Galactic Conquest Mode

This is a really great idea. I haven't played star wars galactic battlegrounds, but battle for middle earth 2 has war of the ring which is essentially the same thing you have territories on a map of middle earth belonging to each faction each has plots to build resource / unit production / fortress. You get hero armies and they can be combined and used to attack other territories which then takes you into the rts portion of fighting the battle. Then your remaining forces after the battle become part of your standing army to move about to other territories.

This is very fitting for fleetops though would take a lot of work and I'm not sure how the hell you'd get the galactic map to work as I've no clue how anyone would implement it.

Yeah it could all be scripted text.
And the AI could be scripted in theory, because it only needs to select one of say 4 planets at the start to invade. So basically, you just need to program it's route.

yep, multiplayer campaigns like that are lurking in the background of my head for a while now. but at the moment we do neither have the possibility code-wise, nor the capacity to do something like that
