Okay, killed the other thread. Where were we?

Not a bad thought, but I'd say let the player decide. Give him the option if he wants to play on a 'SW Galaxy' where planet locations and starting characters are fixed, or a random galaxy where anything could happen. Also I said that characters should have a fixed time FROM when they are available, I said nothing about a specific place or an exact time when they appear. To add some randomness some characters should be available for both sides and simply 'decide' to join you based on your Gameplay (or, which is easier to make, random variables). Recruiting missions could be made less important or completely replaced by this. I'm doing it again; Mind if we all change to the Rebellion 2 Forum for this?

I just decided a few minutes ago I want to make models; not only, but also for Rebellion. All I need is everything it takes to start. I built a very simple Star Destroyer in 3DSMax a year ago, but I couldn't put any textures on it, so i gave up. I don't have 3Ds anymore, so first of all: Which program can I use? Are there any free ones?

Why not start at the very beginning of the Rebellion or before Yavin when Mothma took the leadership and make characters available at different times during the game (Luke and Han: available from 1 before Yavin, wedge a little before, Corran some years later, Mara even later, etc.) and make the appearance of Luke, Han, Leia and Chewie before Yavin a scripted event?

I meant Borsk Fey'lya, not Bossk. He's not in the collection of original Rebellion cards. And I don't like to do political (except Austrian politicians, but you wouldn't know them)

Here's how I create cards: 1) Have a pic ready. Not a big problem, most of the time 2) Save the character's extra pic and the three ingame-pics as bmp (or just create a bmp with the right dimensions) and paint them all with the background blue. 3) Paste your pic, scale accordingly 4) cut away the background with blue 5) Save them all, load them into RebEd, and autogenerate the Encyclopedia pic It's that easy. BTW, I've finished and submitted Wile E. Coyote and Cmdr. Taggert. Forgot to mention I'm also planning to to Space Ghost Edit: Another idea: Captain Proton and Chaotica, the best ST: Voyager had to offer Edit2: How do I change the name of the characters displayed when given a rank? Probably in a .dll somewhere, but where?

And Gandalf as Jedi master? Heh, by the way, I'm still looking for the Encyclopedia text for Borsk, or should I just make up something?

Okay, but let's not turn this into a "Rebellion 2 Ideas" topic. We have a "Rebellion 2 Ideas" forum. This is about actually creating the game and collecting people who are willing to contribute their talents to the project. I told you what I can do... in a few months I might be able to give you models, if I find a program I can work with... Still, no programmers here.

Agreed.

I got a little bored with the usual SW-related actually useful Red-cards and decided to make a few utterly useless but fun ones. I already have a few I'm sure to make: Spaceman Spiff from Calvin&Hobbes Duck Dodgers, Marvin Martian and Wile E. Coyote from the Looney Tunes cartoons Captain Peter Quincy Taggert and Sariss from Galaxy Quest and maybe Droopy McCool and Max Rebo Any more ideas?

My thoughts exactly.

The smile of your avatar has answered my question...

I do actually think 2 playable sides are enough. Of course, playing the Chiss, Hapans, Ssi-Ruuk or Vong would be fun, but having them as non-playable would be sufficient; the more playable races, the more complicated it gets. The problem with Reb now is that Imps and Rebs are too balanced. we need to have different gameplay for either side, and a good AI that behaves as the actual faction would. Remember, more is not necessarily better. Better have less features but make them really good.

NEVER! ... Oh, whatever. I'd say they found Ackbar in a bathtub; he only agreed to join because they promised him one of those fancy chairs on Home One... All the others: Pub. -'Hey, we've started a rebellion, you want to join?' -'What, against the Empire? Isn't that dangerous?' -'Yeah, we'll all probably be slaughtered or captured and tortured or have our home planets blown up.' -'Sounds fun, I'm in.'

Hmmm... Who's the other one who voted for the third option...?

Most important thing is: Who here knows anything about programming, or knows anyone who knows anything about it and who is willing to help or knows someone who knows someone... you get the idea. I can contribute some graphics (special effects and character pics my specialty!) and some writing, but that's it.

I'd really like to kill the DS through sabotage; that's the only cutscene I haven't seen so far. Heck, I'd even let the Rebels blow up my Death Star to see that cinematic, but they just don't attempt to do it (maybe that's because by the time I build the DS all the minor characters are DEAD and the others captured...)

Danny Elfman - This is Halloween

That would be your towel. Hey, I'm not in this battle plan! Okay, I'll just get myself a nice rotating chair and yell "It's a trap!" as soon as anything happens

Yes, how?

B-Wing is a pure capship killer. Sure, a flight of them fires all they got in a cloud of TIEs and many of them will die, but that Bomber just lacks the maneuverability for a dogfight.

Right. Now I can return to my normal, pessimistic and sarcastic self.

Hmm, what does this remind me of... ah, yes. "Never tell me the odds!" That should be our motto.

I heard about this breathing thing, makes oxygen reach your brain, can have the weirdest effects.
