Build Ships Without Losing Energy:

----------------------------------

If you need more fleets, but your systems read low

or slots are out of available energy, change the

location of the construction to a neutral system

(it can be inhabited or uninhabited). The ship will

still have a cost in maintenance and refined points,

but it will save energy.

See What They See:

------------------

While in a battle, highlight any ship and hit Tab to

get first person view point of that ship.

How to keep Captured Characters From Escaping:

----------------------------------------------

When capturing enemies, it's always best to gang up on

them with several good "name" characters, like Han,

Luke, Madine, etc. Use a decoy. Have some (usually 2-3)

Infiltrators or Death Commandos standing by at your

return base. When you're successful, transfer the

prisoner with the Infiltrators/Commandos to the

FURTHEST POSSIBLE BASE from where you are. Try picking

a base with a big allotment of troop training facilities.

Once the troops arrive (R2 will announce because the

prisoner is a "character"), send them to another base

you've set up on the opposite side of the galaxy.

Try shooting for a base with similar qualities at least

100 days away. If you nab the Emperor or Vader, it might

be worth your while to put at least 12 Infiltrators with them.

Here's the trick:

-----------------

unless the destination is taken over by the enemy, the

secret mission is out of touch until it reaches it's

destination. With enough troops and SpecOps at the other

end, and with an immediate launch back to where they just

came from, they'll never escape. I've played games where

I've had 24 of the enemy's 30 characters "in transit" and

unable to escape (with 5 dead and only Vader eluding capture).

First person view:

------------------

Highlight a ship during a battle and press [Tab].

Easy Fighter Killing:

---------------------

This is for places like Coruscant where there are a lot

of fighters. Get a fleet really close to the enemy system.

This fleet should have 2 Corellian Corvettes and 1 Escort

Frigate (Nebulon B's if you have them) but NO FIGHTERS.

Jump into the enemy system and unpause. When the enemy

fighters start moving, pause and jump into hyperspace.

The fighters will have reached you and exchanged shots.

If you were quick enough they won't damage you but their

squad size will be reduced. Repeat as needed.

Fast start for the rebels:

--------------------------

The empire allways begins with a planet that supports the

rebellion, but is subjugated by a big garrison of ground

troops. if you gather a large fleet with several fighter

squadrons and put a commander with high leadership and

combat (Han Solo or Wedge Antilles) you can easily

blockade the planet. Then promote the commander to admiral

status. Then bombard the imperial miltary units. Once you

have destroyed all imperial units the planet automatically

joins the rebellion. Liberating the planet will cause the

rebellions popularity to skyrocket often causing several

neutral systems to join and imperial systems to uprise.

Then you can liberate the imperial system which are pro

rebels and soon you control the whole sector. I once

conquered an entire sector (sluissi) by day 34 using 2

corvette`s, and a fleet carrier carrying 4 Y-wing`s &

2 X-wing`s, commanded by Han Solo. P.S. You can prepare

for planetary shields by having a good spy, like Chewbacca

tagging along.

Take a planet:

--------------

First target an enemy system and bulid 8 either bulwark

battlecruisers or 8 super star deystroyers and commence

a planetary bombardment (which will deystroy all their

defenses) then invade the system with 12 or more regiments

(this should elimanate all chances of a uprising) then

continue to run diplomacy missions until the planet is

loyal to you.

Take a planet...the easy way:

-----------------------------

Chose a planet you wish to take over. Invade with a fleet

large enough to hold the system. Once you have a blockade

of the system bring a strong force character (jedi Luke or

vader) onto one of the ships. Send them to take out whatever

generals they have controlling ground forces. Once thats

done you can send them to take out the shields and defenses

as many times as necessary with very little risk to themselves.

After defenses are down you can incite uprising until they

turn to your side without losing any ground forces or wasting

time with diplomacy.

While playing the rebels send Luke via a correlian corvette to a neutral planet and sabotage whatever there is, mines, shields...after luke reachs combat value of 230-250 send spys to imperial planets and find darth vader. after finding him send luke to the same planet, the mission doesent matter. both of them will engage into combat and most case luke fails, but his values increase immidiatly to +10 combat +5 espionage as well as diplomacy. try to blockade the planet which is vader on, so you prevant him escape to another planet. it would be wise to eliminat ground troops and enemy generals so you can decrease the chance luke gets injured. you can either keep some other characters in your fleet in case luke gets captured. special troops will do well either. anyway, after while luke reachs combat value of 800 espionage 500 and diplomacy 300. and i mean before he goes to dagoba. after eturning from dagoba his attributes will much higher. when luke reach status jedi kni!

ght and is in the same place with leia, she learns to use the force, because she is as well a skywalker. her stats will increase nearly as quik as luke with the same method. in the end i got luke skywalker with these stats combat 2000 espionage 1400 diplomacy 550. leia: combat 800 espionage 400 diplomacy 900.

with these high stats every jedi training is a 100% succes as well increase the stats of the jedi student attributes very high. after a couple of training every of my student got over 400 combat 400 espionage as well high diplomacy ratings. after this luke is invincible, nothing can stop him, nearly every mission, dont matter how hard it is he will prevail, even if send alone to a heavily defended planet.

the same method will work with the emporer to, but in the earliyer stage it is hard to infiltrate courascant and the emporer hardly leaves his home planet but sometimes is just happened. so keep your eyes open.
