gamefreak Posted November 17, 2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Othere than stoping ships from retreating there probably used as light destroyers or something because I know there under armed for there size.
Jan Gaarni Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 So Like I said Jan the Interdictor is useless in this, since we can't do Hyperspace Ambushes so it's got no use there and since next to no-one realistically retreats it has no use there either. Well, then there are alot of fools out there then for me to own when I even negate them the chance to retreat with my Interdictors.
Darth_Extas Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 I nothing else to say but I agree that the Interdictor can act both as a light/medium class cruiser. But as we;; as a back-line cruiser halting the enemy from retreating.
DK_Viceroy Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 however though the fact that they were relativley few also implies they were expensive, still though I'd say a poor choice on behlf of petro, putting in a ship that will only have a limited role in a rare sitatuion instead of allowing it to be used to it's fullest.
Jan Gaarni Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I really don't see the problem here. It was the same in Rebellion, and it worked out very well. The aim was to keep the enemy in the system, forcing them to fight, rather than retreat and save the few ships they had. Thus ridding yourself of a potential larger fleet later.

Yes, but it also kept them in system when they started to whip your tail too because Rebllion didn't have an option to turn the interdictor field off. heh. That's a kinda semi hope I have for this game, because sometimes battles can be despirate enough and you'd rather take the easy victory for a key planet and have a defense force, than take a hard victory and have only a few ships to defend the planet when their counter offensive is launched. etc, etc
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 If it's like Rome:Total War, an Interdictor will have plenty of uses. When your forces started retreating in R:TW, the victor had the choice to massacre what remains or just let them go. Usually, if you didn't have cavalry anymore, you couldn't really stop them from retreating. By retreating, many units survive to fight another day. I don't think it's very smart for anyone to not retreat. If it wasn't a viable strategy in certain previous RTS, I'm sure it will be for Empire at War.
Jan Gaarni Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Yes, darthfergie, that's something I missed in Rebellion: the ability to decide myself to turn the field on and off.
aggie_john Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Jan Gaarni: We've heard rumours that the tech tree ends at A New Hope. Is this true? Petroglyph-Joe: The tech tree builds up to the end of A New Hope but since the game doesn't follow the Movies exactly, the player can mix things up a bit. There are a couple of units seen in later movies that you can research in EaW. SO it ends at a New Hope??? How far does it go back toward Ep III? I wonder.
Jeff Posted November 27, 2005 Posted November 27, 2005 Yes, the tech tree ends at ANH. I know there are some units that are not seen in ANH but are said to be around at the time of ANH (A-wing for example). I don't know what units if any are seen in RotS off the top of my head. EDIT: That are not also in ANH is what I meant to say.
Jan Gaarni Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Venator Class, Acclamator, those artillery untis I think, on the Imperial Side, and more.
aggie_john Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Will this mean that the Empire will start of with clones and you will have to research Stormtroopers? I ask only because they have made it clear that the x-wing will not be standard issue for the rebels, but rather something they will have to go after and get. Seems to me the X-wing is about as Rebel as you can get, an icon of the rebellion. Stormtroopers are the same for the empire, to be fair they should have to do the same?
Jeff Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 ^ Watch the trailer and Vader is told that the X-Wing plans were stolen from them. So apparently the x-wing is an imperial ship until it's stolen by the rebels.
Jan Gaarni Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 Well, wether the X-Wing is a symbol of the rebels is rather irrelevant, when the history of the ship states something else. Only due to some fortunate circumstances did it end up in rebel hands. Or unfortunate circumstances for the Empire.
Admiral Sith Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 I doubt they'll will enable the Empire to produce the X-Wing if the Rebels fail to get the plans from them, but we can dream cant we.
Darth_Extas Posted November 29, 2005 Posted November 29, 2005 That makes sense accually, because during the clone wars there was the ARC starfighter that was first to develope from the old republic as the basis of the next starfighter evolution could either be the Z-95 headhunter(If they are not the same asside from the fact that the ARC starfighter has four extra wings) or the X-wing
