Lucasarts are hindering Petroglyph. Look at the game. We were initially told ages ago that the SSD was in the game. I beleive that this was fact. Then it was removed so we had a period of "damage limitation", now they have removed the Venator as there are too many Star Destroyers in the game. Unless suddenly the entire structure of the game changes they will have alienated the main players of Star Wars. You mentioned X-wing. That is the exact period of this game. Look. They don't have many of the units associated with the period. TIE Advanceds and Interceptors were in this period. I admit that they don't come into the game till near the end but still they are there. The ISD models seem to be more Deuces than Impstars so it looks as if this was meant to be a later period than we are being told. In the initial releases we are told that there will be 50+ planets that has been changed to 44. I think that the reason the game was pushed back was because LucasArts actually changed the entire constraints of the game so Petroglyph had to edit the unit list and the Planets. Maybe even recode vast swathes of scripts. We were told that this would be the most "polished" game released. Its starting to look a lot like a BFII wannabe but in more detail.
