I did ask that question but they couldnt answer it at this time DMUK

The community asked the questions. Nothing i can do about that. And, with just 12 weeks to go, im sure Lucasarts want to keep some surprises DMUK

Nice try hehe. Thats the only one. I was going to post it at the end of the chat, but I had clean forgot with so much going on DMUK

The last i heard (Monday) that the demo *could* be out for the middle of december DMUK

Although it wasnt asked in chat, the B-Wing wont be in the game. It was a simple response answer, so it wasnt posted DMUK

I believe starwars.com will be having one DMUK

When we set out to have this live chat, there was always going to be the chance that certain questions would not get answered - Lucasarts need to keep some surprises up their sleeves. Everyone question i had pre-submitted, ie from my forums and here, were asked in a private chat lobby I had set up. The ones that could be answered were selected, and that included questions being submitted live during the chat. The format we chose seems to work best. A Moderator posts the question, then one of the guests answers it. There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes (namely our private chat lobby) prior to a question being answered. It seems the fact you had problems connecting to the chat Jmaster isnt a reason to blame anyone. Its upto the owner of the PC to ensure that these things work in advance (ie, java script) and I learnt my lesson from my own problems the last time we tried to hold the chat, which, ran extremely smoothly. Thanks to everyone who attended. DMUK

Here are the ones I will be asking from here Sparky You mentioned that it will be hard for either side to know where the enemy is...but can't you/opponent just look at the galactic map and see where the enemy planets are? Is it possible for planets to support the other side in secret? and will the game allow smuggling? Teradyn Can you describe how orbital bombardment will be handled? Do we direct fire down from capital ships based on their power, ISD massive (and/or frequent) with smaller ships providing weaker/less often barrages. What would prevent a sufficiently large orbiting fleet from being able to decimate the defending forces without the attacking ground forces having to be involved in the battle? FoshJedi2004 Are there set Fleet Formations that we can set the fleets to?? EG: Flanking/Hammer and Anvil Ghostly_Substance Is there a Ladder of some sort ? I read in one of those magazines that there would be a tournament thing Grd Admiral Thrawn 889 when can we expect unit information being released? DMUK

I will post the questions shortly. Ive been pretty ill with a cold, in addition to my glandular fever so i havent had much energy this week. But i will get it sorted today. So many questions to look through! DMUK

I wouldnt worry about the wording. Im used to having to edit questions sometimes. Thanks for all your questions, I will be spending tomorrow having a good look through them and then I will post the lucky ones in this thread. DMUK

Please note that the chat WILL be on Friday 11 November @ 7pm GMT 11am PST DMUK

With the live chat scheduled for 11th November @ 7pm GMT (11am PST), we are giving 5 members from the PPF to have their question put to the Petroglyph dev team first, with us at the Lucas forums. http://www.empireatwar.net/chat for full info DMUK

We are looking to make it Friday 11th. The reason being that alot of the community cant make Monday. I will keep everyone posted DMUK

Saturday or sunday will never happen. Lucasarts arent open @ weekends. Petroglyph might be working, but we can have the chat at weekends. It is the perfect time but thats life! DMUK

Yeah we know what happened - totally unexpected. Im trying to move it to a friday. Just waiting on the word back from Lucasarts DMUK

With this in mind, I do suggest you also change what you have written on your website. Calling me incompetent is something i dont take likely. Having Petroglyph use the same IP is something we didnt know and we also didnt know if this would be an issue. The problem is with gamesurge limiting the amount of IP's - im sure if it was written somewhere I looked, I would have dealt with this. DMUK

The chat was tested. Weve been in there all week. But this is something no one has experienced before. Next time it wont happen DMUK

Firstly I would like to apologise to everyone who attended todays (Oct 27th) live chat with Petroglyph. Due to an unforeseen connection issue it has been decided to move the chat to a new date - Monday 7 November @ 7pm GMT (11am PST). The decision wasnt taken likely but we had some major problems that couldnt be resolved within a few minutes. Secondly, I would like to thank everyone who came along, it was a great turn out. DMUK info @ http://www.empireatwar.net/chat

Basically, the problem was unforeseen. We did everything we can to host the chat, however - it seems Gamesurge have limits to connections from a single IP address. Normally, its an instant ban, which we got lifted straight away but they kept getting booted. However, steps have been taken to ensure that this wont happen again. DMUK

It's now almost 4.30pm GMT - leaving just 2hrs 30 mins until the live chat starts with Petroglyph. Visit http://www.empireatwar.net/chat for details DMUK

EmpireAtWar.net are pleased to announce a Live Development Team Chat with Petroglyph. The chat will take place on Friday 28th October at 7pm GMT, 2pm EST, 11am PST with the following Petroglyph team members: Chuck Kroegel, General Manager (Producer) Joe Bostic, Lead Designer (Visionary) Mike Legg, President (Lead Programmer) Chris Rubyor, Designer (Multiplayer) Adam Isgreen, SR Designer (Campaigns) All will be on hand to answer your questions about the forthcoming release Star Wars: Empire At War. Please visit www.empireatwar.net/chat, where you will be able to access the chat room using Gamesurge and where you will be able to find full details of the IRC ports and locations two days before the chat goes live.

The reason why the A-Wings etc are probably in the screenshots, is just to showcase some of the ships to the media and fans. For example, they placed a Rancor on Tatooine, just to show its use in the game. I would imagine the time line would have the A-Wing as a late developement unit DMUK

You guys will get the chance to ask about the SSD at the upcoming live chat on October 28th DMUK

Who from Petroglyph. I thought Chewie had 2.8 million hairs?

Sure! How many hairs has Chewbacca got? DMUK
