The_Eradicator Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 the trailer has confirmed my worst fears: The SSD Eclipse will be in the hands of that noobish pirate. how dumb and innacurate from the developpers. i hope that in the campaigns the rebels will bever get to encounter that ship and that i will be captured by the emperor so the story corectly match the dark Empire series Anyway seen in the trailer were B Wing SSD Virago fighters Dark troopers IG 88 Hapes battle cruiser Eventually Talon Karrde (or was it that unknown pirate lord) Juggernaught Honoghr Selucami The Maw (which is supposed to be near Kessel... once again there is an unacuracy) A shame that it appears that the Dreadnaught isnt here
Destroyder121 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I think i saw something that looked like a Droid Deka, seems to be Zann will be wielding some Clone Wars era weaponry, like the Clone Juggernaught(i think thats the name for that vehicle..)
The_Eradicator Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 yeah it apears too .. I also made a frame by frame look at the trailer and it appears that not only the population cap for battles have been increased, but it looks like the Venator is in !! I saw the folowing planets too : Mandalore and Hypori Though i still persist on saying that they should replace Honoghr's location with Maw's
The_Eradicator Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Rofl ... after the laser sworf, the laser wip
Dark Sad Shadow Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 mmmm laser whip...... mmmmmmmmmm XD i hope this expansion improves the graphics
Sithman1138 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I know it wasn't in the trailer but they said the regular SSDtoo. Or not? I think i saw a regular droid. With some fire juck coming out of him
The_Eradicator Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 the SSD Executor is also in the trailer.... the droid you are talking about is Bounty hunter IG88 (certainly a hero)
lukeiamyourdad Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 mmmm laser whip...... mmmmmmmmmm XD i hope this expansion improves the graphics Hmm what the hell are you doing here! Shoo! You shouldn't come back now! XD Where is the Venator? I can't spot anything that looks like it.
usul Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 from the screenshots, theres definitly executor, but it looks like a background object, but in another screen you can definitly start blow it up hardpoint by hardpoint. Here's what I am finding there: Shot 1 Executor New Mon Cal class(maybe just home one) Pirate ship with weird projectile Shot 2 Felucia Tyber Zann or whoever Pirate troopers Shot 3 Aforementioned pirate ship and viragos Shot 4 Felucia Dark Troopers(either that or the empire has some new super tall troopers) droidekas pirate tanks, firing another weird projectile Shot 5 3-way battle New blue projectile Home one is bigger(which is why i think the mon cal in shot 2 is a new class) New pirate ship firing those orange-yellow projectiles b-wings Shot 6 Pirate Heroes(one looks like IG-88) Shot 7 Observe small home one ships looked rescaled that planet doesn't look like endor to me Shot 8 Pirate airspeeder with new type of laser Shot 9 Yoda Boba Fett ground units in addition to the hero some weird looking hero new trade routes that can extend into enemy territory(maybe the pirate's victory condition is to get teh yellow glow around everything) Salucami Honghor THe Maw Felucia Mandalore Shot 10 Ig-88 jungle troopers juggernaut
The_Eradicator Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 First of all, the venator is on the very far side of the battle where you can see the back of an isd on the forefront Secondly, its on the pirate interface in the screenshots
jonesyjonez Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, so I will. Eclipse Super Star Destroyer...firing it's superlaser.
wedge2211 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Thank god we get regular SSDs, too, and not jsut the stupid-looking comic book ones. Anyone else notice that the Rebels have TWO Y-Wing icons on the galactic interface in the trailer?
Darth_Torpid-PG Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Though i still persist on saying that they should replace Honoghr's location with Maw's Whoops! My bad....(dives into the XML)...
Xyvik Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 The IG-2000 was in there, or whatever IG-88's craft was called, I forgot. The presense of all those Viragos is disturbing. I hope to high heaven that they have them as they are supposed to be, aka MandalMotors StarViper, and not what Kotor2 did, aka calling them "Basilisks." For those not gifted in the knowledge of Mandalorian warcraft, the "Basilisk" in K2 was not anything close. THIS is a Basilisk War Droid. So any devs reading this, please make sure you name the StarVipers correctly. I'd really not like to hate this expansion pack, because I'm really looking forward to it.
Yesh Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 from the screenshots, theres definitly executor, but it looks like a background object, but in another screen you can definitly start blow it up hardpoint by hardpoint. Here's what I am finding there: Shot 9 Yoda Where exactly is yoda. I don't recall seeing him at all.

popcorn2008 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Where exactly is yoda. I don't recall seeing him at all. You can see Yoda on a planet when they view the galatic map.
Foshjedi2004 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 He's On tatooine training luke Overall the Expansion Looks Sound. The timeline is from Endor to around 6.5ABY I say 6.5 aby because that was when the Partially constructed Eclipse was moved from Kuat to Byss by Lira Wessex when the NR invaded.
popcorn2008 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Oh BTW... for those who said they saw a Venator. Delphi-PG has already confirmed over at the PFF, that the Venator is indeed NOT inside the expansion.
WarlokLord Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 The Executor is there... I believe the pirate/thug faction is in pursuit of their own Super Star Destroyer starship, something on par with the Executor but possessing a massive beam weapon capability. Probably not a planet-killer, but certainly a ship-killer. My guess. Based on that observation, I would not say that the Empire is losing Vader`s flagship. I also have trust in Petroglyph to not screw up anything so fundamental (!).

I also have trust in Petroglyph to not screw up anything so fundamental (!). Keep in mind that the screen shots were taken from the E3 demo, and those things are always sped up (you only have a limited amount of time to show a lot of stuff). Also, no balancing was done on any units yet - the ones in the vid are functional but not anywhere close to where they will be in the final product. Oh and lastly, if the Empire lets Tyber get enough of those new ships onto the battlefield, the Executor will be in trouble Hmm...after re-reading, I guess I misunderstood. No, Tyber does not steal the Executor. That would break canon lore, and we know how many of you feel about that
WarlokLord Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 . That would break canon lore, and we know how many of you feel about that ... Which would then require use of the can(n)on...
