You are forgetting my friend the fact that Lucasarts has a say in the game. More than likely they will keep star destroyers the same as they were in the flight sims. Then again they may not. We'll have to see when we get our hands on the game.

Public beta is up on fileplanet.

Spoken like a true capital ship lover, but you cannot deny that some fighter squadrons or groups of fighter squadrons, if they are very very good, could possibly hurt a capital ship very badly or even destroy them. It also depends on the fighters or bombers in question. Y-Wings and B-Wings could do extensive damage to capital ships if in significant qualities. Proton torpedoes and concussion missles give starfighters a punch needed to take on capital ships. I don't deny the fact that capital ships do pack a lot more punch than fighters though and are the backbone of any fleet.

Yeah it get's released on the 7th I believe.

I don't think you could fight at night on Hoth. Your troops would freeze to death and your vehicles would probably freeze up. It should be noted that the rebels had to adapt their speeders to accomodate the cold weather and that was during daylight hours. At night it would be much colder.

That's a nice pc. Enjoy the high performance gaming

Well that interview confirms you can only have one Death Star built at a time. *whew*

It's more fun with fighters I'd say. I have more fun annoying the capital ships by flying around them with swarms of fighters. Imp. Gunner: Sir! We can't get firing solutions! They're too fast! Capt.: By all that's Imperial you'll find solutions officer! Anyway I've always been a starfighter jockey at heart (love wedge, luke, corran, etc.), so I'm a die-hard starfighter man.

The only thing I'm confused on Fosh is the economic and military strength ones. Could you elaborate on it for me? I'm not saying it's bad, just that it sounds like the sort of condition that could possibly turn the game into a production war and cause players to just mass fleets.

I wonder what good he'll be since you can't (as of yet) steal opposition ships. Maybe a spy or something.

Patience people. The Q&A should come back within a few weeks and then we'll have something good to discuss.

Yeah video card drivers are free. Here is a link to nvidia drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp Here is a link to ATI drivers: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27

I have the demo of AoE 3 and enjoy it, but am not sure if I want to get it. Any of you guys planning on getting it?

oh george w bush when will u learn........anyway would the distract them at cotusant thing work? battles don't place without u knowing? does it take time for things to travel?? so many questions... I kind of meant the aftermath. Some players will be freaked out that you attacked Coruscant so early, so they will try to make it impregnable. Meanwhile you can do whatever for the time being while they obsess about making Coruscant "untakeable".

It must be...

Funny, it would be. Be careful, you must. Against you, it may be employed. Vigilant, we must be. Now if you sent part of your fleet to bother the Empire at Coruscant and took some systems while they were distracted it might work to your advantage.

On Fileplanet it says that soon all users will get to participate in the Battlefront II open beta. Woot.

Ahh that explains why I've never seen your game Cain. I play v1.2 not v1.0.

I don't know if this has already been asked but : Will, or do you think, capital ship shields are counted as one whole shield or will there be fore, aft, and side shield components. That way your ship could lose starboard shields and roll to bring it's port side to bear while the starboard shields are brought back up.

I have it and I may play with you guys some time (when time permits), but the hovercrafts and ships can't be gotten in skirmishes.

lol. As long as they shoot I'll be satisfied.

Hmmm it's hard for me to tell. I'd say at least 2/3 of all units have been shown already in either videos or screens. However this is just a guess and I wish that there will be a lot more added, but I'm trying to take a minimal viewpoint so I don't go expecting too much.

I may be wrong, but weren't the Emperor's Hands not sith or jedi, but just force-sensitive. Mara Jade wasn't a sith by a long shot. My point was that in Dark empire he had sith people (I believe anyway).

In about a week and a half we'll get to discuss the Q&A.

holy crap he can do everything lol Yeah. I don't think that he should be able to see all of the ambushes. Yes he should be able to detect quite a few, but not all because that would make him too powerful and make an "ambush" portion of the game useless for the rebels.
