If you were to scale down the units, would it be possible to increse the number of units in a squad? Having 10 TIE Maulers instead of 5, or 2 AT-ATs per squad? Just to give the battles a more epic feel?
So PR, will the Planetary Turbolaser be able to destroy a star destroyer in a single shot?
Being able to destroy an ISD in orbit is very different from being able to do it in one shot. That's the sort of thing that would spark a massive improvement in shielding technology.
Does this help with the lag too? Sounds like it would, given that the AI is no longer struggling with stuff that doesn't exist, or works differently. And going from 2 AI's that don't work to one that does has to be good for our RAM and CPU cycles.
