I'm trying to make a Map that doesn't crash. In the meantime you should play custom games only, because the prebuilt Map crashes every time at 2300.06.something.

Great mod! In my game sometimes pirates deal with themselves to attack some empire - for instance "The Dark Moon Interstellar have made a secret deal with a pirate faction, the Dark Moon Interstellar, to attack ships and bases of Imperial Chiss Realm!" and so on. Also for some reason population grown is really really slow 1-2%.

I wanted to stop in and thank you also for your hard work! :) I'm a noob at this game, but the Star Wars mod is helping me get into it and learn it.

BTW, in case you're interested, I have a lot of star wars music tracks that I could donate to this mod. I've been using them and it really adds to the immersion.

Looks like a really good mod, except for the characters. Alot of them are dead long before the events of the new republic. If your going to include dead people, how can you not include Revan? I mean Nihilus is probably one of the most epic sith lords ever...but still...No Revan?

Yes, if you have some good star wars music tracks they could work well. I chose to not include some of them because they were too aimed at movies, and too specific for particular scenes (like the Duel of the Fates) .
But maybe you have something that I didn't find, so don't hesitate to send me PMs with them! [;)]

I was in the process of expanding the number of characters for the Mod, and I thought of characters that I would've liked to be included. For some strange reason I didn't think of Revan, which actually is my favourite character of all the EU...
I'll certainly put him in the next release.
Of course it's not historically accurate to include someone like Aayla Secura or Greedo, but afterall Lucasfilm did resurrect Maul for the Clone Wars, and there aren't enough good characters for Twi'leks and Rodians in that time period, so...

And also, there really aren't solid proofs, at the moment, about the death of Ahsoka Tano ( the "The Clone Wars" tv show didn't show her dead ), Darth Maul ( same ), Grand Admiral Thrawn ( he died inside his own starship, so no one can really be sure that he's dead ), and Jabba ( he could have pretended to be dead when Leia strangled him ).
...

For Darth Nihilus and Darth Malgus, let's just say that they were resurrected by Sith magic.
Magic can solve any plot holes, just like time travels [:D]

That's a strange bug, I don't know what can cause that... As for the population growth I think it's just because I set the Research Cost at Expensive in that Map, to make the game last longer.
You can try with a custom game to see if it's still slow with the Research Cost set at Cheap.

What's up with the systems with multiple 100% quality planets with planetless star names?

I started playing through this and so far it is GREAT work.
I am not sure if this is a bug or a glitch of the installation but, playing as the Chiss I am starting with the Keskudon PDU with a maintenance of 3600 and a defense value far below the Kiadan strike trooper making it a pointless unit.

As for characters I fell like the whole thing should eventually include all characters then we can guilt you into making a map that starts pre Episode I so I can destroy Naboo and those pesky Gungan before they screw up the epic ;)

Ehm... These are not the planets you are looking for. *waves hands*

Lol, poor Gungans [:D]
As for the Chiss, do you mean that instead of the Chiss image you get the Keskudon one? If you're just referring to the units, I don't know, I didn't edit those, so maybe it's a problem in the Expanded Mod by Haree78. [&:]
Anyway thank you for reporting the problem, and also for the compliments [:)]

This is awesome. I have downloaded and installed and have started playing. Nice job. Looking forward to any future revisions or additions. I'm not a modder (except low level) but enjoy the variety you've managed to create.

When I start the game as the New Republic, the ships that are given to me automatically at the very beginning have hyperdrives, these ships are currently above the tech level that you start out with, because when my empire automatically builds private cargo ships or when I build other military ships, they lack hyperdrives and other advanced technologies. Is this normal?

Do not use the Clone Wars TV show as legitimate source of Star Wars information please xD
