Elfboy Posted December 6, 2002 Author Posted December 6, 2002 When you say that you changed a rebel ship to a death star do you mean the tactical model. That would be sweet. You could vamp up the guns and shields and have this massive ship sitting in the middle of your fleet. Like you said, no planet killing, but the entire battle would rage around it. It would add a whole new level to the tactical game; formations and battle group movements would be become much more crutial. You would end up with a space battle rivaling and mirroring that in Returne of the Jedi. If I am wise, it is because I know that I know nothing.
Jahled Posted December 6, 2002 Posted December 6, 2002 Intereseting thought....a tactical model of the Death Star with the battle raging around it. However, the reason it's seperated is a degree of realism of it's size, it just wouldn't fit in the tactical box, would it? Or would it... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
ElvisMiggell Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Any way of increasing the size of the box, it does that anyway as you develop bigger ships... Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine... Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Jahled Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Do we really want a bigger box? My experiance is that in the latter stages of the game when you're dealing with seriously massive fleets the box seems to grow in some strange way. It takes ages for the fleets to engage. One game improvement to the tactical game i've thought about would be to have a massive box with the planet at the centre. Check it out, your fleet could drop out of hyperspace into a system with only the Death Star. No poblemo you foolishly think. 'Oh oh oh,' mutters Piet on the far side of the planet on the bridge of the Executor at the head of an Imperial armada.....(sound familiar...) I know this would mean reprograming half the game, but wow that would be cool.I wonder if Lucasarts ever visit our site and read our ideas? http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
ElvisMiggell Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Heh heh heh, fun.... Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine... Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Jahled Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 The other way around as well...it would give new panic and urgancy to that young rebel tactical game commentator, when he goes: 'Warning...Death Star approaching!' As it emerges from the far side of the planet....with your fleet two or three Death Star shots away from hyperspace.... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
ElvisMiggell Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Also you should be able to just blow up the planet, because that's much faster than coming round the planet, it depends on whether you want the planet to be destroyed, but that would be cool.

Jahled Posted December 18, 2002 Posted December 18, 2002 Have you no sense of drama? Wouldn't you be oddly happy to have your fleet of six Liberator Cruisers wiped out by theDeath Star/fleet you never saw? Come now, there's always a downside before the tale triamphantly ends........ http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
Lord_La_forge Posted December 27, 2002 Posted December 27, 2002 I played with the rebellion without editing any of the values placed in the original game. It was about 1200, when the empire came with his death star named Raze...No magic. I played on hard, with huge galaxy. In the beginning I bombarded all of my planets until they joined the empire and left them, that just the HQ remained.It was an enviromental crisis! I had -200 maint. and so on. So the game became Very hard and enjoyable for pro's to... Imagine! I had only 3 planets, when the DS arrived at Raltiir! But Luke, Han and Borsk (as a jedi trainee) blowed that thing up!Since this savegame isn't finished yet, i can't tell if there will be a second DS built. I also played Very Hard with the empire (i had just Corellia on my side)
Jahled Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 Given the AI programming is so crap, you wont be troubled by another Death Star. Such is life. In three and..yawn..however many years it has been now, evan playing against the Empire with the Death Star set at 1/1, it has never rebuilt one. I guess something to do with the original programing. So enjoy your limited experiances with Death Stars.... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
Tsunami Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 Reminds me of the Wrait Squadron motto."Nice. What do we blow up first?"Blew up the only Death Star I ever saw. Geez, that was fun. It's all hopeless but otherwise not very dramatic. - Helme Haffax Englishman: "What do you think of Modern Civilization?"Mahatma Gandhi: "That would be a good idea."
Lord_La_forge Posted December 28, 2002 Posted December 28, 2002 Yeah! It was a great fun! I used to play Rebellion for a while, but I never saw this cutscene (the sabotage of the DS) before...
ElvisMiggell Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 I didn't know there was a cutscene for that, i've only seen the Deathstar attack run one, with the Xwings. Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine... Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Jahled Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 There's a hint of the cut scene in the credits footage-the shuttle leaving the Death Star. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
ElvisMiggell Posted December 31, 2002 Posted December 31, 2002 Hmm, check this out i shall. Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine... Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Tristar Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 looks like a young hackers conference lol When i iwl legt my version of game i iwll try to join you !
ElvisMiggell Posted January 2, 2003 Posted January 2, 2003 Hackers?! Slicers please!!! Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine... Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away
Lord_La_forge Posted January 3, 2003 Posted January 3, 2003 Jahled: There's a hint of the cut scene in the credits footage-the shuttle leaving the Death Star. That's it! There is also a picture in the cr footage of an SSD crashing into the Death Star. I have no idea, where that scene should appear..
Jahled Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 ...there's also cut-scene of a failed Death-Star run with Y-wings...and, usinf Resource hacker, there's four different WAVE-files of rebel squadrons making the attack run, succeeding and failing. Now that's a thought. Personally, i've never had a battle against a Death-Star thats lasted long enough to see-in one attack run....they tend to blow very easily. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
Lord_La_forge Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 Mysteries of SWR! We keep playing, until every cutscene will be played for us! Amen
Jahled Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 The SSD never crashes into the Death Star during the game...sorry! http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
Lord_La_forge Posted January 6, 2003 Posted January 6, 2003 But there is a picture of it in the end.... damn
Jahled Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 ..thats the footage of the rebel-alliance victory where the rebel fleet shows up and 'dismantles' the SSD (curious how it seems to fall apart...not explode!). Wierdly enough I think the best footage in the game is if you loose, either as rebel or Imperial! I downloaded both endings once so you can see the footage, but i've forgotten where from... (though I still have both zip files on my hard drive...if anybody's curious... ) Talking of footage, would it not be safe to say the opening of galactic battlegrounds kicks arse!!! It sure beats that Star Treck Voyager immitation crap at the beginning of Rebellion- http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
Lord_La_forge Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 I saw both winning and losing movies. You're right, the losing scenes are much bether, than the winning ones..But I'm not talking about those scenes. There IS a footage from an ssd crashing into the DS. It's not in the credits scene. I think it will been only show up, when you are winning a Hard rated game... I will get a capture of it soon.
Jahled Posted January 9, 2003 Posted January 9, 2003 Dude, you're chasing a dead duck...the footage/event doesn't exist...i've been playing this dam game since about late 98' (twas the first game I installed, on the first PC I got, roughly about the time I moved in with 'her' in Archway, North London). You may ask yourself why? Good point. I'm not entirelly sure myself....on either subject... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif
