1. being able to select what ships come into a space battle before it starts. This would mean that you could pick if you wanted certain heroes to go into battle right away or just use weak ships to gauge the enemies strength before bringing in the heavy-hitters 2. a way to destroy the death star before it destroys the planet. Right now there is no possible way to destroy the imperial fleet before the death star fires. how about a longer timer or if the battle is won by the empire the death start fires. 3. progression of republic to the empire/republic tech slowly advancing/being replaced by empire tech. This would give the game a sense of progression and background such as the premise of the missions from peace-keeping to oppression.
