Or perhaps, lore wise, you had lost the crews and training facilities to train said crews on different ships. So technically you aren't researching how to build said ship, but train crews for it (which is additional research).

I seem to remember in one of the Thrawn trilogy Pellaeon was thinking about the loss of the Executor and how all the best officers and crewman were on it when it exploded (smart idea, eh?), just to give an example.

And nice to see you on the forums again Para.

Well, the Executor was the biggest, most powerful ship the Empire had ever made at that point in time. So, chances are your best are going to be safest there. They learn how to be good little officers, and Vader gets the best officers.

The whole "suicidal A-wing slamming into bridge causing it to spiral out of control into the Death Star II killing everyone" thing rates less likely than a fluke. Its like winning the lottery. Twice in a row. Except make it bad, and double it.

yes indeed but the rebels have only the mon calemari cruisers wich can't beat the Executor perhaps they must think of something to balance that

like you said in te movie the ship was destroyed by a fighter that fly in the bridge so that was a pure lucky event for the rebels

They have the Viscount Star Defender and the Strident Star Defender

Well Spoken Captain Picard lol EmperorParadox hihi.

Personal i like Kirk better, first shoot, ask questions later hehehe

Want to help out?

I quote from Eville Jedi:
"do you have any experience with XSI or the sins file types? I could use some help in importing ships and getting them setup in game"

That's awesome, I am curious to see if he'd be able to release an approximate list, it'd be great to see. The balances will be good - I was just throwing out my own suggestions on how to balance them a bit. Good idea on the research specs, too.

As far as zooming goes... it's not the problem of controlling the ships, it's seeing the whole battle. Jumping around from group to group to see how each manages isn't effective to manage large scale tactics. Being able to see the whole grav well, allows you to see much more and determine the tactics better. Plus, I like using macro much more than micro.

OH - a bug from the over-large grav wells, too - if you don't change the settings for the distances between planets, it's fairly frequent to have overlapping grav wells. This means ships actually travel into the grav well (in the case I remember most, you could go all the way to the other planet) and attack ships in that system. However, to actually enter the system, you went to the end of the first, and jumped backwards to the edge of the other grav well. And then recrossed the same space you just went through. Thought I'd mention this, not sure of how to fix it, except to make sure planets are far apart in random maps.

Whoever said the Rebels didn't have anything to counter a SSD is an idiot...

Ok, so this is probaby my first forum post ever...so bear with me.

First off, EvilleJedi...I'm loving the beta. Granted, there are a few issues with the balancing, but only when comparing the empire's ships to the ships of the other factions, though I'm sure someone has already discussed this ( I've read through the posts...but my memory sucks).

Now, I know I'm going to be harassed for this but...the consortium did have one thing going for them: the fighters. I loved the Viper fighter ever since I first saw it in Shadows of the Empire for the N64 (I'm still hunting for a toy or model verion >.<). I'm not asking for that to be in the game, nor am I trying to back up EaW:FoC. I'm just saying that I loved the fact that they had pu that fighter in the game.

Thgat all out of the way, I have two question for EvilleJedi: would you, could you, release a sort of 'beta 1.5' with one of the other factions as well as the Empire? Also, Will you be including some materials from Sins Plus, like the new planets and/or some of the tech ( ability to colonize gas planets? Cloud City anyone?).

Though I have a feeling some has already touched on these points, my memory sucks and I'm too lazy to double check (I'd probably just forget again, anyway). So if I am just repeating what others have said, I appologize.

Not at the time of Episodes IV, V, and VI. Maybe this person isn't so illiterate in the EU.

When the A-wing crashed into the bridge the executer temporarily lost control. But temp. was enough time for gravity to do its magic. The ssd was lost primarily to emperial arrogance. underestimating rebel snubfighters and navigating too close to the second death star...

Actually it was lost due to the luckiest fluke ever.

looks as a bigger class then the mon calemari cruiser seems good

after the war, the moncal's built their own ships that rivaled the SSD's. (In size and firepower)

are there any plans for a venator or a clone wars mod at all?

that's coming later... but i'm looking forward to it as well.

but there is a venator mesh in the files yet I cant build it.

There is a Venator in-game. Its the Imperator I on the far right.

If there were ships available from points in the Star Wars universe that took place, say, after the first Death Star, or even the second, should the empire really only have TIE fighters? What about the interceptors or other fighters devloped throughout the civil war? The same thing goes with the rebelion: what about the b-wing? Would there be a way to upgrade your fighter/ bomber squadrons to more recent fighter/ bomber models? I'm not trying to make more wrk for you, EvilleJedi and co., I'm just saying that perhaps such things should be considered. Hell, maybe you could even, when making up the rebel fighter squadrons, mix it up: through in some a0wings with those x-wings!Well....if it were possible.

since Ironclad has not fixed the fighter bug on a per ship basis I decided that different ships will get different fighters, for example the MC80 will have xwings and ywings, but the Home one will have bwings and awing,s the MC90 will get ewings and bwings.

...dude...you do realize that you just made me hungrier for that final version, right?

But as to one of my previous questions; are you considering adding some of the elements from Sins Plus?

yay, e-wings!!!! the uber fighter that's almost never mentioned!

So this would mean the rebels would have Star Destroyers also???

I'm sure someone has asked this before but, I am using the Empire faction and can't seem to colonise planets? There doesn't appear to a frigate that can do this as of yet. Is this the whole point?

It's a cruiser.
