Thrawn's Revenge: Survival Challenge

[JMDurron]

Completed Wave 9 as EotH.  The lack of fighters in my Phalanx - Warlord - Vigilance force was a critical flaw when the Venator-Praetor waves arrived.  I avoided fighters against the early Carrack-Lancer waves for obvious reasons, but then I didn't have enough cash left to round out enough fleets to defend all angles later on.  The switch by the AI to one huge fleet really exposed how unbalanced I was.

Any suggestions for survival with the new republic, or any other classes for that matter? Thanks in advance guys!

Hi-

When building ships in survival mode, the ai says "upgrade complete" but no ship spawns.  Is this a known bug, and if so, whats the fix?

Thanks

Ships you purchase in Survival will go into the reinforcements pool, but you can only bring them into battle between attack waves.

Thanks for the reply!  It didn't seem to be working that way before, but perhaps I wasn't giving it enough time between waves.

Thanks again!

I've had a handful of problems with Survival mode.. Be nice to see how it runs in 2.2. Took me awhile to even figure out HOW to play survival mode.
But I really love the GC where you start with 1 planet and work outward. Def one of my favorite game modes!

I got to wave 8 as the EoTH. My advice is to use 1-2 Kariek Cruisers, various Anti-Fighter Support ships, 2 Bu'Dierch Frigates, 1-2 Warlord-Class Gunships, 1 Ascendancy-Class Star Destroyer, and 1 Phalanx-Class Destroyer (And maybe 1 Syndic-Class Destroyer). I was killed by Fighters, which would've been destroyed if I overcharged the weapons on one of the Bu'Dierch's and destroyed the last Acclamator's last subsystem in time. But I had fun and spent my credits wisely!

I got through 8 waves as the Imperial Remnant. Wave Nine took me down. I utilized a number of ISD IIs, at least one Venator, and a bunch of Lancer Frigates, plus the ISDs that were auto-given to me, and the default starting forces.
