I been thinking for some time about the vehicals on the ground.And personaly they lack fun factor, i think by adding a certain type of realism would fix this.For example running into trees and walls of buildings should casue damage depending on the speed and momentum aswell as taking to high of jumps buttoming out and etc.Hell they did it in battlefront why not galaxies.Another thing that should be seen in the future since the expansion is out is more ground vehicals like hover tanks,artillery hover tanks etc for rebels and at at's and at st's that are manable , not just pets. And even possible to add ground based flight missions. These aspects would make this game fun and who knows maybe the developers will actually listen to some of my ideas.

Interesting, but a couple flaws here.


First of all, damage running into trees? Looking at it from a programer's point of view, it's pretty much impossible. This is the same reason why you get no damage from collition in space: it's just not practical, and people would hate it.


As for tanks for rebels? Well, Rebels don't have tanks. We Rebels are basically gurrillas, or terrorists. By our very nature we're supposed to be outmaned, outguned, and overall "overpowered" by Imperial technology. That's why there's nothing on the rebel's side that can take out AT-STs. I do admit, I'd like to see those things mountable. Problem is though, people would hide in them. Doubt it could be in either.


Not bad ideas though, but don't expect them in.

In EU they used quite a few tanks, such as the Trakta T-1B and T-3B, in one SW RTS the T-3B is known as the "Mech Killer"
