Super Star Destroyer

[Jan Gaarni]

A-Wings came into play shortly before or shortly after ANH.

Calamary Cruisers already exist as passanger liners/cruiseships. But they may not have been upgraded into warships yet.

Not sure when the AT-AT came into play.

Luke I'm not the one who is all about realism here if you need it so badly why don't you post it up like Windu does with needed prequel civs and don't forget to remind us of what you need to play the game every chance you get.

[lukeiamyourdad]

You're not making much sense anymore.

 

First off, unlike Windu, the Super Star Destroyer could be included. This isn't something that's utterly unrealistic as the prequel civs have been openly excluded.

 

You cannot say that it isn't be included, but I cannot say that it is. The Super Star Destroyer has yet to be confirmed.

 

You've been arguing about whether its inclusion was good or bad. Obviously, you've considered it a bad idea and I, a good one.

Your first argument was overpowering the Empire, which was disproved since a big fleet of ISD could do more then a single SSD.

Then, you talked about its uses, which you consider not good enough to do anything, which was disproved since it serves a purpose of flagship, prestige weapon and inspires fear.

 

Now you end in a hole, with no argument left but flaming.

[The Saint]

By the Battle of Hoth there are at least 4 Executor(Super) Star Destroyers already built and counting. Now the developers in the past have said you're going to cover the span of the Galactic Civil War, I can only think they mean moviewise. Which if thats the case then we shall see the Super Star Destroyers. I'm already glad they showed the Victory SD which seems to be the bastard child of all of Star Wars..not once do you see one in the Clone Wars even though they are supposed to make their role prominent there..oh well..if they can include the Victory, if they can include different armor types for Stormtroopers depending on the planet then lets have confidence that Petro will include SSDs and B-wings.

I didn't say not to include it I was just arguing for the sake of it.... and you have still not shown me its uses because prestige does not exist in RTS games unless you count some kind of buff or whatever.

[Darth Alec]

Its not only a prestige weapon. It is capabel of massive destruction and being just very scary. Many games have super weapons like nukes and other things, wich are hard hitters and low numbers. They are a sort of ultimate power and are not to be underestimated. If it wasent why would the Empire build them if they were so ineficent?

SSD is a must

[Garbageben]

Lets face it people, with out the SSD is not going to be the same, that's Vaders capital ship and the simbol of the empire. If they can create the bulkwalk battle cruiser which its out of time line, they can create the SSD.

That's the second or third time you've said that the one ship is a bulwark cruiser. According to screenshots what you're referring to is actually the Mark 2 Assault Frigate.

Geee...wake up for a minute. I did mention it inspired fear in the hearts of enemies. Could it mean that the SSD would have an impact on morale?

 

Besides, like Alec said, it's not useless in combat.

 

You forget that an ISD is more useful and efficient at doing certain tasks. Take one ISD and make it fight against an SSD and we both know how it would turn out.

An ISD has the advantage of being better for the control and patrol of Imperial areas due to increased speed, maneuvrability and lower production cost. Regional moffs would prefer to have a few ISD instead of having a big SSD.

That's the one, in star wars rebellion his name is bulkwalk battle cruiser.

[general ackbar]

theres really no reason for it not to be added.....

[Darth Tyrant]

Why would they use something that is large and slow? They need to make swift advances onto the Rebels before they can retreat or rally a counter attack. Actually the Death Star is the true power of the Empire not the SSD. I'm sure the Imperial fleets can manage without the SSD.

 

I didnt say the SSD was the true power of the Empire, what I said was that the SSD is the simbol of the Empire and most of all of the imperial navy. the death star cant lead a fleet, because its first and foremost a space station, designed with two objectives: 1) To support the imperial fleet. 2) To maintain all system in imperial control.

 

On the other hand the SSD is the capital ship that leads the imperial navy. Vader, Piett, Pellaeon, Daala, they all use SSD's to lead the imperial navy; Hell even Wedge antilles use a SSD against the Yuzan Vong on the novels.

 

It will be not a crime not to include the SSD in this game. Many of you think that it's not a good idea to include it, you know why?, because you are thinking on the size, but remember what master yoda said, Size matter not. Besides the bigger the size the harder the fall.

 

Im not saying that they should put the SSD as a regular star destroyer and make lots of SSD's around. They should put it like a special ship once that you can create once you reach at some point in the game and that you can be able to create one at a time, so it can serve the objective of leading the imperial fleet.

Obviously there is a reason not to add it because its not there...

[Darth Alec]

Its still awhile to release and we dont know everything yet. If the listen to complains they will probebly add it. Also its huge and needs lots of careful programing.

i doubt we have been shown all the units yet.

I have to agree with that.
