Guest Comosan Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 No capitol (capital?) ships? the arguement is that they will be unbalanced, right? It seems from the several threads here already that AA buildings wouldn't have a problem with them. Add them in at age 4, not overly powerful, but very expensive and like an air AT-AT (with slightly better stats) even better yet, add medium ships too (Millenium Falcon!) It'd be great to fully add air rather than have some weak fighters. Remember starcraft? Battle Cruisers and carriers weren't too overpowered, and if you made capitol ships even more expensive, 2 or 3 in the very late game could be an impressive and fun and balancing addition. Also, how about improving current fighters hp and give better AA, keep bombers with high dmg vs ground, and add a medium class ship that's fairly more expensive, but has like 135hp and does 10-12 or so dmg. adding this makes it a little more starwars and less aok clone, imho.

Eets Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Scaling is also a problem. Note that a star destroyer can hold multiple AT-AT's... + = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Comosan Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 hrmmm, good point....can't have a ship covering half the map.... how about a not-so-super star destroyer? ok, I agree that a full fledged SD would be too unbalanced, but seriously, how about some medium ships and possibly large ships (not SD's, but to serve simmilar purpose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eets Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 I don't think I'd like anything other than a SD... I mean it doesnt really keep up with the trilogy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CompuKyle Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 I think they should make it possible to create a Death Star.What you do is you build it, but then it's in orbit, so you can't see it on the battlefield.Once in awhile it charges it's Main Laser and fires destroying like one building or something.But, for defense the Rebels could have an Ion Cannon and shoot it to disable it for a long while.I don't know what the other civs could have for defense, or offense either.Any ideas?

Compa_Mighty Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 They look good in the movie, but they don't fit in this kind of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQuiGonJinn Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 The Millienum Falcon is in the Game, and Garry Said Lando in the Falcon is a Toybox unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kvan Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Originally posted by LordQuiGonJinn The Millienum Falcon is in the Game, and Garry Said Lando in the Falcon is a Toybox unit Well the Falcon really isn't a Capitol ship BTW Hi LordQuiGonJinn!

Guest porkins14 Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 The developers must try to stay as much within the star wars universe and stay true to it as possible. Everyone knows that capital ships cant be inside an atmosphere. That would be absurd. All they do is stay in space and bombard, which would make the game not fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 If they wanted a capital ship, they'd make one liek the firgate, the republic cruiser for the naboo, Gungans? Galactic Empire would be a Victory sd or a SD. and wookies well, well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQuiGonJinn Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I think that Rebel Transport should be bigger, if you remember from the Empire Strikes back, Hoth Base part it was way bigger then any of the fighters. the Shuttle Tyridum for the Empire is a good size though i thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 It is bigger than the fighters, although it should be a bit wider and maybe a little longer. It's about the size of 2 fighters. The imp one is fine, it's about the size of 3 TIEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crazy_dog Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 They can't change anything now, they're just looking for bugs and stuff. Also capital ships would just not fit in this game, I mean there's no counter units for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQuiGonJinn Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 The Ion Cannon is in the game, I think that'd be effective against Capital Ships, worked in Empire Strikes Back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesseg88 Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 You can't have cap ships. They are too huge and too complex. Were there cap ships in FC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Admiral Thrawn Posted October 25, 2001 Share Posted October 25, 2001 :\, all you would have to do is make the Capital ships smaller, The Capital ships in SC where fun and nobody every complained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted October 26, 2001 Share Posted October 26, 2001 I don't think Capital Ships are a good idea because it just wouldn't be right. Even if you made them smaller it would screw up the whole size thing LucasArts has been working so hard at. Oh well maybe an expansion pack...
