AT-AP

This is a small trivia question for the devs: Since you named the Mon Cal frigate MC30c, does there mean there's an MC30, MC30a and MC30b model in SW lore? Hope this isn't the wrong forum to ask in.

If the Venator truly isn't in, then it makes no sense to finally release several promotional screenshots with that ship in them. Doesn't this constitute false advertising?

Then why do we have corvettes, why frigates? A fleet is not all about raw power, there are many layers to it and many ship-types to fulfill different job. The Venator with its massive hangar-deck would be a heavily armed carrier-vessel, for instance. And the seperation of time between the Venator and the Imperial is 1 to 1,5 years. Not that much.

It is a general warship. Keep in mind it is considered old tech, so SD's are far more powerful. That's Delphi's answer, in the same thread where he confirmed the Venator the first time.

Yes, the Acclamator II has been known about since April. (First mention in a card game). Even so, the Acclamator I is heavily armed for a transport and several of them can perform a BDZ, I think. The Acclamator II would probably be called a SD in the Imperial Starfleet, as smaller ships have been called the same. (The Demolisher in the Droids cartoon, for instance.)

Already happened. The Rebels use not only old units left over from the Republic/early Empire, but also some Imperial units: Dreadnaught-class frigates, Nebulon-B frigates, CR90 corvettes, AT-PTs, Juggernauts. Anything they can find that's not as well guarded. After Endor, they even caught Imperial-class destroyers. The Venator is, but the Acclamator isn't. In the ROTS: Incredible Cross-sections the Venator's article said that its production was slowing down in favor of the Imperator (later renamed Imperial) and Tector classes. The first Imperator was commisioned only days after the Clone Wars ended and the second participated in the Subjugation of Kashyyyk only six weeks after war's end. (Ironically, when Delphi talks about "outdated tech", he's referring to a model only one or two years older than the Imperial-class, although development through a war can rapidly outdate early models, even though the time-scale isn't big.)

I'd guess the Rebel headquarters would be Dac (Mon Calamari). It was the "heart of the Rebellion" after all and had a constant fleet-presence to deter the Empire from attacking.

Probably means it's Imperial-only in singleplayer.

They're actually writing an extra article on N-K Necrosis (the Grievous-lookalike), so we're yet to see what it truly is.

Well, the 'rare' thing is just something I put in their profiles on SW Wiki, since in the game you need some experience to finally gain them, and that makes them pretty much rare compared to most other fighters. Of course, they could be elite craft and still be common in certain parts of the galaxy...

Actually, individual facts from the game have been noted and included by LFL continuity checker Leland Chee, so parts of it are canon. Though this does not automatically make it a good game. =P It's not that strange to see remnants of CW-era technology being used somewhere in the GCW-era, as most war vehicles are from that era anyway (AT-ATs, AT-STs, AT-PTs, AT-APs, Juggernauts, 74-Z speederbikes, ISPs, Acclamators, Victorys etc.). Even the first Imperator destroyers were being tested towards the end of the Wars, so having some fighters around from that time as rare elite craft is not that unbelivable.

That they were, but in a recent re-release one of the new covers had an Acclamator on it. No, both main variants were used by the Empire, the dedicated warship seen in EAW (the Acclamator Mk. II) and the Acclamator Mk. I transport (seen in SW Empire issues 30-34 and 36). In DE I issue 1, there's a Venator-ish ship in orbit around Byss. It has an elongated rear going far behind the command tower, but otherwise resembles a Venator. Funny coincidence.

I think they've been spurred on by fans wanting more whenever they hear a unit will not be there. =P And, then there's Delphi's "Mustafar will find its place, in due time..." quote.

The Acclamator is a heavily armed troop transport, while the Acclamator II is like a heavy frigate. Both of these designs are used by the Empire due to not having any serious competitors filling in their niché, which might not be the case for the Venator. However, since its fighter-carrying capabilities exceed those of the Imperator and Victory, there could be a place for it as a heavily armed carrier. *Looks at previous posts* Whoops, there's that balancing issue... Still, having a dedicated carrier that can launch more fighters at a time, while more vulnerable than the Imperator would be fun. And probably balanced as well.

Since Delphi mentioned that Mustafar will serve its purpose in due time, and yet didn't confirm a CW-era expansion, I think the Venator and the CW worlds will show up in a post-ANH expansion pack.
