    This is a continuation of my reply in the banner post.

    As some of you may have noticed lately (if your really into gaming mags, like me :D) Star Wars seems to be the franchise du-jour for mods. This is an important thing to be aware of. First; because it means that apparently copyright issues are no longer a limiting factor, and second; because it also means that with our mod already heavily in developement we’re perfectly positioned to capitalize on the building SW mod mania. That means lots of attention for our stuff :).

    It also means that it’s now more important than ever that we come up with a brilliant name for our mod. The “Star Wars EoC Mod” just isn’t going to cut it anymore. The floor is completely open on this but the name should be reflective of the mod in some way. I suggested Star Wars: Eternal Battles to reflect that our mod is mostly based around constantly replayable death-match type game play. It’s a start, but I think everyone needs to jump in and make suggestions.

    Regarding other mods; here’s something that caught my attention recently in PC GAMER. It shows you what kind of coverage SW mods are getting, along with an idea of how much work other people are putting into them. This is a trimmed verbetim quote from the mag copy:[quote]Do you know the difference between a Victory-class Star Destroyer Type I and Type II? If so . . . someone out there loves you.

    Someone like the makers of Star Wars: Warlords. Though it’s still in early beta, this Homeworld 2 mod already includes over 100 different Rebel and Imperial ships from the movies and the expanded universe, letting you re-create massive battles between fleets of every conceivable stripe. Pit Star Destroyers against Mon Calamari cruisers, with squadrons of A-Wings and X-Wings darting after TIE fighters and interceptors. And there’s really nothing quite like seeing your Super Star Destroyer dwarf the puny Rebel armada. The mod is “fully operational” at http://www.swrebellion.net/evillejedi

    I shouldn’t have any trouble getting us coverage, but first we need an operational name (and a website too, I would think). So let’s here those mod name suggestions! [8D]

    *edit*
    Here’s the running list of mod title suggestions:
