Given the ability to design troops now it is a pity that the tactical space combat section could not have been modified for ground combat too.
Of course, this would be so much more interesting if other games could be tied in to handle some of these areas. Droooooooool!
Have limited exp. using in ground combat in SE4 but the ship/troop design elements of SE4 are one of the things I like about it best. I do think it would be nice though if ground combat was handled in a similar way as space combat - perhaps with limited radmom generated land maps, and number of actual units consolidated i.e. each chasis stands for more then 1 actual unit.
Now the idea of other games being used to handle different aspects of combat is sweet. If I am not mistaken the old Breech games tied in with another game to handle ground/space combat in a similar manner. Now if we could get Shrapnel to tie SE4 and AOA:WDK2K together into one HUGE game that would be something. I realize the work that would involve but think (I know someone from Shrapnel is reading this) you could sell two games to a lot of people, I already own the one and pre-ordered the other. Now that would make for some really sweet and interesting Online play think of the possibilities...
