Hi guys, first of all I would like to wish you a happy late Thanksgiving day. This update wont be as in depth or picture filled as the last one, but I'm sure gameplay lovers will like the idea.

Due to space requirements (the in-game command bar is too small to fit all units) I decided to use a new system that replaced the old vehicles with newer ones that fill the same role.

An example of this is the Imperial Victory Star Destroyer, (which is the Empire's level 1 capital ship) which is supplemented by the ISD MK.I but is not replaced. Once the ISD MK.II is unlocked, the system automatically locks the ISD MK.I, but the Victory SD is still usable since it has a different role in combat. At tech level 4 however, the Empire begins its usage of the Turbulent Star Destroyer, which is faster and more maneuverable, making it a great replacement for the VSD.

I'll give you a shortened Rebel Space Unit list so you guys get an idea of how this will affect gameplay:
