7.... We could but whos going to host it 24/7 ?

Ok then I guess I should stop posting in this unless someone else wants to talk about it ? check this out, review from gamespot and oyu might learn something from this http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/starwarsrts/preview_6126111.html?tag=boxcar_all_preview_image

Well it looks like the Falcon. What makes you say its turn based ? it could be real time Cain I like your idea about this game taking place 1 year after episode 3. See a cinematic of a random person looking for people to form the Rebellion and gather random ships from some random planet. Have ghost ships from the last clown wars float around the galaxie and you take it in and use it as your own ? Find a hero unit who somewhow managed to live on it ? or find hiding jedi's in the outer rim on some random planet ?

damn ya its been down for 1 hour. Wonder whats up. WEll what was this topic about anyways ?

indeed, was it just me or did this forum go down for 5 min ?

Good idea lol. Then post what you got answered and what not. Well it would loosen up the question being released to the devs but the devs ignore the question anyways so might as well find out what they got to show Cant wait for this game now.

I only see what I and other people find like videos and such. Well I think the AI was on easy for E3 show unless it was another player playing which I doubt it woulda been. The AI did ok but not as much as you would expect. It did defend itself tho and able to destroy Petro's E3 team so they could show the retreat and how it is done. Thats how you can tell its real time.

Deleted it as you said, well I donno lol, nice question to ask, would be nice seeing your ships begin then stay and end their hyper jump. Lol this might sound nuts but I wonder if the devs if they can make a small game mode were you go against star trek ships lool. Star Wars vs Star Trek lol. an unlockable mode. Would be to much for a first game but would crush the RTS and raise it ? Dont really need it tho but would add to the fun in a way.

It must be expensive since in Battlegrounds (Yet again I have to make an example from it) Turrets and anti-air turrets cost a fortune and had to have nova and jedi nova to trade into ore. Well it would be expensive since you would be building a defensive planet. 1-20 per planet ? more would be nuts. Would be like a deathstar

Wow, Those turrets look more of a planetery defence and anti air type. Having that would make you think your on a Death Star lol. Well so you can place them anywere ? If so that'll be nice since I could get rid of Fish sticks, Y-wings, and other rebel crafts. This'll be interesting to play with.

Yup, what do you like better ? my opinion Turn based like Rome Total War and Civilization 3 ? Its slow and annoying since your turns get wasted. Real Time you can do whatever you want and dont have to wait for other people if its a multi game. Having the freedom to do whatever you want at anytime is better and dont have to wait 4 turns which could have been done 3 minutes before.

6:54 pm in Eastern Canada and still a little weak and I get easily destracted since I was sick when I woke up, horrible thing to experience since it seems like a horrible dream.

From what I seen in E3 demo everything was real time and it was perfectly done. You just tell your ships were to go and they go there. then I think you click on the planet you want to take over and you see your ship(s) end their hyperspace jump at the planet. Then you battle in space then when you win that you go to ground and battle on 2 maps and its taken over. If oyu lose it goes back to space then battle/planetery map. You can see what ships went were and its like a pause menu from my guess. After each battle you get credits like 400 from Bespin and 200 from Tatooine or whatever. well maybe there should be a option for Real time and turn-based since both side of the spectrum of gamers would be happy Note: This is what I saw and its what I think its going to work out.

Seems like it unless they come up with another one which would be a retail or maybe they're making many box covers for different parts of the world

If I could name my ships it would be this and I know it might not contain accents on them. at least 10 ships would be named this in my fleet if it could be named I'll steal couple peoples names and these are the names i'll use in my fleet. For my Imperial fleet would be: Ghost-Havoc Phantom Decimator Archangel NiÄ

you welcome

welcome to the boards Well its all real time from what I saw. No turn based stuff.

well it should be downloadable since I was able to. lol. Gotta love Fraps since I was able to get pictures from video that way. The awsomeness of this game is just getting bigger and bigger. I saw this animation of a 400 from Bespin from that video I gave a link of that Sluggo found. 400 credits ? Well thats interesting. Gaining credits after a battle ? Well thats interesting. I thought you gain it ever second but after a battle, interesing I'll know for sure when more info pops up

Good job with making the game Love the music track playing in the background, makes it more star warsy I like how the ships end their hyperspace jump into the sector (The one with about 8 Star Destroyers) They then fight with the Rebels and then Deathstar comes in and blows up the planet. Nice destruction effect of the Star Destroyer falling to pieces slowly, adds to how destructive star wars battles are That Rancor in one of the E3 videos adds to that Star Wars effect of random animal attacks that could change the tide of the war lol. Always got to be prepared lol. Vader might be strong but if something is attacking him he usually deals with the problem by destroying it quickly but thats from what I seen. I like how everything looks real (Well most of the stuff) It looks like a real living world. The Star Destroyer looks fierce, it made me shake in my boots and would to the Rebels who had no choice but to attack them.

I see the shield, wasn't paying attention to it tho, was looking at Obi-wan and vader and them troops, those turrets, and the wall, the dead trooper, that tank and that tower but not the shield. llol

My answer wont be straight up since i'm worried I might spoil the ending of the movie of Episode 3 Well if it happens couple years after Episode 3 then we might see kid or teens of Luke and Leia, I'm guessing they were in their 20's in the movie (4,5,6). So we might see them but they would have to learn the way of the force, Leia sensed Luke being alive at the end of episode 6 so its possible shes force sensative but not a full force sensative. Picture above - That is Obi-Wan but the graphics on him are weak at the moment. Other person I can call him would be Count Dooku but it couldn't be because he would of either been killed by Anakin or died of old age or had a fight with his droids. I was wondering if we would have 100% of the left overs from Episode 3 and if we research everything to get to what is in (ANH). I know we control our own destiny but what do we do to get higher tech ? Maybe I should leave this for later answering ?I guess I should.

Sweet got another video to look at while I wait thanks to Slurgo thank him for finding this link lol http://www.gamezone.de/gamezonetv_popup.asp?dl_id=867&rand=2005041219 download link is under the player picture of the map here http://www.freewebtown.com/ghostlypolovnik/E3_Empire_at_war.html

Heres one from Sluggo, I love the animations, very sweet http://www.gamezone.de/gamezonetv_popup.asp?dl_id=867&rand=2005041219 download link is under the player heres another one http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=6127&type=mov

Its Obi-Wan vs Vader !!! Is that a power core I see like the one from "Galactic battlegrounds" ? So we'll need power to run our bases ? How interesting if thats true lool. poor stormtrooper, must be playing dead.

I have 3 questions -How will multiplayer work ? Will there be IP search and/or gameroom search ? Something like the oldschool battlegrounds had. -How big will be the playing field (map) on land and space be in single and multiplayer ? Will it differ at what kind of planet or moon it is ? If it is Dantooine will it be big and if its Endor will it be small ? But will the map be bigger then the ones in Battleground or bigger since that was so small and very quick. -Will we be able to give control of our units to a teammate in multiplayer when one of our teammates is down on resources and units ? That good ?
