heh, if you guys really really truly want to mix up the star wars universe and the HW2 universe...like if somehow a fighter facility got trapped in a warmhole, ended up in the HW2 universe, and decided to claim it for themselves!! mwah ha haaa........ anyway, be either imp or rebel and play against at least 4-5 other computers on expert. Simply because, the Star Wars ships outrange, outgun, outshield, and out manuever the HW2 ships....the only thing you can have left are numbers . And actually, I did try to go against a hard alliance computer where they couldn't build past the ROTJ era, and I was Hiigaran with 3 other allies. Needless to say, it was a very long and excrusiating game, but I did find out that as long as you're not hit with ion blasts....and the computer attacks your ally instead of you...you can do alright. By trying my best to stick to battlecruisers and ion and toropedo frigates for the enemy capital ships, I actually brought down a few MC's, along with a Bulwark Battlecruiser. Also...anything less than a destroyer can't really match the firepower of a battlecruiser anyway....though the only bad thing is that any ship below a destroyer can outrun your torpedoes as well food for thought

I was messing around with the game options in player vs cpu, and I noticed that you can start with an "Endor" fleet. I tried this out and wow....it was definitely a good fight. The Empire starts out with the executor and a lot of ISD and ISD II's, as well as more than 100 tie fighters and interceptors. As for the rebellion, they have a large cruiser as well, and it's one I haven't been able to build yet, called "The Independance". Just seeing this thing made me fall in love with it instantly, but I have yet to play a game where I have the option to build this wonder. Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

...is anybody going to reply to these forums anymore?

hey yeah, I was noticing that too. There is the option to have just clone war ships, but I actually haven't seen that many. And I'm not sure how you're going to handle that, because the sides back then were actually reversed, and it was the Empire versus....I'm not really sure you could call them the rebellion, but it was against the droid armies. Anyway, just wondering what you're gonna do about that as well

Hey, for all those that want to reply, I've been playing this mod for a while, and I'm getting kinda tired of playing a few maps with the same layout and everything, so I was just wondering how exactly you go about making your own map. I also heard that some third party maps don't work, so if anybody could point me in the right direction (i.e another thread explaining this, a place with directions, etc) I kinda want to try it out. Thanks for your time

remove the value of attack the ship has? o.O....that doesn't sound good, if he was we'd need a really good system to compare ships when we build them.

they were definitely armed, they used them in the battle of endor. Probably heavily modified though, but if anything it could be a breaching ship? possibly? Granted they are pretty big, but yeah, resupply, healing, any of those would work for it too

oh yeah, by the way, just wondering if those medium transport ships are gonna be put in. You know, the ones that transported the people off of hoth. oval shaped with two grey hulls on either side? Just wondering if that's going in anywhere

Yeah, I think they say they're shield generators, but I think I'm gonna side with eville on this one and say they have now gotten smarter and built those things inside of the hull where they are protected, and replaced the domes as sensors. Honestly, what british genius (cuz the empire are all british) came up with the idea to put the most important, lifesaving part of the ship in the easiest and least defended position, I ask you who.

actually, the only time I've noticed VSI's fire a salvo of rockets is when I was fighting against them. I've built them a lot as the empire, and I still have yet to see a cloud of torpedoes coming from that thing. Actually...I think selected it and pressed 'z' and it came up with the salvo cursor, maybe I'm thinking of something else but if that's the case....then it seems like it can only fire once (since there's nothing that a Destroyer can dock to)

Eh, I'm not really favorable towards that "ship" addition (not sure whether you can call it a ship or a platform with hyperdrive). It's just kind of a box with four legs that can apparently shoot lasers from....somewhere. Oh yeah, and it can harvest. I'm sorry to bring a negative light to this creation, but it's just kinda big, clunky, and hard to look at. I haven't really read many of the star wars books, so I only knew about this thing after reading the previous threads. I know it's probably going to stay in there as a buildable ship, so if I have a problem with it, I'll just not build it. But still......I mean come on, it's a floating shoebox that launches torpedoes and fires lasers out of god knows where...is that really that necissary?

yeah, I can see where you're going there. I don't know how many times I got frustrated at my destroyers for taking so freaking long trying to manuever around the shipyard, and not getting anywhere. And then I just have to give them waypoints around so they can get out. But still...I kinda like it the way it is. I like being able to put my cruiser shipyard in the back, or wherever else I want it. Actually, what I want is the ability to set up a fighter shipyard way out from my original one without having to wait all day for it to move there. Perhaps there's room in the game for a compacted and mobile version of the fighter yard to be flown to where you want it and "unpacked"? or perhaps a mobile construction facility to construct.....construction facilities? lol, I don't know, just a thought. (and by the way, just wondering what the "world devastator" is, exactly. I don't really get it)

um....yeah...I curse...what he said! *shakes his fist*

well, yeah that's definitely the case. Though with Ender and Byss you can see constillations and the planet in the background. The one's that are different are the ones without the picture...you know...of the same map over and over. Those other ones are actually pretty interesting, and I have seen screenshots of a map with the deathstar in the middle. I think also that those maps might be temporary until they design new ones? I'm not sure, but I actually might try out the map creation tool not too long from now.

*shakes his fist at sierra* I curse thy name
