wheres my message gone must be those gremlins,

 

what was i was saying was how does this work is it a random thing and your troops may get killed in the process or can we target specfic areas or buildings?

Edited February 9, 200620 yr by Cain

i really have no clue what your talking about...

 

but if your smart, youll not have the transports along with your attackin fleet... then you command the troops on the ground

You can't attack land from space!(except in bombing runs) End of story.

ohhhhh, i get it, orbital bombardments.... im not sure on that one, i think they should add it though, if its not included

think he was talking about how it's done in rebellion.

i guess he hasnt played the demo

 

when you have y-wings or star destroyers in space, then when on the gound these a button that has a 5 minute cool down that lets you do a bombing run at the targetted area

and it has already a big bug you can let it go over your own units and they wont even be harmed, but your enemy will be terminated

This is not a bug, this is by design.... although I disagree with it for obvious reasons.

sigh, no friendly figher 

what I was on about was attacking ground using capital ships not bombing runs?

Capital ship bombardment is not in EAW.

i wonder why.... thats a awesome way to get rid of tose pesky people who you dont like....

and would just about bypass any land unit with no harm to the capital ships.... this would then be really bad for mp rebel players because imps could just bomb the hell out of every planet before landing and would only need a large space force....and one or two land units for quick take overs

Lol, Anyway, Capital ships can't fly in atmosphere and they can't shoot from space, too far ;p

if I added it... i would at least make it an option before anygame for bombardments...  Taris is a perfect example of it.... even though they werent going to command&conquer the planet

Wrong on both counts, Victory class Star Destroyers can fly in an atmosphere and a Base Delta Zero is the Imperial Navy protocal to use orbital bomardment to turn a planet into to slag.

Of course he can "fly" but what I mean it's that you can't do what you want in atmosphere so it's impossible for it to get involve in a land battle. Then yeah you can process to orbital bombardement but as you said it's "to turn a planet into a slag". It's compltely not for precrise strikes on a unit or a building.

thats the point. lets say your losing. bomb the planet and you can come back with more units and win. orbital bombing would be like a DS but just keep the planet there

Orbital Bombardment was First Protocol for the Subjection or Punishment of A System or Planet it didn't have to be used on the entire Surface, A ISD or SSD could sit in a Low orbit with a Adaquate crew and hit a Town or City with little damage to the Rest of the Planet, i has been used Numerous time in the history of the New Order including against Novistqer and Mon Calamari. The Most Notable use Throughout the Hiustory of the New Republic is Wedge Antillies use of the Tactic during the Battle of Borleias against Yuuzhan Vong, he ordered the SSD Lusankya to turn its guns around the Base he was using to obiterate the Ground Forces sent against them by Czulkang Lah.

and the stuff that happend in kotor not sure 1 or 2 but terras was heavely damaged, there was nothing left of the cities

if I added it... i would at least make it an option before anygame for bombardments...  Taris is a perfect example of it.... even though they werent going to command&conquer the planet

 

does this look familiar dark?

I concur, what did you say before that got deleted?

HAHA you used the word "slag" what are you writing a star wars book? hah im sorry

and would just about bypass any land unit with no harm to the capital ships.... this would then be really bad for mp rebel players because imps could just bomb the hell out of every planet before landing and would only need a large space force....and one or two land units for quick take overs

 

The rebel players could simply build a shield generator to shield them from the bombardment  ;D  A planet without one would be toast, but that would be the players fault.

lmfao shield generator.  ;D theres only so long one of those could hold up
