ok idea... 4 Star.. needs to be devloped more though

Yeah I see what you mean. If the imps control a planet with a certain amount, say 150 GCW points, a Star Destroyer should appear in Space there. With the Rebels it'd be corvette's or something. It'd be a great way to introduce more the GCW to space and give more motive for the planets to be controlled.

personly im just waiting on the devs to add them cool neon strip lighting effects to the blockade runners like i saw in the Episode III trailor

Funny thing was the Movies themselves already gave ustwo incredibly fun potential game situations.The Phantom Menacehad a Space station that controlled the FederationDroid Army. The ground forces had to hold off the Armies Assault until the Space station was destroyed then it was easyvictory. Then in Return of the Jedi they had a Shield Generator base that basically made the Death Star untouchable. The Ground Forces moved in an shut down that Shield an then they were able to win the fight in Space.

Now of all the Star Warsgames out there I think this will be the first that trully has the capability to recreate a scenario like those. If they could pull it off I dont think we would here complaints for content for a while because of how damn potentially fun this could be. If its not already a priority they should make it a part of the GCW revamp in my opinion. Maybe as one of the new Battlefields.

those are the kind of things i'm talking about, though i didn't think of the ground effecting space (good referance dude). it would be great if what we did in space could actually acomplish something in the long run.

the idea is acutally kind of simple (though might be hard to impliment). say the imperials currently holdtatooineand the rebs are in full retreat. now its kind of hard to even the odds with the imps getting inexpencive faction perks and what not but what would be good (and accurate IMO) is when one faction is in control of a planet they should also be in control of space as well. therefore in my example we shouldsee imp ships: freighters, transports, fighter patrols etc tooling around tatooine.

knowing that the imps also control the space around tatthe rebs can try and put a hurting on the imps from there, try to cut their supply lines. ifin jtl they could track the number of imp ships in an area the rebs could come in and start taking them out, cuting the imperial supplies of troops and equipment. this could drive up the cost of faction perks for the impsand decrease the number of imp npc on the ground, giving the rebs a chance to fight back.

now the only thing would be that you don't need to be overt to do this normally and therefore imp players would not have a chance to stop you. therefore i think that they would need to implement a system similar to the ground has now where there are certain target that can be attacked while covert and certain ones that you need to be overt (and the overt ones count more). this way the opposing faction has a chance to stop you and everyone from low level to higher level has a chance to participate.

Factional capital ships. If they did include these, I'd like to see them as like bases on the ground. MAke them buyable, then you drop them is space and it spawns a capital ship that flys around that system in a sort of loop, like the vette in kessel. Make a limit on how many ships can be in a system at once. Have there be both PVE and PVP versions, where PVe has fighter escort and gunboat escort, just like the vette, but the PVP has no normal escort, but can only hurt or be hurt by overt players. Keep the prices low, because it is a lot easier to destroy a vette than a base on the ground, even a FO. But limit the number in the system at once to like 10 capital ships between the sides. The side with the advantage of capital ships gets some sorf of bonus, maybe in FP gain or something, cheaper repairs at the station, giving an incentive to destroy the enemies capital ships and deploy your own. But capital ships should be NPC only, never player controlled.

Now these are the kinda posts i love to read. Beautifully done and well thought out 5 stars
