Carracks can do an awesome job if you protect them properly however in later stages when everybody has Capitals floating around they really lose their shine, if you add a Capital plus your carracks you get a nice tank to absorb fire for the carracks to do their job, in my opinion they shift from offensive power in the starting stages to a more support-like role in the later, destroying anti starfighter ships and being a general nuisance to the bigger ships
While I respect your opinion about Carracks being viable,it makes me wonder how do you deal with Bothan Assault Cruisers assisted with Quasar Fires?
surely Carracks cant screen off all the fighters deployed not to mention being at disadvantage against heavily armed Frigate?
this is of course assuming we are playing on either Captain/Admiral difficulty.
I was just reading Corey's 2012 explanation for not having World Devastators in game, about how you can't translate how it strips planets of resources to build weapons. But could it be possible to make WDs act the same way Lando or Karrde does, making a credit bonus for what planet it is over, as well as making a discount in credits for some if not all units/ships on that planet. Could you maybe code it like how the Arc Hammer allows building certain units, but instead of building unique units over a friendly planet it can build units over ANY planet, even enemy ones? It just seems like WDs could operate like Minor hero space unit for the IR; with credit bonuses, discounts and the ability to build ships while blockading enemy planets.
Edit: Thanks Slornie for moving this to the right thread.

I agree,Carracks might work on easier difficulties but they certainly wont cut it as a main force later on in the higher difficulties.
Mix of Dreadnaughts/Victory Star Destroyers,assisted with Escort Carriers and MTC?s and Lancers for screening(possibly TIE Defender wing or two) and you actualy benefit alot more than just spamming Carracks
Sounds like a lot of wasted credits. I haven't lost anything bigger than an MTC my entire game so far. Victory destroyers all the way. But yeah ground is just spam to win, unfortunately,
Ok, I've been playing a lot again lately and I've got some things that have probably already been mentioned, but regardless, I thought I would toss em out there anyway.
To start things off, the Correllian (likely spelled wrong, sorry) gunship hardly ever fires its concussion missiles, and sometimes doesn't fire them at all. I had two of them focusing on a tie bomber and it took twenty to thirty seconds for the bomber squad to go down. Compared to the corvette which costs less, and would shred that bomber squad in seconds with only one of them, there is really no point to buying the gunship. If they fired their missiles more often, like the Hand's vigilance gunship, they would be more useful.
Shifting gears, the Sacheen should only cost one population unit, and even then it's not very useful as far as I could tell. The Corona could also use a buff. I feel like it is weaker than the nebulon b's that it is supposed to be the successor to. They are more beefy, have a harder to hit profile, and have a better fighter compliment then the nebulons, but in terms of fire power, they put out almost nothing. The description also says that it's good for starfighter screening but it doesn't have any laser cannons or concussion missiles so unless this is pointing to the fighter compliment it holds, that part of the description doesn't stand true.
The bothan frigates might be in need of a slight nerf. They are amazing for their cost. You could also simply nerf their power to weapons ability.
Regarding the power to weapons ability, on some ships, it is simply too good. The reason for this is that on some ships, the ability doesn't drain shields. Not sure if that was intended or not, but without the drawback, it is simply a nice 15 or so seconds of crazy damage output that can be used without risk. The ships that I have noticed do not lose shields are: Chaf, Warlord Gunship, Bothan Frigate, and the Nebula Capital. I haven't played much of the remnant lately so I'm not sure about theirs.
Quick note, I'm not sure that the Hand's decimator corvettes' point defense systems ability works properly. When used, it simply goes straight to cooldown rather than filling up so to speak like other over time abilities. I can't be certain it wasn't working though.
Regarding the vigilance corvette, the description claims that it has a cloaking device however it lacks this ability in game.
When defending in space, it would be nice if there could be someway to launch your defense fleet in a location you wish. The game tends to set them up in bad formations and this would allow the player to arrange the fleet optimally. Also, many of the starting points for the defense fleets are very far forward which makes the golans more of a last line of defense sort of deal. If that is what they were intended to be then that's fine but otherwise, it would be nice if the starting points could be moved back to be able to utilize them better. This would also help the ai out since they always turn tail at the start of the battle which leaves their defense fleet exposed to an easy hyperspace jump ambush.
AT-ST's deal splash damage. Not sure if this was intended or not, but it really makes them shred infantry squads. The Hand's Glitzeans might be a little overpowered. You can simply land a bunch of those and steamroll just about everything
Okay, I think that is everything. Sorry for the long post and I apologize in advance for any redundancy. I'm sure you guys get a lot of people saying the same stuff. Hopefully some of this was helpful.
unless you really like ground combat and want them to survive but the basis of it is bring in alot of Carrack cruisers and either expand upward or southward you cannot go both ways without sacrificing a key planet you need.
Yeah, based on the majority of the feedback we've been getting, I'm pretty happy with where the scenario is for the NR and EotH, but I'm going to look into some stuff to make it more forgiving for the IR in the openning stages.
could it be possible to name ships? or original game makes it impossible?
I could say that the most WTF?? thing for me it was when the new republic in final imperial push attacked me with 3 Viscount and nothing more
Fleets don't really add anything new though, they sort of just take away choice. You're really just building a package deal of predetermined ships that already exist in the mod.
Torn between enjoying the remake but also loving the decades of story that was dumped in the pursuit of a reboot. I can see myself feeling this way in a few years.
you mean like starting the PA with Scourge Squadron so to speak?
