What type of ship is that?

[Makwu]

I know I have seen this ship before, but haven't seen it on any of the EAW sites.

on the far left infront of the corellian gunship and the unknown reb cruiser?

[Ghostly_Substance]

I'm as puzzled as you. I have no clue and I want to know its history and waht it is.

[Joshinator]

Looks like a port aft profile of a murader corevette to me

 

*edit* is that what u ment? if u could, circle what u are trying to point out, only other odd thing i see are badly profiled a-wings. If those are what your refering to.

[Little.B]

Yes it's (or most people think) that it is a Marauder Corvette. You can see them in some of the videos. On this shot it looks very..... ugly.

[TSKNF]

I've pointed it out before, it's the marauder. Don't worry Little.B, I think they improved the model since then.

[Little.B]

Yes they did. In the movies it looks way better. Even with textures! *WEEEE!*

[Ghostly_Substance]

O that ship, thought you meant the big Rebel transport

edit: I meant Rebel transport like ship ^ That big new prototype like thing.

[Hadoken13]

most definately a morauder corvette

[Vader89]

Thank god i saw a marauder corvette i thought i was gonna see the Liberator Cruiser/Decimator thing again!

IT'S A DEMOLISHER-CLASS STAR DESTROYER

[Vader89]

WHAT EVER! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT!!!!!!!! THIS FRICKIN SHIP IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!

[The Relentless]

Ok... So there's an A-Wing, an X-Wing and a Marauder-class Corvette in that screen, but what's that last one? The one on the left, there's two of them. Those have been bugging me for some time, answers, anyone?

[TSKNF]

Nobody knows. I'm not sure Petroglyph has named them yet...

[The Relentless]

I thank you, Indum.

[Vader89]

Yes a petroglyph creation i believe, and an interesting one at that!

[Hadoken13]

i hate it when games make up new ships more stuff to remember plus people who never played the game don't know about it cuz it isn't referenced anywhere else

[Vader89]

Petro prolly had some balancing issues that they had to deal with or perhaps just felt like making a new ship!

[Swiftdraw]

I'm sure if they looked hard enough they would have found enough things to balance the game. Probably they wanted to be creative and add something new to the Star Wars universe. You know, leave their mark as it were.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Star Wars series of movies is finished unless someone wants to expand on it. Also now it all depends on mini series and games to keep the series alive so why not expand in the EU section ? If it keeps the Star Wars series alive might as well try it.

There are more than enough ships already, but I guess if it's an older generation ship we simply didn't see in the movies (like a Dreadnaught) then it's not that bad. Trouble is when you make up a current-generation (around the time of the first movies) ship you get the whole can of worms "why wasn't it mentioned in the books?" So I really hope it's just a civilian ship from the clone war era retrofitted to carry guns or something.

Actually that's fine, but the trouble is, I don't think they should expand what is already well-established. Tacking on random ships and vehicles that played a large role in the Galactic Civil War shouldn't be something done lightly. They would've been mentioned countless times in the books/comics already (or at least in the sourcebooks) if they were really there. Rebellion, Force Commander, Galactic Battlegrounds already made a bunch of new vehicles/starships that were never mentioned in the books (although to its credit, FC did use a lot of sourcebook material), why do it again?

 

Instead if they want to make something new and that will be a *true* addition to the universe they should concentrate on post-NJO.. or better yet in a completely different era altogether like the Great Hyperspace War, Great Sith War, Mandalorian War, or anything like that. It worked for KotOR, didn't it? Nobody complained about it being untrue to the universe, especially when they managed to work so many EU things in it like the MW+GSW.

 

With all that being said, I have faith in Petroglyph. I'm sure LucasArts pressured to have them invent a few new things anyways, why bother using your time to look up things such as Imperial-class Repulsortanks when you could use a TIE Crawler look-alike (yet not the TIE Crawler). Or the Hover Tank T1-B when you could make up a brand new unknown tank. Anyways, as long as it's a good game, it doesn't really matter, most of the sourcebook vehicles are ugly, I can't blame them .

[HarkDawg]

space station??? perhaps... tough to tell

[Foshjedi2004]

Just so you know, Substance proved that the ship is the Decimator!!

 

I think that it could be some sort of Assault frigate.

[The Saint]

A marauder corvette, a corellian gunship and an unknown rebel warship..I myself think its a command ship of some sort..maybe early on before you get the Mon Cals...cant wait to get my hands on it. It'll be like a shiney new toy of death and destruction.

[Stellar_Magic]

In style and basic design it reminds me of the Bulwark from Star Wars Rebellion, maybe a vessel manufactured by the same company.

[Foshjedi2004]

What Transgal Shipping. Yeah I agree that it could be the Battlecruiser's little brother, however it could also be the Rebel Assault frigate or even the Dauntless Cruiser from SWR.
