Come oooonnn, you can do it. :P

At the start, move ALL of your forces to the eastern camp. The only company you should have there are speeder bikes and a VERY occassional AT-ST. If a rancor is there, have the humans take it out.

Set up, then use humans and/or jawas to grab the western camp and the southern (if you lost it to Boba Fett). At the eastern camp, start bringing in your reinforcements. (As Buzz mentioned about space battles, Han and Chewie are good to have). When you're set up, attack the imperials from the North and make sure the shield generator goes down. Have Chewie jack the AT-AT and gg.

above all, make sure you go for the shield generator. I was able to take down the space station in like 1 minute

Argh... that was...mean... to put all the features only in the full version grayed out. I could probably normally buy it with my birthday money, but we'd have to buy a new hard drive too. :( The demo is fun though. :) I haven't beaten the single player thing because I CAN'T SAVE IT! :mad:

I found a mod for this demo that allows you to use a Super Star Destroyer, which is awesome. After unsuccessfully trying to locate it again, I can say that it's somewhere in www.eawfiles.com.

My suggestion for you is this, scrap your ground troops so you can have additional space forces. Put Han and Chewie in the fleet so you'll have the Falcon. I think I only used a max of 6 X-wings and 6 Y-wings, and I've tried it using 3 Frigates. I actually had 4 but one couldn't come in until I had lost one of the frigates.

Have your x-wings and the Falcon take out fighters and bombers. Use your Y-Wings to take out the Vic and the other capital ship. Send the frigates in after you have knocked out one of the shields on the ships which shouldn't be too hard with the ion cannons. After the ships are out just go all out on the station with everything. Send X-wings or the Falcon to deal with any TIEs that get too close or harrass you.

Played it once, beat it. Went after it a second time and on the ground part, Boba Fett walks right up to my platoon (before I even got reinforcements in) and rapes all my troops with a flamethrower. :/

Bastard.

You don't need to only target the hard points to kill the thing. You can just not click on anything and it'll attack by itself.

7 squadrons of xwing + s foils locked + shield generator + 7 y wings = a unhappy space station.

Yes, I know, and they'll destroy all hard-points (even if you don't click them) one by one, and after that, they'll leave teh hangar alive. The space station remains alive, and it'll keep shooting TIEs at you, but you can't target the hangar by itself and it becomes impossible to target the station either.

So, yeah, what do I do, in this case?

I already tried around 20 times (in various difficulties) but the problem remains the same.

How the hell do you destroy that base?

I can't target the last hard point, which is the hangar. Does anyone else have this problem? And if you do, have any solution?

I believe you can target a space station's hull as well not just the hard points.

I think that the cinematic feature is pretty cool for battles that you have essentially set up to be finished off. Not the best thing to use when you're attempting to manage all of the battle though so it might not get as much use. If you could still direct the battle during it would be nice, for a minor shift in orders.

Downloaded it ages ago...

Downloaded it, played it, got pwned... put it down. I'll get it when it comes out though, looks good.

The game seems to direct its graphics towards the pc it's played on.

the screenies all look good, but when I play it, it looks like Force Commander :P

Nevertheless, I liked it, besides some annoying bugs, like trying to destroy a space station when you can't target the last part to destroy.
