Moriarty101 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'll by that for a dollar How about selling it on the black market. All It Takes For Evil To Flourish Is For Good Men To Do Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joyce Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Well if you do scrap the death star you could be rich. Just think of all the metal that you can sell, Anyway there are some uses for it like an endor style trap. The new age of the Empire has come!

Darkmark Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Think of it as a hero. Can you sell heroes? NO. I figure since it's such an important part of the storyline, scapping it seems a bit pointless. If you've got nothing else other than the DS left to scap then you're probably already fighting a lost battle.

Teradyn_pff Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Think of it as a hero. Can you sell heroes? NO. I figure since it's such an important part of the storyline, scapping it seems a bit pointless. If you've got nothing else other than the DS left to scap then you're probably already fighting a lost battle. If you are strapped for cash, then the DS would be the first thing you would scrap. We dont know if there are maintenance points though like in rebellion, so it may be necessary to get rid of some units rather than lose them to maintenance.

Nevets Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I figure since it's such an important part of the storyline, scapping it seems a bit pointless. If you've got nothing else other than the DS left to scap then you're probably already fighting a lost battle. If your fighting a lost battle, you need to do something drastic, like selling your DS. I am sure you could get a lot of money for it to help reinforce your fleet and maybe turn the tide of battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teradyn_pff Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 If you can scrap your ships, I would like it if they did it the way that Star Trek Armada II did it. You had to take your ship back to a shipyard and it took a while to dismantle it. I think about 25% as long as it took to make it would be a good number as well as tying up the shipyard until it is done. It should not be an instant money thing.

Gen.Vader Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 okay, i wasnt talking about the DS exclusively, as i said it was an example... i want to know if we can sell our stuff for a refund and how it will happen...

Grand Moff Joyce Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 If we can get the DS dismanteld you could get 75% back. No one wants to make money like that. The new age of the Empire has come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen.Vader Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 but hte point isnt to make money, it is to recuperate money on a ship that you have no use for anymore,ANY ship, not just DS I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkthehunter Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Why sell it? Why not send it on a noble Crusade and either blow up some planets, send it as a distraction, act like you're going to blow up all of their planets(bluff), blow up some capital ships (if you can), slaughter countless numbers of Rebel fighters that are trying to get past lots of Lancer Frigates and the like to get to the Death Star. I'm even going to be the Rebels, and I can come up with a lot of fun uses for the Death Star. I MAKE TACTICS FUN! Yay! Protecting the world from those who have an IQ higher than 30! Huzzah!

Grand Moff Joyce Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Well you could take over a planet. Get all the the upgrade from it then destroy it. The new age of the Empire has come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkthehunter Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 You can't destroy your own planet. Why would you want to destroy the planet if you could get a bunch of money from it anyway?

Gen.Vader Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 you guys miss my point......THIS ISNT A DS THREAD!!!! it was just an example, i have said so from the first post, im just curious about the sell feature in the game, if it is in, and if it is going to be anything like in the C&C series, would it just sell on the spot? or have a cool unique animation and other selling ideas too.....

Ghostly_Substance Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 if its small enough watch it return to the planet at half price so you can get other kind of upgrades your waiting for If its big maybe have it dock in a shipyard or if its huge have it sold piece by piece and buy something else. -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...
Gen.Vader Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 lets not get into percents here, we dont know if this is in or not and we just dont have enough info, this is just hypothetical and wishful thinking that i hope is implemented, because westwood had a good idea with thier sell button in C&C or what they could do is if they were by a sun, first the ship would go to a nearby planet, have everything valuable/useful taken away, and throw the unusable stuff in the nearby star..that would be a pretty sweet animation I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joyce Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I am not sure if you could just sell it in a flash. Just Imagine.

Gen.Vader Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 it worked for C&C, and i think it was only applied to vehicles and buildings not in combat, so it all works out in the end I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joyce Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I think you can sell while its bieng built but not when its complete. The new age of the Empire has come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen.Vader Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 what makes you say that? i hate to keep bringing up C&C but it used it and look where the series went...legendary! I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanGaarni Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 If you are allowed to sell/scrap a unit, it would be done out of combat, just as building units is done out of combat. http://www.lfnetwork.com/images/lfnlinker.gifStar Wars: Empire at War.Net Moderator&SWGalaxies Moderator Co-Leader of The Affiliates! -A-- What we do in life, echoes in eternity!- May the pants be with you!
