I was recently in a ship battle and just observed everything in screen for a minute. The atmosphere in the battle was great as I was able to see ships fighting in the distance, gaseous clouds in space, little things that add so much to the game.
I just wanted to thank the devs who make these small but significant aesthetic improvements to the "universe" of the game. Really helps with immersion.
There have been numerous additions like this that, including numerous vibrant backdrops for battles, or something like a characters reflection on a metallic surface.
Bonus points to these guys(and hopefully a bonus check😉)
Great work!

I don't drink. I still like this game
Pessimist: "No it doesn't."
Star Wars Fan: "Han shot first."
End of negativity.
Unless you're one of those "Greedo Truthers" ugh...
When ships first came out I listened to that song for like half an hour. And speaking of the music, ever notice that they manage to find different songs for each map and play the different character themes when you star them up? I always blare my phone volume whenever I upgrade the stars on a toon. My favorites have been hermit yoda, Vader, maul, Grievous, thrawn, and whenever I level a Jedi. Some of them, however, have themes, but they play generic music for them upon leveling them up. Kylo and the rest of the first order have themes, but they aren’t used. I hope they add the battle music for Darth Malak, but if not the sith theme they currently have works great.
And then there’s all the completely unique animations that characters have for their attacks. GK, nihilus, Sion, dooku, Grievous, yoda, CLS, Rey, KRUM, revan, both bastillas, both ahsokas, and Vader all have completely unique animations for their basic attacks alone. Not to mention the blaster heroes like jango, Sabine, Rex, fives, han(s), and chewie(s) who have special animations. And then there’s all the stances that the characters have that reflect the way they look on the big screen. Vader holds his saber at his side, Luke holds his out in front (like on cloud city), royal guard hold his force pike like a rifle, qui gon holds his like he does when fighting maul (ataru stance, as shared with GMY), Kylo’s stance is like how he stood in the trailer for TFA, and Kanan and Ezra share stances and basic attack animations, showing that they both had the same training.
Whether or not all of these were completely intentional, they are all appreciated. Every character could have just as easily had the same blaster animation or had the same standard downward chop with the lightsaber, but the devs put in the effort to make everyone (or at least most of the characters) completely unique.
On the fleet screen, if you tap the monitor that shows the X-wings, it switches to a close-up of the band. I discovered this by mistakenly fat-fingering it. Just a cool little semi-hidden detail.
OMG, and when the view angle changes, the flying droid camera moves in sync with it. Too cool!
Not a marquee fan... But wow.
I can see big efforts for reproducing the ambient of KOTOR.
A lot of things in this game are bugging me...
But thumbs up for theses much appreciated " details "
And thank you to the devs for such an amazing job!
