Any news on Sabotage?

[Rogue NineCH]

Awhile back we talked about sabotaging ships while they are being built, and I was wondering if anyone knew if this was going to be ingame or not?

Yes we have! It shows in the 47 min. video(on empireatwar.net for anyone who want to know) that ships are built over time. The time that the galactic map in the video is set at is extremely high though. I'm not sure if you can change it though. I'm pretty sure that you should be able to destroy ships as they are being built. The name of the thread should probably being changed to something like Destroying Ships Before Built.

I wish that sabotage was in game however i dont think that it is. I like your sig btw Dork, youll need to protect people from me i suppose, i must really be in trouble cause my IQ is more than 100 points over that, lol but im a republican so i would probably be considered by many here to already be retarded, oh well, lol

Did you not read anything that I wrote???!!!!!!Grrrrrrrrr......all of that work for people to bypass it! And you wonder why I went insane? (rhetorical question)

[Vader89]

Yeah well there is a difference b/w destroying ships before they are finished and the sabotage im referring to, if youve ever played rebellion thats the sabotage i mean...

[Rogue NineCH]

What I'm talking about Dork is watching your brand new ISD pulling out of the shipyard and two seconds later it explodes. Missions you can send heroes or covert teams on to destroy specific enemy targets. It would be great if they have sabotage, but we can only hope.

What do you mean? Like destroying ships? huh?

[Rogue NineCH]

Destroying ships, enemy structures, assassinations, things like that. For instance in ground combat, you send in a covert team or a hero to take out a shield generator or a heavy weapons factory. In space, taking out the enemy's brand new top line ship as it leaves the shipyard. That's what I am referring to.

 

We know espionage is featured in the game since the Rebels have to steal the plans for the Death Star and the prototypes of the X-Wing. To me it would only make sense to have sabotage as well.

Umm, isn't that kind of a silly question? Of course you can do that, how else will you win. Just having nothing die or buildings destroy....

You still don't understand what I am talking about. Yes you have ships and troops to defend your bases and attack the enemy's bases. I am talking about secret missions that you can send heroes and/or special forces on to take out specific enemy targets.

 

Such as having a squad of commandoes who will infiltrate an enemy base to take out their shield generator; to make the job of conquering the base easier for your forces. Having a special covert squad that can swing the tide of the battle in your favor by destroying a critical structure that weakens the enemy base.

 

Another would be to have a squad of commandoes infiltrate an enemy shipyard to take out their newly built Battle Cruiser. Let's say you're the Rebels and you are watching your brand new MC-90 come out of the Mon Calamari Shipyards, then suddenly it explodes due to sabotage by an enemy commando unit. All those resources and time spent building it are gone. That would be a huge blow to your war effort.

 

What I am talking about is in addition to regular warfare. It's clandestine warfare to weaken the enemy from within, while you attack from without.

Heres another good example:

 

Your new ISD is 2/3 of the way finished...itll be done in 15 min (example) and then....

 

 

BOOOOMMM!! Kyle Katarn had snuck aboard the shipyard and blown the under construction ISD to very tiny pieces.

Thats what i meant

All great examples of what I was referring to, thanks guys.
