Ok lol this is my first post but i managed to stumble across this mod. Anyway, I agree with not putting too much effort, into the force itself. The force i would put in the religion section because in the star wars it is regarded as an 'old religion'. But it isnt the only religion there would only be two of them (Dark force, Light force), then the other religions would spin off other empire's philosphy/religion being No-Belief, polythiesm, self etc...
And look back at the other page, Final frotier is a good idea to put in, instead of having and invasion ship, it would be soldiers (clones,battledroids) that couldnt attack other spaceships and had no defence verse other spaceships, but huge bonus at attacking planets, then would be upgraded to better versian.
And seriously i would only focus on one era. at a time like lets say clone wars, the civs would be Wookie, Galactic Republic, Confederacy, Trade Federation, Mon Calamari, Mandolore, Hutts, Black sun, Trandosions, etc...

Does anyone happen to know what to download inorder to make units, mod, make maps or anylike that would be coolz to know other wise id have to figure it out myself
