Deft Aklin Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I just thought it might be interesting to see what aliens people thought should be a part of this game. Obviously such races as Duros and Sullustan will most likely be added with the space expansion, but as far as the core game, what do you think they left out that maybe they shouldn't have? I will not taint this with any of my opinions until later in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiedo Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Well, when first heard of the game I wanted to be an Ewok or a Jawa, but I guess I'm gonna be a human until either of those is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 A Jawa I can see, but I just don't see the appeal in playing an Ewok. Of course, that's just my opinion. Have you ever actually RPed an Ewok? (Serious question, not intended to sound condescending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiedo Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 The appeal? Hell yeah there's appeal, Ewoks are furry, umm...furry and....uhh...hey! Look over there! *runs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 I guess maybe it's the just the way I have experienced RP with Ewoks in the campaign. *fade to flashback* ------------------------------------------------------ Tie fighters circle your YT-1300. The Captain mans the piloting controls and you man the fist gunnery turret. A tiny mass of brown fur crawls into the second gunnery chair and begins tapping the transparasteel as the Tie's pass by. Apparently the small creature actually thinks he can poke the fighters out of commission. ------------------------------------------------------ Anyway, I have veered way off course here, and Wraith is gonna whoop me when he sees this. Sorry boss. I guess I just never saw a reason for an Ewok to leave Endor. Could just be me though. As I said before, I respect your opinion. Thanks for the input.

Wraith 8 Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 the reason Jawa and Ewok are not playable charachters are because they are only seen on their planets.... and not on other.. thats why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiedo Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 I'll soon change that... *stuffs ewok into large cannnon* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 Exactly, that's why. I always wondered why WEG added Ewoks in as playable characters though. Never really made sense. It's all good though, they never lasted long in my campaign anyway, blasters vs. spears? Common, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiedo Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Indeed, blasters vs. spears. Surely you've seen RotJ? If it weren't for the Ewok's help on the moon of Endor, the Rebels wouldn't have had a chance. So think twice before you insult the lil' fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 Home field advantage is very important in war time. Imagine the Ewoks battling the STs on a SSD. I highly doubt the outcome would have been the same. The barracks would have acquired a new Ewok carpet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Format-Slut Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Ewoks did have it pretty easy though, lets face it. Stormtroopers are'nt exactly the most fantastic soldiers around. Plus they were out numbered and in an ambush. We all saw how they fell to their knees screaming in agony as they were pelted with pebbles, and how they were "mowed down" by paper mache hang-gliders also pelting pebbles. You would think the most feared troopers in the galaxy would be slightly tougher:trooper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benihana14 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 When I first heard of the game back when I was playing everquest, I wanted to play a droid. I thought it would be awesome to actually be a droid....yes, I know the RP factor is a bit slim...but now that I know we can own them and such, I'm pleased with whatever races they decide. Hopefully E.T. could make a cameo as in the movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STs are nasty for NPC soldiers. End of story. According to WEG stats, STs had 3D in most combat stats, where as 2D was considered average, 4D was best in a city, 5D best in a country, 6D best on a planet, 7D best in a system and so on and so forth. PCs should walk all over them, especially considering most have 5D or higher in these stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
