I'm joining from Florida and no ghostly you are not missing any patch. Probably was just my internet screwing up. Hopefully it I will be able to join next time.

I tried joining your server ghostly but it wouldn't let me in. After I put in the pass it would just stay on joining session for like forever.

You are mixing this with space.Space has a pop cap of 20 but each unit takes up a different amount of it. On land the pop cap is different. Instead of having each unit take up a different amount of "population" you can only have 10 units.See the difference?Oh and I forgot to mention that some structures can make units that do not count against the 10 unit limit. I believe barracks is one that makes infantry that doesnt count against it(not 100% sure)

Actually you are wrong about the pop cap. It has been said the defender can have 10 units. What does that mean?It means that if you wanted you could have 10 artillary pieces. Only in space do units take up different amounts of the pop. cap. Oh and you completely forgot about structures. Like for example the turbolaser tower or Magnapulse cannon. Not to mention you can use bombers to target a hero. But then again Im not saying your completely wrong or Im but that signs point to that heroes won't be that game breaking. *If Im wrong about the way the land pop. cap. is set up someone please correct me w/info*

What I can't understand is how people are judging a game without even playing the demo.It really boggles my mind. But anyway you a tad wrong Delphi unless it has been changed. It won't be 20 units per side since not all units take up the same amount in the pop. cap. So Im guessing people are crying oer it because the battles might be small. Oh and Delphi can you please confirm if the Venator is in or out of the game because it really is causing a large arguement on some forums(like LEC forums)

Since you can constantly bring reinforcements as your ships are destroyed the battles will not be really that restricted. Although I suppose one could argue that they would be small.

Remember that each planet has 3 fleet slots to fill. My guess is that you call in reinforcements from your other slots to aid you in battle.

Iyou want to see complaints I advise you go to the LEC SWBF2 boards.My complaints: 1. Bigger space battles(more capital ships,frigates,etc) 2. Patches to fix all the Mos Eisley bugs 3. Make heroes slightly more powerful and actually take skill to use 4. Engineers need a nerf 5. Bigger maps 6. Melee unit 7. Include squad system(similiar to Republic commando) 8. Bring back air units to maps 9. Fuse old Geonosis and new Geonosis 10. Ability to board frigates/corvettes 11. Capitol ships should actually move 12. Stop using Gamespy for online I really enjoy SWBf2 I play it almost everyday but it has a rushed/lazy feeling to it. I mean they had a whole year and the things they added I doubt would take a year. Possibly a few months but not a year.

Also check out the screens there are 5 new ones there

http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3146583 [EDIT SIDDUS] : There are 10 new screenshots with this preview, including Boba Fett , Jedi and beautiful ships We uploaded the gallery with pictures coming from 1up on EAW-FR so you can view the news screenshots in a easier way there : http://www.eaw-fr.com/index.php?p=galerie&cat_id=13#texte *Title edited to be more explicit

Ok I just noticed something that shows some evidence of the popcap effect on fleets. If you look at the recent screens shots from Powerplay and look at the one with the space station + Imp Officer hologram above him is a blue box(may have to enlarge pic) that shows the pop at 12/20 then if you look at the bottom to where it shows all your units. the only units shown are 3 Squads of TIE bombers 1 ISD and 3 Tarton Patrol Crusiers(sp?) I don't know about anyone else but that kinda seems small IMO. Link: http://www.pcpowerplay.de/artikel/artikelunterseite_6787.html

Update - On the LEC forums in the Xbox details annoucement that news will be soon released about the expansion for the other consoles.

Blond jokes: A blind man walks into a bar and goes to the bartender. He asks "Want to hear a blond joke?" The Bartender replies"No, because Im blond and there are 2 250 pound blond guys sitting behind you" "Do you still want to say your joke" The blind man says"Heck no I don't want to repeat it 3 times" A blond wife one day decides to prove to her husband that blonds are not stupid so she decides to paint the house. The husband returns from work and sees his wife look like she is dressed for winter.He asks"Honey why are you wearing all those coats?".The wife replies "On the paint can it said best results with 2 coats" How do you keep a blond busy?Put them into a circular room and tell them to pick a corner

Meh i've already gotten over it. Complaining is not going to fix the problem just make it worse if it forces the dev's and such to rush to release it for everyone else. I suspect they let out xbox because A)Make some quick cash B)Beta test it on the Xbox players first C)Xbox was left out of the updates on SWB1 so this may be a way to make up with them. Hopefully all the new additions will be downloadable soon.

If you havn't noticed Omega I already made a topic on this.....

Here are my questions: How is a planet actually acquired?Is it after you destroy all enemy units or do you have to maintain control for a certain amount of time? Where are ground bases built?Is it a pretermined area or does a player choose where the base is started? Many players believe that the population cap is too low.What do you have to say about this?Do you mind providing an example of how the population cap works(i.e. Stardestroyer takes up x points out of total 20) Any news on the demo?Is it even completed?

They should but they won't.All LA cares about is making money. Right now people are raging on the LEC forums. So far it has been held back by the admins but it is only a matter of time before a spam/complaint war starts.Most likely the content will be xbox only however I hope I am greatly mistaken.

Well it looks like all Xbox Live users will receive downloadable content this week and the ability to buy a small expansion for $4.99 through Xbox Live. The bad part so far is that no news about PC download or PS2 has been anounced. This free content includes 2 new heroes, and the ability to play assault mode on Kasyyhk. The $4.99 Brings back old favorite maps such as Bespin and Rhen Var. So far im angry at the fact that PC has been completely ignored since that is the version I have. Hopefully they release the content to PC gamers quickly.

Im behind having a pop. cap. but just one that is higher. If the pop.cap is too low it is only a matter or time before everyone uses the same fleet formations because it is the most effective.

I voted balance because I hate when a game is unbalanced and everyone just sticks to the better side. Although I do hate lazy balancing(i.e. Empire has AT-AT so a dev makes a similiar vehicle for rebels)

Another question on some peoples mind is why was the game pushed back even more.

BTW is it me or the more info that is released the worse EaW looks? What I want to know is what can they possibly do with two extra weeks? Most likely a LEC plot to further cut the game content down.

Well here goes the question I want answered: How will you prevent players from forming "perfect defense" or "perfect invasion" armies that will force people online to use them to even have a chance against others.(i.e. One person discovers a high effective fleet formation for invasion so then everyone else will use it) If this is cofusing them someone please reword it although I think everyone knows what I mean.

EJM your speaking of the total pop.cap. of the game. There can only be 20 units in one space battle. What this means is even if you have lets say 2/3 of all the planets you can only bring in up to 20 units into any space battle. At least this is how I am interpriting it since it just mentioned space battles and that the pop. cannot be increased.
