Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Does anyone else besides me think that dark troops shouldn't be the unique unit. Why not move the at-at's or even a star destroyer. anyone got an opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Stardestroyers because a capital ship would be quite something to handle in a planets atmosphere, plus think of size ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break. That would totally ruin the balance of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordQuiGonJinn Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 actually what they should do is put in the spaceport Corellian Transports for when a civ reaches level 4 so at least they dont have to use that slow trade caravan, I'd rather just fly the cargo over.

Guest Tie Guy Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 I think it would be cool if they had the TIE Crawler or the Tank Droid. Those would keep in the Empire mech theme. But, the Dark Trooper is fine, they are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 You cant complain now... The art is locked. Just hope for an expansion pack with upgraded unit feautres and new units and animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibalscipio Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Orbital bombardment by Star Destroyers can destroy several cities, so I guess they wouldn't work. A Corellian Transport or something would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 OK i never said they sucked, but shouldn't they at least not stand there pumping their weapons? Shouldn't they be standing at "attention?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maul403 Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 lol it is weird how they just stand there and "pump" their guns but it looks cool when they are shooting...they pump after every shot stand at attention all the time? uh no...u know how hard that would be?

Paragon_Leon Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 The Royal Guard may look better graphically as a unique unit, but the Dark Trooper makes perfect sense to me.. After all, it really is unique ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossack1812 Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 A question about Dark Troopers, in Dark Forces it says they are robots, but in all the other games it says their specially trained troopers. Which one are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Judging from their in-game sounds, i'd say they are robots. They could always have some kind of genetic thing incorporated to make them more efficient of course... And their size makes it illogical to assume they're humans..

Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 In the game they are stated as mechanical. The sfx also back that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WC_heavyarms Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 And it isn't hard to make a droid stand at attention when idle. It's a droid for god's sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMPIRESPLAYER Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 it sais in some books and manuals that the darktrooper is a stormtrooper who has a limited control of the force thus makin em harder and better. they aint robots............at least not in these books and games.......

Guest DarkTrooper Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 yeah darktroopers rock hence my name. but also because i played a match last night where i had about 10-15 darktroopers and the destroyed this guys base with the help of some jedi knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one are they? Ahh, let me tell you the story of th Dark Trooper... General Mahc, a weapons engineer designed the Dark Trooper. There were 3 phases to developement and production. Phase I troopers were robitic, and lacked the armour that you see in the game. It was basically the "skeleton" of the dark trooper. It had no blaster, only a large spike of sorts that it could swing. These models were never truly meant for combat. Phase II troopers had the armour and blaster, but were still droid controlled. They were equiped with the dark trooper weapon, which was a powerful blaster that could still do quite some damage. Phase III troopers were the fiunal evolution of Dark Troopers. They were a suit which a an could occupy that would significanly increase the armour and power of a single soldier. They had very thick armour plating, and a powerfull blaster that included a miniature missle launcher. They also came with a jetpack. Sadly, only one was ever made, and was piloted by Mahc himself. Kyle Katarn finally destroyed the man and the suit after looking for him for quite some time. Thus, there are no Dark Troopers left, the inventor went down with his only suit, and the laboratory where they were manufactured was destroyed, along with the "Arc Hammer."

Guest crazy_dog Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 U can't change the art now. The game's nearly finished! Oh, well, the darktrooper is a good choice for a unique unit. An EU unit might put off some of the fans who only watch the films, not die-hard people like in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Nilaar Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Actually I think the Dark Trooper was the perfect unique unit. I just like it when the games link themselves together. Besides, with all the nova crystals the Imperial Mech units will take, it's nice to know when the nova runs low I can churn out Dark Troopers;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
