This is an awesome article, even if you're one of those people that aren't really interested in science fiction (like me), it basically talks about how, if we did start having battles in space, what they would really be like. What the weapons, spacecraft would be like, even how we Humans would cope with it all. It's a long read, but a good one.

I'll have to read that later, got to the end of the second section but it kept going on and on!

Pretty interesting though.

Nicely thought out

My only tiff is that it's limited to our current technology for a good part, who knows what leaps and bounds we might achieve.

Battlefront II owns

Have it, beat it, got everything Legendary, and it's still fun.

Helps with situational awareness I guess.

Some are still first person though, like the AT-AT, and others have the turrets in first person. Wouldn't mind the option however.

What's your favorite Jedi? I personally like Ayla Securra and Darth Maul

I find your lack of faith disturbing

The History Channel or NG had a show called Star Wars Tech that seperated fact from fiction similar to the article.

What happened with Star Wars battlefront III?

I think I remember seeing leaked development videos by a programmer, and then the whole project went up in smoke.

It looked great though. Would love to see a third game developed.

I'd always pass on the jedi, I was more lethal as a soldier, why break my killstreak?

and aussie, the studio developing III got liquidated, and the tech was scrapped.

It's a shame, I was looking forward to it. Hopefully someone will eventually try again.
