long live the venator

Very nice, is it possible to create new LAND maps?

Bryant you should look at the empire mod for the codes for retreat in space, its somthing that we need VERY baddly. more then venator buffing ;D :

i wish you could keep your fighters in your hanger untill you pushed a special abilities button or somthing for them to deploy :'(

I also do that ;D i mass produce around 10 venators, and about 9 A-wing squads and 4 y-wing squads, and conquore the entire galaxy ;D i usually only win because i have more quantity over quality. But I prefer Quality over quantity. Venator in my opinion should have, 6 Turbo Lasers. 2 Ion cannons, and 1 proton torp launcher. but they should cost around 3k to produce ALSO they should have reduced shield strength, to counter the massive ammount of fire power they would have. just to be fair to all you anti-venator people

Same with when the ion cannon hits you, your ship can move SLOWLY but surely. (while its innards are slowly ripped apart from the constant Y-wing barrage....) :'( :'( )

This is a very intense discussion ;D

I think the venator should be a gunship/carrier, I mean, lets take a look at Ep 3, all, and i mean ALL of the ships were Venators, and they were vs enemy gunships. and the venators were winning. They were doing some serious damage to the enemy. But in this game, they can hardly stand up to anything. Yes they are outdated, but come on. at least give them a proton torp launcher or somthing. Maby a few more turbo lasers? even though its not in the game, just an idea. ;D

Does anyone think its possible in EAW to have your squadrons stay INSIDE The ship untill called for, by using a special ability? that way if your coming in range of an enemy, they may think your fighters are off looking for them, so they would be provoked to put themselves in a very bad position. (destroyers all deploy bombers at point blank so that they can get their torps off before being disintigrated by blockade runners (i hate those) ) I think if this feature was or IS in the game it would increase the strategic possibilities, and keep the rebels on their toes. (not that they arnt allready on their toes, but lets put them on the tips of their toes ;D )

I had to register after reading this thread. Xenomorphine your post is VERY well thought out and i agree with you rather then with the people that are attempting to prove you wrong. 1. first of all, the rebels have probably had the base on Hoth for at least a year. Hoth has ice storms every day. So if their first priority would be to set the defenses for the base (ion cannon, shield generator ect.) then it would be build quickly. the snow would have covered the cannon at least patartially to a point where it would be easily mistaken for part of the environment. Also, Hoth's weather can easily block satellite images. Even in the demo in Hoth's planet information it says that the ice storms block people from knowing theres a ground base on it. they only found out hoth was the rebels secret planet because the probe happened to catch a clip of the generator. if they would have taken their "satellites" and done a scan of the planet the ice storms would have made the rebel base invisible to be put in basic terms. Or if i was to humor you raydude, the weather just happened to be particuarly good the day the probe arrived (and when they found han and luke). Why would the empire just deploy satellites? lol. i mean really, just deploy satellites that would take at least 15 minutes to get deployed in space, and ready to be used. another 5-10 minutes for them to scan the entire planet, and by then the rebels would be alerted, and allready ready to escape from Hoth. In ESB (empire strikes back) the admiral had came out of hyperspace too close to the planet. So the rebels were alerted of their presence. Vader killed the admiral for jumping too close, he wanted to jump a safe way's away from the planet and have a suprise attack. If he would have had his way im confident that he would have been able to swiftly create a suprise attack that would easily catch the rebels off gaurd, and defeat them without any of them escaping. In the demo, the ion cannon is a pain in the rear end, and accurate to the movie, they disable the ship. My disabled ship has an extremely low rate of fire (maby just my imagination but im allmost certain the rate of fire is decreased significantly.) and is basically a floating heap of junk. The ion cannons rate of fire is also extremely fast. So the rebels could exit the planet at any angle at any time because of it. 2. I actually think the AT-AT was suppose to clear an area around the landing pad so they could have more space to create an effective base to defend the shield generator on endor. 3. What, were the imperials supose to tell their squads "look for wookies swinging on the vines! i agree that AT-ST operator was stupid to tell his co-pilot to open the hatch and get him off there, i personally would have just taken out my pistol and shot the little teddybear in the face, but enough about what i would personally do ;D It may just be possible that the AT-ST's were owning so much that victory seemed certain, so they decided to start a mopping up operation and kill the remaining ewoks. Only after the AT-ST was taken over did they relize that the rebels might have a chance to turn the tides, and by then it was too late to do anything. Along with the foot soldiers, victory assumed, therefore they decide to comb the area for ewoks. 3. Space battle above endor. I personally would agree that whoever the admiral was should have commenced the attack. After they destroyed the Executor i assume that the other star destroyers were allready commencing with the assault apon the rebel cruisers. I mean come on, if you were a captain of a ship and your main flagship was just destroyed, i'd be a little pissed, and yeah emperor is sayin he has somthing special planned, but if allied ships are being attacked, id commence the attack. Stupidity of the emperor allowed the rebels to snach away victory from the jaws of defeat. But, even with the deathstar destroyed the imperials could have EASILY have destroyed the small rebel fleet containing MAINLY nebulon-B frigates, im sure at least one or two were medical frigates, it even says in the movie one of the leaders of one of the fighter squadrons says "there heading for the medical frigate" (i think thats what he said, along that lines.) those frigates would have less firepower then their gunship bretheren. And from what i could see there were only 2 mon calimari cruisers with them. That is a Pathetic fleet. The blockade runners arnt and CANT take on imperial star destroyers, nor were they ment to. so lets wrap this area of my post up. Lets be generous and say 7 nebulon-B Frigates 2 were medical, so thats 5 combat equipped frigates. 2 mon calimari cruisers. A good match 1 on 1 for a star destroyer, but not an entire fleet + Super Star destroyers. and maby... 5 blockade runners. thats a fleet of 14 total ships. Their fighter support was basically destroyed in the skirmishing that happened prior to the fleets engagement. After the shield was Deactiveated, all remaining fighters went for the death star while the rebel fleet was left to take care of the imperial fleet. There were maby.... 20 total ships in the beginning for the imperials when they took on the rebel fighters, but there were around 20 imperial star destroyers, which carried around 10 squadrons... EACH! so thats 200 squads of fighters so here are the odd's 196 fighter squadrons+bombers vs 9 rebel frigates without fighter support. Now how could the rebels POSSIBLY defeat such odds? even a monkey could'nt screw that battle up. It wasnt the empires fault the battle was portrayed as a loss for the empire, it was lucas's fairy tale that the rebels somehow won. Military tactics were NOT a factor in this battle, other then the fact that they lost the 2nd deathstar because of the stupidity of the emperor and his attempt to turn luke to the darkside, they had won the battle EASILY, then they could deploy their ground forces to destroy the rest of the rebellion, and poof. Peace in the galaxy, clone the emperor wew alls back to normal. 3. This is more of a question then a reply, but to my knowledge i had heard that the imperials were mainly humans that were trained because of the fact that clones only lasted so long, so they disbanded the clone armies after the clone wars, and recruited human recruits for their armies. Apart from the 501st the rest were regular human beings. In conclusion, Raydude i find your reply to Xenomorphine VERY wrong, but feel free to correct me. Btw, if i havent mentioned this before (been a long post so i forget and dont feel like scrolling up again I had alot on my mind when i was reading this post, and just HAD to register for this particular post. anyways im done talking. Start debating again ;D
