Garbageben

I've been in school since August 26th.

What is your price range? Also do you have a company preference?

We could have 8 player free-for-all space skirmishes with forum members.

Yeah the admin. seemed to be a bit ticked at me for killing him 4 times in a row. Still was fun though (when the admin. was being nice).

For those who thought this was another repetitive post about the demo you're wrong. I'm just wondering what the rest of you think on this thought: Will it be single-player skirmish exclusively or (hopefully) will it also be multiplayer capable? I'm of course hoping that it will be both single and multi-player. Your thoughts are welcome.

Hey G_S you need the cd to run the game, so even if I did send you the files, you wouldn't be able to play them. Tough luck on not being able to buy it.

I'm up for a game. I've been playing a little bit, but since college has started my gaming time has tanked, so I probably won't get to play much. X-Fire: garbageben

So you mean that currently the only buildable mon cal cruiser is the one with wings?

yea ive never even heard of him lol Jek Porkins is an x-wing pilot only seen in ep. IV. His x-wing tragically crashes into the death star while they try to blow it up. Basically he's a minor character (but still a very good x-wing pilot), so if he is in, then you can bet Ackbar will be in (don't quote me on this). I also hope that if Porkins is in, that Biggs Darklighter will also be in.

I, like Fosh, enjoy comics about Rogue Squadron characters.

It could be like the space station boost. If you have a good Commander/hero with a fleet, their stats will be boosted or something.

Hmmm. Since they keep pushing the release date back, maybe Petroglyph is deliberately hiding a lot of units until later. Maybe we'll all be surprised by the number of units that have not been seen in screens yet. Petroglyph could also have pushed the release date back in order to add more units. Ok that last statement is doubtful, but very very hopeful.

Ok I got the game installed and it didn't work for me either. I guess I should have expected that. It's still a fun mod to mess around with.

I have a new question: Can you dock fighter/bomber squadrons in space stations and do you think the # of f/b squadrons increases with a more upgraded station?

A new one would be fine. When I was on yesterday and it was changed I thought that I had finally come unhinged. It's good to know I am at least partly normal.

It also could be the angling of that picture, but it does look longer than 8 km.

They may be taking the whole asteroid damage idea from episode 5. The imperial commanders and pilots tried to just bull their way through and shoot any asteroids in the way. Plus the tie fighters all ran into asteroids and blew up. Maybe petro is having the the rebels be better flyers by not taking as much damage. This also could introduce interesting tactics to be used by the rebels, such as going through an asteroid field to make the imperials follow you so they'll take damage (more than you take) before having to duke it out.

Here's a game that has apparently gone under the radar. It's set in WW2 and is a strategy game. It won best RTS at E3 (yes even beat out our beloved EAW) and is being made by THQ, which I believe made Dawn of War. There is a fully destructable environment, so you can run your tanks through walls and such. I for one am keeping an eye on this game. It's probably the second best RTS I am checking out, behind Empire at War of course.

Were you able to have smaller ships, say gunships, escort larger capital vessels or like protect them from bomber attacks?

Like Indum, the main thing that I noticed was the paint bomb that blew up all over that mon cal. Other than that it is looking really good.

There's only one thing about that that doesn't go down right. If that is true, and since the devs said it was true, why are there acclamators, victories, and imperator star destroyers all in the same fleet? Perhaps they are considered different ship types?

Oh ok. Thanks for correcting me

Wasn't one of the videos supposed to be the rebels getting the plans for the X-Wing fighter? Wouldn't that be the opening sequence for the rebels then?

Didn't Petroglyph say that the video was "accelerated" for E3? Maybe we'll see a demo that is closer to the actual game (or stage that the game is currently in. ex.: alpha beta).

Have you played in Jabba's Palace yet? (Included in the 1.2 patch) That is a great map for firefights.
