Like KingZope up there, I have been a GC player a long time ago. Played quite a bit of the Battle of Hoth map on the net. I would always get owned, of course, but it was fantastic nonetheless, ah the memories. So you could say I was an original GC player.

When I found out about First Strike among the first announcements, I was just.....really happy. I've always loved Star Wars on a grand scale like you guys have made it.

When playing GC long ago, when there were more of the developers around, I loved seeing blaster fire zoom across the plains of the surface of Hoth or exchanging in tight corridors of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Seeing X-wings and TIE Fighters duke it out in space as I'm manning a laser defense turret on a capital ship. Y'know, the works? The immersion that First Strike brought is just breathtaking. I feel like I am back in the good 'ol days of GC, but in a much more modern era. Sure, I love the Battlefront 1 and 2 games, but there's something that's missing in those two games by Pandemic. The team here brought back the thing I love most about Star Wars. The immersion of being on a grand battlefield. Sure it's fun in other games being a main character, such as Luke Skywalker, but look to the men and women other than him. The brave Rebel soldiers that fought along side him. The ones who helped make those operations possible. Look to the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. and TIE Pilots who assisted Vader in fighting the Rebellion. The forces on both sides who can also make a difference, not just the main heroes of the saga.

I've registered here awhile back. I did share a few ideas and suggestions awhile back, but...they weren't entirely ideas you guys were going for. And that's understandable. Looking back at my suggestions, I wouldn't go for those anyways, because you fine lot are trying to capture the full feeling of the Galactic Civil War...in which this mod was all about...not the Clone Wars as I had so blindly suggested. Everyone these days go for the Clone Wars, but they forget that the Saga started with the original trilogy. The feeling you all are trying to capture on a fantastic scope and are definitely succeeding with.

My truthful compliments aside, I realized something. I should really get back into playing online. You guys looking to have another player? I could supply my name(s) in-game if you all want. Just to tally another FS player to play with online.

KingZope, I hope this isn't seen as hijacking. Just thought I'd relate my thoughts along side yours, since we probably played GC on the same server at one point.
