Sparky Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Okay...because of the recent post by Delphi-BG with the fact that the SSD appears to late in the technological timeline, but not the A-wing. What is the timeline for the game...i thought it was supposed to go through Ep 6? Sparky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn2008 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Very good point! I mean why is the A-Wing on there? Wasnt that episode 6? According to my interperatation of the post, the game ends at Battle of Yavin. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg> Petroglyph Forums Moderator> LucasForums Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut1985 Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I'm also confused now, but it just means more stuff to mod in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ackbar Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 meh. i think they are just gunna put a few things that are just a little outside of the timeline, and thats ok with me. they only said it STARTS before ep 4. doesnt say that it ends anytime before ep 6 Its a trap! -Admiral Ackbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Let's all calm down people. Yes the SSD thing caused almost an uproar, but we need to move on. Let this bring us together, not farther apart. Now as far as the timeline goes, the A-Wing was developed right after Yavin, so it's possible that it was close enough on the tail of Yavin to be included. The SSD (which is going to be modded in) is kind of later after Yavin than A-Wings (not exactly sure on this), plus there is really no need for an SSD. Sure it would be cool, but I trust Petroglyph and any reasons they may have to put certain units in and keeping others out. One unit will not make or break the game for me. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Its not that they are keeping out units, it is that instead of using these units not in, they are making up units (Broadside). I would rather see Star Wars ships then made up ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see Star Wars ships then made up ones.I agree with you. Instead of the broadside they may have used the Carrack Cruiser instead, but as I said I trust Petroglyph to do the game right. Any units that may be "missing" from the game will be modded in. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen.Vader Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 to claarify on the timeline it starts before ep 4 with late clone war tech and moves up until you have researched everything, to note though, since the timeline is ALTERABLE dont think of the game according to episodes 4-6, it just starts after ep 4 and goes,you can make up your own episodes! kill luke off the bat! convince yoda to the dark side and etc. I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makwu Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 "The first four Executor-class ships were constructed in the months following the Battle of Yavin and the destruction of the first Death Star. Before the Battle of Yavin Imperial Navy engineer Lira Wessex designed these sleek, dark, immense vessels to inspire dread in any possible opponent." "The Alliance brain trust of General Jan Dodonna and engineer Walex Blissex developed the A-wing starfighter after examining the role of speed in the Battle of Yavin and the sleek fighters developed by the Tamuuz-an. The top-secret result of their experimentation was the A-wing, the fastest vessel of the Galactic Civil War. " "Although the Interceptor only made its appearence in Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars Sourcebook (for the Star Wars Roleplaying Game) has stated that the Interceptor has existed at the time of the Battle of Yavin, where Imperial Star Destroyer's 6 TIE squadrons was a squadron of Interceptors (4 squadrons of standard TIE Fighters, 1 squadron of TIE bombers)." “The first hastily-converted MC80 star cruiser appeared shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Soon, many of these vessels were in service with the Rebel Alliance, providing a much-needed boost in military power.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen.Vader Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 darn ssex people making the best ships......but hey we can change all that! depending on how extreme pertro can be we could have a wings much sooner than before the battle of yavin, again with the alterable timeline thing I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 to claarify on the timeline it starts before ep 4 with late clone war tech and moves up until you have researched everything, to note though, since the timeline is ALTERABLE To clarify my question i prolly should have said Technological Timeline. So using the movies as the timeline how far into the movies technology will be able to progress. So will be able to get the technology eg: ships, fighters, units, etc past a certain point Movies Technological timeline? Sparky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hmm well EU theres things we never saw so maybe there was things just being produced but saw action in different parts of the galaxy the Imperials controled ? I dont mean EU as in after episode 6 but EU during episode 3-4ish. You know prototypes to actual vehicles that saw combat for whatever reason. So my guess is that all these made ups and realy ones saw action somewhere else beside movie spots. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanGaarni Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Well, since the SSD is out, I guess we can write off the ISD mkII aswell, since that one is an even later design change than the Executor.

DarthMaulUK Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 The reason why the A-Wings etc are probably in the screenshots, is just to showcase some of the ships to the media and fans. For example, they placed a Rancor on Tatooine, just to show its use in the game. I would imagine the time line would have the A-Wing as a late developement unit DMUK The Lucasfan Networkwww.lfnetwork.com Empire At War - the new RTSwww.empireatwar.net Star Wars Battlefront.

JanGaarni Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Remember, there might be another reason why they stuck a Rancor on Tatooine. They did indicate they are under the impression that it's indigenous to Tatooine. Krayt Dragons are indigenous to Tatooine, Rancors are indigenous to Dathomir. I hope you're right though, DMUK.

Delphi-PG Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 That sucks. Its a really short game then Crying or Very sad Not really, the game does take place 3-4 years before EP 4 and ends at EP 4. We've added a lot of stuff and fiction to keep fans happy. =) Though it is one of many missions, aquiring X-wing technology is pretty darn cool. =P Man, I better stop with the info before I get a whip too the back.[/i] Delphi-PGGame Designer/Community Rephttp://www.petroglyphgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
