So far out of the ones I've heard I love them all. My favorite VO's so far are probably the Praetor, Munificent, Thrawn, and Phennir. I love Zsinj's VO (I'll feast on steak lol), but the volume for his VO is really low.

Anyways as to favorite and least favorite:

Pentastar Alignment

I'm not sure why Zsinj's came out so low. Might have been in transfer. But it was loud when I made it.

Wow, I had an entire four paragraphs scripted out and it cut it off...guess I'll just have to put it up all over again.

Pentastar Alignment: Kain and Gregor are my favorite. Grant is good, but is more effective later in the game when you have several assault fleets moving at once (Kaine in one, Jerec in another, Praetor + Grant in a third) but in the early game I tend to use Venators and Acclamators more. Jerec is in so e ways my least favorite. Don't get me wrong, I love him and always use him, but he has the autoresolve value of a troop transport. This becomes tiresome when I don't want to spend the five minutes to destroy a barely defended planet (I'd much rather autoresolve). Jerec forces me to do the former or I'll lose him.

EotH: Favorites at Siath (because he's in a Phalanx) and Parck (VSD with PTW and PTS? yes please). Least favorite is Niriz. Both of the ground heroes are cool, so no real favorite here.

New Republic: Never played as them, but here's what I would hazard to guess. For space, probably Wedge, Eating A'Boat, and Ackbar would be my favorite. My least favorite is Han and Chewie (just a little too fragile to be used in many situations). Any Jedi unit would be fine, my least favorite would probably be Lando.

Imperial Remnant: Saving the best for last! My favorite Space Heroes would be anyone in an SSD, Maarek Stele, and Colonel Cronus (because he lets you build Crimson Command VSDs). Least favorite would be Ferrier and Vermel. Ground favorites would be any Dark Jedi/Sith, but I find all the Ground Heroes to be useful.

Poor Lando get's no love. I find him useful at least.

Han? Too fragile? The Millennium Falcon can chew through an entire Executor's fighter complement with ease, used correctly. It's just a matter of timing his invulnerability ability well, sort of like Luke and his Force Cloak - done right, you can do a ton of damage without anyone ever getting through to you. On the ground he can be equally useful although he has more trouble - unlike Luke, he doesn't have an easy 'Run back to the bacta' ability combo (Force Cloak + Sprint)

Plus he's a stealth hero which is a great advantage for the rebels.

Anyways, I think I mentioned, my favorite is probably Fel. People deride the fighter heroes as worthless but proper use of fighter/bomber spam is still quite powerful and Fel excels at it. It's a lot cheaper than Phalanx spam, too.

It could just be because whenever I see him I just make all my fighters focus on him and overwhelm him. 32 D-types take him out without him being able to eliminate a single squadron or use Invulnerability more than once. Luke in his X-wing on the other hand, eliminate three squads before I had his shields halfway down, then speedboated away to rejuvenate and returned (this time I finally killed him. The Falcon just doesn't last under concentrated firepower.

That's why he has to have some back up

I once had my entire fleet pummeling the Millennium Falcon, it took around 5 minutes for it to finally die.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #28 on:** August 20, 2013, 12:04:41 PM »

I seldom have any trouble dealing with the Falcon, it's Wedge and Ackbar that enjoy my ire

>Ackbar

Oh boy

Home One is a monster in the early eras. Without several capital ships, you might as well forget about it - his shields just won't die, so your bombers never get to have any fun. Just constantly, constantly recharging... I did manage to kill him in Reunification by luring him over a double-High Velocity Cannon planet. The Galactic Voyager's shields aren't much help in that scenario.

You'd think he would have noticed that it was a trap.

For supposedly being the Rebel's greatest strategic Admiral he doesn't have a great track record if you really look at it.
Ambushed at Endor, Ambushed at Bilbringi, Ambushed at Ciutric, constantly routed in Shadow Hand, nearly killed over Yavin by Daala, and beaten by Pellaeon a few times.
In all these instances luck or other players managed to save the situation from utter disaster, yet he gets credit. Personally I found him to be an average commander at best with the likes of Etahn, Iblis and Antilles being FAR more capable.

Yes. In either the books or the games Wedge is most likely to win against my imperial forces.

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #33 on:** August 21, 2013, 12:54:12 AM »

Yeah, but I can't help but Love Wedge. I might be Imperial but I do have a soft spot for the Rogues and Wraiths of old.

Ah, Ackbar, he ran right into a Hyper-velocity cannon with me. Once again, he fell for a trap.

I've kind of stayed away from heroes myself much; their rather permanent deaths make them pretty big risks to throw into the fight (especially fighter pilot heroes). Besides, I can't have characters I like in the canon die senseless deaths fighting 25 Quasars.

Revanchist · « **Reply #37 on:** August 23, 2013, 05:10:47 PM »

I usually split my heroes into the two or three main chokepoints of my territory, move all my inner forces into these fleets and presto! I can begin the attack in several directions at once. Usually this consists of the leader (plus maybe one other hero) in the SSD in one fleet and everybody else in another fleet that includes an SSD once I am able to build it. As to fighter heroes, they are great if you are on the offensive but terrible if you are being attacked.

I try and relive canon battles as much as possible, like Selagis, Dathomir, Anx Minor and such. I normally give those systems the forces they had canonically and lure the AI to attack me there.

Me: I'm ready for that battle over Anx Minor!
AI: You mean the corvette fleet to end all corvette fleets?
Me: Sigh. Alright, I'll shoot down all your corvettes.
