own personal modification when I hit a snag. The question that hit me was about build times, build production, and unit size. If we can only build one unit at a time on a planet it would be better to have larger units then if we can build multiple units at the same time.

 

So my question is...

 

How many units can a planet build at a time? One or more.

 

EDIT:

 

I just watched the Liepzig Convention video, it looks like at least in Skirmish mode you can build about 5 units simultaneous.

 

I've seen, in many screenshots, that one queue of fighters, say X-Wings, have 3-5 each. Here is one of those screenies:

 

Note the X-wings to the right and Y-Wings to the left

Well I've heard that this will be like a modified SW: Rebellion with a bit of AoE thrown in.

 

For Rebellion everything you could build/train had a base build time. If you put more than one "factory" on a planet, the time made to build/train would be reduced by dividing the base build time by the number of similar "factories" on that planet.

 

I haven't seen this in an RTS for a while though and I think that it will be more realistic like having each unit have a base build time and that may be reduced with some sort of technology advancement. At each "factory" you will probably be able to build a unit at a time like AoE.

 

I'm actually really interested to see how they have chosen to handle this what with the ground game and galactic space game.

Cain is one of the people who started this forum and hes the boss here. If you want to learn more just ask him or find bits and pieces of info around.

[Star Wars Man]

No Idea.. Free Posting I guess.

[Star Wars Man]

If Only.....If Only.....

 

Ok Well Peachy.

 

Gen.Vader it is unlikely that any source codes will be released as it will enable people to hack into any future work IE if LucasArts or Petro make EAW2/ Expansions or similar games and decide to use the same basics.

meh, good joke wjile it lated, will we be able to toggle the quee itself? or how quickly buildings get made like in W3 (fir the buildin)

 

i know its going to be very very moddable, but what are some early limits?
