Thanks, alot! This is cool.

 

On the second picture, is the lines to Yavin 4 the trade lanes?

[Little.B]

Most likely. (Yes)

[Teradyn_pff]

What is that target icon over Wayland?

[Cain]

Little.B I was about to spell check it - but I need to go. Could you do it pls. ?

[Relentless]

Great post all the way but I hate where Alderaan is. It's right next to Yavin 4, Kessel and Korriban.

I wouldnt say next to, thats being relative, remember this is a galactic map, on the mini map Alderaan is situated in the galactic core with the other planets on the arm of the galaxy. So its more or less far away, it just looks close on the galactic map thats all.

[Lakos]

Hey cool! I was just about finishing my own article on the interface of EAW for the German fansite http://eaw.gamecaptain.de, but it isn't sooo detailed...

[Cain]

Moved to GD - also I have some unconfirmed sources that the demo will contain only 3 planets in the galactic conquest mode. Since I'm not sure i will not make a news out of it.

[Teradyn_pff]

This is, IMO, the very bare minimum number of planets for that mode. One Rebel, one Imperial and 1 to fight over. Doesn't leave much room for building up Pop Caps and/or credits. I would guess that we wont be able to max out our space or land pop caps in the demo.

[Cain]

Guys - also remember to participate in our fan QA

i can live with that, the demo will give a time to get used to the interface..

[Deadeye31_pff]

hmm, if you notice, when it shows the total money you have it uses the credit symbol from Star Wars but if you look at the prices they're in dollar signs... just an interresting observation.
