Decimator

[Ghostly_Substance]

Its close to looking like the Deci but it aint Maybe it is but only a prototype

[Vader89]

So wait, is this decimator in This game a small fighter, medium sized ship or some class of star destroyer?

[TSKNF]

It ain't the decimator it's a demolisher-class star destroyer.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Not in Clone Campaign. But its in this EAW game

[Vader89]

Getting back to my earlier question than this is a medium sized ship?

[Ghostly_Substance]

yup from what I can tell. Weapons on top and bottom. Can carry about 50 stormtroopers if no equipment is in the way. I'll mass produce these and win over the Rebels Wonder if these can land and pour out troopers on planets

[Darkmark]

Seems like almost all the Imperial ships should be able to land on the surface. But yeah, it's a pretty cool medium ship. I wouldn't mind trying them out against the rebels.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Well now you made me think if the Decimator might be able to land and deploy troops. Maybe it can or cant. Maybe it would only bring supplies or just go on spying missions.

[Foshjedi2004]

Maybe its the basis for the Assault transport and some of the EU ships like the Doomgiver and Sovereign Star Destroyer.

[Admiral Cotla Charre]

I'm pretty sure it was developed just for swg. Maybe fosh knows for sure?

 

That's correct, this ship, along with most of the Hutt Fighters and the Rebel-Multipassenger ship, were all designed for the purpose of SWG. However! Because of Lucas-Licensing doing an absolute fantastic job of controlling the SW-Universe, all these ships were permanently added to the Star Wars Universe, which means they are interchangeable between games. This type of continuity in a universe is absolutely fantastic!

 

In other words, now that its been added, we may have never seen it in the movies, we may have never seen it anywhere in a book or comic or anything, but it still existed through all those. Any author, programmer, or artist could make use of it now in their work and it would be a legitimate Star Wars ... thing.

 

Well I still cannot find anything in the canon about the V-49 Decimator. The closest thing which looks like it is the Doomgiver from JKII. The only thing i can think of is that you may have gotten an image of 2 things meeting at the same time.

 

I just noticed Foshjedi said that earlier... and for the same reason, it wouldn't have been in the Canon until that official addition. Eventually it will show up, and if you were to ask LucasArts to verify its existence, they'd have no trouble finding out its information.

It's a medium ship as far as the videos tell. Almost as large as the unknown imerpial cruiser. As it seems it has a larger amount of torpedo/missile banks because in one video you can see them (actually you cant see the two Decimator firing but they are the only ships located where the missiles are coming from) firing a large amount of missiles at an incoming squadron of A-Wings.

[Ghostly_Substance]

In SWG a normal Decimator only used its lasers found on top and bottom. Firing missles ? Wow nice upgrade

 

edit: You could upgrade the Decimator to have missles or whatever but I didn't want to mess around with it and just wanted to have fun.

[Vader89]

This ship sounds really sweet, im gonna have to build alot of them!

[Little.B]

The quality is not the best but I hope you can see it

The two Decimator and the missiles. They are also firing with lasers so I think they will be the counterpart of the Corellian Gunships. Most likely to encounter rebel spacefighters.

[Foshjedi2004]

looks more like the Liberator Cruiser to me!!!!

[Ghostly_Substance]

Hey on that map there is a circle. I'm guessing thats either the planet or the capture area ? You can also see the 2 decimators in the menu there. So its easy sorting out somewhat like "Rome Total War".

[Foshjedi2004]

They're blooming Liberator Cruisers!!!!!

[Darkmark]

I think Fosh is right here.

Sure looks more like the ships in the video.

[Vader89]

Yeah, looks like it. Alright why dont we just put this in the next interview and put this thread to rest! Its tough to tell from those pictures though, but the on Darkmark just posted looks like it only a little jaggeder (if thats a word) but we'll never know until we ask or get some better screenshots. Okay one last question, what is this Liberator Cruiser armed with? And is it strong?

[Admiral Cotla Charre]

Granted, but how is the Imperial player controlling them? (unless they were captured, which help to propagate the capturing argument)

[Joshinator]

The Liberator crusier in SW: Rebellion was a very strong crusier/carrier. She could hold 6 sqadrons of fighters, 2 or 3 units of ground troops, and take on an Imp Star without much difficulty.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Well then shall be make a list of questions now and wait till delievery day ? By the time that date might come I might of forgotten or wouldn't care

 

Well I still place 1000 credits that its a Decimator Btw Decimators could hold missles but I guess Petro upgraded the original Deci Well if anybody find anything else to do with Decimators please post

[TSKNF]

I'd like to sa first I had a lovely holiday and second say didn't we already point out that that ship is the demolisher-class SD? It looks more like it than the decimator or the liberator, so that's where my money is.

[Little.B]

mh Picture of it?

 

Its to big to be Decimator and to small (to weak) to be a Liberator (which has not been used by the Empire). So I'm confused now

 

*EDIT*

 

mh. The Demolisher could fit very well! Only the command tower seems a bit too large.

[Demolisher-class star frigate]

 

* type: frigate or light destroyer

* name:

* nickname: Demolisher

* builder: Sienar Fleet Systems ?

* length: 0.495 - 0.580 km

* volume:

* engines:2

* weaponry:

* internal docking: major

* fighters: several squadrons

* reference: Droids cartoon

 

In the Droids cartoons a band of vicious pirates under the leadership of the nefarious Kybo Ren-Cha were in possession of a small stolen warship built to the standard design aesthetics of a Kuat Drive Yards vessel. Subtle scale cues in the cartoon suggest that the ship is significantly smaller than an Imperator-class star destroyer, and should probably be classed as a star frigate.

 

The command tower is large in proportion to the rest of the ship, which is in itself one of the factors hinting at the vessel's smaller dimensions. The tower is as wide and long as its support structures; seemingly a fifth as long as the entire vessel.

 

The bridge interior matches the popular kind with crew pits and a panoramic viewport array. However most of the windows are rectangular rather than triangular. The deck plating is bronze. The exit corridor is narrower than those of larger ships, and the bridge is somewhat less spacious overall.

 

Instead of the three large primary sublight thruster nozzles of an Imperator-class star destroyer, the Demolisher has only two. Each of these appears to be smaller than the equivalent part of a star destroyer, though the thruster mechanisms partly protrude from the superstructure as twin ridges on the dorsal hull.

 

The single docking bay seems somewhat smaller than the primary bay of a star destroyer, and it is located at the prow of the star frigate, effectively cutting the usual dagger-like point into a pair of mandibles. The relative scale of smaller starships seen launching from the bay or manoeuvring near the frigate imply a ship length of only a few hundred metres.

 

The main hangar extends to nearly the entire width of the bay, making it significantly broader and more voluminous than the smaller but more numerous hangars of the primary bay of an Imperator-class destroyer. The number of stolen TIE starfighters in the pirates' Tarnoonga lair, which presumably were aboard Demolisher when it was stolen, indicates that the standard fighter compliment is between two and three squadrons.
