1. Sounds good. What NPCs will be controling the planets? Will we get back the old canon NPC factions or will the Overlord create some smaller NPCs for the planets? Say Droormund Kaas is added to the game, will it be controlled by SWTOR's Sith Empire or a new NPC?
2. Honestly seeing how 3.0(?) will be a lot denser with much more happening in a much shorter time frame, Id prefer having even longer weeks. Perhaps we could have 2 game phases: first we'd have a preparation phase where we assemble our forces, gather recon, establish intel etc where we use 2 rl days=1 in game day. This phase would last 1-2 in-game weeks. Than we'd have the war phase where the factions are let loose upon another and we'd have much longer in-game weeks to give us time to really debate the battles in-depth.
3. and 4. Definetely in favor of the resource changes you proposed Star. Personally Id also prefer a system similar to the Kaggath, where we start with a complete fleet and army and the units we produce on planets act more as reinforcements, replacements or specialised additions to our forces, instead of ceating our forces during the game it self. Also Id love to start with player-designed ships, vehicles and troops, as long as they are deemed balanced by the Overlord and other players.
5. In favor.
