IF YOU DECIDE TO RUN. Imperials usually have interdictors so you would have to take that out first. Use your fast support ships and bombers to take out the interdictor(try flanking manuver). Use your main capital ships to engage the Imperial capital ships. This should keep them off of your attacking force. When the interdictor goes down, immediatly start your withdrawl. A good tactic to use is the fighting withdrawl. Try to inflict as much damage that you can. Expect some losses that interdictor is going to cost you.

I agree with the fighters taking out the fighters first, thats why their there. Use your ties to protect your bombers they are the most vulnerable. I would concentrate on getting those shields down with the bombers. Then use both Bomber and capital ships to take out the guns on the Mon Cal. If it doesn't have weapons than its not a threat. I wouldn't even worry about the engines. If your are using an Interdictor its not going any where. Then move onto your next target that threatens you the most. Then it will be a mop up operation. I intend on using a lot of escorts for my SD's for protection. Fighter screens work well too.

My old lady hates Star Wars so I don't have to worry about her coming in here. If she wants to piss me off she calls me a "Trekky". She say's thier both the same! WHHHAAAAT. She's thinks it is not realistic, this is coming from a woman that has every season of OC. Anyways take it from my experience your job should be something you love to do. Don't get stuck in a job you hate. You guys are all young and you will be sucessfull. Or just find a gal with a big trust fund!

I don't think you guys are old enough but I grew up playing Colleco and Atari and I mean OLD SCHOOL atari. Defender, Crack Pots, Galactica(still an awsome game). PONG rules beep beep beep. Atari used Joy sticks that were so stiff you could only play 1/2 an hour or you would get a sprained wrist and you had to load cartrages. Blowing into them for some reason all ways made them work. I still have it too.

Back in 1990 a box set came out for ep 4 5 6. It was VHS in wide screen, I bought it because of the box. Its light blue with a hologram on the front. It came with the original Making of Star Wars. Its got some pretty cool stuff on it. There were scenes in it that didn't even make the redone ep 4,5,6. To bad I don't have a VCR. Do they still make em?? LOL

Everybody is intitled to thier opinion. No body is forcing you to agree.

Impressive... most impressive excellent jod sparky. In another topic Delpi said Mon Montha was also in. I have not seen any pics yet.

Thats what I use my mouse for.......thank god for wireless

EAW is more like Rebellion on MDMA

Oh Boy...sounds like theres's going to be a few objectives to take or hold. Not just straight out and conqure.

In one of the demos I think the guy said that the transports were susceptable to ground fire and could be destroyed. It kinda makes sense aslong as the enemy has enough fire power to take out a transport. If its just a squad of troops it be nice to land the transport on them. On their position that is.

I agree with you Teradyn on that one. People have to realize that Devs can't always follow true Star Wars lore. If they did there will be to much management for the player. The game would be huge and take too long to develope. Like my boss always say's Keep it Simple Stupid. There is alot of people that do know alot about Star Wars in here, but should realize that its just a game. Don't get your hopes up. This will be a great game when its released. Even if it doesn't have what you expect.

I thought I read something similar too. Your were able to customize the hard points on your ships. Swapping turbo lasers with Ion cannons, shielding etc. The more you research your tech it automatically upgrades your existing tech. Is this not true?

You still get my point though......I hope

I haven't been in the forum for a little while, so I haven't been able to read all the posts YET. But the posts that I have seen have been pretty negative. Everybody is disapointed that EAW isn't including EU or SSD B wings etc. My point is so what? I think having a SSD in battle would be to hard to manage anyways. I would rather have 10 Imperial II class SD than 1 SSD. SSD are slow, in battle speed and manuvability is the key. Can any of you tell me of a game that even comes close to depth of play this game has? I can't think of any. I 've read post's that Petro should have done this and that. I am pretty sure the folks at Petro have been in this for a long time. They have my full confidence that this game will be awsome. You also have alot of mods coming out that will feed your hunger for the stuff you wish the game had. There is also room for expansions too. Iam also glad the game date has been pushed back till Feb. This just means that they are working out the bugs and fine tuning. I don't want a game that needs 20 patches like windows. I do realize that there is alot of disapointment but I am sure that when EAW is released the wait was well worth it. Thanks Petro

I think that guy beat that bush to death. Didn't really answer any good questions. Guess we'll have to wait.

This all seems to intresting teams of Empire vs Rebel I look forward too it. I predict a mighty and long battle a head. Who wil survive?

It all comes down to your battle in space right? The first battle for a planet is the battle for orbit control correct? So I if I was to face a force superior to mine I would take out the capital ships that would inflict the most damage eg; Mon cal , SD etc. If you take out the ships that can bombard you from space you don't give then that option. It takes more then just one or two or three capital ships to bombard a planet. In another point if you do take out capital ships it lowers your enemys ground forces because these ships carry the most forces. Sometimes you must take it to the ground. Ground assult is the key you can't take a planet without it.

Attacking Corusant would be suicide for an first attack. IF the rebels could take Corusant thier forces would be so depleated they could not take an counter attack. Face it Corusant would be at least the last planet to be attacked. It would cost you too much to take at first. Eat away at their resources untill their too weak to defend theirselfs then attack. Take out stratigic planets that will hurt them the most.

I am a robotics technician I've been doing this for 10 yrs. My girlfriend ( soon to be wife just hasn't pop the question) is very well off. Soon to be mooching off her. HA HA I'll be playing SWEAW all day long drinking beer. Just don't tell her that. LOL

Marcus thanks I checked it out and it did help. I didn't even think about going there. Thanks for the info. Peace.

Shield Generator Shield generators produce the power needed to create and maintain deflector shields, then focus those shields around a given object, be it ship building, or even parts of an entire planet. Deflector Shield A deflector shield is one of two types of force field that repulses solid objects or absorbs energy, thus offering protection to everything under the shield. Ray shielding defends against energy such as radiation and blaster bolts; partical shielding prevents matter from penetrating the field. The shield generator was located at Echo station where the battle of Hoth took place. When Gen. Veers destroyed the then generator, Vader landed his troops at Echo base. Tacticallyyou wouldn't want your assult force traversing hostile ground. Any ways what we have seen in the video's was only a demo. Their intent was to show us that you were capable of producing shield generators and destroying them. Having the shield gen. out side the shield was just to show the mechanics of the game. If I were to build a shield gen. I would build more than just one depending on the importance of that planet.

Sounds great can't wait till October. Its gonna be a long month.

Yaaaawwnnn.......huh....wha.....you bore me GAT 889. Just because you don't like something don't knock other people that do like it.

I'll Fed Ex over night a copy for you Fosh. I would want to see a grown man cry. That is just sad LOL
