Darth Alec Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Prob. Yet being around 13 is what seems right for me, just a guess though. And is the ultimat weapon exept the Death Star, but the Death Star is a Death Star. So its not like you are going to want to fight it, just dont underestimate it.

Darth Windu Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most of the books (eg. X-wing series) say it's 8km long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah, so? It's 11-12 miles long, roughly 17.6 to 19 km long, and that's a fact. Just because it's mentioned over and over again (though some sources has been stating the propper lenght in the past aswell, not just the 8km fallacy introduced by WEG), doesn't make it correct. It's like with the "shield" domes. Just because it's mentioned over and over again (though, again, not all sources has done the same misstake in the past) doesn't make it right.

Makwu Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Here is the proof: 1) The SSD is a fan favorite 2) Petro designers have stated "Super weapons" plural. 3) C&C was a big fan of super weapons, same designers 4) That have stated that they will even include some EU content. I'm sure they would get all ROTJ content in first 5) The size demonstrations of the space stations shows the a SSD wouldn't be too much for the engine to handle There is your proof EDIT: Wow, I haven't used this account since 02 : ) How embarrasing. Krath Imperium, nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Ok It is now official that the SSD is not in the game. An official petro designer posted on the unofficial petro forums, and here's a link: http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=845&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Look near the bottom of the page. He also gives out some other really juicy info. Such that the game only goes up to battle of yavin. Though he does say it is a possibility for future expansions.

Jan Gaarni Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Hmm, we're restricted to 3 years gameplay? That is odd. Or do they mean we only get 3 years worth of research to play around with? I guess, since no SSD, there won't be a ISD mkII either then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can get $30 more dollars per person to buy an expansion with all the units that we wanted in the original. I mean how can you do an expansion on to an open ended game like EaW is supposed to be. I think the expansions will just be adding units and or new sides perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Personally, I dont mind the idea of expansion packs. Yes they cost extra money but it costs alot of money to make them. I like the idea of Empire At War sprouting more expansions - maybe an Empire Strikes Back esq one followed by Return Of The Jedi (for example). From what I have seen from the Galactic Map, there's plenty of room to expand it and include more planets. The new Dawn Of War, Winter Assault expansion gave us new maps, new campaigns and just 1 new faction. Which is good and works well. The only thing I didnt like was the £25(approx $45) price tag! EaW has the scope I believe to really give us a long lasting RTS experience. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardif Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 well.. for me 40$ definately make a difference. content, which must be in the original game, cant be sold in an expansion... that just doesnt make sense in my honest opinion ;( considering the new info, the solid wall, which forces me to buy the game, gets full of holes :'( .. and no, its not because of that SSD.

DMUK I agree with you now that I have thought it over. they release a few expansions (ESB,ROTJ,post ROTJ) and each one has new units but also new planets. That way you would have a larger galaxy, new units, and possibly a new faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Well, there is the fact that the game has an end date, which is the beginning of ANH. That turns me off some. I don't like restrictive RTS', especially the kind of restrictions I just mentioned. An RTS should go on till one side is the victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makwu Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Yes, the talk now on Petro Fan Forums is that the expansion pack will be from ANH to ROTJ. And then we will get units like the A-wing, interdictor, Home One...oh im so confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The Tech tree ends at Yavin in terms of only the first versions of the Death Star and Impstar and Victory. It also means that the B-wing, Interceptors and other later craft will not be in there. The Legacy of War Mod plan to put these things in. The Gameplay does end when you win not when the Tech tree ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 That's not what Delphi stated: The game ends at the battle of Yavin Battle of Yavin takes place, as we all know (or should know) in ANH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 The fact that it ends at ANH is also a slight down to me. I was hoping it would at least cover the whole original trilogy. Oh well.... I mean hopefully it will be loaded with tons of content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree. This game seems to be lacking content now. And I'm being nice. It's starting to turn me off... I didn't wait years for this to fork out over 100$ in the game and its expansion to get a complete Star Wars RTS experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Soldier Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Ok if I were some of you I would not lose hope. Many units that did not appear in ANH are in the game. Such as AT-AT's and Air speeders. I have also done a bit of research and found that TIE Interceptors were used in the Battle of Yavin. Link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIE_interceptor If you do not wish to read through all this here is the paragraph I found that stated it was used. Although the Interceptor only made its appearence in Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars Sourcebook (for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game) has stated that the Interceptor has existed at the time of the Battle of Yavin, where Imperial Star Destroyer's 6 TIE squadrons was a squadron of Interceptors (4 squadrons of standard TIE Fighters, 1 squadron of TIE bombers). By the Battle of Endor, an additional squadron of Interceptors replaced that of a TIE Fighter. The Interceptor's absence from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back was perhaps due to design limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkthehunter Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 A-Wings are in! We have seen it in the screen shots and movies! The game does not end at ANH. The tech tree ends there(to a point) There is no ANH! You make your own story! Why don't you people get that! -Dorkthehunter "Protecting the world from people with an IQ if over 30! Hazah!
