popcorn2008 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Well... well... Nevets over at the PFF noticed that on the official EaW site that they removed the Venator class Star Destroyer from the list of ships. If they are trying to remove this ship from the game that is very upsetting but I really dont see a reason as to why they would. It's ridiculous any way you look at it.

Jan Gaarni Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Well, it matters little to me personally. All I care about is the OT anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawn Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Really? That's interesting. Perhaps they decided that it was a bit superfluous with the ISD and VSD already in. I wonder if the Acclamator is being changed to be more of a troop transport ship now. To me that makes the most sense. Also, removing the Venator is a solid choice if they're looking at potential prequel expansion packs. It's probobly best for balance sake anyway.

90SK Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Huh. Maybe they just removed it from the list, but it'll still be in the game. Or not. Probably not. A shame: no fair reason to remove it if it was already there, like popcorn said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthWar42 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I'm happy about it personally, if it is truly out. Jan, what does OT mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 OT stands for original trilogy. I would rather have the Venator than the Acclaimator personally. I like its design better. Also though we cant take this as it really is removed, it seems odd because Delphi over at the PFF confirmed it a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthWar42 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Oh... in that case, Jan, I entirely agree OT for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It's probably a miss when they updated the site. Someone accidently managed to remove it without knowing ... <_< >_> ... yeah I know, abit far fethced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absboodoo Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Probably because Petro can't figure out how to implant the timed produce fighter ability from a 6 squadron carrying ISD to the carrier Venator. Plus it will sort of kill the rebels fighter advantage if it's a empire ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Here is the topic where Delphi, an official at Petro confirmed Venators: http://swempireatwar.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=906&highlight=venator Weird.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It's a conspiracy! Though it is redundant to have 3 Star Destroyers (Venator, VSD, ISD), I still see no reason to remove it. Couldn't they make it something like a light battleship or something, while the VSD a battleship/carrier hybrid? Just throwing some ideas around....

Admiral Sith Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 No the Venator was the carrier/battleship hybrid, the Victory was designed for ship to ship combat and planetary bombardment. They better have the Venator, the fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It's possible that in balancing the game, they felt that removing the Venator was overall better for game balance than having it in. I hope not, but still there is the possibility of the Venator not being able to fit into the game the way they had planned and then getting cut from the game.

Foshjedi2004 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I think that if we asked Petroglyph 6months ago whether the Timeline was the Original Trilogy they would have said Yes. LucasArts have probably changed the entire structure of the game from January to now. Of course that could just be my own Thesis unsupported by any evidence apart from the fact that when Legacy e-mailed Petroglyph ages ago whether the SSD would be in they said yes. Then there was a "damage" limitation period on PFF with Delphi modding stuff. Then Bigedmond said that Luke would be a force sensitive, Crackshot person= Now he is only an Upgrade to Red Squad at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah i guess I'll live without the Venator if they did remove it but I would prefer it over the acclaimator. I mean we see the acclaimator in ep. II only right? So the Venator is a more recent capital ship than that, and they are including it. I know that they are different ships entirely but I prefer the Venator. EDIT: Speaking of removing, under the elements section wasnt there more elements there? Now theres only 3 under coming soon.

popcorn2008 Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Im starting to think it was a screw-up as well, because the X-Wing is also removed from the list as well, and we know that's in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Therefore I beleive that they are the next Videos to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Extas Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I would agree with you Fosh because, The removed the name from the list likly to put the video link on to the name. It will be hard to find a video of the ship I think. But anyways, That is what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamefreak Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I would love to see a video of the Venator. Ive been waiting forever to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THrawn((9 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 i have to agree with fosh about them being the next vids and it would be nice to see the Venator but it maybe the Demo before we see the Venator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Let's hope it was just a screwup. With the ship in, there is the potential of having a very good (ie: FUN! ) early game, before the VSD and ISD types come in. It might be kinda fun to start off with only acclimators and vens, and play with them for a bit while you research up to VSD and ISD. ...on the other hand, I'm detecting a little scent of Rebellion here. Game pushed back, units and features in question.... but lets hope we don't get a stinker like Rebellion (the FIRST, ONLY, and LAST game I ever did or will preorder). lol I had to dig up my old account, had to post this soooo bad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adama Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I hope Fosh is right, the Venator is such a cool ship and it would be shame if it wasn't in. There are just so amny possibilities for the ship. And Lew Rebellion wasn't a stinker it was the best game of its type at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Sadly guys I beleive that the Venator has been removed.
