Faction characteristics

[Vader's_Punishe]

Hello everyone this is my first post. This game looks nice, but features seem to be getting rapidly cut as the game approaches its release.

 

Everyone here likely has seen rebel characteristics on the rebel faction page. Which are these:

 

Rebel Alliance Characteristics

Lightly armored but fast

High Accuracy

Low Rate of Fire

Moderate Damage

Hodgepodge Technology

Versatility

 

They stopped doing this for the other factions in which case I hope they didn't stop trying to make them different, but instead the game is constantly changing and they can't commit to each faction attributes yet. From what I read on these forums, it seems armor won't matter any more which would likely mean everyone would be the same speed. But let’s say for the fun of it they are going to keep all the attributes in the game. What do you think each faction's attributes will be?

 

Here is what I think.

 

Separatist Characteristics

Moderately armored, Medium speed

Low accuracy

Very High Rate of Fire

Moderate Damage??

Adaptable Technology

?????

 

Reasons

 

Speed/armor : For the armor, I wouldn't consider them more armored than the imps or clones. In the movies, they are pretty slow but the majority of those droids don't exist being replaced by the new B2 droid, so I think they will have increased speed as a balancing factor.

 

Accuracy : This is based off the movies mainly. They can't seem to hit moving targets, so I think they will have the lowest accuracy in the game except Droideka's. If you can't hit Jar Jar then you deserve it

 

ROF : You make up for your lack of accuracy by using quantity over quality. This is apparent to me. You have the B2 droid you has a rapid-fire wrist blaster, and wrist launcher rockets which he can use at the same time! The Droideka has two energy blasters which in the movie is also rapid fire. And a sniper who can snipe and call orbital blasts which while lay down more fire(if they can still do that). I am not keen on the prequels names but, in one screen shot, one of their vehicles, the ATT I believe, was laying down lots of suppressing fire.

 

Damage : This one of a puzzle to me. Because it is rare to see one of these guys hit something in the movies. So I think they would base the damage on what ever would balance these guys out. I'm guessing moderate because I have no clue

 

Technology : That was the first word that popped in my head. I feel smart. But for the life of me, I can't explain why. It is an army that is made to invade, pack up tightly in a transport which doubles as an assault vehicle. They have hover technology so terrain is not a huge problem and The Droidekas transformations are a great example of their adaptability. It just screams adaptation to me.

 

Special trait : Maybe this is where adaptability belongs?

 

Republic Army Characteristics

 

Decently armored, Below Moderate Speed

Average Accuracy

Average ROF

High Damage

Great Technology

?????

 

Reasons

 

Speed/Armor : I think they will be slightly faster than the empire troopers, but slightly less armored

 

Accuracy : Well the rebels already have high accuracy and the Obi-Wan gave Stormtroopers props for being accurate despite missing the heroes a lot, and the Trade Fed isn't accurate at all, so this would put them at average which is about right. They aren't sharpshooters nor are they slouches.

 

ROF : I see this being average too. It isn't fast or slow.

 

Damage : From what I've been reading it seems high. The IGN preview says the DC-15 can damage troops AND vehicles. If it can damage vehicles then I'd say the damage is pretty high. Then you think about who there enemies are, the Separists droid army, and it says the EM pulse launcher can do *massive* damage to droid circuitry. And anything called a plasma disrupter has got to hurt! I may be reading too much into to it but it sounds like their thermal donators are the best so far. Here is the quote "Clone troopers carry a smaller, battlefield version of the devastating thermal detonator. The device has been calibrated to maximize enemy casualties. If it explodes next to you, goodbye."

 

Technology : I wouldn't think they would have better technology than the imperials, even though it would look that way based on the movies. What they have seems solid. Flying transport with lots of firepower, and jetpacks for a great mobility advantage. They seem to have the best anti-armor weapon in the game with their missle launcher troop. The IGN preview says it has two ways to fire the "dumb" way or the GAM way.

 

Specail trait : I have to say something along the lines of strength in numbers. Everyone is stronger in numbers, but I think these guys will be more so. The regular infantry carries guns which in numbers can problem do a good bit to vehicles. Then you have jet pack users which can attrach and draw enemy fire, and flank the enemy.

 

I don't have any infomation on the imperials to draw any conclusions on them but I would say that they would be the heaviest armored faction aswell as the slowest in the game. Their accuracy, ROF, and damage will all be around average, and they will have some of the best technology in the game with AT-AT, AT-ST, and maybe some stationary E-web cannons.

good info man.....especially on the droids. saying they could cram in a maf and then lay down assualts while transporting

good point vader ,they are cutting a lot from the game ,where did you hear that armor would count ,i never heard that ? would the proton torpedo launcher dude be slower than all the rest and the pilot be faster than all the rest? both speed differences would be because of the weight of these 2 units weapons .
