Simply put we're doing a tc to the Thrawn period. Have a look in the other forums if there are particular areas you're interested in.

I'll have a look. I saw some screenshots for this, but how complete a conversion are we looking at? Are we talking most of the Star Wars ships here? Including fighters and Corellian Corvettes. All i saw were Dreadnoughts. Please tell me someone changed the Mothership into a Death Star!!! And carriers are ESSD's. Heavy cruisers should be SSD's etc etc.

'Planned for release in Spring 2003' is the official line. Decide what you will. I hope they do.

Yeah, posting, it's this thing we do that lets us talk.

OOC: That's fine. Develop your background and we'll use it. I'm not sure what's happening about Jedi stuff yet, but wait and see.... i have a cunning plan. In fact it's quite scary that you brought that up after my little brainstorming session about where to go with this.

Anno Domini 1602 right? I'll buy it if i find it at a reasonable price.

My Mum and three sisters got a lot of their presents during the summer. My brother hasn't got anything yet, and my dad remains an enigma!!! I got everything early this year because i knew exactly what i needed to get.

Obviously Palpatine. Seriously though, the greatest ruler of all time? That's too easy for me!!! You might think me odd, but for me it has to be God.

Oops, my bad. Erm, how about, Rumplestiltskin and Cinderella

Oh so it's you! She was saying she had a boyfriend, who was totally devoted to Star Wars moan moan la de da... Sorry mate, we're having an affair. Nah not really, she sounds damn nice mate. Congrats. Unfortunately, or perhaps not, i'm young free and single.

Okay, here's what i think, and it's as close as anything you'll hear to any sort of answer. The answer is, they're equal. Ultimately we're looking at two different cultures. Both based on predominately humans, with a mix of aliens thrown in. We don't know how far along they are in their comparitive timnelines, so it may well be that one is more advanced than the other because they've been around for longer. Assuming these two cultures ever met, there is not guaruntee that they would go to war, especially later on in the SW timeline when the Empire is all but gone. If they were to go to war we would face a prospective stalemate. Each side follows the basic principals of science and logic. Thus weapon would be met with new shield, and new shield with new weapon. This is effectively the same as in any war. The tank was invented, the anti-tank gun was developed to counter it. We end up in a circle of retribution and scientific advance. I would propose that a ST vs SW war would ultimately come down to one factor, and one factor only. How far the people of the culture are prepared to go to win. However, much like the situation in the middle east we would most probably discover that both sides were equally comitted to their ideals and so on. Now i realise i've contradicted myself in talking about ideals, because the Empire would likely be the only people to fight against the ST guys, however, i was merely seeking to point out that the Suncrusher and more advanced weapons came later. It appears to me that we would only see a winner if one side were to realise the futility of the struggle. Star Fleets mandate is to explore and chart, not to provoke. The New Republic would welcome Star Fleet. What we should really be asking is what would happen after that. The might of the New Republic, Chiss, Star Fleet and all the other goodies, including the Jedi, against all the baddies. The Empire, Yuuzhan Vong, the guys from Bakura, the Borg etc. A fusion of all these technologies would create unimaginable technologies. The war would be waged across galaxies, (note the use of the plural). Ultimately, it would make a damn good film or game. Here endeth the lesson.

Okay, excuse my dumbness, but what is MoO3 actually about? I'm guessing some sort of strategy, but what are we talking about? Space, fantasy, historical?

This might prove to be a problem.

Well, i have no idea, maybe we should have a forum where people can post that they've put a new card in, and say little about what it is etc etc.

Weeeeell, what a good idea! Not at all goofy. However, very hard to do well. I think what we have here is something to look at in the light of Greg's development. I haven't seen Greg here in ages, so i don't know if he's around, but it's well worth talking to him about it. I know it's something i'd like to see. Similarly, maybe we should be able to send fighter squadrons on recon missions. Or even capital ships.

Well it was release=d in Britain today, so now i'm allowed to say. One of the advantages of being a 'local' at the nearest Gamestation shop is that i've become an independant assessor. So i get to be the first to play the new games and write reviews for them. I only had time to play half an hour yesterday. That gets you partway through the first level. You get twin blasters with an pretty intelligent independant targetting system. So basically if you don't hold down for the cross-hair, Jango will pick the two nearest enemies and dispatch them. You can also single out enemies. You get to use his helmet scanner to find out if someone has a Bounty, as well as your primary target. This secondary bounty system is what unlocks secrets. You get the jet pack part way through the first level, and it's good. You also have the lasso thingy to trap targets with. It's a very good game. Later on i can inform you that you will have a chance to go up against Jedi. I saw a scene of Jango vs a Dark Jedi with Twin Dooku style sabers.... mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Yewh man, individual ship stats. Kills by type. Battles won/lost etc etc

Miggell returned to his cabin. He started plotting attack vectors and entrance and evac co-ordinates. With a start Miggell woke up. He'd fallen asleep in front of his computer systems. A small light was flashing indicating an incoming call. Upon re-activating the screen he saw only a small code in the upper left hand caller. It was him again. Miggell started up the encoder and answered the call. "Sir, i'd been hoping to hear from you soon. The project is making good progress. As you said, Fel is being very accomodating. I'm now up to full strength and i'll keep you posted on our next mission details." Unknown: Very well colonel. Once these field tests have gone ahead we will carry on with the, uh, unofficial project. Ackbar sends his regards. Out." Miggell was pleased to have heard from his contact. He knew that he could rely on him. He went to bed rested and calm, ready for the next morning's squadron briefing...

Not going to do you any favours in winning over any planets in that sector is it?!?

I'm thinking it has something to do with keeping the roads clear enough for other cars to drive down. But i could be wrong....

They're both fun to watch. Maybe we should do a tc of ST vs SW, now that would be fun!!!

Ive only ever woken up next to beautiful women!!!

OOOOOooooooooooooohhhh yes please. I just played Bounty Hunter. Damn it's good, it's very very good.

Indeed, she does fit the bill. Well, let's let the card guys decide!

No, i'd like it to be able to move. I just want a large fleet that can't be split up, but i don't think that can be done. It's not in the game.
