hey, i love to do this, i always give (with rebed) all the ships that should be on one side to that side, for example both the empire and rebs have neb-b's and correlian corvetes right? well i gave them to both of them, plus the bulk transport to the empire and the imp class 1 sd to the rebels like it is in the books, this makes the game much more fun in my opinion, plus i make it so on your hq world (if rebs) or coruscant (if empire) u start with 15 advacned shipyards, cunstruction facilities, and traing centers, plus 15 mines, and 15 refineries pluse defenses, that makes the game progress much faster, like once, I found the rebel hq at endor before day 50, by day 150 i had a fleet of around 15 ships there and invaded it, my opponet destroyed all the facilities there, but thats ok, after a short amount of time i had built like 47 i believe it was, advanced shipyards, boy i loved that, i coul build ssd's in a matter of a couple days, i think 16 or 8 or something like that. tell me what u think of these settings...
