Empire at War with Battlefront 2. The best of both worlds, strategy and first person shooting.
The global ratio idea sounds like it would work the best. I would like to see accommodations made for the Diplomacy stats to be visible from the command bar along side the original three that have been always there, Empire, Military, and Economy.
I would also love to see a Homeworld mod for Sins, one was tried in the past, but as Ryat and Major Stress said, it didn't get very far.

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="217" id="2981649"]As I'm sure you know, all of those but the TIE Phantom were made to give some variety flown by the player in TIE Fighter. Yet the Defender was the only one to be widely adapted by other Expanded Universe media, including several novels. Heck, there is even a TIE Defender Lego set now.[/quote] I am well aware of that, and that is why I like them all.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="177" id="2981338"]The other issue is that SP only games need more SP content then a game like Call of Duty does, where the SP is basically just a training ground and serves the same function as Elemental's godawful MP: it's there to tick a box saying it exists. Most CoD players really don't care how long the SP is.[/quote] If my PS2 was connected to the internet, I would try online multiplayer, but I usually resort to offline multiplayer with my
Dawn of Victory is handcuffed to no end by the hardcoded AI, and they have resorted to making the mod multiplayer only because of it.
[quote who="Campaigner" reply="170" id="2980989"]I'm surprised that people don't seem to play singleplayer anymore but on second thought, that must be because those games that track gametime are MP games like Call of Duty and StarCraft II.[/quote] I must be one of the few people on the planet that would rather play singleplayer over multiplayer. I usually play offline multiplayer. and I don't generally play games online, which is why Blizzard is scaring me with StarCraft I
The learning curve definitely needs to be reduced in Rebellion, because it has always been high, the tutorials are mediocre at best. The devs have noticed this and have said they will improve the tutorials. I am can deal with a steep learning curve due to by gaming experience and intelligence, but I am probably not your average person.
[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="617" id="2977923"]I feel I should point out that I like Warhammer 40,000 even better than both SW and ST- the flavor of the setting is, IMO, far superior to the galaxy-shattering events of SW and the boundless (and IMO, ridiculous) optimism of Trek.[/quote] Warhammer 40,000 is interesting, though I don't know much about it beyond playing with some Dawn of War demos, but I like what I have seen. I still prefer Star Wars over Warhammer 40,000 though.</
I never said the Federation even had a chance, based on Whiskey's numbers, I see very little hope of a Federation victory. As much as I like the Federation, they just don't have the technology or manpower to fight the Empire.
[quote who="RedneckRapture" reply="577" id="2976655"]Whiskey, in case you hadn't noticed, I used real science when I put out my numbers, and torpedoes from Star Trek beat out Star Wars turbolasers cold. Also, there are so many holes in the numbers given on your stardestroyer.net that it can't help but be thrown out. But even if you DID use the numbers from there, they still don't come close.[/quote] [quote who="Whiskey144" reply="579" id="2976767"]How does 64.3 megatons, o

[quote who="CylonMan" reply="261" id="2976627"]i don't have much faith in cylon's ability to finish the mod because all he does is talk about jolly old england but the rest of us are gonna finish it this year [/quote] I was referring to the entire Dawn of Victory team, not just Cylon, but whatever.
Well, Raider Retreat is DLC, but Cataclysm really isn't, though it uses much of the same stuff as the original.
[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="567" id="2976281"]I don't even know how to express the stupidity of this.[/quote] I couldn't agree more, I thought I did a good job of countering his complaints. I guess some people just don't understand how to conduct a debate, because one isn't supposed to ignore the opposing argument, one is supposed to counter the argument while not resorting to attacking the presenter of the opposing argument.

That isn't a bad idea, I hope that is the land-based RTS Ironclad is working on.
[quote who="Campaigner" reply="16" id="2975473"]It get laughed at & ignored.[/quote] At least there is one company that understands such ideals, unfortunately they were the very same people who came up with the ideals. On the other hand, EA has already killed two great studios in Westwood Studios and Pandemic Studios, because EA bought them out and dismantled them.
[quote who="Stant123" reply="12" id="2974978"]Not if companies follow the gamer's bill of rights. =][/quote] As long as the conglomerates like EA continue to ignore the Gamer's Bill of Rights, by dismantle the good studios and assimilating them, and not caring about us gamers, then the Gamer's Bill of Rights won't do a whole lot.
[quote who="RedneckRapture" reply="556" id="2975291"]...The Force, originally, was an energy field that the vast majority of people could learn how to manipulate.

All I am going to say is Star Trek tech is not as advanced as it first appears. Star Wars vs. Star Trek arguments so don't work.

Phoenix Rising would definitely be a good choice for seeing about getting models, they do have some good ones like the Golan series.

To know so much about Mythology and not know how to spell Zeus makes me feel ashamed. *cries in corner*[/quote] I take pride in knowing that kind of information, it happens to the best of us, I don't know how many times I have misspelled Daedalus as Deadalus before correcting myself.
