I posted this question in the thread about DB's Rolling Stone interview but deleted it as to not derail it. And geesh. Title should be "Empire not intended to be the galactic "bad guys?"
As I said there I guess my "surprise and take away" from the interview was all the Empire talk.
As a Federation guy I always thought and assumed that the Empire in ED was intended to be the galaxy's "bad guys" (and some of my least favorite Cmdr's here embrace it so that doesn't help) but after reading the interview my impression now was that it was not intended or the game plan and that ED's Empire is supposed to be a clone of the Roman Republic/Empire to give the game more flavor and nuance?
Or am I reading too much into the interview?
