This game actually f*cking sucks
Like the game turned off autosave for no reason, now the game just crashed and I have to lose 2 hours of progress into my campaign because it turned off autosave. I KNOW it was turned off, but I couldn't do anything about it, espesically because saving takes a solid 2 minutes.

Also, what ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thought up of the genius idea that the rebellion ships can't bring in starcraft?
Let's do some math. The rebellion gets 25 units in their battles, compared to the Empire's 20.
If the Empire fields 5 Imperial Star Destroyers, each ISD brings in like 5 squads of TIE fighters and bombs, EACH.
If the Rebellion fields 5 MonCal cruisers, they only have 5 spots left for Y-wings and X-wings.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense now, does it?
On top of that, the AI can usually field like 50 units in space, almost like they have no unit caps whatsoever.

This game blows.

What? No.
IIRC X-Wings are stronger than TIEs on a one on one level though. Also I don't think fielding a Mon Cal for every ISD is really an adequate strategy. Mon Cals are more about durability than anything, I think the extra population would be better put to use ensuring your bombers are uninterrupted while they take down the ISD shields.

Balance is a bit off, granted.

But everything else sounds less like the game sucking and more like game issues. Not saying its your fault but it does not really mean a game is bad.

Take the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games. VERY FUN, but pretty buggy and unstable.

Do you know why autosave was disabled? Or do you want to just complain complain complain without doing any research or giving the dev team any credit?

And why do you keep playing if the game is so trash? You've been posting about how trash this game is for weeks now, but your profile still says you play the crap out of this game. The irony.

My very first fan.
Why, do you know how to turn on autosave, ♥♥♥♥♥♥?
If it inflates your ego so much to call me your "fan", then so be it; I am everything but your fan.

Autosave was disabled because when using mods with a lot of additions and complexities, autosaving would freeze the game for 5-10 minutes in some cases. It was an "unnecessary drag" if you will and there were hundreds of requests right here on the Steam forums to disable the autosave. If the game were under active development, I'd say you might have a valid complaint if you weren't a toxic pile of garbage about it. But fact is, the game is way passed support stages and we're lucky to even have a Petroglyph developer active here--much less listening to us and getting updates pushed out.

Autosave was previously active for me, it would save before every battle, so it was turned off recently.
Sorry bud.
Yes well the world doesn't revolve around you now does it?

Your calling a game ♥♥♥♥ because it does not have autosave, first world problems friend.

And Nikomer agrument is not inert because majority rules. People did not want autosave, they got rid of autosave.

There are alot of games that get switched for the worst because of this rule, many I hate. I wish they would make these changes optional, they often don't.

Is there no way to turn autosave back on?(asking because this was never a problem, I didn't even know they turned it off)

The great thing about the Internet is that you're allowed to be a imbecile, so I guess you've got that going for ya.

Your only valid complaint is that the balancing is off, you didn't even really make a good argument to it either.

Who the hell brings in 5 mon cal crusiers to fight? Rebels need to establish fighter superiority. using mon cals you are literally fighting on the empires field, you will lose.

If you can use corvettes to quell initial fighter rush and then keep them pinned with X and A wings its more or less your win. Even if the enemy has corvettes B wings can burn them down before too much damage is taken, at which point your just waiting for the enemy to be killed by a thousand cuts.

You jump to insults from a drop of a hat and complain about an INCONVENIENCE at best. Ironic you calling others retarded.
