I know I'm repeating my self, but I don't want to have to retype what I wrote on the other topic and because I’m not shore it has been read: Don't forget BF2 is mainly multiplayer, so they can't be much of a story line, because people take any battle at any time. I think that adding different factions would be really complicated, and not that useful, even though the idea seems great. If the Reb's have shields, and the Imp's don't, then I think there should be, or more Imp's fighters in the map, or they should respowne ( I don’t know how to spell that word) faster (but I don't know if that is possible) than the Reb's fighters. And of course there would be the speed and all the rest difference. You could also try to make a difference between space and atmospheric dog fighting. Some ships cold be advantaged in atmos. and other in space... just an idea. That is really cool, but the problem with that is that if you count 2-3 main ships per team, counting each 1 one the bridge and 6 for canons, it make 3x7=21 and there are only 32 in each team, if the team is full. So that leaves only 11 fighters. Now you can count at least 5 players in the game who will play around doing nothing, which brings you down to 6 fighters. Well, what a dogfight... mostly if the map is big enough for 6 capital ships. Do you see what I mean? Then: Well, that is already possible and has always been. You all talk about having more vehicles, but I've got to remind you that the mean critic about BF2 is that it is to "axed" (those that make sense in English) on vehicles. Because don't forget that there will never be more than 64 players, and that is when you are lucky. And the commander will never be able to drive all 3 of them. Except if he keeps them in the same place, and then it would be easy to destroy, so dumb. Do you see what I mean? I really don't think we should allow no more than 2-3 equivalents of thanks, 1-2 fighters and 3-4 light fast transport. And not like in SW Battlefront, where you can have 2 AT-ATs largely overpowered. Just to leave it more as a ground unit fight. Ok, now I have to confess that I am an absolute novice at 3D, designer, modding or programming, and that I am not intending on getting better at it, ok? So I don't know if I will be any help, the only thing I can do, is give ideas. So if you need me say so, but if you don't, I shall not be fussed if you literally tell me: " Nic, we really don't need you." OK?
