General Ackbar Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 will the imperials be able to launch prob drops from SD to scope out planets? or cant you do that since you need to capture the space part first? Its a trap! -Admiral Ackbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadoken13 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 i would hope this would be a major way for imperials to find stuffs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkmark Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Medium to high probability of probe droids appearing there in my opinion. What other early scout could you want? Oh, speeder bikes, yeah. Hmmm... Probe droids are still likely though.

Admiral Nova Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah. I'd like some HK droids from Kotor 2. Limitless supply of assassin droids bent on mayhem and precision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmaster3265 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I don't think it will be any probe droids types from expanded universe etc. sicne the game starts few years after episode 3 to episode 6 i believe http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/1135/jmaster3265signew13rd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevets Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I don't think it will be any probe droids typesfrom expanded universe etc. sicne the game starts few years after episode 3 to episode 6 i believe There has been no real say on how late in the Star Wars timeline things will go, just it starts a few years before A New Hope. So after that all rules are gone, you make the Star Wars story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So after that all rules are gone, you make the Star Wars story. You are certainly right... but this games title is "empire at war", so it sounds like its all about the rebelion era and ends with the liberation of coruscant (which is after all the real end of the empire, even if the wars ending was obvious after the battle of endor). I think that there won't be any units which were developed or produced after the battle of endor. So the TIE Defender might be in whereas ships like the E Wing or the Mon Remonda not.

Naja Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Here's what I can infer, judging from what we know so far: - Rebels get a ubiquitous intelligence network, i.e., they can see everything the Empire is doing. - The Empire has nowhere near that level of knowledge about those elusive Rebels, so they rely on surveillance technology like Probe Droids and TIE Scouts to not stay completely blind. - Both sides can buy the services of bounty hunters, although naturally the Empire will be predisposed to the task - at least for the beginning of the game - due to their superior economic starting position.

Samheyn Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 As I said in another topic : The games name itself suggests that the timeline ends around epVI. Sure,after the battle of endor there are still many worlds under the control of the empire but I don't think there will be any EU related story as there is no evidence. The screens and feeds didn't reveal any units (or heros) from the post-endor timeline. Perhaps there is an option to play the game without any story and conquer the universe the way you would like to without any endor-like event, but even without endor happening I doubt that things from the post-endor timeline will be used for the game. And so at least EaWs technological and story-timeline only covers pre-EPIV to EPVI.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphi-PG Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yes, probe droids will be used by the empire on a galactic level. They need to be researched first before they can be brought into play. It is a very sneaky unit, especially in multiplayer campaign mode.

Juggernaut1985 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Not at all, its the Hunter Killer version as I've said before. Used for system pacification. 150 meters of droid. PS if you are a smuggler, don't go near them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
