Questions on Rebellion Reloaded

[showboat1]

1) Is it too late to get in on Rebellion Reloaded voices? I coach basketball and am about to do a month of camps. During that time my voice will get all gravelly and deep like a Mon Cal.

 

2) Is there a time estimate on this?

 

3) What new features/ships/troops/characters will be added? Is there a list somewhere?

 

4) Has something been done to improve the AI or will this be for multi-player only?

 

5) Will this be something we downloaded and install over parts of Rebellion or will this be a stand alone deal?

 

6) Do you need game testers? I have played this game since its release and absolutely love it. No matter what else I play I always seem to come back to it.

 

7) When its released will you provide marriage counselors for those of us whose wives (or husbands) think our quest to rule the galaxy is a little beyond wierd?

 

8 ) Will the production model be changed? IMO the current one is not very challenging for experienced players.

 

9) What time period will be covered? Will it start, as in the past, with the Rebels based on Yavin or will it go back further?

 

10) What is being done about the diplomatic aspects of the game? The previous model was pretty basic, crude but effective for the game as it was. However, politics is about give and take. Locals wouldn't join a rebellion against the most powerful force in the galaxy unless they saw some benefit, or were being oppressed to the point that they couldn't take it anymore.

 

Anyhow, just a few critical questions that I have.

Because we can't legally get the sourcecode for Rebellion I imagine that many of the things will remain the same. I'm not sure, but no doubt it's going to kick ass. Thats all I need to know.

 

No progress with the sourcecode and e-mailing and mailing LucasArts by the way...

[showboat1]

Hell, let's just pay someone to hack it!!!!

 

To the FBI: Just a little joke there fellas. Not really serious

 

DAMN!!!!! Why is Lucas such a tight ass some times. He lightened up on the fan films, it's time to let this go too. After all, does anyone actually make any money off of this game anymore? Hey, maybe if we promise to pay 'em like $10 for every copy we download they'll lighten up.

[Aenivae_Ikeda]

Read the "Flat Out Tired" thread on this forum. Your questions about Lucas will be answered by Jahled. Still, that doesn't stop me from trying.

[showboat1]

What about a release date? What about game testers? What about ships and characters?

[Evaders99]

Moved to a better section, so that the Reloaded team can see and respond to your questions

Anyhow, just a few critical questions that I have.

 

1) Never too late! Voices are always needed, especially mon cal voices. There are plenty of voices to be done, however the script has to be decided.

2) Yes. When it's ready, it's ready. With more help, it can be done in less time.

3: There was a list... This is a proposed list for ships:

 

Imperial Star Destroyer -I Replace with ISD-II

Corellian Corvette

Nebulon-B-Frigate

Golan Space Station

XQ-Platform

Katana Dreadnaught

Damorian Freighter Replace with the Modular Star Hauler, Star Galleon, Medium Tranport?

Act-VI Freighter Replace with the Modular Star Hauler, Star Galleon, Medium Tranport?

Marauder Corvette Replace with Carrack Cruiser, or Medium Bulk Cruiser

Lambda Shuttle / Assault Transport

 

 

Republic Ships:

 

 

Corellian Gunship

MC-40 (Light)

MC-80 (Winged?)

MC-80b (Mon Remonda)

MC-85? Home-One

Mon Calamari-90

Viscount Star Defender

Assault Frigate

Peregrine Strike Cruiser

Imperial Escort Carrier

 

 

Imperial Ships:

 

Lancer Frigate

Victory Star Destroyer(II)

Enforcer Picket Cruiser

Interdictor Cruiser

Strike Cruiser

Allegiance Star Destroyer Replace with the Dominator?

Imperial Star Destroyer - II Enable for both sides and replace with Dominator?

Super Star Destroyer

Imperial Escort Carrier

Eclipse Star Destroyer

 

4) Not improved, but playable with the AI too.

5) It will be installed over previous installation

6) Not yet in that phase, I believe... just alpha testing now

7) No, but by the time it's FINALLY finished I could almost be married probably, so you can ask for tips here with me

Production model? There are new ship models coming up, yes

9) Time span will be in the Thrawn era, around 5 years after the Battle of Endor.

10) That is the trick of diplomacy... lying and fooling. Nothing will be changed here since the engine will not allow it.

[showboat1]

Is there a character list. I understand that the character limit is still in place, but since its the Thrawn era what characters will be replaced and which will be added?

[Nero]

I'm not a part of their team, but I can make guesses.

Thrawn(of course)

Palleaon

A few extra Moffs i.e. Disra, Dorja(Yeah, he was originally in the game. I'm sure he'll be back.) A few more I don't know.

 

Republic-

Luke(of course)

Leia

I think Lando, I have no idea about him(I'm hoping)

Solo

Wedge, hopefully with a revamped Leadership rating(He becomes General after all)

Mara Jade

Corran Horn

Ackbar

They showed some Noghri in the screenshots. I can't remember the name. There was another one that became a good friend of Leia's in NJO, and died the second book. Unfortunatly I can't remember his name either. (Damn aliens)

 

Remember, I'm just guessing. But I haven't read many EU books. Wishfull thinking probably put Wedge and Lando in there. Lando not so much, but Wedge is an important character in ALL the Stackpole books and a couple Zahn books(not as many). I'm sure that the point you guys are at, probably all the characters are decided, but if you can, LEAVE WEDGE IN IT!!!

 

There goes my big, bold all caps, unwanted, and overall annoying opinionated outburst for today.[/b]

[TK421]

Let's just say that the characters you just mentioned, are very right

And we had the same discussion ending with: Wedge will be in!

[Darthronar]

Well i don't know much about the project and I'm certainly no expert like you guys. But here are some suggestions from this humble fan though it's probably too late:

 

Planets. If you can all also choose starting locations when you make this.

Coruscant Republican.

Here and there strong inner corse presence.

But since the New Republic is still fairly weak a lot of planets 'neutral' (;

 

Empire should mostly be in the Outer Rim. Northeastern sectors I believe and perhaps here and there a pro Imperial planet.

One planet very strong. 'capital'. With the movable H.Q. (as i assume it's them being Rebel Side now in programming so to speak)

 

Chars:

 

Imperial Side:

 

Thrawn

Better command and diplomacy. Good at any grade. Didge the research.

 

Pellaeon

A bit a better leader

 

Daala

Versatile leader but not too good.

 

Isanne Isard

Excellent diplomacy, leadership.

 

Dark Jedi:

 

Jerec: (operates even in classic trilogy)

 

Very strong forceuser and combat guy

A master

 

Yun and Sariss.

Sariss relatively strong in everything but not speciality.

Jedi Knight

Yun extremely strong potential but barely trained.

 

Desann, Brakhiss or Kueller

 

Dark Jedi masters.

 

Boba Fett (why not?)

 

Kir Kanos (Ex Imperial Guard)

Good at combat and espionage.

 

 

Rebel:

 

Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master but not uberstrong)

 

Kyp Durron: Untrained but enormous potential.

 

Kyle Katarn: Somewhat trained. Espionage and combat

 

Leia: Diplomat 1st class

 

Tionne: Diplomat mediocre forcepotential but still Jedi Knight

 

 

SHIPS:

 

Empire:

 

Scratch Death Star and replace with Eclipse Class.

Or Darksaber?

 

Republic:

 

The new heavy cruisers the Republic got in the EU.

 

 

Troops:

 

Empire:

 

No Dark Troopers but replace em with Shadowtroopers or Dark Jedi.

 

Republic:

 

Jedi troops.

[Nero]

I disagree with the replacement of Dark Troopers. Get rid of the Fleet Regiments on both sides.

[Darthronar]

Dark Troopers I doubt will exist still.

Would not be realistic with the Remnant era.

Dark Jedi would.

But i agree with your second comment.

An AT-ST unit or a mechanised regiment would be interesting.

And some other units.

Because the weaker Imperial Regiments are boring like hell (:

[Sudpud]

Why not make the troops progressively better; i.e. stormtroopers...then AT-ATs-then Dark troopers-and then Dark Jedi. Each with progressively more power and production cost.

[Darthronar]

True but than the Dark Jedi should be really pricey. Same with Jedi.

Also the Darkside really needs a COOL replacement for Darth Vader.

Thrawn is a worthy replacement for Palpy.

But what char could at least stand in Vader's shadow.

Who is there Brakhiss, Dessan, Jerec, Kueller,...

[the_mask]

Who is there Brakhiss, Dessan, Jerec, Kueller,...

hmm .... read the book, you must ...

 

Brakhiss, Kueller and Dessan would be too early in this timeframe. Jerec is already slain by that time, IIRC. Same goes for most (all?) of his dark jedi.

[Jahled]

Same goes for most (all?) of his dark jedi.

 

...except if you finnished the game with Kyle sitting on the Imperial throne corrupted by the Dark Side.

 

...You get Sarris as your 'female assistant.'

[TK421]

but would you want that? I prefer Jan Ors actually Especially as pixelated as she is in the first Dark Forces

[the_mask]

Hehe, yeah. I'm with TK on this one. I just couldn't slay Jan and due to the story of JKII, Kyle didn't either in the canon SW-universe

[plokoon9619]

i want to be a beta tester.

[showboat1]

I want to play this thing so bad I'm nearly delirious. Despite all of its limitations, I still LOVE to play Rebellion.

Calm down dude!

 

Right, a while ago you muttered something about voice work and being a busket ball coach experiancing problems with a wife who does what all our other halves do which is look sadly at our 'sad devotion to this ancient game...'

 

Young Luke still needs to be done, as does Han Solo. In both cases a nice American accent is in order, so what do you reckon?

 

This does infact go for anyone who is interested in helping out here. But before you all raise your hands (because we've seen this all before), I want examples of how you sound. I've not got Broadband at the moment,

so send me JUST TWO wav files you hear in the game, and i'll forward them to the other relevant project members, and we'll take it from there.

[showboat1]

I'll see what I can do, though it might not be until next week.

[TK421]

so'I will send you JUST THREE wav files

[Jahled]

You fiend...
