Rebels hurt on ground, while the imps are only mediocre in space.  

[elvisnake]

Yeah. I definitely like the space battles the most though. The ground battles aren't nearly as fun for me.  

[Nelowulf]

they get repetitive after a while though, sadly. No real strategy involved.  

[elvisnake]

True. The real strategy seems to be in the outer galaxy map, the part I suck at.  

[Nelowulf]

How so? The hardest planet I think there is is defense for Geonosis (non-rebel) or offense against Endor (non-rebel).

The small starting forces and the overwhelming amount of combat natives are annoying..  

[elvisnake]

I'm not sure why. I'm just bad at it. Strategy has never been my thing  

[Nelowulf]

that's the thing, there isn't much strategy to be used. ARtillery is really your best friend... always. And Veers is nearly impossible to take down if you're the empire.  

[elvisnake]

Hmm... ok. I just suck at it then.  

[Nelowulf]

I don't think it's so much strategy, as knowing which ships to buy and use.

Also, I think that fighting offense is merely a giant "hero rush".  

[Sol Walker]

Wonder how stellar is doing with his reworking of EAW...  

[elvisnake]

What do you mean by "reworking"? What's he doing?  

[Nelowulf]

HE's making a mod which makes it more.... realistic? I guess?  

[Sol Walker]

Yes.

It looked to be a great mod but I think he put it on the back burner.  

[elvisnake]

too bad for him. sounds interesting.  

[stellarmagic]

I got pissed off at the game and abandoned it. EAW wasn't worth the time making into a real strategy game.

You want star wars strategy gaming... buy the old, and never surpassed Star Wars: Rebellion.

EDIT: There is hope. EvilleJedi is making a Warlords mod for Sins of a Solar Empire, and that is guaranteed to blow EAW out of the water qualitatively.
