Okay, the Rebs side looks pretty good now, although i'm not sure what the Nebula SD looks like, is there a link anywhere? I'd still like to see something on the Imp side that the Rebels simply cannot match on a one to one basis, so probably a Sovereign or an Eclipse class. I always found it anoying that the Rebels had something to match the SSD in the original. I don't mind them matching the SSD now because an Mc90 can, but i still want somnething that's going to take at least a couple of Mc90's to take down, or 6 or so Mc80's.

Technically, nothing, but i do think we might want to think about what Lucas may or may not have wanted from his own ideas, if we want it to retain that authentic Star Wars feel.

So what about my idea then? You get your B-wing, and the Imps get a good variation of ships.

Hmmm, Luuke, The ship thief, i can't remember his name. RUkh? Thrawns bodyguard, but make his loyalty fairly low. Daala? This is hard!

Now that is cool. Yeh man, our tc is gonna ROCK!!!

I'm liking the avatar. So after the New Year revelry is over, we, sorry, you, can get on with it and we might get to see some textured models? How close would you say we are to seeing some textured models? Do you reckon you've got it sorted and its just a matter of sitting down and doing it now then?

When he says the year do you think he means this year or next year? He might be back in a few days, i hope.

Yap... on the internet? Now this i have to see/hear!

A Jedi with no bias for good nor evil. Interesting. But has he mastered the infinitely spinning saber trick of our good Master Igor yet we wonder?

So ResHack could change the name to a longer name, though you can't with RebEd.

Yeah, JKII was designed for people, not space, and XWA was designed for space, not people. As long as we're nice when we ask them, i can't see a problem. I hope.

Aye, join the club mate. Some of us have no skills, but loadsa ideas, it's soooooooooooo frustrating!!!

Well, i''ve had games last over 20 years by my reckoning, okay so research doesn't happen all the way through, it tends to happen at the start, but do you really want to play with most of the same ships from before? I thought that Mask had found a way to reduce the poly count? We're not going to rip off models, we're going to ask if we can use them, and fully credit all our sources. Would you define canon, i'm begining to see a problem here. Lots of people say, oh this is canon, or this isn't. Do you mean canon as in what appeared in the films, which Lucas wrote. Do you mean canon from the books, which Lucas approved? Or do you mean canon from the computer games which Lucas also approved? Or canon from the West End Games source books, which Lucas approved? Or is there another source that you mean?

Okay, well we seem to have a more or less finished idea of what models we want, i have a feeling that the final decision on a couple may depend on the beauty of your models. Having a few other ships certainly won't hurt for people that want to mod their game a little more. Refer to the ship cards forum to get an idea of what we're looking for. Good luck!

Hmm, i think that the old Xwing needs replacing. If you look at the Rebels they tend to favour something that is more than just a gun platform. Even the Awing has missle launchers. This means that a slightly more rounded force is called for. The Rebs prefer flexibility. A-wing B-wing then research, E-wing XJ3 somethingorother -wing Imps prefer more specialised ships, with the exception of the TIE Defender. Gun platforms and missle platforms, TIE Intercepter TIE Defender then research, Scimiter Droid The Scimiter gives you a good anti-capital ship unit, the Droid gives you swarms of anti-fighter ability.

Interesting. Yes, Lucas did make TIE's superior. But i'm not convinced about the training. The Empire had so many people that they thought they could just throw them against the enemy, drown them in TIE's. Also, the Rebel fighters were described as antique, but the X-wing had only just been designed, the Imperials probably didn't even know that the Rebels had them. And Superioroity works both ways, look at stories of the 181st.

The Marauder is a good ship, if we can find something better, then i think we should use that, fair enough, but if not, let's go with the Marauder. All you people talking about canon; what cannon are you talking about? The films, the Lucas approved books, the Lucas approved games? What makes a source canon? Might we be getting a little carried away here?

Sounds cool, LucasArts insist that the game will not be biased towards people that spend more time online, personally i can't see how that will work, but hey. And i should imagine that there will be an awfull lot of people going without sleep in order to become the most powerful Jedi of the game.

A Jedi Master in our midst we have. But of the light or dark, he says not which. I'd love to play, and probably lose, but i can't play games on my work pc.

I don't remember much about the K-wing, apart from it playing a crucial ole in the BFC (Black Fleet Crisis) books, where it got mauled early on, but once the Rebs realized what was going on they did fine.

I've never heard about this whole defects thing? Where does it occur? I don't remember it in the black fleet crisis.

cheers, i'll check them out.

I guess you're right, the B-wihng was around for much longer, that way we can have, A-wing B-wing E-wing XJ-Wing

Okay, i can live with those four.

Maybe we should look at the cost of shipyards as well?
