Shame Star Wars can't even make it's games from scratch anymore, I'd much rather a custom engine built for Star wars than what is in essence a corporate mod.

Ever play Galactic Battlegrounds? It was just a reskined AOEII game, it was a great game, but it's not like they never did this before. I have hope. 

why make them XQ? right now they serve a purpose as trade platforms. If anything the small factory from the skirmish mode would be better. 

Yeah, it's the implied skill level that I have a problem with.  Luke and Wedge both end up with Pilot 5 - that's the undisputed best in the galaxy.  I've tried to be fairly restrained with the 5s I hand out, so anyone a cut below Wedge or Luke gets a 4.  Narra, for example, he's a 4.  Chewbacca is a 4 - Han is described as the better pilot.  In the broader sense (outside the given comic), Leia doesn't come close to 5 or even 4.  I could see her at 2 or 3, comparable with Ackbar and Lando.  For the sake of argument, Pilot skill is not intended to reflect inherent Force ability.

this is my issue with it as well, no one ever said she cant fly an X-wing, but doing it with this level is kinda ludicrous. Maybe stick her at a 2 and then just give the squadron galactic stealth?

Yeah, I really don't see a good reason why Leia couldn't be a starfighter pilot.

because when everyone can do everything it becomes redundant and diminishes characters like wedge, who ARE pilots. Thats one of the few things i disliked about the rouge squadron books, which they adressed in the wrath squadron series, good pilots =/= good commandos.

but... cannon... sigh... Its established she can pilot a yacht and MAYBE she could flie an x-wing, but not at such a skill level...
