Rebellion Redundancy?
It adds sort of realism. You don't see these clustered stars that represent you holdings, all you see is the galaxy. It allows you to become more familliar with your empire... or rebellion. Other than that, I've go no bloody clue.

If you could talk to the game's developers...
I'd ask them to make another one! Updated graphics, some gameplay changes, ground battles... it could be the ultimate SW game!

Tactical Game...err...tactics!
Just push print screen and then paste them into an pic program... I usually just get a black screen though.

Questions about foiling missions?
Detection Rating: this only determines if a mission if foiled. Combat rating determines if the enemy unit is captured/killed. Question 2: If a unit foils a mission other charaters will generally affect whether or not the foiled unit is captured/destroyed. Again, this is based on combat rating. Also, the more troops there are at a location the greater the chance enemy units will be foiled/captured/ destroyed. Question 3: It really doesn't matter. It is best to place a high leadership general with 10-12 troops with the highest detection rating. This will greatly increase your chances of capturing and foiling enemys. The only other way to increase this chance is to place a Jedi on the same planet. Special Forces: Unless they are on an espionage mission, no.

What Other Books are you Reading?
I'm sure Admiral Antilliles would have gotten to the question sooner or later . What other types of books are you reading. Add the name of the book(s) since I can't put that in the poll Personally, I read Fantacy. I'm reading a book series called the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Great series if not a little bit violent... maybe that's what is so good about it. You can only get it in Canada right now but it's comming out in the U.S. soon. It's written by one Steven Erikson. http://www.malazanempire.com

Tactical Game...err...tactics!
@Scathane: Yup, still works even if you take command. It is also a good idea to have Admirals/Commanders on a ship should you decide a battle is not worth taking command. @Jahled: That sucks man

Honestly, I don't think he'd mind. In any case, there's no way to contact him to ask and he's probably forgotten all about it. If any one wan't to attempt to make changes, I say go for it!

Tactical Game...err...tactics!
The computer is, fortunately, not very intelligent and so: 1. I leave my command ship (generally the largest ship in the fleet. It has My Admiral/General?Commander aboard) at the rear with one or two escort ships and usually a squadron of fighters. 2. I send my light ships/blockade-runners forward to directly engage fighters/capitol ships. I also send one squadron of fighter-to-fighter... fighters into the frey. 3. I send a quarter of my large ships left, right up and down. 4. The ships from left and right move in on the enemy fleet while those above and below flank them to prevent retreat (my interdictor also helps with this). 5. I send bombers after thier interdictor should things turn ugly. If they don't have one I target thier command ship. 6. I'll some times send in my command ship if there is no danger to my leaders. This usually works but on occasion the computer counters.

There were rumors of a v0.27 but nothing ever materialized. There were also some programmers in the community that were going to make one but that, too, lead to nothing.

@ SOCL: I WAS a member, just lost interest @Scathane: We've tried over the years to make contact with him again to no avail. We wanted to make some changes to RebEd.

Canada Loves Star Wars
Wow , it seems no matter who you meet from Canada, they're ALMOST always from, or originally from, or have family in, Ontario.

Starting Characters?
I believe that can be confirmed. However, changing the ships really isn't much use. If want a specific ship in the beginning, just make the research 0.

[Poll] Do you enjoy playing Rebellion versus Person/Comp?
Another problem is that only one side can have a Death Star. I tried giving it to the Rebels once and the Imperials still had contol over it in the battles but the rebels paid for it , a good tactic against a friend if you don't tell them
