First of all: I think Jar Jar was kinda funny but a bit annoying, not enough to get me to flame those who like him however. Oh the venator... what to say.... every so many days we see a 'venator officially in' or 'why did they take it out'. Their going to keep the choice until the last minute because quite frankly, well...I'll make a list.. Reasons to Keep it: Fan Pressure Why remove something you already made? Why remove something thats going to be added in anyway? One more reason to love it. As for balancing issues: You can have the Venator as a uprade for another ISD(but still have the other availiable to be built, like the Z-95 and X-wing, the X-wing was based on it but you [should] be able to build both). Mods will add equvilants for the rebels. (more might be added) Reasons to Remove it: Lucas Arts wants it gone(blame them, not Lucas the person or Petroglyph). The fans won't care since it'll be modded back in(might be a viewpoint of thiers). Too many ISD's. Balancing Issues. Cheap tactic for the imps(ties, troops, etc.) The average or those who just buy it for the game, not star wars, fans won't care. Likewise, some won't care about star wars 'accuracy'. Lucasarts just wants the money. (more might be added) Reasons to Ignore the Debate: Moders, Moders and more Moders. Are we making the game? No. Does Lucas Arts care as long as they get money? No. Reasons to Ignore all Announcements: Not true. Rumors. Verifyed? Who are their connections. Conflicting news. NOTE: This list is written by someone who leans toward keeping the Venator. Writers Note: The list supporting and trying to remove the venator are about the same length, so you can't say the list is one-sided. Total amount of admendments to the list: 13
