wolfshadow Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Awsome looking model. Looking forward to seeing it in game. MDN 14: Great post. Lots of good info... I was trying to remeber in which of the books that I first read about a SSD... I thought that it was Thrawn that had one.. I guess it was the Black Fleet one that I remembered. I think that Thrawn would make an awsome hero unit. Would make a great way to include a SSD in game, and keep it unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmperorJello Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 * Vindictive — Flagship of Grand Admiral Harkelan, used to launch full-scale war in the Core Systems in order to reassert control over the Imperial factions. The ship was an altered Executor - class ship, capable of conducting entire planetary invasions. The ship was thought to be destroyed, but evidence points to the fact that the ship made a blind hyperspace jump, and may be in the Outer Rim Territories. FAKE. Neither that ship, that grand admiral, nor those events mentioned are real. You also missed a few, such as the Megador from TSW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Sith Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Actually their were three ESDs in Black Sword Command hm... other (popular SSDs) are Zsinj's Iron Fist and Isaard's Lusankya (wonder how they managed to build it there (don't want to spoil for the minority who didn't read the X-Wing Books yet or searched at EU)) It was built at Fondor(or Kaut) at the same time as the Executor was, then the Emperor buried it underneath the surface of Coruscant to serve as his personal getaway ship.

Foland Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 It was built at Fondor(or Kaut) at the same time as the Executor was, then the Emperor buried it underneath the surface of Coruscant to serve as his personal getaway ship. I think the point is... how could it be moved to coruscant/buried there. I don't think SDers were constructed to be able to enter atmo, and if if they could, a Super's size/speed on reentry would make it impossible to "land" on a planet the size of Coruscant. then again, it is star wars...

alecsuba Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 The SSD was able to enter the Atmosphere of Planets. This was shown in some very old comics. Vader brings the Executor down to the surface of a planet after telling the Planets Commander the requirements for the landing zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 The Lusaynka was only able to be inserted to Coruscant because the SSD had a massive Repulsorlift cradle that allowed it to descend into the Atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse|TFL Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 BTW can someone explain me how the hell the rebel fleet can defeat an entire imperial fleet ? Not to mention stupid Ewoks crushing the Imperial forces on Endor. I mean how is possible for few calamari cruisers Y-wings X-wings and A-wings to knock down Executor whereas DS was wiping out rebel ships. Not to mention thousand and thousand of Tie Interceptors being launched into the battle. P.S. For expension pack or modding : Give us the ability to wipe out those Ewoks plz plz plz More geekdom..... The reason for the defeat of the Empire's navy was the Death of the Emperor, He was so strong in the darkside of the force he was manipulating the entire fleet (giving them a boost in tactical thinking and quicker reflexes) and when he died, the sudden loss sent the fleet into chaos, allowing the destruction of the Executor. Once some of the more experienced commanders came round, they ordered a retreat and scattered, giving birth to various Warlords.

arkodeon Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Yep you can see them first when Luke is watching the battle from the DS and then when the Executor is destroyed. There was only one Super Star Destroyer at the Battle of Endor. Many sources indicate that the fact that there was only ONE Super Star Destroyer was enough to turn the tides in the Empire's favour, or so they thought. The other Super Star Destroyers were on other missions, or served as personal flag ships. BTW can someone explain me how the hell the rebel fleet can defeat an entire imperial fleet ? Not to mention stupid Ewoks crushing the Imperial forces on Endor. I mean how is possible for few calamari cruisers Y-wings X-wings and A-wings to knock down Executor whereas DS was wiping out rebel ships. Not to mention thousand and thousand of Tie Interceptors being launched into the battle. P.S. For expension pack or modding : Give us the ability to wipe out those Ewoks plz plz plz - The Battle in Space: The Battle in Space was won because the Death Star Two was destroyed. The battle lasts all of half an hour; and the Rebels had more than just "few calamari cruisers Y-wings X-wings and A-Wings," they had over one hundred Corellian Corvettes, 25 + Mon Calamari Cruisers, 500 hundred fighters... http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Battle_of_Endor <--- For complete listing. - The Battle on Land The Ewoks and the Rebels won because... Ewoks knew their world better than both factions. They were able to devise plans, traps, and move around undetected. The Rebels won because of their friendship with the Ewoks, and their camoflauge. If you have never played Battlefront 2, it is a main problem on Endor that the Stormtroopers stick out like sorethumbs, with their white armour and all. The Empire was too complacent with the fact that they were the dominating faction; no 'teddy bears' could hurt them. That wasn't true. D: Bye Bye, stormies. If you pay attention to ROTJ, you will see that the Rebels did NOT destroy the entire Imperial fleet; because the Emperor was out of the picture, all of the planets that were oppressed revolted, leading to the liberation of Coruscant, and, in effect, the Galaxy. And, we wouldn't HAVE any New Republic without the win at Endor. (Or Jedi, for that matter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenaMarieD Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Cool stuff that'd be great to have in this mod - Super Cap Increases for epic land and space battles. - Vader's Executor Hero unit instead of his Tie Ad, however with a button to launch Vaders Squadron. - Kyle Katarn's Moldy crow in space - Mara Jades Customized z-95 space hero - Mon Mothma's Nebulon B Frigate Hero unit ( the one from the End of Empire Strikes back) or - Rebel Headquarters space station like from Rebellion that is Mon Mothma's Space hero unit - Emperor's Guard buildable from barracks - Rebel Pilots buildable from barracks - Buildable Tie pilots from barracks? - Admiral Daala's SSD - MonCal Crusier Liberty? (the one from X-Wing Alliance) - a Real Death Star, not one thats background art that launchers Ties, Bombers and ISDs as a special and has a Tractor beam that can lock onto Capitol ships. - Luke Skywalker hero with the rest of Red Squadron as Pilot units on the ground - TIE and Reb Pilots with a ground special to hop into their fighters - Mara Jade and Kyle Katarn ability to switch between blasters and lightsabers just a few ideas, I dont know if all of them are possible but these would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
