Chimera Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 what the heck is that ugly thing... I suspect it was supposed to be a rebellion ship (given the context) But I'm clueless what it was supposed to be. Wait! Maybe it means lucas arts is going to release a rebellion update! Droids Rule!

Jahled Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Wow! Well observed and brought to attention; maybe a pre-game Liberator? Interesting stuff. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 We should save it to illustrate that SOME good decisions were actually made. As you can tell, I really really like that ship. It's like someone said, "Hey! We've got ships that look like fishes... how about birds!?" Then someone else said, "Yeah! Like a Dodo bird! Those are cool!" Creativity. Don't let it happen to you. (I joke. I joke, cause I love. Feel the love. That'll be 49.99. Thank you.) Droids Rule! Fleshies Drool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 It looks like a Bakuran Destroyer to me.. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Emm... well, on second thoughts; what ever it was/is, I actually think it looks a bit crap... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trejiuvanat Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 It does look like crap! Ugly stuff, it's even uglier than a Galleon! http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted February 20, 2004 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted February 20, 2004 http://www.swrebellion.com/images/what.jpg Just took a snapshot of that specific ship. Beats me what it is though... I don't see a description for the Bakuran ship other than this:The power plant of this design was based on the Imperial-II class Star Destroyer, but the exterior was much more fluid in shape than the angular Imperial warship.

Guest Scathane Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Great catch! Whether you guys think the mystery ship is ugly or not, this means, we have again uncovered unpublished material regarding Rebellion and I think that's a good thing. Is may be hidden somewhere in the Rebellion code. Are there any other animated gifs on the Rebellion website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mask Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Now that you meantion it, I saw, that the pic used for Han Solo is also not, what they later used for his card. That ship doesn't look like anything I know from the Rebellion era. It reminds me more of the Old Republic ships, during the Sith wars. http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 It just occured to me there might be a model for whatever this ship is; either hidden in the game code with all the other unused stuff or lurking around on a game developer's hard drive. Perhaps one of us should approach Lucasarts and enquire! Or, Scathe, why not ask your contact?? http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an image of a Bakuran Destroyer in the essential Chronology. While it isn't exactly alike it is pretty similar. http://www.swrebellion.com/~jahled/Trej/banner.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisMiggell Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Anyone else think it looks like it may have been designed by the same people that made the Bulwark Battlecruiser? And maybe crossed it with a Klingon Bird Of Prey? Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine...

Chimera Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I personally like those space pontoons. Spaaaaace Pontoons. I saw the Han Solo pic. It looks similar to one they used, but it has too much glare/white in it. Droids Rule! Fleshies Drool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Fett Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Y'all only saw this thing just now. Man, I must've paid too much attention or been really bored the first time I browsed through that site. I saw it about 2-3 years ago but dismissed it, since it wasn't a canon ship as far as I knew, and it was pretty...odd, to boot. Still, it would be cool to see what else is hidden in all that wonderful Rebellion source code... And shame on me for not bringing it up sooner, right?

TK421 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Wouldn't want to call it a nice source code... Z'anthr saves the world. Sorry about the mess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Fett Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Wouldn't want to call it a nice source code... Tongue-in-cheek, TK. However, it would be wonderful to actually get our grubby little mitts on the sourcecode for Rebellion.

the_mask Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 You bet, that we'd like to see that one We could finally add the highly anticipated pod-racer event, that could tip the outcome of the whole game http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahled Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 The game's Source Code will be ours eventually whether Lucasarts like it or not. Such is the fate of information in the 21st centuary. Nothing can remain hidden in the shadow of a spotlight indefinitely... not least with the talent and technology increasingly available to smash it's way into certain cyber-vaults sitting upon required information. A greater universe shall be eventially realized and unleashed, though our dark master might just get there first with some kind of sequal.... For such an venerable game, it amazes me how much there is left to tantilize us, and how a product with so much potential could have been so neglected by it's developer... Off to bed now, to read some Dan Dare... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahled Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 It's not an item that can be lost, according to my learned friend I grew up with who now lives in China; in the business of stone. It's like the basic metal framework of the game's basic construction, there is in fact nothing to be lost! Anyway, according to my friend what we need is an extremely clever individual to do stuff like reverse the game-engine's basic programing, which to be quite frank is like as alien a concept to me as... well...err.. aliens bothering to travel 50,000 light years through space just to scare the living daylights out of some poor farmer late at night in Kentucky. Aliens must have teenagers I guess. When I was at school there wasn't a PC in the building. Hell, we thought Atari Pong was flash when we riged it to our equally crap TVs! There must be someone out there who at least knows some brain-spark capable of sussing the game's basic structure. Offer them money for god's sake. My PC is so shagged i've resorted to a very dusty playstation-one, and am currently stuck in the nightmere zone of Duke Dukem. I've got through a door I couldn't figure out for six years of my life, only to be trapped after some laser-trip up action with nowhere to go!!! The situation is as hopless as it is grim! HELP! Err... back to topic! Elvis my friend; never give up hope. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mask Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Well, apart from the fact, that it isn't legal to reverse-engineer the game, with a "disassembler" you can show the sourcecode of every program, but only in Assembler. This language comes right after the 0101010 concept and isn't something I, or any people I know, know much about. Edit: which Duke game ? Duke 3D, ... in the land of babes, a time to kill ... ? http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/5183/animated9pn.gifhttp://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1778/reloadedbannerdu8.gifhttp://www.swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
