I will have to try it. I seemed to be doing very well usuing a x/y wing combo with an a wing squad or 2 and just a couple neb frigs. Corvettes seemed to be too much money for the equivelent numbers of fighters but i didn't know about the whole 1/2 strength = loss rule. It seems when i use corvette class ships on enemy fighters they do good but not as good as i expect from an anti fighter ship. However when the enemy uses them its seems like they take out huge numbers of squadrons in seconds. Maybe its just me but i didn't like spending 1000 on a gunship when i could get 4 xwing squads

I pretty much agree with most ideas but i don't mind the sort of linear maps. The fact that buildings and planetary weapons are always put in a certain spot and certain pathways are always used etc. It always bothered me in other rts like starcraft how you pretty much had to defend on all fronts and it got annoying. They computer seems to always attack where you didn't have units so even if you had a larger force you could lose buildings and such. I really like how empire uses the terran to limit you because then certain choke points are developed. Maybe its just because im just a casual RTSer but the fact i only have to worry about certain paths and enterances to attack or defend from eases the burden that was just to complex in other games. Some may say it limits strategy and replayablilty and its kidna true but it also makes sure you get it right.

I did the imperial campain on medium and now im doing the rebel one likewise and i've gotten to a point where i have maybe 2 or 3 more planets than the empire. I want to take all their planets before i moved on to the rescue han mission in case more pop up. I figured if i take bespin and park a fleet there so its never taken i would eventually beat the empire economically. Since bespin gives a thousand and nal hutta can give alot, and with mining facilities on all my other planets, i figured sooner or later their income wouldn't be able to support a military like mine. However I keep looking at the charts and it says they have a couple more planets than me and their income is drastically higher in the 20k range. I was just wondering if during the campain the empire gets credits automatically and do they have other planets that haven't unlocked for me yet?
