__=Version 2.5G Changes:=__

--Change | Reason / Notes--

A.I. Improvements Added | More like...giving it an understanding of the Unlocked Structures
They now build as they should, defenses and all.

Empire AI is Functional once more

Officer Academy now has a Garrison | Spawns 1 Officer Squad when invaded

Power Generators Can no longer be built | They don't need to be built. They come pre-installed on each planet
You can't see them in the structure list, but once you go to a Land Battle it will be there to power your defenses.
Please note that it takes a few moments before your Shields turn on, don't freak out.

Hypervelocity Gun & Planetary Ion Cannon can be built again | Finally the A.I. will build these correctly on their own

Mining Facilities Limited to 1 per planet again | The A.I. made way too many Farming Planets, which seemed to interfere with other things

Field and Fleet Officers no longer limited to 2 per player each | The A.I. utterly ingnored that limit

Small Universe Removed | Somehow tied to the Massive Horde of Fleet Commanders Bug. I may reduce the outer fringe
of the Large Universe in an optional update.

Level 1 Space Stations can now build all ships | A.I. workaround

Base Shields and other Defenses now function correctly again | This may have only been a problem with an internal version.

____________________________________________
--Known BUGS/Issues/TIPS:--

Imperial Star Destroyers & MonCalimari Cruisers can only be built on either MonCalimari, Kuat, Fondor, or Sullust.
A Level 1 Space Station or higher is required.

Empire can only build Hutt Palaces on Atzerri, Nal Hutta, Ryloth, & Tatooine (Bounty Hunters)

Rebels can only build Cantinas on Abregado Rae, Atzerri, Corellia, Nal Hutta, Ryloth, & Tatooine (Smugglers)

Using the STOP button while selecting Snowspeeders WILL CRASH the game. Once they start flying, don't try to stop them.
They will constanly circle where you tell them to move once they get there. So far there haven't been any problems for when the
A.I. uses them.

When Playing as Rebels and invading a Planet the game might cause an exception, Alt-Tab to the error box and hit CANCEL,
then Tab back into the game. You should be able to continue playing. It's doesn't happen when using the RAID slot.
Personally I have not had this happen in any of my recent Tests.

If you find the game too hard even on Easy, then delete the file named DIFFICULTYADJUSTMENTS.XML in the XML directory
The game will use it's default settings

Game may crash when Exiting the game | I have no idea why, but it's not critical.

Tornados can drive you insane | I loathe those Frelling things! If only I knew how to remove them.
Getting tired of the Rancor as well.
_____________________________________________

__=Version 2.3G Changes:=__

--Change | Reason / Notes--

Field and Fleet Officers now limited to 2 per player each | The AI really loved the Fleet guys

Hypervelocity Gun & Planetary Ion Cannon NERFED | 300% Rate of Fire decrease.
They can no longer be built. One will be included on the 2 Factions Home Planets, no more.
Sell it and it is gone for good. As a player you need to build your own
Power Generator for it to function.

Optional Full Universe now included

Empire AI starts with a Research Center | Hopefully fixes their Tech 1 game

__=Version 2.2G Changes:=__

--Change | Reason / Notes--

Random Crash Bug Fixed | Not random after all, the AI apparently cannot attack
Land Bases that aren't player controlled. Therefore, Pirates have been removed from all systems.
Pirate Space Systems (AI does alright with those) might return in the next update that adds more planets.

The Home System for AI players has a Shield Generator, Power Generator, Turbolaser Towers, and Planetary Space Cannons Pre-Installed | For a good battle

Tech Levels Added | They follow the Tech layout in the demo's Droid Helper except for 2 differences:
Planetary Ion Cannons are Tech Level 3 & T4B Tanks are Tech Level 2.

Repulsar Lift Jammer is Tech Level 4

Removed Comm Arrays | They don't do anything in campaign mode

Rebel Planetary Ion Cannons now require a Heavy Vehicle Factory to be built

__=Version 2.1G Changes:=__

--Change | Reason / Notes--

Millenium Falcon no longer inflates when in it's death throes (thanks TheDeadlyShoe)

Rebel Snow Speeder Added (A-Wing model) | This will counter the new Pirate Speeders and AT-AT

AT-AA Added (Larger AT-ST model) | To counter the Snowspeeders

Universe Reduced | Hopefuly for better gameplay, since no save games

T4B Tanks Rockets added back in

Fighters have been slightly scaled down in size | Aesthetics

General Veers rides in an AT-Barge in space

Rebel's Heavy Factory Garrison increased to 2 T4B Tanks

Rebel Infiltrator Building and Unit Added

Limit removed from the number of Mining Facilites that can be built per planet

Pirates Added Back in
They control the Central planets
Pirates have a new Speeder unit | V-Wing version of a Snowspeeder (the Speeders are pretty neat overall)
Added in Pirate Command Center | No texture, but infantry and vehicles damage it just fine.

__=Version 2.0G Changes:=__

--Change | Reason / Notes--

Added Mara Jade | She is untextured, but otherwise working (Space=Shuttle Land=Unit)

Empire can build Hutt Palaces on Atzerri, Nal Hutta, Ryloth, & Tatooine for Bounty Hunters

Rebels can build Cantinas on Abregado Rae, Atzerri, Corellia, Nal Hutta, Ryloth, & Tatooine for Smugglers

Removed Pirates | The game would tab out to an error box whenever attacking them. Didn't crash, but was annoying all the same

Removed Rebel Artillery | Cause Imp don't have any

Removed Rockets from T4B Tanks | Rebel AI used it like artillery on Turbolaser, staying out of range. No Imp unit can do that.

One Building per Type per Planet | Icon list gets so big that other icons get pushed off screen, and are unacessable.

Removed V-Wing | The Z95 is old enough

All space stations use LEVEL 1 Model, Hardpoints, & Health | Overall Balance & Bug fix

Level 2-5 Space Station Shield Increase(Value/Regen) | To Make up for level 1 HP, Don't let those bombers go after your shields! (Hopefully higher Regen number is better)

Removed Outdated Acclamator | It looked out of place among the Rebel scum

Planets now only have 6 build slots at the most | The Tatooine land map only supports 6. Higher slots led to False Victories & Crashes

No more Greyed out icons.

Removed Magnepulse Weapon | Causes crash on invasion

Many Bug Fixes | All buildings have models(but not all textured), no invisible units etc.
Planet Shield Generators placed correctly.
No double space units (The 2nd Tartan for example had tissue paper for armor).
Empire can now build Officers
Etcetera.
