What woud you like to see in games from Lucas Arts? I personally would love to see a RPG where you start out as a Cadet and work your way up the chain of command in the Empire (Or Rebellion for those wusses) and just take a large amount of paths. Join the Army and eventually lead it. Join the Navy and eventually Command it. I would love to see this in a game.

Finaly, someone who agrees with me, I love games like that, there a big challenge, and there a overall great game to have.

I'm thinking it'd be like a SW version of Silent Hunter 3 (Which I havn't played)

I love playing XWA.

only one problem....

I hate playing the Bad guys!

I would very much like a new XWA style game where I would be on the Good side... the Empire , of course.

There's a project to port TIE missions over to XWA, but that's about it (and Imperial Concourse).

Yes for to long we have had to suffer flying X-Wings for the alliance. I have only seen a copy of TIE once in my life if you want to feel old and I'm in college. I have never seen X-wing and I would prefer something more up-to-date than XvT to play as the Empire. It would be really cool if they would make something incorporating that part of EaW where you blow off sections of the ship like in the screenshots. Or Better yet liek that Star Trek game Bridge Commander. That would be fun to play as star wars. You can blow up sections of ships..of course it wouldnt be as much fun piloting a Star Destroyer since they arent as quick as a Star Trek ship but still you have reallly big guns. Whats that old game that incorporates that and land missions to launchign fighter and all.....Battlecruiser 3000AD i think it is. That but with real graphics and star wars would be a good one.

I want teh following Game:

You command a Star Destroyer. It gets involved in single ship missions and large fleet actions. You have overall command of everything on the ship, Weapons, Fighter deployments, Troop Deployments, everything.

But here's the beauty, you can take control of a TIE fighter if you want, you can lead your troops in true FPS fashion, using mission parameters you set yourself!!

You can resupply the ship anyway you want. Engage in some minor trading to earn money and buy a squadron of TIE Defenders for the ship.

You can move anywhere you want, like the old Elite game.

Basically i want a game in which you get complete control of an Imperial Star Destroyer (Any Model)

Sounds like fun.

Yes, that would be very fun because you could own up on people, and get T/A

Finally someone who agrees with me. That is probably the best idea for a game I've ever heard.

Actually my ideas go much further, as you may have guessed.

I want to be able to raid pirates, rebels and teh like. I want variables like if i jamm all comm's and capture/destroy all ships in an engagement then there is no knowledge of it outside of the ship.

I want something like Galaxies, except i have control of a SD. fully customizable (Pimp my ISD!!!) completly upgradeable (who says we cant put a gravity well in an ISD)

Has anyone played Star Fleet Command? Id like that type of game, but obviously with a much better interface and engine.

I proabably should get a navy based game, I always found them a good stradegy type game.

I would love an Elite- (or better, Frontier-) style game set in the SW galaxy. Start out with a Z-95 Headhunter, and trade your way up to a YT-2000; or become a bounty hunter; fly missions for the Empire or (if you're misguided) the Rebellion... Fly the Kessel Run... Visit Coruscant, Corellia, the Graveyard... Fly the Rimma Trade Spine... It has to be done, surely? And with all the extras you discussed, Draz. Hey, maybe if you earn enough you could get an ISD!?!

Also, I think there was a petition a while back to get LucasArts to do a sequel to TIE Fighter. (The theory goes, XWA is really a sequel to X-Wing, so why not a sequel to TIE?)

Either of these would do me fine!

Although that kind of game would be so ubelievably awesome and loads of fun, they'd never make it as its so much work and probably for not too massive an audience as not everyone appreciates such greatness as the Empire
