I like this but I wish there were Rebel and Imperial story campaigns. Also Mon Calamari really should have been included in the story campagin map IMO because committing Piracy there lets the Consortium build the Nebulon-B Frigate my favorite canon Star Wars ship. Also I wish the Starviper had been an advanced fighter rather the the Consortium's basic fighter because two of my three favorite Star Wars starfighters, the Novasword and the T-Wing are either from the OT er or the Prequel era and known to be used by pirates or bounty hunters so I wish one or both had been part of the Consortium fleet. Also I find it odd that in the Consortium Campagin they start with access to the tartan Patrol Cruiser. I understand why they don't have access to their Crusader Corvettes yet but of the other factions starting anti-fighter capital ships IMO them having CR90 Corvettes makes more sense because the CR90 is the most common Civilian capital size ship in the setting. In fact IMO the same reasons they don't have Crusader Corvettes at the beginning of the campagin can apply to the Starvipers as well so that's another reason for them to have a non-Mandalmotors starting fighter. The rebls gain the MC30C which is my favorite new ship in Empire at War so I disagree that they don't gain much in space.

Well, that's a lot to respond to - thanks for your comment! Regarding your last point, I agree I should have phrased it differently. Between the MC30c and the B-Wing, the Rebels do get some good capital ship killers. I'm just more interested in star destroyers/dreadnoughts than smaller ships

@@thecynicalgerman I'm the opposite. I use one Star Destroyer size vessel per task force, two for the Consortium sometimes. By typical Rebel Forces of Corruption has 1 MC80, 3 Assault Frigate IIs and an eight to sixteen ship mix of Nebulon-Bs and MC30Cs plus a couple of Corellian Gunships and Missile Corvettes. And that's not an unusual mix for me. Usually if my fleet in a game doesn't have tons of Frigates its because there's some rule limiting how many I can use (In which case I either still use a few, or as many as the game will allow depending on the nature of why I'm limited).or I haven't gained access to any yet In a 4X type game for example most of my larger then Frigate ships are either for flagship duty, carrier duty, or there are some weapons or gear too big to effectively mount on a Frigate which they are carrying.
