jrrtoken Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I was wondering, what if the Ebon Hawk was featured in the game? I'm not saying that it would be your own ship, that would be silly; You wouldn't want a million users all flying the Ebon Hawk around space. I think that the Ebon Hawk should be featured as part of a quest, almost how you had to go into the Harbinger and Goto's Yacht in KotOR II.
The Doctor Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 It would be better if the ship were lost somewhere, a mythical vessel said to be the harbinger of bad fortune, or something like that. Something that's rumoured to exist in game, and is sought out by every player in the game but is never really found. I don't think actually including it in any way would be a good idea, or even canonically possible, given the timeline. If the Exile took it into unknown space and never returned, chances are the vessel never returned either.
LordOfTheFish Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Maybe as a easter egg, but not a ship that's actually flown.
CrisG Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 it would be very very old by then, i like it too, but it seems highly unlikely.
DarthParametric Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 After 300 years I doubt it would be in serviceable condition. The Millennium Falcon must be pushing 100 in the current post-Legacy of the Force era EU and it must surely be on its last legs. Besides, the Exile flew it off into the Unknown Regions. Coming back from there once (sans Revan) was kind of pushing it - for it to magically appear again 300 years later is a bit much. Although they've all but confirmed that HK-47 and T3-M4 are still around (unfortunately), so I can't say I would be overly surprised if it made a cameo.
Tommycat Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I could see it coming back as a shiny hangar decoration in the Sith Emperor's ship. Kind of a trophy. That's about it. 300+ years on a ship that's been blown up and crashed several times... That's askin a lot.
Miltiades Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I'm guessing it'll be HK-47's storage room, where he keeps all his "trophies". Look for it somewhere in a big, bad world.
LordOfTheFish Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Look for it on Dagobah. lol That's not such a bad idea.
Ctrl Alt Del Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 All the ideas here are actually good. I would not want to see it as a derelict, though. This has already happened too many times.
Prime Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 The Millennium Falcon must be pushing 100 in the current post-Legacy of the Force era EU and it must surely be on its last legs. You'd think so. But so should the characters who use it, and yet...well you probably know where things stand.
SpartanPride Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 ^Actually, in the EU, a lot of characters are starting to die of age. Most notably, Luke Skywalker.
The Doctor Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Yeah, but isn't Han still alive? He was a number of years older than Luke, was he not?
GwannaSauna Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Getting back on topic, it would probably be hidden in the game such as [in game] you're watching the news and the news reporter reports the sighting of a strange ship that looks familiar to the Ebon Hawk... heh heh heh, I love hidden stuff in games
knight 12167 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Off topic: when does Luke Die? On topic:I think it should be related to a quest. Maybe the sith council have it ?
Ctrl Alt Del Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 On topic:I think it should be related to a quest. Maybe the sith council have it ? Yeah, and then on wednesday morning or some other day when only a handful people are online, you and a dozen other players can rescue the Hawk for yourselves and be happy forever. Until the next couple of hours, when the kiddos flood the server and start magically getting copies of the ship for themselves.
Weiser_Cain Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 ^Actually, in the EU, a lot of characters are starting to die of age. Most notably, Luke Skywalker. Yeah but he becomes one with the force and pester the galaxy forevermore...
Miltiades Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 Yeah, and then on wednesday morning or some other day when only a handful people are online, you and a dozen other players can rescue the Hawk for yourselves and be happy forever. Until the next couple of hours, when the kiddos flood the server and start magically getting copies of the ship for themselves. Could be part of the scenery. As a crashed ship, torn apart, where rakghouls now make their nest. And a sign that says: "Here was born and here passed away the Ebon Hawk: 4,000BBY - 3,900BBY". Or something...
Rev7 Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I wouldn't want it to be my vessel, but it might be cool to see it somewhere in your ventures
gianner Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Surely there will be some reference of the Ebon Hawk. Now Weiser_Cain, why wouldnt you want it in K2?
True_Avery Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Surely there will be some reference of the Ebon Hawk. Now Weiser_Cain, why wouldnt you want it in K2? Because it was an obviously pathetic attempt to link the 2 games together?
SW01 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Because it was an obviously pathetic attempt to link the 2 games together? QFT I too have had more than enough of it. And it seemed clear that it was only used for the reason True Avery pointed out. There was potential for a decent story linking it to Revan and following him, but it seemed strained and under-used to me... It was disappointing having the same ship twice - the nostalgia from KotOR faded just after the T3 prologue mission. And after the pounding it took in TSL, it would be really lazy-seeming to have it appear as anything more than an 'Easter-egg.'
gianner Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Because it was an obviously pathetic attempt to link the 2 games together? I did not think of that. I will reconsider my opinion about Ebon Hawk.
