Wouldn't it be cool if... (fan suggestions) Thread - Awakening of the Rebellion 2.8 mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

Just wondering is there any ways that Lando could get a actual unit for ground combat? Since he was a General in the Rebellion it would be cool if he could participate in the fight. (FYI this request is based on 2.6. Not sure if 2.7 fixes this if it does then disregard lol)

This mod looks really good, I like the idea of making it more like Rebellion. I think it was an engine limitation but figured I'd check, were you able to make ships have persistent damage that lasts after a battle until it gets repaired? That way the fights mean more and it would add another layer of strategy. Also if the game pace could be slowed down to more like rebellion that would be awesome too. Also sure that this one is daydreaming but capturing ships would be awesome I seem to remember that being definitively being not doable. Shame because it seems that captures and defections would be a major source of ships for the rebels. Maybe there could be some event that simulates something like that.... say if certain conditions are met then maybe the rebel player some captured imperial ship, one other thing I thought I had read about was modding the the corruption feature to serve as something similar to the political support system in the old rebellion game... just saying.. that would be cool!

I would suggest air to ground weapons for ships that drop off troops and vehicles on planets.

Makes sense that they would provide cover fire, and reduces spawn point camping.

How about an ability for the rebellion that if an enemy ship has no shields and 50% hull integrity or lower that the alliance can use a gallofree transport (GR75) to capture it?

I would also suggest that reinforcements from headquarters come slower. It is much too easy to entrench by throwing unlimited bodies, like Russia.

I had a random idea while watching Rebels yesterday. Since the imperial transports are already seen in 2.7 carrying AT-ST's etc, what if there was a tier 1 ship that was one of those transports that launched 1-2 squads of TIE fighters like they are seen in Rebels? Just an idea.

finally in mode which proposes to us a stellar destroyer class Imperial 1 much more realistic than that proposed even if in reality this one had an armament composed of:
-60 turbolaser
- 60 ion battery
- 6 heavy turbolaser
- 2 heavy ion battery.
an armament which is always complicated to dispose. as armament of the battleship executor composer of:
- 2000 heavy turbolaser
- 2000 turbo laser
-250 launches missile to concussion
-250 ion batteries
- 500 laser cannon
It is clear that putting this weaponry on the battleship is almost impossible. But this is not to say that it must be as little armed as the basic version. After it is still an outstanding question every battleship or destroyer of the Empire: example the stellar destroyer of imperial class 1 owns troops as :
- 38000 soldiers
- 25 TB TT
- 50 TR TT
so will it be possible to have the same system, for example a class 1 stellar destroyer to invade a planet with the troops it contains.
My last question will be on the deathstar . It is clear that the strengths of these combat stations are indeed on the destruction of the planet, but they remain above all a very well equipped combat station either in terms of defense ( 25984 stormtrooper, 2500 turbolaser heavy ...) or the number of hunters (7200 tie ...) would it be possible to attack a station and invade a planet with a death star ?

I don't know if it is possible, but I'd love to be able to control when my fighters come out of their carriers. I don't know if you could make it similar to how the ground transports/bunkers load up infantry, and do that with fighters, being able to load them up into their carrier when there's a lot of anti-fighter ships around or leaving bombers inside until your interceptors have engaged the enemy fighters.

This mod is great, but i was really expecting units, characters and locations from the Rebels Tv Series, like the Ghost and E-XD infiltrator droid for example.

So I love this mod to bits and I made an acocunt just to tell you guys that and offer my input. I concur with Shadowfax above that Rebels tv series ships would be awesome. Could you please add the hammerheads from rebels and rogue one as a frigate, maybe 2 forward turbolasers and then anti fighter canons on the pods on the side or extra turbolasers. It would be awesome to see mc75's too like we got in Rogue one, even carrying two cr90's but no fighters.
On the subject of hero ships, there are four I would love to see: 1) Jun Sato in Phoenix Home (either pelta class or quasar) carrying 4 A-wings 2) The Ghost 3) could we get Hera in a stolen, repainted Lucrehulk as she appears in Doctor Aphra (issue 18 I think) as a heavy X-wing carrier. You could maybe strip a handful of weapons to balance it a little but it would give the rebels some real power in space combat. Finally, number 4 would be Admiral Raddus in the Profundity from Rogue One.
On the Imperial side we could see something cool like a hero Arquitens with Kallus commading it and then when he dies he defects to the Rebellion like in the series, becoming another stealth unit with a commando team maybe.
For the empire, a reskinned Thrawn in the Chimera would be awesome to see. We could also maybe get admiral Konstantine in an interdictor. I'm not an imperial so I haven't many other ideas for them honestly.
