Is star wars ever gonna end? (referring to the expanded universe)
Star Wars Godzilla Ruler replied to EJMM's topic in The Bar
The way I see it is that Star Wars, for all we know, is actually going to hapen due to the fact that we are on the verge of colonization of Mars and such. Maybe we are what Star Wars will become. Here's an incredibly ridiculous idea. What if George Lucas fell into a wormhole somewhere on Earth and was transported to an alternative universe were everything Star Wars is true, has happened, and he studied it for years while it was only seconds on Earth, and he came back and profited off of it? That may seem just plain ludicrous, but how else do you explain him knowing everything there is to the Star Wars universe? -
Nicknames for the Vehicles
Star Wars Godzilla Ruler replied to Cobra848's topic in EAW General Discussion
I usually call the IPV-1 pirate patrol crafts "eggs". I aslo think that Interceptor V Frigates look like a row of brownies, the MKII Assault Frigates look like cucumbers, the T4-B tank looks a little like the "Pumpkin of Death" and the T2-B tank looks like an RC boat or a short, fat carrot. -
Sorry I've been gone so long, I had some matters to attend to all summer long. Anyways, I was also thinking that every single space unit should have the number of hardpoints it does in real Star Wars. also, I think that every single space unit and land unit should be to scale size. Finally, I was thinking that the maps in space could be so huge that it would take almost 2 full minutes to scroll across it at the fastest settings.

Thanks HK-47. Also, I edited some units with Notepad/Wordpad, and the game still worked. It's that the changes I made didn't do anything. Help? -

Thank you. By the way, I made a mistake on that last post. Instead of a DATEditor, I meant a string editor. Still, anything I could edit with Notepad/Wordpad and a Sting Editor? -

It's Ok, I appreciate the advice. To you, it may sound unhelpful, but to me it is just one of the many pointers I need. Thank you all. Also, I have a quick question. Does anyone know if they could make the tripods from the new War of the World's movie for the Zann Consortium? That would be cool. -

Here's a few more Rebel units I think should be in the game. A variant of the AAC-1 hovertank, the AAC-2 hovertank, or Anti-Aircraft Combat Tank-2, had stronger hull plating than its cousin and had stronger weapons. Rebel officers made good use of it during the Skirmishes of Yavin 4. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/c/cd/AAC-1_hovertank.JPG The Slayn & Korpil AHS-1 heavy assault airspeeder was developed shortly after the Battle of Hoth for the Rebel Alliance when they realized that they had little in the way to combat the Empire's AT-AT walkers. During field trials, the craft gained the nickname "Walker Buster" due to its intended use. The prototype for this craft was created from a damaged B-wing starfighter, and subsequent models followed the same general design. The AHS-1 had two of the B-wing's airfoils joined onto the B-wing's command pod. Repulsorlift engines with additional ion afterburners were mounted on the underneath of the command, at the rear. An additional stabilizer airfoil was mounted above and aft of the command pod and was connected to the vehicle by two vertical stabilizers which were mounted on the main airfoils. The Walker Buster's armament consisted of two Taim & Bak KL5 laser cannons which were mounted individually on each wingtip (which were the same housings which also held the landing gear), an Arakyd proton torpedo launcher mounted in the rear of the command pod and fired through a tube which ran to the end of the command pod's "chin", and finally a Thunderbolt 595 quad blaster cannon which was mounted on the nose and provided low-level firepower for the speeders less durable targets. However, the Walker Buster's primary weapon were its four GX-15 "Starbolt" concussion missiles, a new form of advanced weapon produced specifically for the AHS-1. Although its armament made it a formidable enough fighting machine, the Walker Buster had a serious drawback; its size and weight. In fact, it was so heavy that it relied as much on its airfoils as it did its repulsorlifts for lift and stability, and even required a brief takeoff run to generate enough lift to gain altitude. Additionally, it had rather poor maneuverability. Though its ion afterburners gave it enough speed to far outperform the AT-AT and AT-ST walkers it was designed to take down, this lack of maneuverability made it particularly vulnerable to TIE fighter attack or concentrated laser fire. Despite these flaws, the Walker Buster was expected to play a large part in the war against the Empire and was thought to be deployed soon after its test flights. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/0/0e/Walker_Buster_Airspeeder.JPG The Endor Forest Ranger was a repulsorlift vehicle used by the Rebel Alliance. It featured a closed gyroscopic cockpit and was driven by one driver. It had two large blaster cannons sideways and two smaller in front. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/8/88/Endorforestranger.jpg The Loratus Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher was a vehicle used by the Rebel Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was manufactured by Loratus and was a mobile parabolic projectile platform that was made for taking out enemy units at far range with the help of a spotter. These units were also capable of laying mines to blow up unwary Imperial units. They were the precursor to the MPTL-2A, although both saw use throughout the conflict. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/34/MPTL.jpg The Armored Freerunner was considered one of the most powerful assets of the Rebel CAV arsenal. It got its name from the freely rotating gun platforms mounted on the repulsorcraft. These platforms were designed to accommodate various kinds of weaponry, based on mission requirements. Armed with stripped down anti-personnel and anti-vehicle batteries, each vehicle could be equipped with anything from two to four weapon batteries, based on its battlefield assignment. Each weapon had the option of being operated by individual gunners or linked together to save manpower. The defunct Kelliak Arms and Armor Company advertized the Freerunner as the "ultimate in fast, flexible firepower", which allowed the owner the "freedom to meet any combat situation with the appropriate countermeasure". In the end, the product did not appeal to the Imperial Army, and so the entire advanced stock of Freerunners was sold to arms merchants and undercover Rebel agents. The Freerunner featured a standard open-air cockpit, which allowed for increased visibility for the driver, it also made the driver a prime target and limited the vehicle's use under certain atmospheric conditions. Thus whenever possible, Rebel techs modified the cockpit to be enclosed. Packing an offensive punch, Freerunners were like medium tanks and had reasonable maneuverability and armor. During the Fifth Battle of Yavin IV, they would serve as part of the Rebel ground defense. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/1/10/Rebel_Freerunner.jpg The T3-B heavy attack tank was a heavier complement to the T1-B, being used by the Rebel Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was a treaded tank manufactured by Yutrane-Tackata and was considered too heavy to be used for operations other than surface-to-surface combat. Yutrane-Tackata later designed the T4-B heavy tank, an upgraded form of the older T-3B. The T3-B's ordinance consisted of missiles and heavy blaster-cannons, and was strong enough to take on even the mighty AT-AT walker. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/f/f1/T3-B.jpg The T1-B hovertank was a tank used by the Rebel Alliance during the early stages of the Galactic Civil War. It was manufactured by Yutrane-Tackata and served the purpose of a "swift-moving anti-infantry and anti-aircraft weapons platform". One notable advantage was that the tank was equipped with energy shields in addition to its light armor. These did not last long in combat, but kept it safe for several shots from lightly armed enemy vehicles. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/a/a6/Yutranehover2.jpg The Ultra-Light Assault Vehicle (ULAV) was a tiny landspeeder used early on in the years of the Galactic Empire. The ULAV was armed with one twin forward laser cannon (fire-linked), one forward concussion grenade launcher, and a rear-facing medium blaster cannon. They were eventually phased out due to a perceived "lack of intimidation" in their enemies, and were put into storage, for possible later use. Due to raids on Imperial outposts, the Rebel Alliance soon gained a great number of these tiny speeders. With their great speed and agility, the ULAVs had the advantage of dodging most forms of artillery. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/34/ULAV.jpg It was equipped with an ion engine and a fully pressurized cockpit, allowing it to operate at trans-orbital altitudes. Civilian versions of the skyhopper were armed with pneumatic cannons, though many law-enforcement agencies and planetary militaries throughout the Galaxy utilized modified T-16s due to their overall good performance; however, because it was armed with only a single mounted repeating blaster, it was often overlooked by the military. Even so, these airspeeders were often used as training vehicles by the Rebel Alliance, due to the fact that their flight controls were similar to those of X-wings. A T-16.The skyhopper was a common sight across the Galaxy, with versions of the craft found on nearly every settled world. The T-16 was identified by its tri-wing design and triangular cabin. The three wings, which were reproduced in countless Imperial transports, provided excellent stability. The central airfoil segmented the canopy and blocked much of the pilot's view, but computer displays and a holographic mapping system compensated for this decreased field of view. The speeder had a top speed of approximately 1,200 kilometers per hour. Many young pilots preferred skyhoppers over landspeeders because of the increased maneuverability. Luke Skywalker owned a T-16 on his home planet of Tatooine, where he would use womp rats as target practice and race through Beggar's Canyon with his friend, Biggs Darklighter. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/8/88/T16skyhopper_negvv.jpg Now here's a few Empire vehicles. Manufactured by Arakyd Industries, the XR-85 tank droid was a treaded, automated tank armed with a heavy particle cannon, two forward light turbolasers, four twin heavy repeating blasters (two at the front, two at the back), and one aft Golan Arms DF.9 cannon (for anti-personnel duty). It was part of the Galactic Empire's arsenal. A partially-damaged XR-85 fighting on Coruscant.The first models were small enough to allow multiple units to be carried aboard a Sentinel-class landing craft. They were used to protect bases, attack Rebel uprisings, and keep the peace on Imperial worlds. Later models, produced right after Grand Admiral Thrawn's return and subsequent campaign, were more inexpensive and practical to mass-produce. They utilized a pirated Industrial Automaton R7 droid brain matrix, used in the R7-series astromech droid, which made each droid far more independent and intuitive than earlier generations of combat droids. Cost-cutting by the crumbling Empire made the XR-85s a good alternative to other assault vehicles, as it became more difficult to find or train qualified crew. The production of tank droids was increased in order to bolster ground forces wherever possible. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/5/5f/XR-85TankDroid.jpg The Tracked Shield Disabler (TR-SD) was a huge single-purpose Imperial vehicle, built to weaken and/or disable protective shields around Rebel bases. This would allow other units, more vulnerable to the effects of shields, to pass through, as well as giving various forms of artillery a chance to wreak havoc on the enemy forces/buildings. The TR-SD carried a pair of missile launchers and two ion cannons. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/9/9b/Shield_Disabler.jpg Now for some Zann Consortium vehicles. Some are Mandalorian in design. Mandalorian battle harnesses were a form of vehicle used by the Mandalorians. During the New Sith Wars, these were used alongside Mandalorian soldiers and Lagartoz War Dragons to ambush the Dark Underlord's camp during a campaign against the Sith Lord's forces. Millennia later, Olag Greck forced R2-D2 to go into Hosk Station's droid arena driving a battle harness. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/6/67/80SithWar.jpg Tanks were used by the Death Watch during the Mandalorian Civil War. At least one was destroyed during the Battle of Concord Dawn. It had a pair of medium weapons on a turret, two smaller front-facing weapons and possibly a turreted missile launcher on the back. It was immune to small arms fire, but not from an explosive charge located on its belly. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/4/44/DW_APC.jpg The Basilisk war droid was an intelligent Basiliskan battle droid. When the Mandalorians conquered the Basiliskan homeworld, Basilisk, around 3,997 BBY and subjugated the intelligent Basiliskans into simple-minded Lagartoz War Dragons, they also seized the designs of the droids and continued to manufacture them. The droids gained infamy during the Mandalorian Wars, when Mandalorians using the droids as mounts terrorized a large swath of the Galactic Republic. A Mandalorian-mounted Basilisk war droid at the Battle of Vanquo.The original Basilisk was a large animal-like droid created by the Basiliskans in their own image, though outside commentators would remark that it resembled a combination of a Zalorian rock lion and a Karren beetle. When the Mandalorians began producing them, they included a dorsal control mechanism with which a mounted rider could control the droid in battle. Despite this, the droids retained a large amount of artificial intelligence. It was said that a Mandalorian and its Basilisk shared a common bond, almost like a friendship. If the droid was destroyed in battle, its pilot would give it a warrior's funeral before sending it into a star. Mandalorian tinkering eventually spawned countless customized variants of the droid, some departing dramatically from the original design. Later versions included closed cockpits, larger wings that served as S-foils, and the virtual elimination of animal-like features, giving the droid an appearance closer to that of a starship. A Basilisk war droid displaying its weapons capabilities.The Basilisk war droid could operate in both atmosphere and vacuum, and readily participated in fleet engagements. Space combat would require a Mandalorian rider to wear a pressurized suit into battle. If the tide turned and help was needed planetside, the droid could even plunge down from orbit to participate in ground battles. It was armed with laser cannons, shatter-missile launchers, shockwave generating rods, and heavy brawling claws, though some variations omitted the heavier weaponry in favor of performance. The pilot could even secure his own weapons to the droid, such as blasters or axes. Mandalore Ordo's divergent Basilisk war droid.After the Jedi Civil War, Canderous Ordo's Mandalorians on Dxun created a modified Basilisk capable of holding three people. During the Second Battle of Onderon, such a vehicle was used to bring the Jedi Exile from Dxun to Iziz, the capital of Onderon, much to the fear of the locals (and the armies of both the Royalist-Republicans and the Vakluist Separatists), having seen this droid in action many times during the recent war with Mandalorians. During the Galactic Civil War, the Basilisk, especially later derivations, would influence MandalMotors' StarViper-class attack platform design. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/6/65/Basilisk_war_droid.JPG SWEET!!! http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/9/92/Basilisk.jpg MY PIC....DOUBLE SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!! The Etti-class light transport, better known as the Etti Lighter, was mid-sized freighter produced and used by the Corporate Sector Authority. Though the 125 meter vessel was equipped with a hyperdrive, in its standard configuration it carried only three days of provisions and was therefore limited to short-range (often intra-system) missions. It could carry up to 400 tons of cargo and was well defended with 10 quad laser cannons. In remote, low priority systems of the Corporate Sector, the CSA Security Division used modified Etti Lighters, equipped with upgraded power generators and turbolasers, as anti-smuggling patrol craft. Han Solo and Chewbacca encountered one of these modified Etti Lighters at Duroon. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/f/f4/EttiLighter.jpg The catamaran was named for the oevvaor, a predatory marine reptile that prowled the coasts of Kashyyyk. The hulls of the craft were very tough, as they were handcrafted from wroshyr wood. The craft was also extremely quick and agile. It was powered by a compact twin repulsorlift, that provided lift for atmospheric flight, while also helping to decrease the overall mass of the catamaran, and a pair of podracer-style engines provided the forward thrust. Finally, a pair of rudders located at the end of each hull provided steering in both the air and the water. The catarmaran was not designed for combat in mind, it was originally a sports and fishing craft. It was pressed into military service as a response to Confederacy's invasion of Kashyyyk. As a consequence, it was lightly armored and lacked any weaponry. During the battle the passengers were equipped with their own personal bowcaster or blaster cannon, which could be supported on a small mount that was retrofitted on the craft for the purpose of stabilizing these weapons when firing. Oevvaor catamarans were later employed to repel Imperial invasion forces during the early years of the Empire. Many catamarans had been retrofitted with rocket launchers and repeating blasters following the end of the Separatist invasion. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/6/60/Wookieeflyingcat.jpg The Kas air cruiser was a model of repulsorcraft employed by the Wookiees. Although the vehicle moved and fired slowly, its firepower was immense. One shot could decimate a large area of enemy forces. With its longer than average range, it was able to bombard turrets without being fired upon in return. In well protected groups, several of these impressive ships could lay waste to whole enemy bases. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/37/WookieMobileCannon.jpg The fluttercraft was named after the predatory insects known as gnasps, which were native to the Wookiee colony moon of Alaris Prime. It was a compact twin-seated scout craft used to patrol the dangerous lower levels of the jungles of Kashyyyk and for rescue missions. The vehicle had no armor and relied on speed and agility to avoid enemy fire, though it was fitted with a rear-mounted laser cannon operated by the vehicle's gunner. A fluttercraft on Kashyyyk.The Raddaugh Gnasp was developed as a civil security patrol vessel, and was commonly used in recon missions and perimeter scans in the dangerous underbrush of Kashyyyk's forests. However, it was pressed into military service during the Clone Wars, and saw action during the Battle of Kashyyyk in 19 BBY. Weeks later, they would be employed once more in the defense of the Wookiee homeworld, this time entering into combat against Imperial stormtroopers under the command of Darth Vader. Many fluttercraft had been retrofitted with laser cannons following the initial departure of Imperial forces from the planet. This time, however, the Wookiees did not prevail, and the planet was enslaved. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/8/8f/Wookie_Fluttercraft.jpg http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/1/19/Catamaran.JPG The Naboo N-X Police Cruiser, most commonly called the Police Cruiser, was the atmospheric version of the N-1 Starfighter, although it was also capable of sub-orbital flight. It was nine meters long and resembled the yellow N-1 aside from a third engine module, lack of an astromech droid, and the blue paint scheme, though both were remarkably similar in appearance and performance. The N-X was a recent addition to the Royal Naboo Security Forces during the Invasion of Naboo. The N-X was designed and manufactured by Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps which also developed the highly successful N-1. The RSF garrison in Theed received the first squadron of these fighters a year before the Battle of Naboo. Other Naboo city-states had since started to receive their own N-X squadrons. Because of their likeness to the N-1's, they would often be used as training vessels. The light alloy armored hull on the N-X is similar to the N-1 and also gives the fighter its speed and maneuverability. This has made the N-X starfighter an excellent patrol craft and atmospheric missions. However, when forced to engage heavier or more numerous enemies, its weakness become apparent. In such situations, the pilot has no alternative but to activate the overthruster and withdraw to friendly supporting units. During the occupation of Theed by the Trade Federation, a mixed force of N-X and N-1 fighters liberated a Trade Federation internment camp, this successful mix of vehicles brought the Trade Federation's droid forces into disarray days before the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship was destroyed in orbit over Naboo. During the Clone Wars, the N-X continued to serve the Naboo by combating both pirates and Separatist forces in the Naboo system. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/ee/Asgpolic.jpg The Variable Altitude Assault Transport/ enforcement (VAAT/e) was a predecessor to the LAAT gunship used by the Coruscant Police Force and Republic Security Force as a rapid troop deployment platform. It was manufactured by Rothana Heavy Engineering and measured 25 meters in length, 7 meters in height, and had a wingspan measuring 25 meters. Its cargo capacity was about 36 cubic meters in the main hold, and it could carry about 15 troops and 1 IM-6 battlefield medical droid. Its crew consisted of one pilot, one copilot/gunner, and two auxiliary turret gunners. It was armed with a concussion missile launcher and two dual heavy laser cannon turrets. A VAAT/e was used against Jango Fett after he assassinated Senator Connus Trell. http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/c/cc/CoruscantPolice.jpg
