Jmaster3265 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 if anyone didn't know about it. Venator is in this game as a pirate ship.. hehe that's kinda funny. i say thanks to the devs who actually included the venator even though we can't control it. uhh if u want to see it for urslef, u should go download one of the mods for the demo and see for urself.

PygmyShrew Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I believe you Still seems a bit daft pirates having a capital ship of that size? What fighers does it launch? Whats the crew size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Unless the stats are different, the Venators I built seems rather weak. I expected it to be at least close in fire power to the Victory-Class Star Destroyer. Still cool though. I built a whole bunch of them and took on the Rebel Fleet. Reminded me of ROTS opening.

Admiral Sith Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 The Venators were designed as a primarily carrier ship also capable of Ship to Ship combat. The VSD was purely made for combat, and so it outgunned the Ven several times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Even though the Venator is included in the demo files, that doesnt mean that it will be in the final game. The demo is from a december build and much has changed since than, including the Venator. So we really dont know until the real game comes out.

Jeff Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 That's true, back in december we still thought the venator was in, didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 That's true, back in december we still thought the venator was in, didn't we? Yeah we did, in fact on the 29th of December is when a german magazine realised screens of the Venator, but then on the 4th (I believe) Lucas Arts revealed it was cut. If you note on the main menu of the demo we can see that the demo was built on the 17th of December, before the Venator was cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 The Venators were designed as a primarily carrier ship also capable of Ship to Ship combat. The VSD was purely made for combat, and so it outgunned the Ven several times No. The Venator was a Battleship, not a Carrier. Go look at the entry in the offical site Databank which clearly states that it was designed for ship-to-ship combat and nothing else. It actually makes a lot more sense to have the Venator as a Battleship and the Victory as a Battlecruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Well, it's still a pretty crappy ship in-game, so I don't mind it being out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintercell56 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Don't know if this helps, but its a screenshot taken from the game on 1/17/06 at IGN.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Like I said, although the Venator may have been in the game before it is now removed. That screen was actually released with the 2nd developer diary, on the forth of January. The fourth was the same day they announced the ship was removed from the game. Sad coincidence that the screen was also given out that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Unfortunately, it's an old screenshot (look towards the middle of the page). EDIT: popcorn beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
