Clone Wars package is a standalone only right now. The patch that was previously available only in the chatroom has not been releasesd yet. The next version of Warlords should incorporate all of the Clone Wars into one package with the rest of the ships. Stay tuned!
Here's what I recommend: Vector Prime - you have to start somewhere.. besides Salvatore does a decent job Dark Tide I & II - if you like the Stackpole X-Wing books Star by Star - the pinacle of the NJO series, must read Traitor - probably the strangest SW book you've ever read. If you like Shatterpoint, its the same style Destiny's Way - definite turning point in the NJO timeline... The Final Prophecy - just because it leads into the final book nicely The Unifying Force - a good end to things... So that's it. I'm not saying the other books are bad, they are worth reading for other plots. The worst I'd have to say is Balance Point - honestly it doesn't even deserve a hardback. Another Kathy Tyers book that just doesn't do justice to the Star Wars name.
Oh the drama... Personally I think the French are right to challenge the constitution. It seems many are prepared to force it onto the populace. If its a question of sovereignty, than I think it is good to be cautious. I don't really know the details.. if it actually puts others in the hands of national sovereignty or not... but that is certainly a reason why the U.S. never joined the League of Nations (something we actually helped push to create). It was only later that we joined in the formation of the United Nations. Sounds like history repeating maybe?
Okay, I don't think there's a contradiction here. If you consider the X-Wing games as an exagerration for gameplay value, then it makes the Rebel fighters much more overpowered. You see this same effect in the books, where starfighters make all the difference. It doesn't mean that EU is wrong, but it does show a preference for the 'good guys to win' effect.
Someone write it, we will host it. Simple as that... we just need someone who wants to do the work No we will not host the actual Rebellion manual, due to copyright concerns.
Unfortunately the admins seem to receive reports of hacking every day and they don't seem to really do anything about them unless you're a top player Only thing you can do is reset your account.
Pretty sure Homeworld models cannot be imported directly into Homeworld 2. The same would go for Homeworld Cataclysm models. You may want to ask the mod guys doing Homeworld -> Homeworld 2 mod about that
Chewie is not a "main character".. in the sense of the game engine. He is one that you'll start out with, but he can be killed. Luke, Leia, Han, Mon Mothma, Vader, Palpatine Those are the only 6 that cannot "die"
The Death Star ups all loyalty in the sector that it is in. Thus if you have a lot of disloyal planets you want to max on loyalty, use the Death Star in that sector to get your diplomats a 'head start'. It really does make a difference. I never use the Death Star to blow up anything really, except starships. It is much better as the 'technological terror' that you can subdue Rebel planets with. Just keep lots and lots of fighters to protect it, or a Death Star shield.
