a paragragh taken from this: http://www.gamespot.com/features/freeplay/index.html?story=6136741 "If you're a fan of games, and you've been using the Internet and online discussion vehicles like chat rooms, newsgroups, and forums for some time, don't try to tell me you've never seen any hardcore game fan get ridiculously worked up over a game. Don't try to tell me you've never seen people act like they were slapped in the face when they read such-and-such review. This is why fans can be so difficult to deal with, not just for guys like me who review and preview games, but also, in my opinion, for the developers that make them. Have you ever wondered why developers don't "just tell us" every last detail about a game's development? Much like the phrasing in the Miranda rights suggests: anything anyone in the game industry says, whether they are game reviewers or game developers, can be used against them." Finally someone puts into words what I was thinking. Mind you, while this does happen here occasionally, I've known some really bad forums in this regard. *note: My first topic (I think)! YAAY!

Maybe it is force upon the Imperial players no matter whether they want it or not. Be like the TIEs, its free and already under construction. The problem is, you lose it, you lose the game I suppose.

Yeah, no need for ranks when they all know I'm the best. Just kidding:lol: Or am I?

A voodoo 3? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gaspgaspgasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAhAHahehehehe.... hehe... *sigh* My old computer had one of those and I hated it to no end, I was dancing with joy when I glued 3 M-80's to it and blew it up... Then threw it's kerosene soaked remains into a burning pit. I really, really hated that thing...

Or have fun with the answers... Make the all the fanboy's heads spin!

Don't you just love it when developers drop bombs like that? I like that. I always considered TIEs throw-away units anyhow (and probably would have treated them as such), so this goes in well with my overall strategy and tatics.

Not exactly that... I'm just tired of the whole Jedi thing in general, to much fanboyness involved and almost all Star Wars games revolve or have heavy emphisis on Jedi. I associate more with everyday troops than I do with some uber-powered individual. Thats probably why I liked Republic Commando, though even those guys weren't exactly your everday trooper either. Anyhow, I just like the Empire a bit better than the Rebellion because they have cooler capital ships, though the A-Wing will always be my all time favorite ship.

I've never seen that blimp with the death-ray before.... I'm really getting hyped about this game, it has a very intresting take on fantasy. I'm very glad they didn't do the traditional dwarves, elves, and ect. thing, I'm very tired of those types of games.

I've trouble seeing that as a bad thing..

I think that was the idea, mainly because Palpy thought Anakin lost his potential after becoming a cyborg. Oh, and there probably won't be another Sith Empire. The first one about destroyed itself with all the individual greed and ambition, so after that the new rule was that the sith were only allowed a master and an apprentace.

Only thing I'm worried about is my graghics card. FX5700 is getting a little long in the tooth. Also I don't have PCI Express on this thing, so if I do upgrade I'm going to be stuc with the Nvidea 6800 ultra for awhile. But my 2.20 GHz processor w/ 2 gigs of RAM can handle about anything out right now.

I'm not sure when this chat is, but here is a time zone converter thingy. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

Then how do you explain all the other proto-types (like the TIE Advance and the cloaking TIE) that never went into full scale production? Those were made for specificly the Empire, but never made it into full scale use. The X-wing may have made it into the demonstration stage of development, but would have never gotten into full production. Imperial dogma had capital ships first and fighters as second. Think before you flame.

I want multiplayer info, like server set ups, friends list, server search capabilities, a mod list, ect.

I don't think internet forums are covered in that, and if it is, there is no one to enforce it.

I could turn HAL (my computer) into a ded and create a private server.

Ah yes... Zergling rush inside a minute, Carrier rush inside of 7 minutes, and after 5 terrians are making it rain nukes. Starcraft might be intresting, but I do want at least one FPS to pick up the pace. UT2k4 and Battlefield 2 are my choices, though I'd accept CS:S if left no other choice...

Oh no'z!!! Fosh's head might exsplode now!!!

If this game makes good money, itll get an exspansion (might get one anyways.) If both the game and exspansion make good money, there will be a second game. At least, thats the pattern I see in a lot of RTSs now-a-days.

I'm not getting Civ.4 anytime soon and not going to get Age of Empires at all. Other than that, I see no problem. I have or will get the rest.

Hmmmm... This is tough.... Rebel fighters or Imprial capital ships? Both goverments had a fair degree of corruption, but I guess the Republic had far less discrimination. I guess I'd go with the Imps just because you can't beat the majesty of those star destroyers in battle formation. That and they have a cool theme song.

I'm still looking for Stunt FX. I rented it once, loved it, now I can find it anywhere. SNES is probably my second favorite console, right after the NES.

PFF Clan = Petroglyph Fan Forum Clan Outside of Darkmark, Fosh, Ghostly (or whatever he is calling himself now), Gen.Vader, and myself I can't tell you who is in it. Make things simple for ya' http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=159 That is his profile, that has contact info. Though it seems he only has the PM thing listed.

I'm just noticing something. The storm trooper unit icon (its in that black box thingy) on the bottom screen shows multiple stormies... Indication that infantry are built in squads and not individual units? I liked that in DoW, less micro managment. Also someone needs to wipe that monitor... Look at all those fingerprints... Yeech.

Considering you're both human males, I find that statement disturbing...
