6. Bases- I actually like how this works; however, I would like to be able to zoom onto the planet map when in Galactic mode in order to place my garrisons and my turrets and walls where I want them. While I understand this would be a gameplay problem for Multiplayer, many of us are buying EAW for the singleplayer experience. Therefore, why not allow the player to choose from three or four base configurations "choose from a digram" after they take control of a planet? Minor issues that could be addressed: Renaming ships in game. A Hardcore or Realistic Setting option in the option menu which would allow: 1. Slower Build times and Space Travel 2. Killable Heroes 3. Persistant Damage 4. Chance of Mission Failure 5. Cost to resupply units who freespawn other units. By making it an option setting, both casual RTS fans and those of us who prefer games with more depth are happy Grin *** i totaly agree with this, you should be able to defend your base how you want it, if you got the map of tatooine for example you got in total 3 entrances 2 att he botom split in 2 by a rockformation and the op by a mor smaller entrance, you should be able to place turrets there to inprove defending. This should also encourage the attacker to choose his forces more carefully, because the defender is a much stronger doing his thing it realy sucks you cant choose where to place your defending turrets. maybe you can use the standard maps, and edit them, so you can use the build pads to reach the sam thing?
