This actually leads to a question I've been pondering. If the enemy retreats can you follow them into hyperspace and then finish them off? Or does their damage automatically repair once they leave the battle? I know we don't have this information yet, but it's something else to think about.

I think its interesting that Desparye isn't in the game sense most EU sources have the DS being built in orbit of the planet by the prisoner slave labor.

Oh now that's just cruel. Although hi-larious.

Yeah, it's gotta be. I read the story for 7 and it was as if a 2nd grader had written it.

According to starwars.wikicities.com, the A-wing went into production shortly before the Battle of Yavin. It even claims that 2 A-wings actually participated in the attack on the Death Star I. Dunno about the validity of the last part, but based on the production history of the figher it makes perfect sense that we'd see it before and around the time of Yavin.

Anyone familiar with supershadow.com? Is this site legit? Plot scripts for Episodes 7, 8 and 9? There's also tons of interiew material of GL himself. I don't mean to be a doubter, but it seems rather fishy to me. Anyone got any info on this?

From the Wikipedia: "One notable feature of the Victory-class is that it is one of the largest ships capable of operating effectively in the atmosphere of a planet. This gives it an advantage over its larger cousins in planetary assault scenarios, where it can be used to provide close-support for ground forces, and to intimidate the enemy. This advantage did not prevent it from being phased out and replaced by new classes as the main warship of the Empire, but it did ensure that the Victory was often assigned to invasion or policing fleets to make use of this ability." It's a shame we can't use the ship this way in the game.

Well you can't possibly expect to win a war if you're always on the defensive. You have to attack eventually. It's the only way to defeat the enemy.

Working under the assumption that some planets aren't going to be controlled by either faction at the outset of the game, I would try to quickly build enough ships and ground equipment to conquer some planets that will immediately give me an advantage (ie faster build times, more money faster, new tech, etc).

That would be, 12:30 Mountain, 1:30pm Central, 2:30pm Eastern

It does make sense in the context of the timeline that we wouldn't see Yoda. HOWEVER, if Dagobah is a confirmed planet then wtf mate?

I'm ready for huge Star Destroyer and Mon Cal slug-fests! OK, well really any Star Wars capitol ship engagment.

Remember that there's a lot of scaling involved in the game meaning that you can zoom really close in and out. Also, in a lot of the screens it's rather hard to tell exactly how close the DS is to other ships. It may look close, but there it is a 3D environment, so it could be really far away. Of course there's also the fact that we don't want the whole screen taken up be planets and the Death Star. Some scale has to be sacificed due to the fact that its a game.

OK thanks and I'm also sorry for starting a new thread in this. I didn't see that there was already on this in The Bar.

OK, so I know this is in the FAQ section of the boars, but I can't get a pictrei to show up in my signature. How do I do this? When I put the tags around the link it just says "link" in my signature.

A cantina could also be a good place to look for spies to help your side. Or maybe hire a bounty hunter.

I think theyre going for good framerates over excessive detail.

I think there's other threads that address the DS in great detail, but there are still a lot of questions that picture doesn't answer. Just a few are can it fight capital ships with turbolaser fire? Can it carry troops and equipment? One bit of information the new preview on Gamespot gives is that the DS moves really, really slow. I think its still early to judge too harshly, but the DS is looking like a big liability to the Imperial player.

OK, I can't remember if I read something about hyperspace travel somewhere on the boards here, but has anything been released on how hyperspace travel works? Meaning can you only travel from one planet to the next adjacent planet (like checkers, I guess) or would you be able to jump farther to allow for things like hit & fade attacks inside enemy territory?

So what happens in a campaign if you loose a mission? Do you continue playing with a loss or do you have to complete it to advance? P.S. Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!

Hey everyone. I'm new to the forum so I just want to say hello and I've got a question about the gameplay in EAW. Now I've looked around the threads and haven't seen this discussed, and while the new FAQ touches on this, I wanted to see what you guys had to say about it. In this game I'm hoping for the ability to conquer the galaxy (using either side) making my own choices and not based on a mission system like traditional RTS games. Am I correct in assuming that that's what the scenario option (mentioned in the the FAQ) will let me do? This is the major reason (besides that it's Star Wars) that I want to get this game since lately I've become increasingly tired of linear mission-based games. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Thanks.
