PFF 5 Questions Answered

[popcorn2008]

Delphi-PG has just answered the questions that the PFF have asked and here are his responces. Boy this sure has been one big news day

1.Can the Defender summon reinforcements?? If they cannot how will they be able to defend against the invading force who will most likely have wave after wave of units with them in space.

 

Delphi – No, it will be up to the defender to place the appropriate troops on the planet for defense. Also, the defender has defensive structures readily available that can help hold off an attack.

2.Please Describe the ways that the Imperials and Rebels aquire information about each other's planets. EG. How are Probe Droids Built, deployed and where is the information displayed. Can the Rebels therefore prevent the completion of this mission? What do the rebels have as an equivalent to this?

Delphi – Both sides have access to units that have unique stealth abilities (i.e probe droids, bounty hunters, etc). These units will allow the player to spy on their opponent at any given time. Information about fleet and ground positions is revealed when the spy unit enters orbit. Of course, these units can be detected and eliminated.

3.In the last preview it is mentioned that 4-5 rebel ships can go through a Imperial blockade and land troops on the ground.

How far does this tactic work for both sides?? And how well does the AI integrate this tactic into the general scheme of things?

Delphi – The tactic is called “raiding.” It is specific only to the Rebels. The AI will assess the situation and raid when strategic opportunity presents itself.

4.Will the weather keep on changing or will there be one weather event for every planet? => IE Raining on Dagobah. Also will the buildings change appearance according to the weather?

Delphi – Weather is random, so battlefield conditions can change at any given moment. As for the structure appearance, they don’t change drastically, but you will notice small subtle changes.

5. In the last preview it is mentioned that only 10 units can be kept on a planet at any time. If you build more they will have to wait in orbit/space since there is no more room on the planet.

- What will the transports do when the enemy is attacking the space map of that planet? Run? Hide? Or are they conscripted and used as part of the planet's defense?=> Cannon Fodder

Delphi – Ground units will be stuck in their transports during space tactical. The player will have to move them to a more defensive position for protection. Rarely do you ever find an enemy player with hordes of units above a planet.

I agree shadows, it nearly isnt as detailed as Darth Torpid was. Im mainly wanting to know if there is a way to prevent probe droids and other stealth units from entering your planet in order to gather the information requested.

 

I see you automatically insert "im not complaining". It's okay to complain constructively Scratch that... lol its okay to debate constuctively not complain per say.

the way i under stand it is, it stays in galactic mode after sinding a probe droid or c-3pio/r2-d2, and then you can examine that planet like you can examane your own planets. to keep them from sending the info, you need a boanty hunter in that system.
