Now, why can't they make a game like this about Dune?

@mongoose
I know exactly what you mean! I want this game to rock but I cant help shaking the feeling that its gonna suck.

And the scale thing does look messed up, especially with the fighters!

I didnt know about the moral or exp, that makes it even worse!!! Even Force Commander had exp!! Lucasarts needs to sort their ideas out big time! Building fleets of star destroyers is one of my favourite things ever but I need more!

Curse my addiction to the wars!!

Havent seen as Super star destoryers or bigger in any screens yet, they had better be in there or ther will be no cash from me!

Those space screenies do look sweet though!

Sadly, It seems like we might need to wait awhile before we get the ulitmate Star Wars "Nerdvana"

The no exp thing is a problem and is going to hurt the feel. A big part of strategy games is getting attahced to certain armies, and it adds some life into the game.

And it looks like you won't be buying it. No SSD

To be fair, it was out of the time line. EAW is set after EP3, so no SSD. i don't understand why they couldn't let you build one though. They DID have alot of EP3 content, liek the pod walker, etc.

All in all, it's not looking very promising.

SSDs aren't entirely out of place here... Just because we don't see one on ANH doesn't mean there isn't one. Remember the comment only 4 years later when they land at Endor "There are a lot of Commandships (i.e. SSDs)". To me it is obvious there are already a few SSDs prior to ANH, but hey are attached to the reactionsgroup or battlefleet, while the Devastator that intercepts the Tantive IV is merely a local ISD that is in the right place to capture it.

Anyway, those spacebattles sure do look sweet. Form line... Cross the enemy T... BLAST AWAY!!! Say goodbye Mon Calamari Cruisers.

But is it just me or does it seem that you build the troops and ships out of tactical mode? Sort of TW style.
And does Vader look bad or what? "It's Darth Vader, run away"

Yes, there will be a campaign mode, and it will have 1VS1 MP

That alone might make it worth buying, very few games have MP Campaign + tactical combat gameplay.

I wonder if they wil allow you to build anything larger then a SD, but not a SSD.

The space battles do look nice, and maybe more complex then the land combat.

Also from what I've read the game should be very mod friendly, so that additional content can be quite easily added.

*uses the force*

There is nothing to resist. You fullheartedly want this game. You will buy it even if overprised.
