Delphi-PG

Hi Guys, It has been well over a month now since the QA was sent too us and I do greatly apologize for the delay. With new info having been released during this time, and many of the questions probably being answered, I have a request for you. Can we please get a list of the top 5 questions you guys would like answered and sent over to me ASAP. I would like to get these questions no later than Wednesday (12-14-05). This way I can have them answered and posted by Friday (12-16-05). I leave it in the hands of the forum mods to make this happen. =) Thanks

Then whats the [space] over a second name for on the Website Delphi Because that is where this super weapon is actually used (fired).

Finally, can units inside your shield attack the enemy outside of your shield? Yes! Keep in mind Shields are designed to block energy based weapons not projectiles (lore). Of course for aprice, we have an upgrade that can do both.

and if power generators can only be built outside of the shield, why would anyone want to build it? Myself and a few others designers just got done fixing this. Originally this was lore, but it was not fun. Now it depends on the map, some are in the shields some are out. The terrain will be tactical different based on layout. Enjoy!

I say the Devs need to do a little more legwork and save themselves the trouble of actually coming up with ships that can fill in roles that are already filled in by ships that are in the Universe. We have designs, Lucas didn't want them in. We actually have over 50, but they were cut down for quality. We'd rather have ships that are fun and have unique tactical abilities than munging in ships for the sake of having them because they fit the time-line.

Release source code. Rrright.....

But does that mean if i have one huge battle with thousands of troops/ ships, (and obviously alot of casualties), the speeches are gonna go crazy with "unit/parts destroyed" message? heck no! This isn't the 90's anymore. We have audio managers coded in that handle this kinda of stuff.

That hut is not Yodas, it is part of the indigenous civilian system found on a variety of planets.

Maps, Units, structures, Scripts, textures, etc for the general populace. If you have C++ coders I'm sure you can get to the rest of the game (UI, new abilities, etc)

And what is the point of Dagobah if there is no Yoda? Well, umm stealth base is a good one. For the record, Yoda will not be hero in EAW.

Make your own mod with that feature. We would appreciate that. UI is hard coded, no way to mod it unless you have some C++ coders on hand and can extract this data. I'm guessing you guys still don't understand what I'm saying. I'll wait until more videos are posted.

Hmmm... I bet that that means that it is a type of Hypervelocity or Ion cannon that can be put in space maybe... or maybe they can fire at the ground? Thats a long shot though. These are ground based weapons used as planetary defense against space ships. Remember Battle of Hoth? Ion Cannons firing at Cap ships. That is what these two weapons do. Nothing more.

Whoah! That's cool. If it's range is bigger than it's line of sight, it has to be overpowered. Not really... There is balance, you just have to know which tactics and units to use.

I don't suppose its possible to train Jedi like in previous SW strategy games then? No...

please, Delphi, just this once, is it like Rebellion? For the love of god, noooo. But there are some similarities. Our game has more in common with C&C and RTW. I think you'll find it to be a good blend.

could the AI actually use it against me? You bet!

Feb 7, 2006 is still the U.S. release date. Haven't heard about the UK, French or German versions yet.

I wonder how this will be handled in space. Corvettes and Tartons are good at more that just scouting.

That's a goddamn sick gun. I'm going to have one on every planet. Better save those credits. You'll be making tough choices since not every planet can hold the same amount of structures.

Ion Cannons and Hyper guns are built only on planets. They will not have a variation that can be built in space. It would make no sense since the weapons are designed to fire at space based objects.

43 sounds about right, I think we had always stated 40+ planets.

Nope, not unbalanced. Obi-Wan is far more powerful than you think. Also, heroes are meant to be used in combos with other units. You can use them individually, but don't expect to wipeentire armies with one guy. Mara and Katarn are not considered Jedi in our game.

It is an official list. Maybe some thing have yet to be listed. =)

Uhh.. RPS (ABR) from an RTS designer means = Rock, Paper, Scissors balance

yes it can fire at cap ships, so can the ion cannon. Both of these supers are very nasty in multiplayer space tactical.
