Duuuuude, those stations are HUGE!

Some of the troop animation is really funny....was the speed setting high on the demo?

I hope we will be able to add officers to ships/vehicles, or maybe as with Dawn of War, where you could add a captain to an infantry squad.

Well yeah, you'd expect to have ISDIIs and SSDs around Coruscant or whatnot, but more backwater planets would probably still be protected by older Republican ships, and only get replaced later on. (don't mind me, I usually only play Empire in SW games if at all possible, so all of my posts are made from their point of view)

Also, did you see any omnipotent rancors?

I have it, but I gotta study real bad, so not sure about time....but I could squeeze an hour or two per day no problem I think. I used to own at SWR a few years ago, but didn't play for 3-4 years now, only started again a few weeks ago, played one online game since then, and totally owned the guy (I had a DS blowing his planets to dust before he could even get his fleets organized ), I'd rank myself mediocre. Not a n00b, but not all that good either.

Too bad, kinda looking forward to having more of a mixed fleet...

Little B.: any news on naming ships?

Why the hell would you want to upgrade a 3.2? I've got a 3.0, and I have no plans on upgrading it for around 1-2 years at least. And congrats on the wedding.

I was just thinking, if you as a player for example empty a planet of all forces (say you send them on an urgent mission to attack a planet with badly needed resources), and the other side attacks the planet. Will there be a bloodless conquest? Because I think realistically, even if e.g. the Empire sent the garrison of one planet on a relief mission to another system, there's just no way that there would be NO stormtroopers left on the planet. You'd certainly have police forces, guards guarding facilities, perhaps trainees, cadets, etc. So I have two ideas: -If a player assaults an "empty" planet, he should suffer some casualties nonetheless, perhaps due to solo actions of brave civilians, security forces, saboteurs, etc. -There should be an option for a player to make provisions in case his planet were to be conquered. Depending on how many resources would be allocated for this, the stronger the "Resistance" of a planet would be after the occupation, ranging from ship/building sabotage, assasinations, riots, guerrila warfare, etc. Comments?

As far as I understand this, the point is that your fast ships would use asteroids as cover for as long as possible, before jumping the transport that were on their way to the planet. So if a planet is surrounded by asteroids, you could sneak a pair of fast cap ships all the way to the planet undetected, jump the transports as they leave their capital ships, take out 2-3 of them, then retreat if possible. At least that's how I see this part of the interview.

I don't like cookies actually Gimme beer and I might consider it...

Oh yeah real actors would kick ass! Although for a strategy game, and especially an open-ended one...I don't know, the effort would probably be unnecessary.

Just popping to see what's new. I thought that a picture might get your attention haha. Anyway; I don't care much for real actors doing the voices, if that means the game will be made sooner and cheaper (meaning more cash left for other things or expansion packs). Didn't the guy who played Lando Carlissian lend his voice for a recent SW game? I think it was Jedi Academy, not sure though.

I come from Slovenia's capital Ljubljana. I'm a law student, not doing very good with my studies, but fuck that for now. Otherwise I'm 20 years old, been a SW fan since I was 12, read many many EU books and comics, played every possible SW PC game. In my spare time I am also a metalhead (just on my way to Wacken Open Air ). thats it.

Heya Mike, nice to have you here! Don't be a stranger!

Well I'm looking forward to the MP campaing mode....that will be SWEET!

Nice! But see how they avoided the SSD question completely...

Agreed. IMO there are a lot of designs that almost an integral part of SW due to their popularity in EU, yet they will bring in new things?

The same reason they didn't go searching high and low across the galaxy for Force-sensitives, perhaps?

True, and having the freedom to alter the storyline is one thing, but if we're implementing this sorta stuff, why not give stormtroopers cool jetpacks and awesome miniguns with which they would own the crap out of any Rebel army? Why not, the Empire could have done that if they wanted to...

Not very realistic for the post Ep III to Ep VI era.

Got them, thanks! Totally awesome pics!

I don't see these new pics on the site....
