I am just tired of this screwing up everything that has happened since the NJO came out.

The Victory IIC-class carrier Star Destroyer should really be a Venator-class Star Destroyer, the Venator is more of a carrier than the Victory II could ever be; if you really want a battlecruiser, the Imperial-class Star Battlecruiser would be a better choice (the Eclipse 's escorts and the Allegiance from Dark Empire , almost certainly the Imperial Star Battlecruisers from the Imperial era).

Well, no one else is trying to fix errors like that. I am tired of seeing nonsense like the Eclipse and the Sovereign -classes just being Super Star Destroyers instead of Star Dreadnoughts like the Executor -class, the Imperial -class SSD and Allegiance from Dark Empire not being Imperial -class Star Battlecruisers with Allegiance the only named representative, and the Strident -class Star Defender being in the same l

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="11" id="2891597"]The biggest problem is charging head-first into starbases and minefields. So long as the AI refuses to keep its distance from these beasts, it will always be easy to force it to take excessive casualties repeatedly for no gain.[/quote] AIs aren't always the sharpest tools in the shed. Then there is making the AI capable of being on speaking terms with each other i.e. capable of forming ceasefires with each other with the relat

The Deliverance Engine is useful in the right situation. I recently had an Advent mirror match against a vanilla Normal AI at Agamemnon's Bounty, I conquered my home system and the Agamemnon system itself including the wormhole, then took the enemy's Ice, and used a lot of Deliverance Engines to get the job done (I got Advent Harmony Researcher). If you target the right planet, and have a foothold with Temples of Communion in an enemy system, it can be a powerful tool for achieving victory. W

Pena, and Curtis Saxton should be scattered after burning.[/quote] Those three guys have done more good for Star Wars than all most any other people I know of. Pablo Hidalgo and Abel G.

Yeah, I have done a few things on the wiki, well, what I can do with my limited knowledge of the expansions. I contribute on several other wikis and am an admin on the StarCraft Wiki , so that is nothing new to me. Someone definitely needs to give the Diplomacy features some love on the wiki, I only know so much. I added the envoy cruisers to the wiki with what little I could find on them. So the env

I would like to take this opportunity to formally introduce myself, I my name is Zeta1127 (well not my real name but that isn't really important). I haven't been seen in multiplayer yet, but if I go there I will probably be Zeta Dragoenix Order or something like that. As the title of the thread suggests, that is the impression I am getting, is this conclusion unfounded? As I understand it the changes to the pirates and the diplomacy system in Diplomacy don't work very well, is this tr

Actually, I shouldn't have said rewritten, more like the timeline has yet to be finalized now thanks to the Clone Wars cartoon. A contradiction like that is exactly what I am complaining about, because George Lucas said it himself that the corvette is the Tantive IV . Every source since Revenge of the Sith has stated that the Tantive IV was the corvette until they retconned it to be the Sundered Heart from Star Wars: Empire at War in a recen

I can't stand the Clone Wars cartoon, it is making a mess of Star Wars canon for several reasons. The entire Clone Wars storyline between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith is being rewritten thanks to the Clone Wars cartoon. The Tantive IV (Princess Leia's ship from A New Hope ) no longer appears in Revenge of the Sith , which ruins the EU character Corla Mertonae's story, thanks to the Clone Wars cartoon. The list of things being changed

InternetNerd, your complaining about Impulse being required for patches? You already patch games over the internet, so what is wrong with requiring a specific service run by the developer in order to patch their games?

InternetNerd is referring to the Impulse Now Promotions pop-up that can be turned off in Settings. This is surely harmless next to what Steam must do.

Great, just great and I don't use the internet on consoles. Ready for internet-required consoles, I am not. As I said here on page 11, Steam is an accident waiting to happen, God help all gamers if that happens on consoles.

As I said here on page 3, I won't be charmed into using a service that is required for the games I want to play. Steam isn't likely to get me as a customer after they overly complicated the file system for Forces of Corruption , the expansion pack for Star Wars: Empire at War , which made it extremely difficult to play mods with the St

First of all, this is my first time posting on these forums. I found my way here thanks to a little something called Sins of a Solar Empire , unfortunately not either of its expansions, yet. I haven't been very impressed with what I have heard about Steam, specifically, the way Star Wars: Empire at War 's expansion pack, Forces of Corruption, files are formatted in the Gold Pack from Steam made it extremely difficult
