lukeiamyourdad Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 For God's sakes Windu, don't call it an airborne AT-AT...don't... Let's find a way to settle this quickly. Most elders migt be pissed by another gunship thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I thought "Air Cruisers" where the "AT ATs of the sky." If it's gonna be anything like the AC, I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Windu keep your ideas to your own post this is not a thread where you can compare your ideas to vostok. They were not shielded and is far from being as powerful as an AT AT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I guess we are putting more attention into Vostok's template then his... I guess you guys don't undertand. In the time of the Great Evil Gunship thread, Windu used to talk about the Gunship as an airborne assault mech(I could be wrong my memory is fading). We don't want anyone ever calling the Gunship AT-AT of the sky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 LOL I just found out gunship has 7 lasers 4 cannon lasers and 3 light turrent lasers So they are a strong aircraft. Ohhhhh and the Confed pulse cannon thing is also great vs fighters I just found out that droids fired it at the gunships which use to through it out of control or destroy it in the air.

Darth Windu Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Phreak - no, it's not like the SWGB Air Cruiser Luke - i mentioned that it was an 'airborne AT-AT' because it forms the nucleus of any Republic assault, and has comparable firepower. The Gunship has the unique ability to land infantry into a hot LZ, then perform CAS for those infantry for the duration or until they are shot down.

Admiral Vostok Posted November 1, 2003 Author Share Posted November 1, 2003 It shouldn't be anything like an AT-AT. - AT-ATs have very strong armour and heaps of hit points. Gunships have very weak armour and few hit points. - AT-ATs have a huge range with a powerful area effect blast. Gunships have a short range with many less powerful lasers. - AT-AT is very slow. Gunship is relatively fast. - You transport units in an AT-AT for protection. You transport units in a Gunship for mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 I Know you'll all kill me for asking but would a star wars cartoon show be EU? because if you lot hink it isn't then your unit problems' for the republic are sorted Vostok i was checking Star Wars .com and i saw lambada like fighter that belonged to the republic that was anti fighter so that might solve your problems I LOVE the idea about getting buildings ordered in it's like tiberian Dawn with NOD ordering in their units that was so cool.

clonedjedi Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Well buildings aint ordered in they are built but are movable by dropships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Or maybe prebuilded and transported on the battlefield à la Protoss... Perhaps we should wait on ep3 for more Republic Units. They seem to miss a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 If you go to http://www.lucasarts.com and click on there clone wars official site there are a few republic units that were not in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted November 2, 2003 Author Share Posted November 2, 2003 Viceroy, Frozted - Yes they are EU, but as they don't violate Vostok's Laws of Non-Canon Units I might include them. I saw them on the official site not long ago, though didn't do too much reading into them. I might update the Republic with a couple of these units to fill in the holes, and in the process fix up the gunship a bit more. Also due to many assignments I should be doing instead of posting here and writing civ designs, the next update of the Gungans may be a while coming.

Admiral Vostok Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 Okay folks, whilst being bored stiff by assignments I re-did the Republic with suggestions from above and added units from *GASP* EU. I decided people were right and they needed more units, so I took what I could from some of the better EU suggested by Viceroy and Frozted. I also changed the workings of the Jedi Starfighter, added Luke's Dad's Ion Gunner, and tweaked a couple of other minor things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Is anyone keen to see me continue this? Or should I stop bumping it? Gungans should be up Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 We want you to continue man! It's pretty fun to read and up to now it's the best organized template we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Continue I wanna see the other civs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Well then, I shal continue. Here's the Gungan Grand Army up a bit early, because I got bored of assignments. I had a lot of fun writing this one, especially making up the names, but there's also some really characterful units I've added from the movies. My favourite so far! However, I couldn't think of a good way for Gungans to earn extra Wealth, like the Confederacy's internal trading, the Empire's taxation and the Republic's Jedi meditation. Anyone got a good one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Perhaps since they're not really into wealth they might not need a way to gain extra wealth. I never saw the gungans being big traders and greedy people anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted November 10, 2003 Author Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hmm, I guess you're right. Though giving them nothing would weaken them... I've decided since they are one of the few civs that can build farms (the previous three can't) then that is good enough compensation. I should really be saying who gets to build farms and who does not... I'll put it in the Civ Outlines Intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 For The gungas in terms of wealth/credits/whatever you could have Booma Export's or something or maybe Plasma exports since in the star wars galaxy plasma is an expensive resource but is found naturally occuring in naboo and harvestable at a cheap cost maybe you could have a unit that flies up to space with a load of plasma and you get some credits/wealth/whatever and it would go underwater collect the plasma and go into space or outof the screen if your not having any space combat. Just an Idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I think that should be for the Naboo. The Gungans don't seem to be wealth reliant anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 I'll leave them how they are for now in terms of wealth. What do you guys think of the rest of the Gungans design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 It's cool enough as it is now. by the way is the gungan anti-air mech a catapult? I would suggest a ballista if it isn't already one. perhaps shield bearers should give the bonuses only when in formations with other troopers. it would suck if a gungan army is scattered and you have to shoot down the few shield bearers that are in the middle of no where.

Admiral Vostok Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 Yeah I guess they would need to be in formation. You like all the Gungan names and stuff? That was fun making up those words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Yes it was fun. Making up the names isn't hard anyway. You just have to take a little gungan accent:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
