Hmm that is strange. Why wasn't this put in the initial game. It seems pretty standard and logical. ???

Wow, so Darth Noob is 9.....that explains a lot.

I differ, I think they made towards the multiplayer crowd. The automatic base building seems to have been made to make it easier and quicker, so in multiplayer things wont get too complicated and draw out games to long. If they were gearing it towards singleplayer they would have added diplomacy and other depth creating features. Instead they kind of went simple and to the point so it would be easier to play online.

Seems like a fair score. Any of us will admit that the game isn't perfect, and we haven't even played it. I imagine once we do we will notice some more flaws. It should still be a really fun game and that seems to be what the reviews are saying, but it is lacking in some departments that would of made it a great game. I expect most reviews to be from 75-85%.

Think he is due for a day ban. I have warned him. Megajames says Ghostly warned him. He keeps putting stupid polls in all his posts. I don't think english is his first language but he is showing no signs of trying to improve himself. I think a day ban will get the point across to stop being dumb, if he is just trying to joke with us and keeps on doing it after I say he gets an IP ban.

Warned Darth Noob. Not using spellcheck. Posting polls in every thread with no options.

No y-wings?

Steller as well.

Teradyn is probably right most the team is probably working on P-02. But they have said they are going to be dedicated to EAW after launch. Also it looks like they already have an expansion somewhere in developement. So not sure how this will work out, looks like they will be focusing on P-02 with atleast some continuing work on EAW.

I still don't have a nice fancy name color.

Don't mean to sound greedy, I am glad whenever a petro dev comes and visits even tho they don't have to, but with the game going gold a week or so ago I thought they would come by and pop their heads in a little more since they pretty much finished their products. Only thing I can think of is that they are working on some patches to fix some things, so when the game launches we wont have to wait to long for them. In this case you guys can stay away fro as long as possible

I agree, modding is great for gaming and a great selling point, but then all the modders can put all the new units and maps a player would want in an expansion. Petro will need to put new gameplay mechanics in that modders just can't do to make it worth getting.

Nah, I say leave umm. Too much of a waste of time for something that will happen so rarely and hey, maybe sometime it will be something that will actually revive a debate.

Thats the problem. The rebel's would not have the resources to occupy an entire planet, they would hardly have the resources to control a continent of a planet. They depend on most the population being on their side since they dont have the means to force it.

Yea I am sure the empire used a lot of diplomacy, but they wouldn't have been a necessity like it was for the rebellion. The rebellion needed it, they didn't have the man power, technology and money that allowed the empire to rule through fear. They needed to resort to bringing planets under their control through words rather than occupation. Especially in the early stages of it that this game is suppose to represent. It was such a big part of the rebellion, it sucks that you wont get the true rebel experience from the initial game, I still hope that they see there is a lot of demand for it and they will put it in.

lol, it is right, dark side energies is what it should be. as "I will never turn to the darkside"

Eh, I'm impartial about the whole thing. Not the best poster. Doesn't seem too bright. Prone to flaming. So whatever you want to do.

I think EAW is too much action, that is all it is. There is no down time, all click-fight-click-fight. This will get old fast. I want to be doing other things that would immerse me into truly believing I am controlling a galactic-wide government/Rebellion. I want to be training luke to jedi master. I want to be running diplomacy missions and maybe the occasional sabotage mission. Who says the empire has to depend on diplomacy? The two sides don't have to be exactly the same, infact the shouldn't. The Rebel's should be encouraged to use diplomacy by having a better chance of being sucessful. Where as the empire could use something more up their alley such as propaganda. Would work similar to a diplomat, but much truer to imperial canon.

Perhaps we should also sticky the important threads, such as the ones delphi posted in.

I didn't much care for the sims, but it was still a revolutionary game. It was the first of its kind and opened the door for a lot of new audiences that usually don't play video games such as women. It didn't take to much skill to play, but it made up for it in fun. You had plenty of choices, lots of immersion, and lot of personalization, things this game lacks. Mid 8 was pretty much where I put EAW myself. It will be fun to play, definitely get my star wars game, but its just missing the important components that would make it a great game (see wish list). It wil be the mods that will put this game over the top.

Sorry for the double post, but do you know what else would be interesting? Almost total destructable environments. Especially on the city planets and ones with a lot of wildlife. Would love to fire some rockets at some of those tall buildings and watch them crumble. Sure it would be nice eye candy, but could also have some big diplomatic consequences. If you are defending the planet and you accidentally destroy some stuff the population can start to lose favor. If you are attacking and destroy stuff this could negatively affect you, but it would also negatively affect the defender who is not doing a good job of defending. Also if you kill harmless creatures it would negatively affect you, if you kill dangerous one, it would positively affect you.

Maybe they are right, they have played the game, and as many of us have said, the game is made for the casual gamer and there is quite a few things we felt should have been in have been left out. I am getting the game for the star wars experience and not the RTS experience.

So what are the 5 new maps for the collectors edition?

I don't think it is the quality of the posters that has changed. It is that we have already discussed everything. There isn't going to be any new information to discuss till after the game comes out and then it is going to be about how we would like to change the game for patches/expansions. This has already started, but expect more. The reasons it seems the quality of posters has changed is because the quality posters have no quality topics to talk about, the not quality posters will post about anything and that is why we see them more. So once some more quality information comes out so will the posters. We just need to wait, nothing we can do will change this.

Exactly, as it is now you can send your ship back into battle right away, no down time. The ships should have to sit out for awhile to be repaired.
