Cool man thanks. So you can capture some enemy units - will they still be yours after the battle ? Too bad you can't capture ships too.

 

Also this issue of not beeing able to retreat if you have Grand Moff Tarkin in your fleet is not good at all. Are you not the supreme comander ? Can't you remove Tarkin from comand and retreat ? Crap i will not want to have him in my fleet. He is affecting gameplay.

"Proton Beam"

 

WTF IS THIS.....There is no such thing. There never was....Why has a completely new Tech been made???

[Junker]

Maybe my translation is not the perfect. Or the discription in the magazine is not the best.

This is a very powerful weapon. You can see it here:

looks like an EMP burst to me...

 

Anyway thanks for the info

[Foshjedi2004]

Maybe it is some sort of Turbolaser Overload Salvo.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

i was going to post about this but it is the picture under Tarkin's name so what is it i think that Phantom's right its a EMP burst .

[Dorkthehunter]

One question: Who is Boda Fett?

 

Also, that should be an EMP blast, but it is powerful!!! At least his army can't retreat!

No, it's the souls of the clones that fought in the clone wars. The souls form a hyper-velocity beam, causing it to shoot towards the enemy, disrupting the time-space continuum and eliminating the enemy by making them appear to have disappeared. *pant, pant*

[Darth Tyrant]

Cool info. If only Thrawn was in the game. Imagine what he could do.

[Nevets]

His fleet to which he belongs, can gain more combat power. But they are not able to retreat.

 

This power would be all well in good, if he could die from it....LIKE IN THE MOVIE!

 

"Evacuate, in our moment of triumph?!"

 

*Tarkin's entire fleet gets detroyed*

 

*gets new fleet*

 

Tarkin: "Well not retreating seemed to work last time...."

 

*entire new fleet gets destroyed*

[Delphi-PG]

Why has a completely new Tech been made???

 

 

It's not new. Watch the intro during Episode III again; you'll see a Jedi Cruiser fire a beam that destroys a nearby enemy ship. It is based on that technology.

[Sabs]

Delphi is right. That's pretty sweet that you put that in though. Looks like it'll be handy.

[Star Wars Man]

But my theory could be right, also..right Delphi? Delphi??? Ah well...

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

Ok I'm going to have to look at that. but Nevets right Tarkin NEVER retreats!

but the emperor has the Force power to Corrupt the local population of a Planet.

[JanGaarni]

But Delphi, Imperial Star Destroyers of that kind (Imperator-Class) arn't equipped with those kinds of weaponary.

 

That's the problem.

 

Obviously, judging by the Accuser seen on the picture there, it is an ISD mark II, which is better than the ISD mark I. Shouldn't that be more than enough of a hero ability in itself?

 

Better armor, better shielding, more firepower ..... I mean, it will outdo all the other ISD's in the game.

Plus, the mark II didn't come out till after ANH, which makes the ship pretty special aswell.

 

Star Wars is best when it's not tampered with too much, and this is a big tampering of the universe.

 

Gonna be a pain fighting off the newbie Star Wars fans that are gonna come and claim ISD's are equipped with these things.

[Darth Tyrant]

His fleet to which he belongs, can gain more combat power. But they are not able to retreat.

 

This power would be all well in good, if he could die from it....LIKE IN THE MOVIE!

 

"Evacuate, in our moment of triumph?!"

 

*Tarkin's entire fleet gets detroyed*

 

*gets new fleet*

 

Tarkin: "Well not retreating seemed to work last time...."

 

*entire new fleet gets destroyed*

 

Tarkin is a character that if you know how to use him, your fleet will be powerfull. In my case I will use when my fleet is strong enough to destroy any opponent.

[JanGaarni]

If he keeps getting my fleets destroyed, I will fire his ass.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

lol i think the best policy for Tarkin is to Fire his Arse into the nearest Black Hole!

[Darth Tyrant]

lol i think the best policy for Tarkin is to Fire his Arse into the nearest Black Hole!

 

Dont be so hard on him, lol. Is a challenge to play with him, with greater power comes risks. Althought you can always station him, he decrease the costs of research on which he is stationed.

[Foshjedi2004]

From what this Image shows I think that the game finishes post ROTJ!!!!

They said the Venator had gone and look here its in. We see MKII ISDs, A-WINGS and Mon Cal Cruisers!! Therefore Post ANH.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

how do you get that its Post ROTJ from that the A-wings are in because they were designed by Dodonna before the End of ANH and the MKII's how can u prove that its a Mk II?

[Foshjedi2004]

Shape: A-wings

 

ATATs: Produced just after ANH.

[Gen.Vader]

i have a question

 

can the production costs stack?

 

like tarkin reduce production costs and palpatine reduce production costs by 25% where they are stationed right? so couldnt you station them on the same planet and make it a 25%+ production cost decrease?

[Faceh]

but delphi that beam in eps III was fired from beneath the republic cruiser near the fighter bay and in that shot it fires from above the accuser

 

gotta get things right now
