darthfergie Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 Okay Mr. Gaber...You have lost all my confidence. I admit you were starting to gain some small footholds, but now they've been whiped out and routed. Air Cruisers. If your going to do something...do it RIGHT!!! I come into the civ stats hoping to see some resemblance of a Star Destroyer or some small Imperial Ship like a Carrack Cruiser. NOOOOO you had to go and make a ship that looks like it was welded together by a madman! http://www.galacticbattles.com/empire/units/air/air_cruiser.jpg I then check Rebels just to make sure you didn't screw up there too, but no. Instead of a cool Mon Cal looking ship or even a Rebel Blockade Runner...we get some funked out ship never seen or heard of before! Oh the Humanity! http://www.galacticbattles.com/rebels/units/air/air_cruiser.jpg AND Most of the others are just as bad http://www.galacticbattles.com/trade/units/air/air_cruiser.jpg http://www.galacticbattles.com/gungans/units/Air/air_cruiser.jpg http://www.galacticbattles.com/wookiees/units/Air/air_cruiser.jpg http://www.galacticbattles.com/republic/fighters/Air_Cruiser.jpg I'll admit though that the Naboo & Confed. versions are pretty decent... http://www.galacticbattles.com/naboo/units/air/air_cruiser.jpg http://www.galacticbattles.com/confederacy/air/Air_Cruiser.jpg Holy Ashes Batman! My dreams are crushed. They may be good in the stats department, but in sticking to SW traditional designs...THEY SUCK! If your going to do something...DO IT RIGHT!!! I guess I'm crazy, but I don't want something that DOES look like an At-St with jets. [/rant]
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 Heh heh. I would admit the Ganguns Aircruiser looks crap, but all the others are OK.
duder Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 I think the Wookiees Air Cruiser looks great! The Naboo has the best looking cruiser, the only one I don't like is the Gungan cruiser, but all their air units look crappy.
Compa_Mighty Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 They look good Fergie. I was waiting for a Star Destroyer-like thing, and yes, it looks strange, but it's cool though. The Rebel one is kinda like the Tantive IV, so it's pretty cool. The Naboo is the coolest one.
Kal Of Corellia Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 The Gungan one looks like a floaty thingy with gundark skin AHH! I like the other ones but i think the Rebel one looks the cools but the Naboo as usual is pleasing to the eye
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 The Air Cruisers carry alot of power. When I upload a recorded game, you will see them in action. They are a major threat and will mean new strategies in the game. DMUK http://www.galacticbattles.com/clonecampaigns
Lord JayVizIon Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 lol, i think you need to relax fergie. if you've ever played starcraft, i think they're trying to make this air cruiser similar to the terran battlecruiser. i think this could be pretty neat...
TheMadDoofer Posted May 5, 2002 Posted May 5, 2002 The Naboo one looks awesome, but I have always loved the Naboo architecture and cool-looking ships. The Naboo aren't that great as part of the game (unless you love jedi) to me even though they look cool.
Automaton Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 The Imperial Air Cruiser looks like a Winnebago with Tie panels.
darthfergie Posted May 6, 2002 Author Posted May 6, 2002 LIKE I SAID!!! The SUCK in the looks department. (I don't care about gameplay at this point this thread is about their pittiful artwork) They don't even come close to SW goodness...The Naboo certainly does, but that is only because we don't have much to go on. But the Rebs and Imps versions look like crap. I mean you would think that SOME of the Cruisers would LOOK like cruisers from those sides...The Imp one looks like somebody decided..."Hey I bet an At-St would look cool with TIE Interceptor wings!" I mean it looks like one of the "Uglies" mentioned in the Rogue Squadron books!
DashRendar Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 Am I the only one who realizes that Air Cruisers are NOT Star Cruisers, after all who ever heard of a star destroyer that can be taken out by like 3 fighters? Plus I actually like the Imperial Air Cruiser! Although ya the Naboo is better...
Clefo Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 I think someone has a stick up their ass NEVER EVER EDIT MY POSTS OR I'LL HAVE SHERACK REIGN HOLY VENGENCE ON YOU!!!!- Clefo
darthfergie Posted May 6, 2002 Author Posted May 6, 2002 Cor. Corvettes can be used in the atomosphere...so can Carracks. Also as shown in AoTC trailers there are really good Cruisers that we were DENIED!
Gaming Nut Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 I got no probelm with how they look. I think a flying laser platform would look more like a tie fighter then a star destroyer. mon cal only make curisers for the rebels they dont make fighters or transports and so theirs no way of knowing what a large laser platform would look like. Stop saying the art sucks and admit that you wanted mon cal cursiers and star destroyers no something new. Sicne you wnated the above nothing would have stasfied you that Im almsot sure of.
darthfergie Posted May 6, 2002 Author Posted May 6, 2002 Stop saying the art sucks and admit that you wanted mon cal cursiers and star destroyers no something new YES!!! I DID WANT THOSE!!! Not something new that SUCKS!!! I wanted something that demonstrated Star Wars. Not something that demostrates what you can do while on LSD!!!

NewtypeJedi Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 I think they're okay (exc. Gungan) but the they do look like they were added at the last second because they don't appear as refined as the other new pieces of artwork.
KhaleeLah Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 the gungans looks like the Vong did some genetic engineering on their air transport.
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted May 6, 2002 Posted May 6, 2002 Maybe we could have a Vong campaign with Ganguns as Vong.
Automaton Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 AutomatonOmega: Flying Winnabago* syran765: I'll take it that's a cheat syran765: kinda like the bigdaddy in AOE AutomatonOmega: It's the empirial air cruiser. AutomatonOmega: It's an actual real unit. syran765: that? AutomatonOmega: For the expansion. AutomatonOmega: Yes. syran765: it looks silly AutomatonOmega: Indeed. AutomatonOmega: It literally looks liek a flying RV with a gun. syran765: and here I thought they were being cute by playing off of spaceballs AutomatonOmega: with Tie Interceptor wings. AutomatonOmega: HAHAHA *Was a link to Galactic Empire Air Cruiser.
