wow Ive got, like, everything cheese has cept metroid. I also have battalion wars (waste of money) and fzero.

HL series is a must, Episode 2 is coming out in summer, along with Team Fortress 2 and Portal. But if we do do anything valve, we should put it all in one subforum like fosh said.

EAW and PO2 should definetly have their own little spaces, each with modding, screenshots, strat and the like subforums. Any other game that the community really wants added should be added, but it should have a big fanbase here at PFF for that to happen. All foc stuff can also be in the EAW section. There should be a general news section with pff news, and individual game news subforums in each game forum.

I said occasionally because a bunch other good games came out at around the same time as foc. Defcon, Dark Messiah, and MTW2 all came out within like a month of foc. Still though, I put in a good amount of time playing foc campaign and mp. Maybe Ill come back for a few mp campaign games when I get done MTW2 and Dark Messiah, those are always fun.

You can build the Venator in some mp skirmish maps with a pirate station.

Try playing Dark Messiah...without the patch that came a month after release. The reason you couldnt launch fighters was because of a certain kind of corruption at the place you were fighting, I think it is bribery.

I love how the defenders can pwn as a fighter and a bomber, those things are so usefull as a backup. You just bring them in where there are no vettes, and goodbye enemy cap ships. The vipers are WAY overpowered. 5 or so squadrens can strip an isds sheilds and start pounding its hardpoints, and the buzz droids kill vettes easy if you arent looking and forget to keep them moving. Skiprays are really weak, the only thing cheap about them is that the high lvl consortium station spawns way too many.

Yeah, thats his ship.

It looks like petro has really listened to our suggestions/complaints. The space maps, at least those in the ign videos, are huge compared to what we had before. Even if its only in campaign, its still awesome. Does anyone remember that base placement thread? Its in foc! ;D You can place your buildings (and maybe units too) where you want them. Some screenies are at gamespot

S'all well and good, only one thing to say: Dont judge the game on the sp portion only, the campaign is the only good part. In sp GC the AI spams tartans/vetts and nothing else. No, what you need to do is get in the mp. Thats where the fun begins.

I dont recall anything about him being confirmed, but if he is here they could always use book descriptions for the icon.

You will need your res up to the highest your monitor can handle. And to do that, you need a pretty good comp (mine cant :'(). Anyway, what Hadoken said is right. Just because you put max sets on doesnt mean that your comp can handle it.

What do you mean by that? I think that corellian corvettes have regular lasers (antistarfighter) and a couple turbolasers for bigger things. Edit: Hmm, that may be wrong. Just checked teh databank and it only says "turbolaser cannons". Coulda sworn I read about lasers in EU...

http://pff.swrebellion.com/index.php?topic=3043.0 Go there for the specifics on how the auto resolve works. As you can see, from how the system calculates it, you should never auto unless you have so many units that you dont care.

What about the 43 planet galactic conquest? I haven't played it, but from the looks of it both sides will probably be more even. They at least have the same amount of starting credits. About the map editor, don't get your hopes up. I don't think that a galactic editor will be included, you would have to mod or dl mods to change the galactic maps. I may be wrong, but we haven't heard anything about a galactic editor.

Yeah, if you dont use obi wan's force powers you are a goner. However, using the powers does not guarentee victory. It is a random thing. My friends and I were playing a land skirmish and after a while we got board with the stalemate so we just sent obi wan against vader. The results varied every time. Most of the time obi lost... :'(

Very good news about the update delphi, that is pretty much all I wanted, connectivity issue fixes and 43 planet galactic conquest. (balance would be nice as well but that would take a bit longer) Thats just it, most of the bugs you are hearing about are mp. Its where bugs happen in most games. ;D

I dont really know about such things, but if the problem persists after you have tried everything to fix it, just reinstall it. That might solve your problem.

Yes the fleet commander thing is a problem and I am glad a fix is coming, but what you said isnt a bug. I dont know about the emperor or a commander, but I had Tarkin on-board the death star just the other day playing a campaign with ven. And guess what? He blew it up! :'( It might be a prob w/emperor or commanders, but tarkin doesnt prevent the ds from dieing.

Yeah I agree. I remember hearing something about how you could upgrade the shields of your ships to stop energy and particles. Strange though that moving through asteroids decreases shield strength, implying that particle shields exist. About the upgrade thing, we heard about it a while before it came out, months even, so it was probably just another idea that got axed. How can you say that? THink about the Imperial Lander Shuttle. Its the thing that lands atsts, stormies, maulers, aa, speeder bikes, and small stuff like that. Thing is, however, is that it is an extremely powerfull ship. It has strong shields, lasers, blasters, anti personell guns, concussion missiles, and god knows what else. If they followed that to cannon, these things would be a huge asset to the imps in the space map. It has heavy lasers. ;D

If it sends your strongest ship, that probably wont be a TIE scout. Yeah though, this would be easily exploitable and would eliminate the "choke point" factor to some maps, I.E. Bespin (huge nebula as the attacker comes in, you could just bypass this altogether).

Yeah, thanks lots Nevets. I just got stumped over the "Lucas" part in their names. Dont worry guys, Petro would never lie to us....would they? :'(

Alright ven, you are going down. ;D You and I both know that in the current state of this game, those units having those features would unbalance it even more than it already is. Lets take an example, the imperial lander shuttle. This thing is heavily armed and is not a slow, lumbering thing. If it had the stats that sw cannon gives it, you could just build tons of stormies and have tons of these shuttles to decimate your enemy in space. Yes, that would be nice if they could somehow implement these features, but we both know that would never work. Maybe that is because mon mothma is useless. But I agree with you, she should at least have her own unit that walks around and with tarkin too (but couldn't do anything but fire a weak blaster). Yeah that happened to us, but we tried it again and it was good. Just another bug/crash that needs fixing. Honestly, you have never killed an AT-AT with a tow cable attack. The thing has to be moving while you are roping it or it wont fall. Now, the real bug about this is that if an atat stops and the cable attack fails, the atat cannot move. This has happened to me many times. Just to demonstrate my superior sw knowledge, it's lasers. ;D

Yeah you can, in the video it showed the guy playing customizing that plane thingy. It looked kindof like in the begining where he put that spike thing on the microbe, put on different parts for different uses.

I was just posting, I pressed the preview button to see if it looked right, and all of a sudden the text/font of this site changes! I dont know if its just with me or the site changed, but all the text is smaller and I cant even read the quotes. What happened??
