Right now modders are basically creating models for their mods using various 3-D modelling software. When EaW comes out they will take these models and change them to a format that will work with the game. I'm not sure exaclty what 3-D modelling software is the best, but I believe Adobe makes one? Im not real sure.

Okay, heres the key to winning EaW if your rebels. Your first target: Endor, use C3-PO to infiltrate the Ewoks and learn just how they can utilize spears and rocks to destroy entire imperial armies. Then you will use this technology to rule the galaxy. Just imagine Mon Cals that hurl giant boulders at oncoming ISD, its BRILLIANT I say!!!

I do like pop. caps because they save you from getting an overloaded computer lol. I hope that they dont limit the buildings that add spaces to your pop. cap, like on AoE you could only make so many houses then boom your done. Im sure they will because then it really wouldnt be a pop. cap.

Umm, how can you do that? Have a fleet waiting at a planet you know one of your enemies fleet is going to, but they dont know you are there. Make sure your fleet has an Interdictor in it, and then when they arrive you get the fun of killing them off one by one as they helplessly try to escape... ahh that was such a good game.

Its always good to have some friendly competetion. lol. So who is going to give us the second Death Star first? Hmm? lol j/k j/k good work Jug! I've loved your mod eversince the TIE Defender, and you just make it better and better!

It seems kinda odd lol, to fight on floating platforms... well maybe it will be limited to a few smaller type units. I mean I can't see AT-ATs fighting on floating platforms lol

Watch now tommorow that bit about the strike cruiser will be erased off starwars.com haha

Well we do know that Obi Wan has the force heal ability, so maybe he can heal other units during battle? Lets just hope the empire has healing tech. also.

Gameplay > Realism. If a pop cap makes it so the game doesnt freeze up every 10 seconds so be it. Im in favor of a pop. cap, it adds challenge to the game. And since Delphi said it will be barely noticable I dont think its that much of a deal.

I know it isnt confirmed yet, but im kinda mad the intercepter isnt in for that matter. I know there is still a chance, but its slim at that.

Hate to push it but do you think you could get a saturday or sunday?

I would also like a weekend, could you try rescheduling Darth Maul?

Im hoping I can make it to the chat, but since Im in the eastern standard time, its takin place at 2:00 PM right smack in my school time. AHHH!!! I get off at 2:20 so ill have to jet back home. If I cant im sure someone will make a transcript right? lol

I think it might already be undercontruction when the game begins. Because in Ep. III we already see the beginings of the DS. I think that it will already be made or being made and cost zip resources. Of course you lose that one, and then you will have to devote resources to make anouther one. Of course they could make it where the DS is cheaper the first time, because of it already being contructed. Therefore any other DS would be more expensive. It will be intereasting to see how this is handled.

Yeah there is no great big internet law. You may be refering to American freedom of speech, but of course this is not a totally american site. The internet is not bound by a set of laws. Though it can be bound by laws laid down in your own country, like china banning certain sites. Of course the overall say of how this site is run, isnt bound by any laws. The site can be run in anyway the Mods or Admins see fit.

My interperation of what Delphi said is that you buy squads for your SD. Say you buy three. You begin the fight and take casualties, you lose 1 squad. Your SD will slowly regenerate the squad. At least that's what I think. Of course, that does sound a bit odd, so i dont think it's right. EDIT: After reading a bit, i think i would agree more with the SD coming with free TIEs. I bet that's what delphi meant.

Also I totally forgot to mention this but I have disscused it with Ismael today. We request Petroglyph to enable the MP player 1 vs 1 option to accept Imperial vs Imperial games or Rebel vs Rebel - how thus this sound ? Yes Im glad that rebels wont be cookie cutted equal. And I definetely want the ability to do Rebel vs. Rebel, and Imperial vs. Imperial. It's just like RA or RA2. Soviets v. soviets, or allies v. allies. I want that feature for sure.

I dont think the Empire wanted to remake the sith, they just happened to be lead by a sith. They just wanted to carry out the new order.

Mine wont play it, thats what has me most worried. I wouldnt worry too much. AoE 3 is very demanding even on the best systems around. Petro seems to be making a big deal about changing graphic levels and stuff so I bet you will be able to play, just maybe at a lower level of graphic power. From what i've seen it doesnt look too demanding.

I have to say I support the New Order. I just love anything imperial, be it TIEs or Star Destroyers. AT-ATs or speeder bikes. Lets face it the empire managed to get the sleek ship designers while the rebels, well they got last years models. lol

Go to tinypic.com and they let you host images for free. They will give you a URL also. But the image only lasts about two or so months.

A main question I have is when will Lucas Arts release more information on the actual game, such as units, buildings, ships, missions, and basic info such as resource managment.

I also hope there isnt a cookie cut balancing system for this game. I think that Petro wont give the rebels an interdictor type unit, because it isnt something that the rebels really had. About the only place I ever heard of the Rebel Alliance having a gravity wheel type unit is in the game Rebellion. Now the New Republic might have, but we need to remember this game takes place way before then. In fact, if the Rebel Alliance even had and interdictor type unit ever made I would guess it would be after Empire Strikes Back. But this game really deals with the formation of the Rebellion, and I doubt at there beginings they had access to much of the more advanced imperial technology.

I went computer shopping, well more like computer looking lol (cant afford anything just yet), and most of the newer modern computers dont have floppy drives anymore! It's really bad with laptops, they mostly just have burners these days. It is kinda sad. lol

I couldnt agree with you more. The classic ships designs rule, and look, in my opinion, better than the prequel designs.
