Baron_Fel Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 It looks like petro has really listened to our suggestions/complaints. The space maps, at least those in the ign videos, are huge compared to what we had before. Even if its only in campaign, its still awesome. Does anyone remember that base placement thread? Its in foc! ;D You can place your buildings (and maybe units too) where you want them.

Guest Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'm not so sure if petro has really listend to us, they seem to be doing there own thing over there, a 3rd non canon faction made up out of thin air caught me by suprise I totally did not see that coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 They have added a few things fans wanted like unit placement, deciding what order to send units in to battle (space atleast), and oribital bombardment...off the top of my head, I think there is more.

Many of the things added to FoC (like enhanced base layout) were directly in response to what players asked for, BTW. FoC is a lot of fun to play. The new faction adds considerably to both GC and MP.

MonkeyBiz Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Petro wouldn't even have to make another expansion. Just release map and unit packs like Total Annihilation used to do. I'd love to see all the planets and ships in the EU covered by EaW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_the_Sith Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Oh well having an expansion isn't too bad.However having packs like in Total annihilation would be good too.However if you want to add a completely new story with cinematics etc you really a cd or somesort.So the Exp set is the right choice.I hope they will scale the whole things too. We really need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Eh I think scaling will be even tougher in this one, especially with them including the eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 warlords didn't have a problem with it, that is what the zoom function is for ya know : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controller Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 yeah and homeworld is better for that sort of thing. i mean to have the SSD and eclipse to scale. the maps would have to be huge over what i think the map editor can handle just so the ships could move around http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i276/At-At_controller/leetspeak4cz1jr.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 well since supposedly the ESSD is mostly just a background object then it wouldn't matter much they could still get the scale correct. And supposedly we have much bigger space maps now unlike the really lame ones in EAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 the maps weren't lame they were just small and with what Ishmael-Pg hassaid abopive it makes it perfectly clear that they do listen to what we as a community has asked for. now i wonder if we can get the player chooses the starting fleet and the choose formation. addition that was asked for. As well as thedirectional and selectable bombing runs. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Kelathin Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 you're consistant with negativity at least http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n36/DarkEmpireSPG/kelathin2.jpgI shall Name him MiniMe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_of_the_Sith Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 His point is right. Every map with nebulas and asteroids. More over the maps where really TOO small!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelathin Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 actually the maps were the perfect size, we just had to add ssds and make them to small http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n36/DarkEmpireSPG/kelathin2.jpgI shall Name him MiniMe....

Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 i think that after playing a few of the maps again that i agree some of the space maps aren't big enough. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Kelathin Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Why are the maps too small? http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n36/DarkEmpireSPG/kelathin2.jpgI shall Name him MiniMe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune faded13 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 on subject, base placement means theres an option to put buildings where you want them?? so its like a sort of map editor ingame. well base editor ingame i guess. well that sounds amazing. i did not know about that. it would be cool if you could choose where your space units hyperspace into battle. instead of having the be in a semi circle around Capital Ships...anyone know about that? oh, and yeah i thought the original maps in EAW were lame. thats why i redid them all with the map editor. i hope the FOC maps arent too lame.
