There will be upgrades, but they are in the more traditional sense (i.e reflective armor, increased stamina, etc).

 

Is this is what is meant in that one interview about:

Joe Bostic : Researching to upgrade your arsenal for forces will be present. There are missions the player may undertake that, if successful, will unlock new technology or units. Ship specific technology upgrades will retrofit older models so that the player isn't left with any obsolete equipment flying around

.

 

Does it mean that if a new unit comes out it automatically updates its predecessors? Or does it mean that only ship upgrades are upgraded on all ships?

 

The later seems more right to me since it says "ship specific technology" and not units are upgrading old units. The consensus here seems that everyone thinks the venators in your fleet would automatically change to the imperial star destroyer when upgraded. I would hope not tho since that goes against realism and I would like a very diverse fleets, not just ones full of ISDs.

 

just think this needs some clearing up.

Well it isn't thursday yet ? I donno

actually, the link is a bit screwed, but most people should be able to figure out that if you remove the comma you get the right page.

The Link works for me.

Woah, say what? I think the chat is actually happening tomorrow, not today.

Ehm yes. Sorry, my Laptop shows me that today is tomorrow. I should stop trusting technology and damn I should stop drinking before Friday....

 

(Hey my last week of the holidays )

Hahaha, yeah, vacation days can get confusing.

 

"What day is it today? Thursday? Crap, it's Sunday! Work tomorrow again! "

Lol. I'm planning on skipping my afternoon chem. lecture. It's really boring and it's all been review so far. EaW is much more important.

Lucky, I got to do a silly "Black like Me" quiz which everybody voted to do on Friday and well if I go then skip I cant just skip. I skipped twice and i'm already getting my rear bitten. Well then hope my question gets answered

 

- How will we be able to host games and will there be ingame chatrooms to properly get people to join games (Look at Battle.net)

 

Others I forgot where they went and what they are.

No Offense Guys but why didn't you post these questions yesterday?? You could have sent off a number of questions to be answered by the Devs before the Chat started.

i ask yesterday 3 questions,hope they will answer them.

Its good to live in germany,the chat begins here at 8PM so i can read and drink a cold beer.

Also for those who can't acces the chat - live - someone should copy/paste the discuttion as it goes here too reply after reply or he could edit his first post.

I will do a copy after every question and post it in a thread. Cain could you open an Interview Forum in the news section?

?

 

Just put the quetions one by one in a post here in the GD forum , no more is needed
