  1. sadly I dont own the manual I bought the game for $12 off a friend who, "Didn't really like it," the shmuck, and he had lost it long before that. That was back in 2003 (last comer, I know ) but anyway, thanks for the info. More and more everyday
  2. huzzah! I am remembered okay, so Commanders and Admirals, thanky
  3. hello, quick question For a fleet conducting an orbital bombardment (not assault, sorry for the OT) you're saying they use the bonus of a General and not an Admiral? Hmm
  4. Bulks, ugh! What are they good for? Absolutely nothing! Sorry, had to
  5. Incite Uprising is one of my favorite tactics. It works very well for Empire given the abundance of high leadership characters I too was confused at its use beforehand thinking it actually caused the enemy system to Uprise instead of simply lowering popular support for the enemy on their own system. I feel it works best to see it as Diplomacizing (did I make that word up?) an enemy planet, plain and simple
  6. that's my gripe with any MMO while I understand the need for monthly fees, it just doesnt fit my gaming style where I'll play a game, get bored or stuck so I'll load up Dark Forces II or Rebellion or Uncharted Waters for my SNES or Diablo II single player (ashamed) lol it requires alot of time (I was thinking of getting WoW) that I don't have
  7. hmm, never noticed that as Empire you can leave a squadron undeployed by not giving them orders I always thought they launched no matter what
  8. wow, I'm 19 now, and I first got that game when I was (thinking) like 10 maybe anyone still play? What side? I was thinking of picking it up again as the Empire but I was never really good at it. Especially getting the hang of the thrust (full power, least maneuverability/33% power full agility) what were your settings? How'd you control your wingmates and how the heck could you automagically select your Leader's target instead of setting him to a hotkey, and then scroll through all targets to find his? My curiosity is piqued, lol (again)
  9. this was on the first page so I don't consider spam-bumping ayway, I use WASD with 1-4 being my neutral force powers. I think 1 was Pull, 2 Sight, 3 Speed, 4 Jump. I used Q & E to change the other powers (Throw was the best, lol)
  10. well if you're playing against the comp (I dont normally play online, yet lol) then the enemy fighters run straight for your bombers, I'm almost certain so leaving them at the back isn't really useful I wish I could play right now to try out the "carracks early game, fighters later" thing though, my friggin new comp that I bought parts for and assembled doesn't work and it makes me wanna cry
  11. I'm not so sure anyone's going to reply to this. Perhaps if you standoff with Imperial capitals they will keep their nose to the target (bonus for their bow firing arc) and Surround would give you either broadside for use with rebel capitals as far as fighter surround/stanbdoff, I don't know
  12. lol, long live the Empire I say. However, I don't like this debating on whether the EU is correct or not, because as someone stated earlier, without the EU we would have very little. Imagine a Star Wars with no books, games, comics, merchandise, but only movies. You would have no answers to any questions that weren't specifically answered in dialogue during the movies. Because of this, you have to take liberties, and that has become the EU, which in part is our only source for all the little things that truly flesh out that galaxy far, far away On Pilots and Clones: You think anyone would turn down a volunteer? Ofcourse there were good ol' fashioned humans in the all walks of the Imperial military. Beside that point, I read in an interview that clone stock had sometimes gotten worse rather than better. Politcal deals are made for so-and-so's DNA to be made into clones for the Imperial military for this much money/influence/power, etc hence the differing voices and all around behavior of stormtroopers in the OT. And ofcourse one has to consider where all the regular humans that comprise the officers and pit crews and etc that are seen. There is also and Imperial Academy that puts out tons of volunteers from all kinds of planets from Corellia (Han) to Tatooine (Biggs and probably Luke, if only...) on Xenophobia and the Empire: Exactly, whatever the Emperor wants, he better sure as hell get. We cannot answer this question. We only have what the EU tells us. In the movies we see Palpatine (pre-Emperor) with Alien cohorts. Perhaps he's only using them for political gain and nothing more. The movie does not overtly make the point so we cannot imply anything without help of the EU. Having said that, one can only assume that the Empire was xenophobic because there's nothing stating otherwise in the movies, which take precedence over anything after. on Fighters: It's simply a design philosophy whether or not to use fighters more like the TIE or the X-Wing. The Empire's philosophy was one based on power, cost efficiency, and the ideal that, "You are expendable." In that sense, it fits them perfectly. About Wedge killing hundreds by himself: It's completely plausible if you figure there are billions of people in the New Republic. Thousands of them are pilots. Wedge has assembled himself and only 11 others as the best fighters in all the New Republic. as an aside: I wonder how the Empire would have fared against the Vong. They'd be losing scores of fighters, what with no shields and all. But then again, even the Imperial Remnant has established a new philosophy of fighter design by flying the Chiss clawcraft (seemingly, somehow) and SoroSuub Preybirds anyway, my train of thought derailed so more laters
  13. *sigh* piracy sucks I admit, the first time I saw it one of of my coworkers had it ripped to a DVD and we watched it on a laptop. I didn't feel so bad though since I already had advanced tickets for a showing that same evening (opening day!) in my wallet, but I was amazed how little respect it got from every passer-by who wanted a copy rather than tickets to see it in theatre ohwell
  14. i know I'd be eternally grateful for something like this I bought the game off of someone a year ago for $12. He hadn't played it in almost a year himself and definetly lost the manual. I had to scour tons of FAQs and walkthroughs (and especially this place, which I'm still doing) to learn to play
  15. Palpatine states in 2 different instances that: 1) His own mentor taught him all things about the Force 2) Darth Plaegius (sp) taught his apprentice everything he knew however, Palpatine says that the tale of Darth Plaegius is an old sith tale, and does not explicitly state that his master was the death-cheating Darth
