Hmm.

 

- It's disputed whether the Death Star can actually target ships?

- When Alderaan was destroyed, the "shockwave" of the explosion

still expanded through the Death Star, like it did in the E3 video. Are they going to correct this?

- The Mon Calimaris aren't exploding too interestingly (a la ISDs).

 

 

Other than that, though, I'm looking forward to it. Neat that they have Byss.

Sweet Home One is in You can Clearly see Courasant Alderan is there also Nice video

[Gen.Vader]

here are my thoughts

 

-the only resource we can see is credits, while things like wood,ither items used for special items will not be in, instead being replaced by planets abilities whuich further supports that if you had for expample mon calamari, you could buildd the home one.

-cant wait to give the death star TRD

-lookout obi wan! its batman!

[Joshinator]

Sweeet! A bunch of goodies and info from that vid! Feb 9 ppl, mark it in your calanders, cause that's when it's commin out, woohoo! I also posted somethin in the military acadamy. AT-AT's look great, the scale looks pretty good now. And yes, u all thought it was Darth Vader, but actually, it's BATMAN!

[Burly]

great footage, however i didnt notice anyone mention or confirm anything about home one....im sure ive seen that same mon-cal ship in a number of screenshots?

Shots from the expo

 

EA is not the official piublisher

 

(Just a few things to mention )

[DarthMaulUK]

Just to clear up confusion

EA publish ALL Lucasarts titles in Australia. And, you don't see the Death Star destroy any ships but around 9mins into the video, the guy with the microphone mentions that you can

Darn I guess this game will only cover up to Episode 5 since I still haven't seen any tie interceptors or SSD or B-Wings

holy hell, it is corellia!

[Cain]

Only one ?! We want more

This looks like Mustafaar to me

If you listen closely to what he is saying, the implication that you can destroy the station or the ships with the Death Star is very heavy, but there is still a possibility that he is referring to conventional destruction with the fleet. I wish they would stop blowing up planets... we have seen that, I want to see it destroy something else. What gets me is that I haven't noticed how the player tells the Death Star to blow up the planet. All I see is the lever to fire. I haven't noticed a targeting move that would indicate the player had to tell the Death Start that the lever being pulled is to blowup planet. This is why I am skeptical about what his statements meant.

 

And another thing: The ships should have been severly damaged in that blast. Look at how far debris was shot out and how close the fleet action was to the planet in relation. There is technical data on the Death Star's shields and how strong they had to be to withstand the resultant blast of a planet exploding. Anyone else think the tie fighters shouldn't have survived that shockwave that extended past the distant Death Star, not to mention the rest of the fleet?

Dam you Nevets you beat me too it, It is Correlia I bet a Star Destroyer from EAW demo that that map is Correlia. Sweet only if I was able to catch that before 1 am Eastern time but I was busy getting ready to sleep Damn you school lol.

 

edit: IMperials getting owned ? pfft maybe they were in another battle and this one was just staged to show what went on

[Ghostly_Substance]

Is it just me or is one of the AT-AT walking sideways on the Hoth Map picture

 

Second last one must be Dagobah since Yoda's Hovel and last one is Mustafar sinc the Lava

 

and if i'm wrong I get to let someone destroy 3 Star Destroyer in EAW demo or full game online Looks like Little.B gets to destory one of my Star Destoyers Lok or Mustafar.........

nah, Mustafar has black rock and black sky. The landscape to me looks like genosis, but it doesn't have lava flows that I know of, maybe they have taken some liberities. both these pics kind of resemble Lok tho:

Hoth doesn't have pine trees I don't think. Perhaps Rhen Var?

 

and good eye on the yoda hovel, didn't notice it.

[Ghostly_Substance]

Hmm isn't Rhen Var icey ????? With no trees tho ? Maybe a seasonal weather climate for a planet ? Maybe a cold part of Correlia since I noticed it had snow in SWG

The Devs have mentioned this before, I think they are planning on adding it into the "polishing" stage (or current stage)

[Ghostly_Substance]

Well then so 1/3 Star Destroyer bets gone I have left to claim that must be Dagobah and Correlia. Lok or Mustafar, we'll find out

 

edit: I still haven't claimed the Winter place yet since it could be any any planet that sees winter.

[Foshjedi2004]

Corellia, Mustafar and Alderaan, That has Temperate and Icy places!!!!

[Wiking_pff]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! That's all I can really say at this point.

I hope so. There are a huge number of things that are tactically and strategically desicive that we have hints at but no useful details.

 

Anyone else notice that we keep seeing the same units and battles over and over? New planets are cool I guess, but having Coruscant is a no brainer. The true thing I want to see is the land battle map for Coruscant. Talk about urban warfare. Realistically, a ground battle for Coruscant would be a tactical and logistical nightmare. There are no fields for open battles. Probably not even enough space to put down a command structure. Wonder how they will handle this and Bespin?

 

These screens and new demo are annoying me in a way because they are rehashing stuff. Makes me kinda worried that they are going to let things slide in a big way because they have the eye-candy appeal and the massive Star Wars purchasing base.

[Foshjedi2004]

Well there are a number of new images which show an urban battle and a few which show mustafar.
