It definitely was a good demo, and got me really excited for the game. The demo was short though, but at least they released a demo.

I think that Foc will definetly be worth getting. Sure, it isn't the greatest game, and it has its flaws, but I have fun playing it, and that's all I really want in a game. It looks like they're adding lots of cool features and stuff, so I think it's worth it.

I haven't done any modding with the game yet. I don't think that it is because of an update either because I had saved the game March 23ish and the last time I updated was patch 1.3

Sometimes when I load a saved game, the game freezes trying to get to it, and once I get back to the desktop using Ctrl+Alt+Delete, there is something that says there was an exception in a file and for more information go to logfile.txt and exception.txt. Has anyone had the same problem and does anyone know how to fix it? I hardly know anything about exceptions and stuff, so any help would be gladly appreciated.

Just think of it like a ship malfunctioned or got lost in hyperspace. ;D

I think that on the loading map you should just select what units you want to hyperspace in the battle. Once your done, the battle starts and those ships hyperspace in. This way you can't bypass stuff on the map, but you still get to pick your ships.

When you fire at the rebel speeders that haven't taken off yet, the accuracy is the same as if the speeder was flying around.

I'd give it a 4.9, but since that isn't an option, I'll round it to 5! ;D

I think formations would be very useful in EaW. It would definetly keep a lot of units more organized in some places.

The Wuddship beats all!!!

I think that the hit and run with lots of capital ships to get them repaired won't work very well. I found that when I retreated, my ships would take serious damage before getting out, and that a retreat can be very costly in the middle of a battle. So the only way to ensure that you don't lose any of your capital ships is to make sure that none of them get seriously hurt. But this wouldn't give you much time to accomplish much in the battle anyway. And while your retreating for a long 10 seconds, the defender could easily concentrate all of his fire on a capital ship and destroy it. We also need to consider the population cap. I don't think that it will allow you to have enough ships to go hang out in the corner while other ships are fighting. The only ships that could get to the corner anyway would be the smaller, faster, and weaker ships. The capital ships move pretty slowly enough that it would take serious damage while trying to run away. And you can't retreat only a couple units at a time. I do want repair in the game, I just don't think that it will be a major flaw to not have it in the game.

Is there a button that would allow you to destroy one of your units right away, kinda of like the delete button in Age of Empires?

But the Ai will be able to retreat. It will probably be able to realize that fighting a battle with a transport isn't a good idea.

I believe that someone said that a developer said that we can choose our starting units in the real game. But we should probably look it up to be sure.

I definetly agree with Ghostly_Substance. The demo rocked and didn't show everything this game can do. I can't wait to play with lots of different planets and stuff.
