Quickshot14

an exceprt from the above mentioned q&a: This pretty much confirms that the game will be moddable witch i figured as much as with any good rts anymore it's pretty much a requirement to make it moddable. The extent of how moddable well that we may not find out untill closer to release or untill it is released. Needless to say if I wasn't excited enough about the game before to know for sure it will be moddable has pretty much sealed it for me, is it spring 2006 yet?

Ok all bellow is my rebel story thus far, this is roughly bewteen turns 950-1400 keep in mind th way i'm doing this story does not tell you the turns and i've tired to all tell most important events. I don't quite have all the story up yet so please check back as I should be adding/finshing it soon. So without further ado hes the rebel story thus far (please escuse all spelling and grammer errors): As I rushed back into the galatic tatical room I could hear the alarms, a system was under imperial attack, and I had a raw feeling in my stumach where the attack was. "Oh sir, this is terrible terrible!" Threepio started working toward me from his postion near R2. "Clam down threepio, and show me witch system is under attack." I order as I finnaly reached my control console. Threepio nodded and turned back to his console as well. As he worked at the panel the three-demension galatic display zoomed into the Corellian Sector and further in to the Vagran system shwoing the planet being bombarded by the imperial fleet in orbit. I whispered a soft curse my fear confirmed. "R2 calculates that the chances of the imperial fleet invading the planet to be five to one sir!" Threpio says translating his counterpart, then just like on cue the planet goes from red to green as the imperials launch there invasion. "Oh dear! We've lost contact with the planet sir!" Threepio states as all communication and tatical infromation from the planet goes out. This time I curse loudly catching others around me off-guard and getting a few worried stares. "Commander-"I call for my assistant, he rushs upto to me and does a quick salute. "Witch fleet is stationed in the corellian sector?" I ask, the commander looks over his datapad and then back at me. "The third fleet sir, Admrial Drayson commanding. There stationed at the drall system sir." The commander responds I nod as threepio turns toward me. "Oh dear sir, The Drall system is the only one left under our control in the sector! And the garrsion there is the only thing keeping them from revolt!" I shake my head at the situation as it gets from bad to worse. "What about there shipyards how many do they have?" I ask, the commander looks at his datapad then back at me with a sour face. "Only two sir, Vagran was in the middle of constructing a third, but.." He stops trailing off not wanting to point out the obvious. I sigh a bit and nod, "Threepio, get me Admiral Drayson on comm's immdeatly." I order, threepio nods and works at his console. As he does I get the final report of loses at vagran, a total lose. Finnaly Admiral Draysons image shows up on a screen near my console as the galatic display focus on Drall and his fleet. "Sir." Drayson states saluting, I return it. "Admiral as you no doubt heard Vagran has fallen to the empire." Drayson nods. "Yes we did, only a few refuges made it out of there sir. What are your orders sir." I grimcie. "I'll be blunt with you Admiral, Drall is the only system left that we control in all of the correlian sector. You only have two shipyards and were short on matince as it is. Plus I understand that Drall is on the verge of revolt." Drayson nods, "Yes sir, our fleet and the garrsion on the planet are keeping them in line for now, if you could get me a diplomat here?" I shake my head. "I'm afraid all our diplomats are elsewhere Admiral. The point is your fleet just isn't strong enough to take on the Imperial forces in the sector, and frankly getting any major ships to you is going to take time." Drayson nods, "We are building a MC40 now sir with what last matinance we have left. Also the Modifed Frigate from Averam is on it's way here as well. I think we can make a stand here sir." I nod and give a small smile. "Good, make what preprations you can Admiral I will try to buy you time and try to get us more matince to work with." The Admiral nods and then salutes. "Yes sir." he says as the communcation ends. I turn to my aide, "Commander, start looking for idle fleets who are posied to strike the nearest lightly defended imperial system." The commander nods and goes to his station to begin his work, I turn back to threepio. "Threepio, I want any avalible constuction yards to focus there work on building mines and refinerys where ever possible." Threepio gives a quick yes sir back and begins his work as well. I sit back in my seat and look over the galatic display and sigh. "If we can keep the imperials busy, maybe we can take there focus off Drall. At least thats the plan." I think. Finnaly after some time my aide comes back, hes salutes I return it. "Well commander what have you found?" I ask, he nods and works on his datapad and then turns to look at the three-demnsional tatical display, I do so as well as it zooms from an overall view of the galaxy into the Farfin Sector and then into the imperial control system of Wristil. "Acording to our last intellegence sir, the Wristil system has a great deal of refrinerys and mines, and is very lightly defended." I nod, "Thats good commander, whats the nearest fleet to it's postion?" I ask the commander works at his datapad again and the display sways over to the rebel control Bilbringi system showing a fleet in it's orbit. "The second fleet, under the command of Admiral Afyron sir." The commander responds. "Excellent work commander, threepio open up communcations with Admiral Afyron immdeatly." I order. After a few moments Admiral Afyron appears on a small display. He salutes, "Sir, what are your orders?" I return the salute and nod. "Admiral I want your fleet to set course for the Wristil system, your order are to take the system with as little damage to the surface as possible. We want to take her structures in-tact." Afyron nods, "Shouldnt be a problem sir we've been itching to take it to the imperials. We won't let you down." he states saluting, I return the salute and nod. "I know you won't Admiral. May the force be with you." I finish as the communcation goes off and the fleet around Bilbringi begins to move and then is gone as it enters hyperspace. The display re-focuses back on Wristil as we wait for the 2nd fleet to arrive. "Are we sure there defences are light commander?" I ask, the commander looks at me and gives a lopside looking. "Not entierly sir, our intelgence has been rather, well lacking as of late." I give a sour experession. "Yes I know, the imperials have been doing a good job of disrupting any espionge missions we take." The commander just nods at my response. Suddenly the 2nd Fleet hyperspaces in and Wirstil comes into full view. "Oh dear!" Threepio states, "Imperial Fighters defending the planet sir!" I look over as the fighters come into view. "Dosn't look like they will be too much of a problem, Threepio order the Admiral to take them out." I state, threepio nods and gives the command. I watch on the display as the imperial fighters meet our fighters in a large dogfight. Our captail ships also closing in to give support. Our four ywing squadrons are first to go, quickly followed by the two imperial tie squads, and then finnaly the last six tie interceptor squadrons. "Admiral Afyron reporting in sir." Threepio starts. "They are nod blockading the planet, no damage to any captial ships. There also appears to be no major plantary defenseses sir." I nod. "Excellent threepio, order the admiral to begin his assault." I order, threepio nods, and moments latter the planet goes from red to green. I smile as a roar of cheering overtakes the room. As I look at our matince total begin to signfigantly rise. "Report threepio" I order over the still soft cheering in the room. "Planet taken sir, Admiral Afyron reports only small loses. He reports we have taken a large amount of refinerys and mines, and also...four shipyards sir!" Threepio reports I nod. "Excelent, tell the admiral to hold his postion, its going to take us some time to find a diplomat for the system." I turn back to my adie as the display returns to overall view. "Nice work commander." I say with a smile, he smiles back at me. "Thank you sir." he says saluting I return then he heads back to his station.

Glad it sounds of intrest, i'm defintly having fun with it *heh* yea, I think I saw your cards when I was looking through the database. I just had to make a card for me, sides i look good in an imperial uniform *hehe*

I guess we could dub you Quickshot leFonque... *hehehehe*

Well I've made changes to the most obvious arears, Starships, Troops, Defenses, Major and Minor Charcherts, and Special Forces. I've only made minor changes to the refinery and mine production (it's at 3 now). I've only made minor changes/addiations to Defenses and Special Forces. I've also made some major changes to the Fighters as well. I havn't changed what fighters there are, but I made them more 'close' to what I like/feel is close to my warm experinces in XWA and such. So For Example all Imperial Fighters Squads have 18 in a squad, where rebels only have 12 in a squad. Because of this i've tweked ther cost and matince a bit too. Of course my biggest modifcations has been in starships, troops and major/minor charcherts. I havn't changed any major charchers just tweaked it a bit, like letting the emperor be able to train jedi and such. Bu I have added some new minor charheters like myself *grins* and also Charcherts I've come up with like, Admrial Span, Delta and Dove. But also other charchets we know and love, Like Kyle Katana, Mara, Zarrian and so on. As for ships I've made serioes changes/modfications, not only by adding the wonderfull models that were avalible her but also in stats. For example the Dreadnaught, is now shared by rebel and imperial heres an exmaple of it's stats: Basicly I've tried to make them a little more 'realistic' to what i've know/expect while also trying to have a balance/counter balance to it as well. So like for example when you start a new game the ships that can are already know/can be made on the imperial side are as follows: Heavy Landing Craft (HLC), Carrack Light Crusier (CLC), Victory-Class Star Destoryer (VSD), Imperial Class Star Destoryer (ISD), Dreadnaught (DREAD), Correlian Corvette (CRV) For the Rebels: Dreadnaught (DREAD), Maruader Corrvette (MARU), Meduim Transport, Correlian Corvette (CRV) If your wondering where the Nebulon B-Frigate is , it's one of the first starships you research, oh did i mention it's shared as well like the dreadnaught and corevette. Basicly the ships that can be built by the Empire or Rebels are the Dreadnaught, Nebulon B-Firgate, Correlian Corvette, Correlian Gunship, Modifed Frigate, and the Assualt Transport. Some of the other new ships i've included/added are for the empire, the forementioned Modfied Frigate, Heavy Landing Craft, Dominator Interdector, and Overlord Super Star Destoryer. For the Rebels I've added the MC40 Light Calamari Crusier, the MC90 Mon Calamarai Crusier, the Modfied Strike Crusier, and the Viscount Star-Cruiser. Also as an example of some of the little diffrence between imperial and rebel class starships, esppiscaly the mon-cal star ships. Mon cal starships have better/greater sheilds/sheild regen then imperial ships. But Imperial ships have a much better Weapon Recharge and of course bombardment then rebel ships and so on. Some of the little modfications between the two, for comparssion heres the card description for the MC40 and the VSD. Well this is pretty long, and so i'll stop here, but theres some examples/ideas of the changes i've made

Curently i'm listing to Savage Garden - Gunning Down a Rommance. You can ussaly see what i'm listing to in my signature where it says quicks mix. You can even listen in if you like I stream nearly all the time. I stop streaming when I need the extra memory and such for some games. I listen to all kinds of diffrent music really, why I call it an insane mix *heh*

First hello all, i'd like to take a few whacks about this. First of all my postion on EaW. First of all I don't see EaW as the 'sequal to rebllion' if anything i'd consider it a remake/redoing/major remodeling of Force Commander (and maybe rebllion as well kind of killing two birds with one stone kind of thing.) this probley isn't the acutall case but just a way I can look at it i think. Secondly I have fairly decent hope for the game and heres the reasons why. 1st thou it's early in the shots and what we have heard it not only looks good but looks like fun, i mention this because in force commander you only had the 'looks good' feeling to it now that i recall about it. 2nd this is being done by some of the same people who did work on command and conquer genreals. At least in that aspect I know it will be better then Force Commander (ok it dosn't take much to to do that) and Gallatic Battlegrounds. And thirdly because this will be moddable at least in some small aspect (scenerio editor at least) now why I say this again back to reason 2 to anwser that question. So basicly said i'm enthusie about it, and i defintly want to know more and i'll probley at least try it out before i pass judgement. Now to some things said. Thats some great questions there thrawn and I agree, hopefully most if not maybe all these questions will be anwsered at E3 or after E3. Ya know i love ya already from that post jediIgor (not just from your sig saying you own this site, love it by the way thnx for giving a place for rebellion mods and such) cause i can tell you are truely what some would call a ' HARDCORE, HARDCORE GAMER' by that I mean very critical of games that you play/looking for. I know cause my brothers like that but mainly only about MMO's *rolls eyes* thats another story. I can post a big disscusion between you an me but I know how it will play out, if you want to label me i'm a 'CASUAL HARDCORE GAMER' I guess meaning i'm really really enjoy games/gameing but i'm not as critcal about them or what types of games I play. *shurgs* not sure how else to explain it. But to my point even thou your question was directed at thrawn, i'll anwser it for you. Yes I played Half-Life 2, Far Cry and Doom 3 BEFORE I played republic commando and I still enjoyed it for what it was. I was very dispointed about the multiplayer thou, they could of done SO MUCH MORE with it. But the singleplayer experinced I enjoyed, and the story, short yes but thats becomeing somewhat of a trend. Granted the three forementiond games are the exception to that. (oh and I am taling about the PC version I don't play FPS on console, firstly cause I don't have a console that can *heh* and because I just have to have my mouse and keyboard. ) I could go into further but like i said before I don't want to start a big ol disscusion about it here, since i'm sure you've heard it before and my re-interating it isn't going to change your, or my mind for that matter. Thats why we have opinons and why fourms are fun after all Regardless I look forward to it, and like any star wars fan i'll probley at least try it out. I'm a hopeless star wars fan, mainly about the ships thou *heh* *sighs* wish they make another flight sim game for SW. Like the good old Xwing, Tie Figther and XWA, XWA and Tie Fighter are my favrotie thou. Anywayz off topic Just thought i'd post my 2 cents, what this is for as i said before

Greets to all you rebellion fans out there, and my thank you to the site webmasters for this site. Couldn't keep rebellion alive without it First a little background info about my rebellion experinces, I have played rebellion since it's release and I was like most of you a lil disspointed with some aspects of it but I still love the game, as I have a fondness for games like SWR (like the orignal moo and so on) When I first stumbled into SWR.com about oh a few years ago and found rebed and starting moding the game, witch i have obession to do with games. It was fun but I didn't think much of it. Lately, probley mainly due to the intment release of episode III i'm on a star wars frezy again and just had to play rebellion again. But this time I took a more serious approch to my modding of rebellion. I've really modding this thing, thankfully to all thoese before me using ships I liked and so on as i'm sure you can all relate. Now I have it setup and i've been playing rebel and imperial on large galaxy standard wining conditions hard to work on 'balancing' my work. Keep in mind i have not made any 'modfications' to tha ai settings in rebedit or through save games. Thou I've found the only/best way to play this is on hard. I've ran into a few snags that I will have to live with, namely the imperial faction sometimes starting with at least 1 dominator interdector (pain on early rebels let me tell you) but overall i've been having a REALLY enjoyable experince playing this. It's been challanging but not overleay impposible. Lately i've started playing mostly rebel (trying to catch up to the almost 1500 turns on imperial) and i've been making notes of important things so I can work on an acutal story for the site, something I may do for the imperial side as well. As for my mod, I dont know if i'll release it or not, depends on ethier I decide too or if theres intrest in it. If you'd like to know more details about what i've done i'd be glad to share, don't want to bore anyone with things they don't want to know. But anywayz, I'd thought i'd introduce my self and give a formal hello to the community as I try to do with any community I enter for whatever reason, i've learned it's best to do that I look forward to writing my stories for you all to read hopefully soon untill then see you around, now if you'll escuse me I need to repair my tie defender, darn rebel platform mistook me for an imperial
