story of first and only imperial conquest....

 

i had a battle with over 40 transports left of the enemy and one VSD (extreamly damaged but 1 turobo laser left) 2 ISD's  (damaged but only a little) with no fighters/bombers left. let me say that it took a whole night on fast mod to have my three ships finish off the enemy fleet. i was going out of my mind with the horriable aiming, comeon! TRANSPORTS! oh well nothing i can do

 

so i go on and after a whole day playing i'm at my last two planets!!! w00t! the empire has surely won! anyways whats left is land action on holth and space at the astriods (real ones) so i land at holth and with 13 at-at 22 at-st nermerious maulars, and anti tank tanks. i roll across the desert planes of holth (on the tantooine map) anyways i rape them with only 10-at-at. BUT after i kill 3 heros and all their units ..... i don't win.....there's this invisiable building that my units fire at but nothing can distroy. i bomb it but to no effect. so instead i retreat, and reland in hopes to bypass this building. but to no effect. so in agrivation i retreat and go to my last space battle (holth will last with invisiblity. let them hide sigh.... would have made a great example to other rebels  :-\.

 

anyways after holth i went to the astiords. BUT before i did i sent in my lucky scout. with great effect i see 164 of a single unit. WTF?!?!?!?!? so i take it they were transports? ummmmm anyways with figures of 30-50 about 7 times i was intrested on knowing if my system could handle it. *(thats all it took for my victory to end) so i send in 4 isd and 2 corrvets.... i do this in sight that a 28 isd,23 broadside,47 corrvets and 4 VSD's would make lag of it's own ..... as the loading screen comes up i'm fightened already.... i see that the screen has seemed to almost freeze... but the bar still moves. so in hopes lag will get better. i hit begin. (what a fool i am) with the begining of the battle i get 1 fram per 30 SECONDS ( i counted) i took 20 minutes for the movie intro to go away (didn't see rebels though) as i continue it gets worse. i go into trubo mode in hopes of less lag but only to get 1:20 fps.... it sucked. anyways i got to move my ships and move them a little but the lag was to much.... (what every you do. use DEATH STAR on places with over 100 enemy ships..... trust me.... would have loved to nuke them rather then mega lag....)

 

any ways to get to the end. 4 major points

 

one, improve imperial ship acc.... right now it sucks compared to playing as rebels on hard ( will real game be better or will mod be needed? )

 

second - i know invisable buildings can't be helped due to modding issues, and i love the mods. so no complaint here!

 

third improve AI. only 4 times did the ai attack me. and that was only because they were moving to a uncoverd planet that i was sending troops to. ai in battle isn't for the greater cause either. rather then trying to flank me or distroy important areas in my line they just select what there strong against. so i end up killing there flank. flanking them. and surrounding them for a compelete kill while there just hitting a stupid VSD.....

 

four. after almost winning on hard. what happens when you Do win? anyone get there yet?

 

thanks alot for any insight people can give me. and hope you don't run into 500 + ships anytime soon even if they are  transports...

 

 

 

p.s. any idea why tie fighters get pwned by transports yet bombers do fine? (bombers use lasers.....)

 

again thanks

When you win, you just get a victory cut scene after you destroy the death star or kill mon mothma or something like that, then your done thats it.

 

Personally I would like to have the victory celebration, but then be able to control the galaxy after that, fight pirates, and maybe evenually have an imperial remanent come back. Maybe an expansion another crazy faction could attack.

Same here. Kind of like a sandbox mode after. Once the Empire objectives fail or the Rebels would be nice to see them slowly merge into you or into pirates. If it aint done already I would like to see Pirates acting like a nice little third faction as they are and I mean expanding  ;D

I'll finish campaign with Empire tomorrow, I'll show you what happen when Rebellion has been crushed
