  1. I wish the orbital strike looked like the orbital bombardment from Star Wars Empire at War, Forces of Corruption, except with increased projectile speed.
  2. For non-force users, Pellaeon is definitely first, followed by Han Solo and Wedge Antilles. For force users: Lightside is Jaina Solo, followed by the Skywalker family (Luke, Ben, and Mara) Darkside is definitely Darth Caedus, followed by Nihilus.
  3. So yeah, I suggest you add in the Jedi and Sith robes from the original Kotor. I always loved the Sith robes from that game and always wore them, regardless of what alignment I was going for. I feel like these robes would look awesome on both Warriors and Inquisitors (and Knights/Consulars for the Jedi robes). And think of the nostalgia these would produce for some people, such as myself, lol. Jedi: http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2003/xbox/kotor/0715/k_screen115.jpg Sith: http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/67/files2/89673_1.jpg (not the guy in the center, the guys in a circle around him.)
  4. Funny thing is, to me, those items look more like they dont belong in star wars than the other items and armor sets. Although I will admit the speeder looks cool, but still not star wars-ish.
  5. The light and dark sides are equal in power, its just that Sith tend to attempt to increase their own power any way they can, whereas Jedi are more concerned with protecting others. Although Sith individuals are often more powerful than Jedi individuals, more powerful does not mean more skilled. Jedi are often more skilled in the grey area abilities (such as telekinesis, lightsaber skills), because they're more willing to take the long road practicing what they have, instead of attempting to increase their raw power or acquiring more abilities. That is why you often see Jedi defeating Sith in lightsaber combat, because skill will often defeat brute strength and power.
  6. Although I've never used it myself, I've heard that the AoE damage that you get from the engineering spec is quite good at clearing out the trash mobs. Personally I always went with marksmanship, the marksmanship burst damage is the highest ranged burst in the game, if not the highest burst out of any class.
  7. Although I dont have much experience with either class (ive got both but both are at low levels) I would guess that its probably easier to solo stuff with a jugg since a lot of their tanking comes from armor and hp, and a lot of that will carry over into the dps skill trees.
  8. Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi are really good series, though you should read Legacy of the Force first if you want Fate of the Jedi to make pretty much any sense at all. The Darth Bane trilogy is quite interesting and a good read. The X-wing series is decent for anyone who likes to read about the more ordinary people (not jedi, obviously), as is the Republic Commando series. In my mind, the New Jedi Order series is pretty much the flagship series of the expanded universe (at least for the post-movie era), though it isnt required reading for anything else. Be warned, the NJO series is very long (19 books) and has a very dark storyline.
  9. I agree, what a lot of people defending the series dont seem to realize is that the series tramples all over a ton of stuff that was written about the clone wars, far before the series came out. Not to mention the written stuff interlocks with a large amount of the other written stuff from other periods, to the point that if you say the cartoon series is canon and the books that conflict with it arent, you've essentially just destroyed a lot of stuff that isnt even in that time period.
  10. Not to mention that delta is more likely to ambush MC, not the other way around, since an ambush is probably easier to set up with 4 than with 1.
  11. I would like to point out that one of the commandos threw himself on top of a live grenade and survived completely unharmed, with just a minor dent to his chestplate. One thing you also have to consider is that blasters are plasma weapons, not laser weapons. Also another one of the commandos survived unharmed against a flamethrower completely engulfing his armor. MC might be faster than the average human, but so is delta squad. The clones were genetically enhanced to be far more effective warriors than normal humans, and the commandos were enhanced even further. Not to mention, there's 4 of them, and only one MC. And, i know its off-topic, but just for the record, MC would have no chance against 4 of the Null ARCs.
  12. The difference between the lightside and darkside is that they are different kinds of power. Darkside power is mostly conflict-based. I say conflict and not combat because manipulation and power plays are also forms of conflict. Conflict-based power is the most easily visible, and as such, often the most tempting. Lightside power is, in a way, also based on conflict, but it is based on resolving conflict, not causing conflict. And the way that they resolve conflict is usually peacefully. Jedi tend to focus their powers towards diplomacy and problem solving, and when presented with a problem, the violent solution always comes last for them. Thus, the lower ranked jedi, such as padawans and knights, tend to have less combat prowess than their sith equivalents, especially against foes wielding lightsabers and force powers.. It is usually at the jedi master/sith lord level that they begin to even out in combat skills. Also, its important to note that the characters we talk about tend not to have the (relatively) unbiased views that we do.
  13. Not true actually, theres resistance whenever the blade touches or cuts though something. For example, in episode 1 when Qui-gon is cutting through the blast doors on the sep ship, he is visibly putting all of his strength into it.
  14. Ive got an sith assassin, deception (infiltration) is incredibly fun during warzones.
