SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted November 13, 2006 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted November 13, 2006 as of right now no eclipse II, though I would like to do it at some future date some more shots (I also fixed a lot of texture problems on the SSD) http://warlords.swrebellion.com/junk/work/ss00017.jpghttp://warlords.swrebellion.com/junk/work/ss00018.jpghttp://warlords.swrebellion.com/junk/work/ss00019.jpghttp://warlords.swrebellion.com/junk/work/ss00020.jpghttp://warlords.swrebellion.com/junk/work/ss00021.jpghttp://warlords.swrebellion.com/junk/work/ss00022.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freek Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Looking great eville , though you might want to use AntiAlias 2x if you want to make the shots look that bit more smooth.

SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted November 13, 2006 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted November 13, 2006 hand me $300 for a good video card and then I might be able to (still running a 9800 pro) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dojoyoda_warlords Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 A 9800 pro! You think that's bad, try a 9600XT in an old P4 and see what you get!!! ;D If the executor crosses the bow of the eclipse, it's over. One superlaser cooked super star destroyer coming right up! I think in a broadside confrontation though, the Executor wouldn't do so badly. It packs 250 heavy turbos, 250 regular turbos and 250 concussion missile launchers to the eclipse's 500 turbos and 500 lasers. The heavy turbolasers and concussion missiles would certainly help to shift the balance. Ultimately, the Executor would probably lose out to the Eclipse due to the latter's sheer bulk. The resulting damage from such a battle would be massive enough to mean that Eclipse wouldn't be going anywhere in a hurry in the immediate future, if at all. On that note, will there be a 'Duel' style of gameplay? The PDS crew have put together a brilliant menu system (version 7.3) so you can select 3 or 4 ships on each side to battle it out. If that, or something similar could be applied to Warlords..........drooling right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted November 15, 2006 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'll look into it. I've wanted to do something, but only have so much time to put things in and get them working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Uzumaki Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 That looks awsome Eville jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrlsthgreat Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Lol. I can't believe how huge the Eclipse is...the Executor looks like a toy next to it. It'd be funny to see the Eclipse vs. Death Star. Superlaser vs. superlaser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venator Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 It has been stated somewhere (I believe it was the Essential Guide for Vehicles and Vessels) that the Eclipse's superlaser could take out a city but not an entire planet. That said, the Eclipse doesn't stand a chance against the Death Star. The Eclipse would fire and the Death Star would likely get tickled and then fire right back, annihilating the Eclipse as easily as it annihilated Alderaan.

Mace Uzumaki Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I thought that the first shot cracked the crust of a planet and the next one hit the core and boom went the planet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted December 13, 2006 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted December 13, 2006 it was designed to pierce a planetary shield and burn up a continent think of it this way, the eclipse is using 1 emitter from the deathstar (immediatly much less power) then it has a vastly smaller reactor to charge from (A whole day to kill a continent, the DS2 could do a planet evaporator in a few hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Uzumaki Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 hmm i thought that the deat hstar maybe took what 30 minutes to charge its laser? But atleast the eclipse can destroy most ships in one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowlegion421 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 i do like the eclipse v. executer duel, but it really highlights a huge flaw in the ai. i dont know why you did it this way, but whenever capital ships are ordered to attack something, they turn towards it, regardless of whether they are in range. not a huge deald for reb ships, but its a huge detriment to imperials. the star destroyer design is meant for broadsides. facing a target, an SD is lucky if it can bring 1/3 of its weapons to bear on a target, whereas if they would remain at whatever orientation they were at when given the attack order if they are in range, or are programmed like the destroyers from vanilla hw2 which orient to deliver a broadside to whatever target they were ordered to attack, the executer would have a chance, because, as ridiculous as this is, it is much faster and more maneuverable than the eclipse. the executer would be able to win the duel, in game at least, if it did not change its orientation to attack. i had a lot of luck sending the executer far below the eclipse, and having it attack from below, then continue up to one side of the eclipse, then attack from above. the eclipse takes a long time to orient itself, and the executer is capable of pounding down the eclipse' shields while still absorbing most of the damage it takes. since the executer insists on facing the eclipse, its only fires with the forward maybe 1/4 of its batteries, since the ones midship and aft are all kilometers away. if it stayed oriented, say top facing the underbelly of the eclipse, it could fire almost all of its batteries at once. the same issue, to a lesser degree, presents itself with all of the wedge-shaped ships, most notably imperial.

SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted September 28, 2007 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted September 28, 2007 it was a choice between giving the player complete control over orientation, but the AI having no control (face whatever direction you were last moving in) , or have the human controlled and AI controlled work the same way, almost everyone plays vs the AI so I made the choice. the ISD is slightly modified so that it can fire forward if you notice, and many of its guns work in that configuration in the game (and all that really matters is its big guns which have forward arcs due to the modifications,all the other guns are for crowd control) the executor and eclipse are in mostly as a joke, they are too stupidly huge to be practical and way too powerful to even attempt to rationalize inside the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowlegion421 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 bah, poppycock. the executer is totally balanced...maybe. so basically, it is a game engine limitation, since you had to choose one or the other. lameness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
