Sure same, but the BBC is even more competative than game design. You'd have to have a damn good script to get in there. Plus, a lot of it is done freelance... having said that, they have so much junk on nowadays that I could definately make something better. It's all a matter of pushing. It would be pretty cool if we both could get in there though.

Uh, I'd probably end up being a writer... but they get paid nothing so I'd also have a second job it looks like. What that will be I have no clue. I wouldn't have any problems being indoctrinated into game design I suppose. I just figure that area is very competative, so the likelihood of me sneaking in there is almost null.

It's not quite the same, but a few years ago in England we had a census thingie taken, which was basically a whole load of form filling in. Some bright spark looked at the 'rules' (basically they bothered reading the damn thing) and found if a large number of people checked the box 'other' under religion and then stated it to be Jedi, then the state would have no choice but to officially accept it as a real religion. I'm sure Fosh remembers this. I recall a lot of people doing it, purely because the census was a whole load of rubbish anyway. I don't think it got accepted as a religion though.

Let me get this straight... a clan? As in kilts and warpaint? I don't feel the need to be initiated into a PFF clan if I'm honest, I just play for fun. Don't get me wrong, when the game comes out and if anyone here wanted one vs me that would be fine, but me in a clan? Sorry, but I think I can do without that.

*Throws a probe droid at anyone in range* Come on, it's on topic.

Obi-Wan-Kenobi Power: 'more powerful than you can possibly imagine' Upgrades 10% bonus to any nearby jedi heroes Hp:120 Abilties: Can mind trick the enemies into not spotting him, ie: stealth

We'll probably get a decent number of units. This isn't EA we're dealing with. I'm sure Petroglyph have done their best putting as many units in game as possible. Consider what we've seen already per team, that's got to be more than BFME has, even at these stages where we aren't seeing everything Petro has up their sleeves.

Re-Frigi Rate? Is that like some sort of health warning or something? But yeah, I like out close knit community. Having loads of people is cool, but it'll only be a matter of time before it consumes too many undesireables. When that happens I'll actually have to do something around here other than post... I don't know if I look forward to being a proper moderator.

*Slowly comes around* Whaa? Oh? No not chinese or anything like that. I want good ol' style pizza. But until I get one, I guess this old one will have to do... Mmmm... *Takes another bite and clollapses again*

They must have a good deal of control over them. I mean, Petroglyph are not allowed to release new info without the O.K. from Lucasarts, so my point is still valid. It's them that wears the pants...

In retrospect, I'd probably not instantly choose the nearest... I'd probably scout the nearest 3-5 and then find the coolest of them bonus wise. And the question isn't the same in my opinion, but it's close enough to let it slide I say...

Ah, there it is. Under that dead cat. Yum... I wasn't being sarcastic either... but please for the love of god someone buy a new pizza. This black, mushroomy, fur ridden one really needs to go in the trash. W00t... *collapses eating 'that' pizza"

This is Lucasarts we're talking about. The ability to save some stuff back for the full game is too good to pass up for them, be it heroes, planets, units, that kind of thing. I bet the demo is only going to be the equivilent to a sneak preview, having only a fraction of the units etc on display. It just seems consistent knowing how Lucasarts deal with these things. To be honest I'm surprised there's a demo at all.

I doubt we'll get a full list even when the demo is released

In all reality I'll probably head for... the closest one to me? Seems likely. I wanna be building while you guys are all off looking for distant planets. From the look of things Byss is pretty close to Coruscant for the Imps. So I might head for that to please my Emperor. Not got a clue for the Rebels. Whatever's cool and in range.

My thoughts exactly. Destroyed ships seemed to drift below the 2d plane of play, so I'm not sure if they'd have any real impact on play at all. Still, I'm guessing it would be some sort of restriction of movement for ships... basically to stop them from crashing into it. Hard to say really.

Medium to high probability of probe droids appearing there in my opinion. What other early scout could you want? Oh, speeder bikes, yeah. Hmmm... Probe droids are still likely though.

I'm a nutter. I have blind faith. I suppose it's not blind faith, but I do trust them to make it cool.

Now that's one brilliant first post. I have to commend you for taking the time to put that together. It may well reduce the number of questions new comers about which units/how many units there are. Very cool.

Maybe this is it... No that's not pizza, that's just an old black sock... Hmmm... Here pizza, pizza, pizza...

Borg and 8472 as neutral I was thinking. I mean, they don't fit in with any alliance really. I'm also well aware of restrictions I'm sure we're going to have imposed upon us concerning amount of individual races. Therefore I'm predicting that an overwrite of the Rebels and Empires with two 'groups' seems to be the best way to think about it as of yet until we learn more about what it is possible to mod in.

A Cadassian/Dominion alliance wouldn't be complete without them. I think that from what people are saying they want a Trek set from DS9 onwards? That way you get the prometheus, soverigns, a decent war of what would appear to be 6 factions (reality just 2) with Fed/Kling?rom vs Card/Dom/Breen... with some Borg in there somewhere?

No, it's free like most mods. It's prettty cool, but being on an internal network I haven't had the desire to try it out in the real world vs the experienced gamers. I never got into it like other people did, but I can see that it may appeal to some more than others.

Maybe I should feel offended... Nah. In this case I believe it's DarthMaulUK's site so how we were expected to report it before he announced it I'm not sure... Also be a little fair, it was 10:00 pm ish here. I sleep... I do.... and Siddus is in france so he's a similar timezone... darn American time. Truth be told, Fosh and Ghosly seem up on everything new before anyone else has a chance usually. Fastest guns in the west... It does make my position look a little stupid though As for the live chat, I'm looking forward to it. I only hope I'll find the time during Uni to participate though.

That can be arranged... But seriously, Boba aside who are we likely to see like the already mentioned 'Hero' bounty hunters?
