Taris is the hardest part of that side-quest, but it isn't impossible; you must gather all holocrons as quickly as you can to win, try buying bonuses...
You should have no problems completing the journey, once you have cleared Taris.

Found the Rogue Repulsor Trooper was a huge help on that one actually...

only to realize there were only 9 units left.

Well, if it really starts to annoy you there's always Set Team Reinforcements...


Finished the campaign yesterday. Tibrin and Taris lagged quite badly, even when I turned the graphics down, but that's just my slow computer. Otherwise it was really fun and a good use of a day.

It was a nice suprise to see Lord Starkiller (Sith Stalker) appear. The first time I saw him was Kashyyyk V.I.P in the middle of my sniper scope. I also liked seeing the AI landing transports, but it only seemed to work on Mon Calamari. On every other map I played they just fly around and crash into frigates as usual.

Are certain heros always paired? I've only ever fought Thermill when Fett is my hero, when Vader has appeared so has Bail Organa, and Marek and Jade seem to always end up together,as do Space Fett and Space Darklighter. Also, are certain heros more common than others. Vader turns up alot.

I've come across some bugs too. I can't switch teams or unlock the hero unit anymore (I could on the first two maps I played after downloading and on Space Mon Calamari which I played just after finishing the campaign) unless I use the Fake Console. This is happening in space maps and land maps. Also, on the Endor mission when you have to lead the rebel army to the bunker they just head south and wander off into the forest instead of following me.

Finally, is there a trick to the lightsaber combat? I've read the guide and can do force finishes (it took me a while to work out that Marek needs to do four heavy attacks rather than three to perform a force finish), but blocking is difficult and it's very hard to defeat Jedi without alot of charged lightning.

They only land in hangars in Space Mon Calamari.

As far as I know, no, they aren't.

That depends; refer to Mav's Day 1 countdown post for more info.

Marek's Force Finisher is on the third heavy attack, just like everyone else's. I used to have some difficulty with blocking/light attacks too, but then I assigned the right mouse button as my "block" key, took me a while to get used to the new controls but it worked great from then on. You should try that.

Edit: Mav, do you have plans for a Rebel Ops update that adds in the Dark Times II content?

Was that a bug or was it on purpose?

Oh, and can someoone tell me if the stormtrooper transport in Nar Shaddaa is an easter egg?

Stormtrooper transport? Where's that?

Can you do anything with it? Mavertichell's easter eggs tend to be things you do rather than see, such as fixing the Rebel Espionage Transmitter on Space Endor. If it's jsut a prop it's probably scenery. You see TIE fighters flying through the sky too.

Is there going to be an updated/amalgamated Sullust: Jedi Conclave? I've got two copies at the moment, the KotOR assault one and Dark Times II one, and I wondered if they might be released as one map, maybe with the KotOR Jedi/Sith units switched to the Dark Times dueling system.

Aw man... now I wish I had BF2 installed again...

is there any chance of someone making a dedicated server for this? (i woulde but my pcs rather slow for one) or will the server but up again today?

Grr... I hope its on during the evening, cause I won't be able online before that...

I noticed while I was doing the first mission, it wouldn't let me quit. I clicked quit and, it just restarted the battle . Don't think that's normal.

The tow cables do nothing.

EDIT: oops, missed the boat again.

They do work, they do exactly what they're supposed to do
and you missed Maveritchell announcement on Vace where he says that the tow cable will be a weapon, not a gadget.

When you shoot one into someone they pull the unit towards you.

How do you use the Force Grip power? All it does for me is make a unit hover in the air with its falling action for a second, then drop down nigh unharmed.

Force Grip is mainly to paralyze a unit for a moment to get in a few slashes. Then, when they get up again, you use it again and repeat until dead.

This works the best when you have host online.

It's Here...

It is also an unblockable combo breaker that doesn't kick your opponent far away like the Force Finisher might. Its real use is against other heroes in setting up an initial saber attack.

Do any of the powers use the choking animation? I thought Force Crush might (is that meaned to be Force Crush as in KotOR II?) but it just makes them drop dead.

HEY! I have an idea!!!! How about when the new force unleashed comes out, somebody (meaning the usual guys who do this) releases a map that mimics the first level (Kamino)

with a movie intro!!! That would be a dark times add on or something. The first dark times kind of did it, but imagine!

@MrCrayon

This goes in the idea thread .
