What would you likein game?

[kucsidave]

Eoth SSD? again?
in fact the only thing the eoth doesn't ever needed is a SSD!
and about that Pa Advancement
We know the can build Lucrehulks in corporate sector...
So i was thinking...
A corporate sector her would be nice...
I mean like if u cap all corp.sec. you get an extra hero what comes from their "fraction"

And also the PA VERY VERY NEED A PLEX SQUAD!!!!!

[jordanthejq12]

So does the Remnant.

Also, should this be semi-officially the Patching Suggestions thread (and thus stickied in place of the old 2.0 threads)?

EDIT: Also, minor graphical bug that could be a potential performance issue: the MC40 has a lingering deathclone (that is, it does not go away after a certain period of time, unlike others).

Yea i also noticed that, but this is not the report bugs thread

Self destruct options for the Yevetha Thrustships.

Loss of certain leaders for a faction result in loss of GC. For instance loss of Zsinj in Hunt for Zsinj if you are IR or loss of Pellaeon in Final Imperial push

[jordanthejq12]

Curious, both of those ideas. Especially the retro "some hero must survive" loss condition. I think it'd be nice to have an accompanying assassination win condition (ex. lose Pellaeon and you're out, but kill Leia and you win", but I think Petro stopped doing that because it's difficult to do with multiple factions.

[Ye]

I think that sort of win condition turns the game from a strategically sound galactic conquest into a beeline for Coruscant/Dac/Nirauan/Bastion.

The reason the Galactic Civil War lasted for 15 years after the Emperor died was because killing an organization's leader isn't an immediate victory.

[jordanthejq12]

Ah, good point. But it's also an incentive to keep moving your leader around.

I think it is feasible in some GCs, Zsinj's Empire disintegrated immediately following his death, same with Krennal, Devian and Shadowspawn. Their factions either surrendered or defected to other Warlords instantly upon their deaths.

[jordanthejq12]

But considering the AI in The Hunt for Zinsj and Into the Cluster likes to attack with Zinsj, those would turn into rather short (if intense) GCs as the NR.

[Carnivore Jacques]

No kidding! What you didn't see is that Zsinj stays parked above Dathomir for at least 3 weeks.
That means the NR strategy in the Hunt for Zsinj is this (assuming Zsinj death is instant victory):

Take the fleets located within the Hapes Consortium. Put them all on the mists. Move to Gravan VII. Move to the next planet. Move to Dathomir, kill Zsinj. This takes 3 weeks, tops. Don't even bother with interdictors, he won't retreat unless the shipyard is destroyed.

It's a bit boring because there's no ground battles, and most of the time is spent waiting for the battle dragons to take down the shields.


I'd also like to note that whenever you lose because your leader died, it feels like total bullshit. It happens all the time in Star Wars (Revan's first death, Tarkin's death, Palpatine's first death, Thrawn's first death), but such out-of-the-blue instant losses seem like you've been cheated out of a real game.

Granted it works better when a player is controlling the other side and if HFZ had more open space lanes making t more of a "Hunt"

Also in the Tarkin event, pretty sure they won due to the Entire Death Star blowing up...his death was more or less a side effect rather than cause of the loss. Endor wasn't won due to the Emperor dying(though that certainly contributed heavily, it was a combination of Rebel  innovation, plot bunnies and George Lucas not being able to understand astrophysics. Also Thrawn's faction didn't die with him, it actually did rather well for a time continuing into Shadow Hand with momentum. The instances where leader death caused instant collapse was with Drommel, Krennal and Zsinj.

Ideas:

1. All planets should have the same limit on Space stations but not all can build all ships obviously.  Seems off that they couldn't build a stronger space station seeing as space isn't an issue after all.

2. Put shields back to auto set, or  make a location to put it at in the center of the "bases"

3. Put turbolasers back on autoplace/ figure out a way to make locations which you set it down and it creates multiple turrets

4. Give the space stations a couple small guns for anti-fighter usage.

I'm not sure what you mean by either of these. Shields and turbolasers have always been determined by specific markers on the map.

The only objects which could be moved/placed were production buildings and land units. In the update it varies on which planets this is avaliable on. On others, you can place only a certain amount of units....If that makes any sense....

I'd like to see IR lose one of their big ships in FTGU.  SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO rough when they have Executor, Sovereign, and unlimited Praetors.

Speaking of FTGU.  Should replace Yaga Minor with Jaemus so that PA can build SFS and get discounts.

[jordanthejq12]

Do they get Executors? If I remember correctly the IR is supposed to be in era 3, which means they shouldn't have Executors...that should be fixed, I think.

[tlmiller]

Yup, they have Executors, Sovereigns, and boatloads of Praetors.

[Darman]

Era three was palps if I remember correctly. And palps LOVE his super weapons/massive ships. ie: sovereign executer predator II exc

[tlmiller]

From what Corey explained to me one time when I was chatting with him, FTGU isn't strictly 1 era.   It's a "best of" era.  So Era-3 IR doesn't actually have Executor, but it's not strictly Era-3, so it gets added in.

The only bright side is that they've changed/will be changing the max on Sovereign that can be built at a time (down to 1, 4 lifetime), so you don't get fleets with multiple Sovereigns in it...which is just brutal (although it is IMO the best looking ship that is exclusive to the IR and my main reason for liking Era 3 best).

[jordanthejq12]

Brutal isn't the word. Try unbeatable.
