The Broadside?

[Infinite_Xero]

I don't!

How bout you?

[Foshjedi2004]

I really don't care about it. Nowhere in SW is there missile Cruisers so they should remove it and return the Marauder Corvette to it's rightfull status. A Pirate Ship..

[Holly-Gan]

I hate it, its junk, it totally doesn't fit in..

[Naja]

I'd be able to tolerate it if more relevant and established ships like the Lancer, Carrack, and now Venator were in.

[Zer_Teron]

I hate it completly, id much rather have the Carrack or something that actually EXISTS(in the star wars universe at least)

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

i cant vote because there is no 'i need 2 use it to make an opinion' thing as that is what i think i have only seen a few things on it and they arent the same as being able to use it combat. once i've seen it in combat and been able to see how useful it is i'll ovte just not yet.

[Stellar_Magic]

I think its okay, sure they've created a new ship, why not? There are missile ships in Star Wars guys, they're not all that common but they're there. Have you guys ever heard of the Imperial Missile Boat? How about the Victory I Star Destroyer? (It has 80 Concussion missile tubes)

 

Though you have to say they didn't show much imagination when they named the ship

[Samheyn]

IMO there is nothing to say against the broadside-cruisers design or the way it could be used in the game. But you (the majority in this case) are right to say that it destroys the original star wars flair in this game. I would be happy if they included this ship beside others like the venator, the carrack, the dreadnought, the lancer etc. Why didn't they take one of these and use it the same way the broadside is meant to be used now?This wont get into my head. Also the Strike Cruiser would have been much more fitting, even if it is a post EPIV design. To make one thing clear once again : The broadside is neither ugly nor would its design be useless.. but it doesn't support the star wars atmosphere...

This is my thoughts exactly. I don't mind new stuff (infact I use to defended it when I thought they were going to have the established stuff), but I wanted to actually see the star wars stuff first.

[sanderke]

I don't mind it if petroglyph adds things to the universe but if you ask me the broadside's design just doesn't fit in with the empire's other units.

That's the only thing I don't like about it though.

That's right. I don't even think a Maruader Corvette even has missle tubes on it. Plus the gunship already has the ability to shoot missles. Anyway I don't really care about the Broadside that much.

[Foshjedi2004]

It has 2 Turbolasers and about 10 laser cannons

[Teradyn_pff]

I don't like the reasoning that would allow the Broadside to exist in the first place and other units, like the Carrack Cruiser, Lancer Frigate, etc are missing. The Venator was seen in a Star Wars official movie, making it superior Canon to written works, and more than games, so it makes no sence to remove it other than to save a popular ship for expansion sales (very f ing nasty and money grubby- becoming a description of LEC and not just EA).

[The Relentless]

They took out the Venator and left THIS?!

[Star Wars Man]

OMFG They took out the Venator and left THIS?!

[noian]

They took out the Venator and left THIS?!

I don't give a rats a**

and Hate it, junk

My thoughts exactly.....

Please someone from Petroglyph read this.

[Megajames2]

it looks preety good and i think the missiles we be a good an changing add to the game, BUT why take out everyones best star destroyer (don't kill me if it's not) an keep a made up ship.

[Little.B]

I love it. I like the design, I like what it is used for. I think I will build a lot of these

[JanGaarni]

They took out the Venator because it was phased out and replaced by the ISD by the time this game starts.

Or they had balancing issues.

 

Either way, the last reason is irrelavent because it fits the Star Wars history up to this point.

 

But to be perfectly honest, if I needed to choose, I'd get rid of the 2 completely made up ships over the Venator, even if it doesn't fit 100%.

[Zer_Teron]

AH KILL HIM

[Grey Jedi]

Frankly I'm not angry at the broadside. It is a new ship and it looks kinda cool(Except for the very stupid name, given what its supposed to do), the tartan also looks nice. The only one I hate is the ugly Frigate MKII

 

What I'm angry about is the fact that the gave these newly created units higher priority than already existing and crucial ships, like the carrack, lancer, Venator, Tie Interceptor, the real assault frigate, the dreadnaught, and many others.

I'm kind of in the dark about the boardside and it's purpose. It sounds like something with turbolasers lining the sides so it could punish the enemy ships from it sides kind of like the old colonial age galleons.

 

Could anyone post a pic of the broadside for me?

[Diesalot]

hmm, I wonder if the new units created in this game will be used in SW literature like units off star wars rebbellion, (like the Rebel Dauntless cruiser)

The 'Broadside' is a missle cruiser, that is why i'm surprised its called that.

thanks for the pic and you are right. Why is called the broadside if nothing about it is broad? It reminds me of the Missle destroyers from HomeWorld. They could have called it something simple like that instead of a name that almost nothing to do with the appearence or purpose of the ship.
