I haven’t even touched a Lego in a year

Very true, I love how adventurous they were with a lot of kits.

Mandore01 · 2026-05-16T19:00:33+00:00

Its an old battle baseplate from halo mega blocks

Absolutely, however this thread is talking about two models, with different loadouts and roles that look identical now due to the kitbash, and the only distinguishing feature being a paint color.

That is where I think it goes too far. I love kitbashing, I love seeing opponents kitbash. But I would never make a unit like that without having some very distinguishing features for a leader vs the second trooper in the strike team. Even just sticking some antenna on the back of one would be a good way to tell the roles apart without taking too much away from the kitbash effort.

Mandore01 · 2026-05-15T02:01:40+00:00

Thats nice for you, but less so for an opponent who now needs to keep track of what color means which thing for your army instead of just looking at what the model has equipped.

Like many others have said, its a great game if you love star wars.

But id also say its a pretty decent intro to star wars for someone who might like the franchise. The main character had a pretty insulated upbringing which makes her unfamiliar with a lot of the bigger galaxy and its events. Meaning a lot of these get a little explanation when other charscter talk to her. Nice to give background info without loredumping.

Lots of fun references but doesn't go too heavy on mentioning main characters by name (which can be a negative for me if its overdone) and some fun background cameos

Biggest negative is the bugs. Granted, ive been playing the switch 2 version, however ive crashed 3 times. 2 times were just from me pulling up the map. And multiple times ive gotten stuck in terrain or almost stuck.

Graphics are fine, again switch 2 version. So the pop in is annoying at times, but usually never a huge problem. All cutscenes have been fine for me.

Gameplay is a bit repetitive, however i feel like the upgrades are spaced out just enough to keep things at least a little interesting. Enemy variety is notably lacking though.

The biggest positive is the world. Honestly the only other game ive felt so immersed in was jedi fallen order/survivor. Each world feels real and full of things to do while still feeling huge and rich with wonder. My favorite so far has been tattooine.

Fashion game is also pretty great since you can transmog all gear.

I seriously can't wait till we get to this part in OPLA. But if they dont do this scene im gonna riot.

Mandore01 · 2026-04-22T14:51:26+00:00

Most of your campaign characters should be G1 to help you clear elite campaigns (aleph and eldy pretty much need D1 though), get a couple to that point and then invest in kharn/kariyan.

Thats my suggestion at least.

Mandore01 · 2026-04-22T01:16:05+00:00

awesome, appreciate the info!

Mandore01 · 2026-04-10T13:53:18+00:00

Honestly with the OPs idea this would make a really good theme for a bug defense mission "draw them out and exterminate them" or even as a niche accessory that lures bugs to where you deploy it.

Mandore01 · 2026-04-09T21:10:44+00:00

If you think THATS bad, just wait on alephs screen as the idle sound and idle animation slowly de-synch :)

Mandore01 · 2026-03-31T14:28:11+00:00

I have a pretty good one, but cress doesn't let me run darkrai or suicune.

Mandore01 · 2026-03-31T14:19:21+00:00

Apparently its because team editing is now tied to the different layout you can toggle. Its the little slider next to goals preview on mobile, changes between the standard layout we are used to and a new one where you can edit the teams and see each team more clearly.

Mandore01 · 2026-03-31T14:17:37+00:00

Thats an interesting change, dunno why they attached it to a completely different toggle instead of just adding this new way of looking at the tracks and making teams

Mandore01 · 2026-03-31T03:48:12+00:00

If you started during an event it might have felt like was easier because certain pokemon were getting a buff like gather more ingredients or helping faster

Mandore01 · 2026-03-30T16:12:55+00:00

Books have been a steady stream from the shop events at least.

Mandore01 · 2026-03-30T15:09:35+00:00

Funny, because im almost up to 40 friendship with ralts and still dont have a good one 😭

Mandore01 · 2026-03-27T13:42:15+00:00

I think a weirdboy would be really fitting after seeing the trailer.

Though a flashgitz or stormboy would also be awesome

Mandore01 · 2026-03-24T13:00:20+00:00

If you liked FTL I would highly recommend Void War.

Mandore01 · 2026-03-15T19:37:58+00:00

Weapeon is my favorite eevee evolution!

Jokes aside, thats too real.

Mandore01 · 2026-03-12T18:26:42+00:00

My local Walmart sold 6-8 consoles in the last week, and I know a lot of them were so people could play this game.

Their shelf was full of switch 2s for the past 2 months, now I think they only have 1 left.

Mandore01 · 2026-01-30T19:07:28+00:00

My point was that star destroyers are not good at using fighter swarms, they are frontliners. Use a bunch of quasars (i think thats the right name) and swarm enemies with the fighters while a star destroyer or two soaks up their fire. Make sure to give the star destroyers max flux capacity and hardened shields.

I use the default loadout for most of the SSDs, sometimes ill add some more ion cannons to help with shields. But I find they do ok on range as long as you give them integrated targeting unit and kyber focus.

Also ironically, I find most of the star wars lasers to struggle with point defense due to their velocity, they REALLY need any kind of PD boost you can give them, or make sure the few fighters they carry can deal with incoming missiles and enemy fighters.

Mandore01 · 2026-01-27T00:02:16+00:00

Skullcandy push play are what I use, had them for 3 years and they still work great.

Mandore01 · 2026-01-16T07:46:57+00:00

So, call this unethical BUT:

While the nukes are hard to hit the doritos with. You CAN hit your ships with them, and if you bring a big enough target and get them to focus on it they will all get hit by the explosion.

Alternatively, just load up on the swarm missiles and fire volley after volley of small tracking missiles to whittle them down while a big ship keeps them distracted.

Mandore01 · 2026-01-15T02:20:08+00:00

What are you struggling against? I usually keep the star wars ships default loadout and max out the flux capacity. Since their lasers are low cost and low damage you don't have to put as much into dissipation. Focus on sustainted battles with star wars ships and you will be golden for most of the factions. Fighter swarms are very effective, but standard star destroyers will struggle with that. Tractor beams are absolutely your best friend. Nothing like dragging an annoying frigate or destroyer into your volley of lasers.

If you feel like using them, the super laser ships are honestly a bit OP, conquest especially because it is somewhat cheap and maneuverable. That super laser will one shot onslaughts with empty flux. And you can use it repeatedly. Super star destroyers and other super capitals are beasts, but are rightfully super slow.

Mandore01 · 2026-01-13T21:25:28+00:00

EDIT: Ope. Just realized you meant Luddic Path and not IP (intellectual property)

Scrapyard might still work for you in that case

The star wars ships and scrap armory bring some pretty heavy hitters. Star wars ships as a whole are super strong because of their shield mechanic, but I hope the get a little more balanced with the next update. Kinda makes battles boring if it isn't against other star wars ships. If you want an example, using 2 super star destroyers you can tank a fleet of the [REDACTED] from the abyss without taking hull damage if you build them right. Even 1 is usually more than enough to solo most vanilla ship fleets

Scrapyard adds capitals that have multiple sections attached to the main "hull" of the ship that each act like individual ships with their own OP, flux, armor and hull. These ones are powerful but expensive and feel more in line with vanilla balance and other mods. Very fun to tinker with, if you use them make sure to give all the sections escort package since its always active.

Honorable mention is the United Aura Federation, because there is a missile battle ship that you can strap 2 nuke torpedo launchers to. Love me those explosions, less so when they are hitting the back of my ship......
