And I do say that the changes to garrisons in 2.0 is a HUGE bonus. Land combat is actually fun now. You can actually attack knowing that you only have to survive a finite amount of T2B's.

Hear, hear! In 1.3, to combat the horde of unending T2Bs, I had to fortify a location with hardpoints backed up by AT-ATs. Was a slow and agonizing process.

In space you could add to the knight hammer the cloaking power too. I know you are goning to say "but you won't go far with it" but it would be cool anyway specially when you are on retreat. And please fix Gordin Tierce voice on the galaxy map , you are using han's voice wich is ok but it's really weird hearing chewbacca lol

The Knight Hammer didn't hve a cloaking device, it was just painted a darker colour. We've reflected this by painting it a darker colour.

Are you sure? accordin to wookipedia "Covered in stealth armor and hosting automated systems that allowed it to run with a fraction of the standard crew size, the Knight Hammer was particularly advanced for ships of its class ". I know it is not the same as cloaking but it would work too

Corey · « **Reply #145 on:** October 03, 2012, 07:00:37 PM »

Yeah, stealth armor refers to the colour. No cloaking device.

Eclipse · « **Reply #146 on:** October 03, 2012, 07:16:48 PM »

Well it would have been easier if instead of stealth it would have said just "black"

. I mean when all of use read the term tealth we associate it with "avoiding detection" that's why I suggested the cloaking skill

tlmiller · « **Reply #147 on:** October 03, 2012, 11:16:37 PM »

Yes, and in the backdrop of black space, a black armored ship is much harder to see.

I found really funny the idea of your's TLMILLER I mean with all the tecnology I wouldn't expect that the gunner would be looking at space searching for enemy ships I belive that there mus't be something similar to the radar. just my opinion

Stealth is different from cloaking. Modern Stealth bombers are essentially done the same way.

Slornie · « **Reply #150 on:** October 04, 2012, 01:11:44 PM »

Yeah. It's like the StealthX's from LotF. They don't have cloaking generators, but the hull was a "star-flecked body of irregular, matte-black fiberplast that rendered it almost invisible against a background of stars", which I imagine was also combined with some fancy EMCON stuff.

This is quite a small thing, but I'd really like it if the Vindicator was made to look different from the Enforcer or Immobilizer, maybe colour it a darker shade of grey?

It's just that one battle I had yesterday was a disaster when I accidently built a fleet of Vindicators instead of Enforcers, and got slaughtered by a bunch of NR bombers.

Corey · « **Reply #152 on:** October 06, 2012, 07:05:32 AM »

The thing there is that they do canonically look the same, so there's one point against it. The other is that it wouldn't really make a difference unless you memorized the exact shades, and individually you still then wouldn't know which is which. Take into account map lighting variance and it loses any significance. I've been told there are *50 shades of grey, but only one or two look acceptable in a Star Destroyer type ship. The rest turn it into a cartoony pile of awful.

*Yes, I hate myself for this.

And there was me thinking they were all painted Star Destroyer White.

Corey · « **Reply #154 on:** October 06, 2012, 10:20:41 AM »

It's actually a really light shade of grey that's really close to white. Code and I had this conversation multiple times.

I had a suggestion. I know all of us are Boba Fett fans, and we wish that he could be in this mod. Well I have an idea. In the Fate of the Jedi series, it is mentioned that Daala and Fett are good friends. Thus, maybe you could have him as an Era 4 hero for the IR.

If not, here is my second fett related idea. As you had said, Fett was a bounty hunter, and he was loyal to the highest bidder. Therefore, I think he should be purchasable in Skirmish at the neutral bases for all sides.

Okay, here's another suggestion, how about replacing the Praetor II that the Empire can build in Era 3 with the Allegiance Class Battlecruiser?

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Allegiance-class_battlecruiser

It was a lot more common in that period, and it would add a bit more variety to the IR vs PA battles.

Oh and another thing, the PA can do with a proper AA ground vehicle.

They have one, the AT-AA (same as the IR).

This actually would not be a bad idea. I would also say that when Kaine dies the first time around from Era 1 to Era 2, that the SSD disappears altogether, but that is just me.

Do they? I can't build them for some reason $:-\$ , the same way I can't build V-Wings as the NR...
