Co-op PVE in custom SW squadrons games

Not sure if devs are all over this anyway, but it would be cool if there are co-op PVE options in custom games when that feature arrives. Bots AI certainly seems good enough to make it worthwhile, it would just need the option to have no players on one side and then fill with bots. Depending on the features of custom, we could then design our own mini campaign missions (defend/escort the frigate, dogfight, assault star destroyer etc). Would give co-op players lots more options and a great place to practice.


I have no problem with this earning zero xp to avoid anyone exploiting.

Loving the game overall (including pvp) I just really like co-op.

    @GhandiMcNab I was thinking they should make a showdown between Vanguard Squadron and Titan Squadron. The player can choose which side he wants to support, and you can play again to see the different endings.

    @GhandiMcNab I do wish that games like this (and battlefront) had a way to earn things offline. maybe if you were required to set it to a certain difficulty or something.

    Yeah, I agree. I just suggested zero xp in case people exploiting custom mode to farm xp would be a barrier to co-op happening at all. I’d prefer to get a bit that way. I know some people get very worried at reducing the base of pvp players, but surely better to keep people in the game playing co-op and maybe the odd bit of pvp than lose them altogether?

    Its a fairly hardcore pvp game (though immensely fun) so I can imagine fleet battles being a pretty fierce learning curve for time poor gamers who still love to fly x-wings. 

    (And I’m biased as my best mate is a time poor gamer and I really want to fly wing for him, but not sure fleet battles will be the most positive intro without some practice)

    I remember reading that you will be able to add AI in the customer servers and I hope they actually give us the freedom to build proper maps with terrain and obstacles etc. That would be awesome.
