Ah ok i dont think that looks anything like a mon cal ship :S thats why i was a bit confused i dunno im sure i've seen ships like that before in various EU sources?
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 The "head" part of that ship does look a bit like a Mon Cal cruiser. I do like the way they've made this ship though I think it looks pretty good.

nightmarenny Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Ironicaly the ship the Darth is freaking out about I quite like. The impires frigate though.........
swphreak Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 I could swear I've seen that ship in one of my comics. Maybe the Dark Empire ones, there were some odd ships in those. Edit: The rebel cruiser thing, not the spacetank.

The "hovertank in space" really is ugly looking. It just feels like some sort of bad filler ship. It's the only one I really have a huge gripe about.
nightmarenny Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I mean the other one. The liberater(their was a ship like that before EaW you know)-like isn't partiularly nice. Its the rebal ship I like. The one infront of the star destroyer.
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I understood what you meant. Perhaps I misquoted. I'll rectify everything so it's clearer.
GhOsT-Jedi Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 I just read the first post so sorry if this was already said. If you think the models arn't any good why not make your own, post them here and maybe they will see it. Otherwise, please try not to critisize.
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 But we need to criticize. If we always accept the status quo, nothing would improve.
GhOsT-Jedi Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Theres a difference in doing that and what he is doing, he's doing nothing to tell how to get better, he's just telling them they are doing a bad job...
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 He's not a ship designer himself. Doesn't mean he can't have an opinion on how a ship looks. Windu criticizes them for bad ship design but why would he propose something else? They're not going to listen to him, or any of us as a matter of fact, unless there's enough of us complaining about one particular element. Do we need constructive criticism here? I don't believe we do.
Darth Windu Posted October 23, 2005 Author Posted October 23, 2005 Ghost - as luke said, I'm not a ship designer, never have been. Thing is though, I am a Star Wars fan, and for meit's easy to see what fits and what doesn't, and these two ship types don't fit. Thing is, there are a heap of ship designs already in the SW universe which Petroglyph could have used. For example, if anyone here has Hyperspace on StarWars.com, there is a picture of a Rebel Starship breifly seen in RotJ, but it isn't in the game. Why?

'cause it's seen so briefly people wouldn't recognize it ?
Darth Windu Posted October 24, 2005 Author Posted October 24, 2005 luke - true, but the thing is it (apparently) was in the films, whereas these ship designs have never been seen before. Clearly, film ships should take priority.
lukeiamyourdad Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Of course. The Broadside might fill a gameplay hole, so does any other ship created for the game. Well, they have an excuse...though a rather poor one...
Darth Windu Posted October 25, 2005 Author Posted October 25, 2005 Jan - I could, but since I got it from Hyperspace I don't know if I'd be breaching copyright laws or the like. Anyone know?
Jan Gaarni Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Well, I wouldn't think so, since all we really have to do is pop the DVD in our players and scan the scenes carefully. You've already made us aware of it, so if it truly was to break something, you've kinda already did. It would just be simpler if you posted the image. Of course, you could also pop the DVD in your PC, find the place the ship is, and take a picture of it and post that.
gamefreak Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 I like the Rebel ship, but I think they could have done better with the Imperial ship
Darth Windu Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Jan - I suppose so. Anyway, the image is-
Darth_Terros Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I kinda like it looks old and battered like something the rebels would have had to use
Darth Windu Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 luke - never said it looked good, but apparently it is in RotJ.
Jan Gaarni Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I have never noticed that ship before. Must scan the films now.
