concerning space combat: yes.
but unfortunately, the ground combat is not in.

and when EaW came out, it was the best Star Wars strategie game i've ever played. i never played rebellion though, but i guess the graphics in EaW where much better than in Rebellion

So i think EaW was a great game and i'm also looking forward to this mod

Hi, all
I have been watching this forum for awhile, especially map makers and EmperorParadoxnt. I have been working on my own map of the SW galaxy, I got a little out of control because I like epic scale games and that is what I aimed to achieve. At the moment I have 230 planets named, mapped and positioned for 8 players. I have done away with the SOFSE traveling to stars and made it from planet to planet. I have one star that I have increased its radius to 2000 and have all the planets in that area. I have used other stars to indicate sectors in the galaxy. No Planets are linked to stars, my thinking atm is in the starwars galaxy you travel to planets and not stars. I have tried to make the map strategic in the way certain planets are connected to each other. The image I have attached of the galaxy forge screenshot shot is completely zoomed out the image on the forge zoom. I wanted the distance between Planets to help create the scale of the universe in terms of traveling time and strategy. Certain areas it is quick traveling between planets others it can take awhile, certain connections do take awhile, hey its space and its big, even for hyperdrives. I have been following EmperorParadoxnt ideas about PLJ being fast along trade routes which would be interesting, if there are any developments I would be interested. I had considered using a series of worm holes to achieve this effect. Also I hope to implement Uzii’s planet models into the map when galaxy forge is updated, if there is a way to do this already I would like to know, please. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Below I have entered some screenshots of my map in galaxy forge and in game. Also links to maps I have used as references to create the map. Colt556 and Tmann05 have posted 2 of the links in previous posts, they are good maps, I have had a copy of colts556 map for some years now a good map.

As more developments to the Galaxy forge and other ideas pop up on the forums about gravity well size, planet scale and so forth arise, Im more than willing to consider and learn how to incorporate these into the map or try to work it out with somebody. I will not be pushing the planet number much more my limit is 250, although I did read someone has made a 10000 planet map, WOW. I’m testing the map now to see what it can handle and do some tweaks. I will try to release a copy soon.

Copy and past the GalaxyScenarioDef file found in uzii mode folder in the galaxy forge's folder and overwirte the orignal file there. It will probbaly crash the first time it starts but after that it should work fine.

Have any of you played Star Wars: Rebellion?

It's my favorite Star Wars game, and I think is one of the best RTS's of all time.

Very, very good game. Although I have the english version. (Supremacy) I think I'll agree on the best RTS as well. (Don't kill me SoaSE fans:( )

Hey so I thought of a name

SoaSE
Empire's Last Stand

I know you prolly already using a name and everything but I even drew a pic for it plus I am really glad you are doing this mod and I am really bored at work. Hey I thought of a saying.

"Once the crap rolls all the way down to the bottom, some one loads it into a catapult and launchs it back up to the top"

Overthrow
When you need 4........... I bring 40!!!!!!!

Still do, that game taught me a lot of how to play strategy games. The abstraction was well done, intuitive but deep, but the graphics sucked so much I bought force commander... bad move .

And yeah, we're having the same problems with technical limitations over at the battlefleet gothic mod, just stuck waiting for the tools. I still can't wait for this.

I don't remember seeing the SoaSE SDK being released.

I don't know if anybody has thought of this (sorry if they have), but the death star or what ever super weapon doesn't have to 'destroy' the planet. Is it possible to change the planet into an astroid field?

whats an sdk?

I have a slight feeling that the SDK, or a near equivalent, is in the making. I might be wrong though, its just a hunch. I hope they plan on making it possible to at least expand the scope of the game, for example add new ship types and change the numbers such as weapon type limits and fighter squadrons (I have no idea why this is not already modable...), since it creates a real obstacle for pretty much every mod out there which seeks to bring new stuff to the game, not just change skins and stats. Its even harder if you are making a mod based on an official canon...

That makes no sense. A game sells better and longer the more quality mods are available for it. I know when the original Counter-Strike came out, people were actually buying Half-Life just so they could play CS. I mean, that's the idea behind the modability in the end... the better mods we make, the better (and longer) the game will sell.
