tht link above for a pic of the ranger gunship, is tht fanfic cause i saw a bothan assault cruiser tehre and it was diff than the pic i saw posted. dunno who but the bothan assault cruisers have had my imagination for a while and i wanna know which is wat it actually looks like.

okay i was doing pretty well tht time i played! i managed to get to coruscant with a fleet large enuff to keep away all but a decent sized fleet. i hadnt been attacked in a while, my 9 shipyard system was doing well, but sadly wedge was assassinated. so here is my dilemma: i couldnt get the planetary shields down! they had 2 gencore I's there and i couldnt take them out--even with page, 4 infiltrator teams and another guy. i had the planet blockaded for a year, from day 1000-1350 and then disaster struck: a fleet of 1 ssd, 2 ISD, 3 VSD and assorted smaller craft obliterated my fleet, but i managed to hit the ssd pretty hard. then a smaller fleet i had scared them off and i was around coruscant again--vader and palpy there too! but again shields wont get blowed up so i gave up tht game.... can ya give some tips on how to make my teams more effective as imps and rebels and also i noticed tht i dont really build troops... i just dont, dunno why--guess i need to get into tht but my strike teams are the worst... got ne tips to mak'em kick ass?

oket dokey.. 2morrow when i off skewl for weekend i try this strategy and tell ya how it works out for me.. thanx for ure help!

when i play as imps i have one fleet i always like(when i manage to stay alive long enuff). 4 ISDI's -- the Gorgon, Hydra, Manticore and Basilisk and Admiral Daala in command on the Gorgon. just send tht fleet jumpin around rebel systems and bombard watevers there.

so what should i do about mines and all tht stuff, and would using tht strategy apply to playing as the empire too? and wat ships should i build(imperial and alliance) in the beginning of the game for decent defensive fleets?

so the comp will do reasonable job of troop/resource management? and waddaboot fleets? wat should i put in them? i'd like to be able to play as imps too. any suggestions to counter tthose surprise visits? and how can i get shipyards up fast? like lotsa yards in 1 system so i can get lots of ships speedier. also, should i have lotsa fighters, if so, which type? x/y/b/a wings or tie waddever.

okay. i've not played rebellion in a loooong time. had the game for aboot 2 years. in that time i have beaten the game a total amount of times: 1 no joke i have beaten the game once in 2 years. on easy. sad i know. yesterday i was tiring of bridge commander and i said 'ya know wat! im gunna beat rebellion AGAIN!' so i need tips on how to succeed. in ALL my other games my opponent jumps into a sector with small fleet(isd, couple carracks) and hops around killing my planets! i have quite a bit of trouble staying alive. in my one game i won it was a total fluke. i gathered all my ships at my hq in th outer rim(bakura to be exact) it was quite an array of ships... okay it was a hodge-podge... damaged mon cals, corvettes, 1/2 strength fighter squads, but the pride of the fleet was the 3 bulwarks. in a stunning display of military tacticianship(exaggeration of century:P) my kitbash fleet routed the imperials at coruscant(think battle of endor ) and i took out the imperials because of the sheer size of the fleet. i felt so good. i found vader on corellia, just as another huge imperial fleet dropped in there after i scooped him up. couple ssds so i was glad i finally "won". so i want tips on how i can not suck @ this game! i would like to play as the imps and win but coruscant is way 2 vunerable. i like the rebs vesatility with their base moving ability. im not too good @ micro managing so i needs major tips there. wat kinda of fleets should i made, how can i get shipyards up fast while still getting good maintanence points, mines etc. how can i counter the hit and runs the imps/rebels make mid game? watever tips u can give on how to micromanage my troops/fleets/resources/gaining planets and how to give my any edge i can, as rebel or imperial would be GREATLY appreciated. thanx for all your help!
