I just bought the game yesterday and I was playing around on galactic conquest. Iowned the origional so I kinda know what I'm doing. But I noticed that even at ech leval 5 with a planet capable of building capital ships, I couldn't build B-wings or MC30s, the new rebel space units.
What do I have to do to build them? Is it something like I have to capture Mon Calamari? As the empire must do to Hongor to train Nohgri assasins?
There are certain planets you need to control in order to build certain ships. You will need Mon Calamari to unlock that tech tree. Its a great feature in the game!
It's possible that you've encountered the bug that does not allows Rebels to reach tech level 5; In this case, you'll need to install the patch to fix it.
