Looks purdy, is fun until you realize that teamwork doesn't actually exist, merely the illusion of it. Its just the same generic lone wolf gameplay done a million times + pitiful attempt at team play with the x2 battle points, officer and some heavy abilities…
That plus the loot boxes, which we've already bitched to death about.
(Sometimes I pretend to be an actual b1 battle droid and march slowly toward the enemy line with my standard issue blaster rifle in hand, busting filthy organics left and right. I then proceed to get in the top 5 of the scoreboard.)

Speaking of ISIS. A lot of nu-fans claim they hate the old lore mainly because of the Vong (and sexism, but that's another can of worms), but they hate them for all the wrong reasons, claiming that "they're obviously an offensive caricature of ISIS and Muslims written from the perspective of insensitive western males, so I'm glad Disney killed off Lucas's shit". There's even articles on the matter. http://archive.is/LUCKJ

Speaking of that mod, we're set to see the Eriadu Authority under Delvardus and the Greater Maldrood under Treuten Teradoc make their way to playable with the upcoming update, and maybe Zsinj as well. If not, then Zsinj's Empire and Blitzer Harrsk's Zero Command are next.

They'll be releasing their 2.2 update by the end of the month, final testing is ongoing right now. So get your foot in the door while you can.
AHA!
We are getting the Empire of that mustachioed maverick as a playable faction in 2.2. Counting him, we have
>The New Republic
>The Imperial Remnant (arguably the most significant in-game faction thanks to the Era System)
>The Pentastar Alignment of Powers
>Warlord Zsinj's Empire
>The Eriadu Authority
>The Greater Maldrood
>The Duskhan League (doesn't come out of isolation until later, of course)
>and finally The Empire of the Hand for some truly alien opponents
Eight playable factions in total, each with their own unique unit lists and playstyles. How do you like that?
Did I mention that he's also done a Sins of a Solar Empire version, and that he's working on a Fall of the Republic mod? Kriff yes we have somethings to look forward to.

For any CoH fans, there's a really good-looking Star Wars mod in the works for it. They just released their very first playable alpha. It's only infantry right now, balance is out the window, no vehicles or basebuilding, but it still looks really promising.

>Unfortunately, while most of the testing process has been going very smoothly and we've made a lot of headway, some people have started to report save crashes in the beta, so in the interest of making sure the mod is as stable as possible, we have decided to move back release by two weeks to April 12th in order to try to look into it more. We will continue running the beta off of our forums for the time being, so those who do want to help test can do so there.
>We're sorry for the delay, but we want to make sure once the release happens, it's as good and smooth as we can make it.

I'm staring at your flag right now. How do you play those blue bastards? Sure their ships can practically melt hardpoints and laugh off tons of individual hits with their shields… but they're made of paper once those go down. I had the humbling experience of watching a bunch of dreadnoughts and light cruisers tear Stent to pieces in moments.

tl;dr I just spam Ascendancy-class star destroyers and hyperspace them all around the enemy fleet with the help of a pathfinder ship. Individually the ships are weak so I counter that by spreading around as many as the pop cap allows to reduce the enemy's ability to focus them down. It almost feels unfair, but then again the remnant do have much bigger ships and several times the planets so I don't feel that bad.
I don't know if there's a lore reason to back this up but Empire of the Hand are all about numbers.

I had the misfortune of playing about 10 hours of this game over the past weekend.
Even after a fucking year of development this game is one-hundred-percent garbage. Absolute shit. The P2W aspects are largely removed but it doesn't even matter because the gameplay is so fucking shallow and repetitive. The TTK is so short that in most cases who wins a firefight relies entirely on who gets the first shot in. The balance is completely off. Character progression gives higher level players flat stat bonuses that set them above new players. Some star cards and abilities are explicitly better than others and some of them are overpowered to the point where you feel bad using them.
In many ways it feels worse than the last shitty Battlefront that EA put out, which is really fucking saying something. There is virtually nothing redeeming about this game.
People just want a Star Wars version of Battlefield - solid gunplay, fun vehicles, and huge combined arms maps that faithfully recreate the Star Wars setting - but that apparently is beyond the grasp of EA/DICE. Instead what they deliver is a visually appealing but completely soulless 70GB monstrosity with worse gameplay than a F2P Korean shooter from 2003. It plays and feels like a mobile game that somebody put in a PC game's skin.
Oh, I almost forgot - there's also the singleplayer campaign. EA/DICE, in their infinite wisdom, looked at their mostly-white-male customer demographic and decided that what the players REALLY want is to play as a distractingly ugly mystery-meat minority woman, whose dialogue and character development are frustratingly simplistic and entirely uncompelling. What's worse, they advertised the campaign as allowing players to experience the struggle between the Rebellion and the Empire from the Imperial perspective - which turns out to be a fucking lie because you switch sides about four missions in (proving once again that blacks, women, and especially black women are chronically disloyal and cannot be trusted). Racial concerns aside, the plot of the campaign is stupid beyond words and whoever wrote it should be fired. It makes no sense, feels rushed and is disappointing.
In closing, fuck EA and fuck DICE. They haven't made a good game in almost a decade and I expect all subsequent games from them to be even worse.
