Campain questions....[Possible Spoilers]

[Splat762]

Okay I'm a bit aggrivated....

 

...why can't you build TIE fighters or research buildings while playing as the Empire on Campain mode? I can build shipyards but can only build Acclamators and Tartan cruisers....no option for TIE's, no option for research. Do you have to progress thru a certain part of the campain first? I'm on the Genonosis mission to gather resorces for the Death Star.

 

Help it's frustrating!!!

I dont think you can manually build small ships, you build cruisers and they have fighters in their bays, i think each Acclamator has 2 tie-fighter wings and 1 tie-bomber

[Splat762]

I thought that too but in the scrimish mode you can builld TIEs and TIE bombers individually...and on the Rebel side you can build X-wings and such seperate.

 

...and I still don't understand why I don't have an option to build a research lab in the campaign either.

cause it advances you automatically, the further in the camp you are, the further up the tech your travel... its like it advances time, so more missinos you do... time passes and unlocks new tech/levels

The skirmish is different then the campaign.

 

You can't build TIE's in the campaign.

 

Xwings Ywings an Awings are buildable though, since they aren't housed in capital ships

If you read the manual, or rather the foldout paper, it says the TIEs are not buildable, they spawn from carriers. The rebel fighters are buildable because they have hyperdrives so they can jump from planet to planet without trouble.
