George Lucas Plans to Resuscitate Dead Movie Stars... umm what??

You have to put in full screen mode - not sure if there's any trick to doing that. There really is no way to change the resolution that it uses, it's such an old game.

My understanding is that these set the starting stats based on some randomization stat = base + variance*randomization-factor What that randomization factor is, I have no idea. A variance change of only 1 could show little effect, since the randomization factor could easily make this less than 1. Depending on how this value is stored, it can either be rounded or (more likely) truncated to the nearest integer.

And this probably isn't safe for work... but so true (at least for girl's your own age)

Okay, not an actual game yet but... Kinect Lightsaber

This wasn't a decision based on how popular the game was. These forums were created at various times, for the most part haven't changed in the last few years KOTOR = 2003 Empire at War = 2006 Technically EAW should be grouped under "Old Star Wars games..." but we haven't been bothered to do so.

Neat, I love it when you're faced with a "no-win" scenario. I personally I have given the AI a handicap of hundreds of days, just to play with some challenge. Certainly not the extent of losing within 90 days I did a nice little mission in the original X-Wing game: Death Star Trench mission with no shields. That was fun.. but hell to actually pull off

If it isn't reinstalling, then you're stuck. I suspect your disc may be scratched

Just use Rebed to do a clean copy of the Rebellion DLLs, should get you up and running again

Cool - welcome! AFAIK, the hard drive slot is usually protected against simple liquid spills. Unless the entire machine was dunked in the pool, you probably could have taken out the hard drive and retrieved your data. Of course, I can't speak for laptops as old running Win 98, so maybe I'm wrong and they built it stupidly to run liquid excess into that hard drive slot

Sesame Street does 'There's an App for That' ... and some serious what-if discussion now that Apple has a trademark on the phrase

I can't find a screenshot of the GUI, but there's multiple shots of the new stuff you should be seeing... http://www.swrebellion.com/article-206-thread-0-0.html

Why is Amidala the girlfriend to every politician.. she's so smart, but can't figure out how Palpatine is using everyone.

Not easy as you would believe. Because Sins selects combat ships over colony ships, this will always happen. If the ship isn't defined as a colony ship, the AI isn't going to use it. So either you have a colony ship that doesn't actually work - or you remove the fighters completely.

I don't see any value in the 3D element. It's tactics then, if you're just moving from a top or bottom direction. Strategic gameplay isn't about how many directions you can move. It's about how many limited resources you have and how you can leverage them. The gameplay is certainly about planets and how you use what you have. It's about the decisions you have for gameplay - research, diplomacy, infrastructure. Ships are just the combat element, it could be any unit really like a robot in Supreme Commander. Warlords, by in large, was a combat simulator... take some amount of ships and throw them at each other and see what happens. It wasn't balanced to any sort of gameplay to introduce strategy by limiting elements. At best, we could try multiplayer maps with some control elements... but HW2 scripting isn't particularly easy - otherwise it would have been done already. We obviously have different values in our games. You want ship-to-ship tactical battles: Homeworld 2 is great. If you want epic, controlling the galaxy gameplay.. Sins is better for that. Different games for different styles. Really the move to Sins was never about a better or worse game. But what gameplay we are interested in. If you're that serious about Warlords, I'm certain you could start modding it yourself. It's all in the existing mod files

We'll agree to disagree then. Ultimately our own (well, mostly Eville's) interests drive us. Could there be future updates? Maybe, depends on what new ship designs come out and what time we have to spend on them.

There isn't active development going on right now for HW2. Doesn't mean it's dead, but lacking in new material so far - I don't expect anything soon. Eville may decide to do some stuff from TOR, who knows.

Episode 4 this season ... Pantora? Chuchi? All the names are terrible and all the voice actors are so bad trying to be "alien" These blue characters that looks like they're from Avatar... wtf!!! And somehow a politician's daughter is the best sharpshooter against a cantina full of bounty hunters. ANGER!

Everyone's going to have their own viewpoints. I don't think we can satisfy everyone... we're certainly not going to try. Thanks for the feedback though

I don't think any time is being spent on the HW2 mod at the moment. Work on Sins is being done not because it has the better graphics, but because it has the better gameplay. It is the more strategic, epic galaxy-wide game that us Rebellion fans generally enjoy I don't have answers to your specific questions and crashes, other than certain ships are lacking concrete details and thus Eville has his own artistic interpretation of them.

Really? Microsoft Phone I don't understand... they're selling us a phone to tell us not to get sucked into a phone?

Gosh that's so obscure. All the answers sound correct. Looks like you had to read a particular Star Wars Insider. Well at least Wookiepedia solves that, but still... obscure.

I'm not an Apple fanboy, but this is funny none-the-less

Wow .. so more Jar Jar, politicians debating relief supplies (who believes the Neimoidians anyway?) and even more Jar Jar doing juggling... At least it has droids and clones shooting each other... and a dead Jedi
