Adm Nels Marrow Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 How about it? Star Destroyers, MC80's, that would be the ultimate!
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted January 27, 2002 Posted January 27, 2002 Well, uh, u see this has been discussed many times before, and Garry even told us why their won't be any capitol ships as yet considered: They are too big. Unless, of course u could change all the Ground units to air units, with Infantry bieng Fighters, but that would be pretty silly.
Com Raven Posted January 28, 2002 Posted January 28, 2002 And it would kill the game off.... Why balance it ?? Bye bye purpose of almost any unit xcept Starships.... Welcome brave new world ...
captain_drake Posted January 28, 2002 Posted January 28, 2002 yeah any chance of captial ships is nil of course that could be like super weapons you know like a plantary bombardmet
Com Raven Posted January 28, 2002 Posted January 28, 2002 But we wouldn't use those slow and crappy bombers if we could do that ....
MercenaryI{aos Posted January 28, 2002 Posted January 28, 2002 If they are in the x-pac or sequel or whatever, the only way I could see them intergrated in would be... You need to be in tech 4 Research an EXPENSIVE TECHNOLOGY Build a new building like a comm device then, like in RA you have to wait for the "timer" (such as for nukes & spy planes) and the capital ship will come on a "bombing run" - you set the location for attack and it passes by attacking but you don't control the Star Destroyer it just passes by and to do again you have to wait for the "timer"... Anyways it's highly inlikely that such a thing such as capital ships will ever make to the game>
Clefo Posted January 29, 2002 Posted January 29, 2002 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CAPITAL SHIPS WOULD BE EVIL! EVIL! EVIL!!!!!!!
Com Raven Posted January 31, 2002 Posted January 31, 2002 Well Mercenary, that scenario works with today's bombers, which are deadly enough.... But from a ISD, ppl expect absolute annihilation..... And that would be more than unbalanced....
Adm Nels Marrow Posted February 1, 2002 Author Posted February 1, 2002 Thats not what I ment at all. I thought the add on would just be capital ships. no ground stuff all battles in space with t hebig ships.
Com Raven Posted February 1, 2002 Posted February 1, 2002 Hmm, well, that changes things, but it's much too big a thing for x-paack, and I am not sure if this is the best engine for it...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 Battlegrounds 2, maybe, but not an x-pack.
Com Raven Posted February 3, 2002 Posted February 3, 2002 I'd rather have gb stick to the formula, and have LCE develop a new space-only rts....
JediMasterEd Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 maybe they should be like a superweapon. Imperials w/ Arial Bombardment by ISD's, Rebels with their Ion Cannon, rendering all mechanical units to stop in their tracks and kill infantry, The wookies with their ability to allow units to travel through forests and trees, the Trade Federation with their arial bombardment by the Battleships, gungans with their Shielding and Naboo with a tribute with a good amount of Nova using the Republic Cruiser to deliver it. but i do agree that captial ships used by a player would ruin the game. go play Rebellion if you want to use capital ship.
MercenaryI{aos Posted February 11, 2002 Posted February 11, 2002 oh yes Rebellion. Keep the capital ships in Rebellion or make an enhanced "Rebellion 2"
chrisw_30 Posted February 12, 2002 Posted February 12, 2002 I wouldnt mine capitol ships...but im not fussed either way
Com Raven Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 Hmm, maybe a succesful Masters or Orion 3 makes LCE think about another rebellion, but I doubt it....
Sykes Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 I'd like to see capitol ships in the Gaia - other section, and all they are are pictures that can be placed onto the space background as eye candy. You could have planets and asteroids aswell. They'd be a nice touch to space battle levels.
Djapana Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 A Rebellion 2 might be good, but this time Ion Cannons might be nice? Disable and capture enemy ships? Also being able to yank ships out of hyperspace in the middle of nowhere would be better. A Star Wars Homeworld would be the best but...
Com Raven Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 Hmm, I doubt the chances for a Rebellion 2 ....
Jedi_Knight Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 what if their was a ground map and a space map and air units couldn't go on the ground map, this would be cool but it would prove big problems for the gungans. I don't like the idea of x wings shooting troops and workers it doesn't seem right
Booya2020 Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 The asteroids are already a space map and with the addition of the new air unit class seen infrom GB:CC concept art your wish will be granted. It won't be overpowering like a Capital Ship would be.
Com Raven Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Your word in whoever is responsible's ear....
Guest PhantomMenace Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 I like the idea of a com station or relay station in which you could get at say tech 4 that allows you to pay for bombardment from capital ships in orbit around the planet. You would need a spotter unit nearby the structure or area that you want to bombard. This would be very expensive to pay for and would take a long time; but when it happened it caused mass destruction in a wide area of the target location. As a counter; you would be able to build a new structure called a jamming center that protected everyting in its area from orbital bombardment. So there fore players would have to come up with tactics to knock out jamming stations as well as relay stations!
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Maybe u will get your way, Nels, because it seems to me that Air Cruisers are capital ships.
Natopo Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 I think the Capital Ships would TOTALLY inbalance the game. Maybe the orbital bombardment thing. I think that would be cool. But Capital Ships?! No way! The orbital bombardment thing would make up for GB's lack of Superweapons.
