Yeah, political and religious disscusions bring out the worst in people. Hmm Star Wars games...we started discussing games on the other thread....

Well we all pretty much go on and off topic pretty often around here, but it all works out eventually.

Yes, indeed but lets get something half decent on this topic before we get spamming....as in real spam not the fake spam we usually do....

SW games are fun. (Is that into the Topic?)

Okay, lets now discuss what would be the best way to implement a game based on or loosely on NJO.

I would love a Rebellion-like game set during the NJO....it is a mere daydream though

But we will continue to dream

I would recommend a strategie blending ressource collecting, space battles, diplomacy, ground assault, commando units and exploration.

I just described Rebellion II

Well what about a game more closely linked to say.. Jedi Outcast where it's more about Jedi in that You are a Jedi fighting amphistaff wielding Yuuzhan Vong.

Well that would probably be pretty cool, anything with the vong is cool, but I'm one for a strategy game.....

Or a Yuuzhan Vong with a Amphistaff fighting a Jedi wielding a Lightsaber.

That would be interesting for you to be in the perspective of a Vong. Like you could have a level that is about sneaking around whering an ooglith masequer (sp?) or something.

Well being a Vong would be pretty darned cool. Spying on New Republic agents...

Hmm what about a game like Battlefront with vong?

Who knows? Maybe an NJO extension.

Hey darky what about a new SWG expansion: Vong Invasion!!

Even you couldn't resist that! I'd be the first one to join the Vong.

H3Y D3WDZ L3TZ PWNZ THE N00BS

I'd be the first one to join the Vong.

 

With about a million other people...

Yep

But we'd still be outnumbered because all the idiots like to be the good guys so they can have some glorious victory

Stupid Rebels

VONG FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of us logical....err insane....are pro Vong of course. Sadly everyone isn't insane.

I find Vongs have a very interessting culture.

I think they're sort of a Klingon rip-off. Pain as a god? I wasn'treally impressed. They're also tactically inferior. They rely too heavily on overwhelming numbers. And their hate of tech and thier refusal to learn about it was stupid. You must learn about your enemy and their abilities before you can defeat them.

Well it did them well till the very end...

Pain wasn't a God, it was just something Stackpole came up, but later authors tried to correct it. You just have to accept death and pain as part of life.

 

They rely too much on overwhelming numbers, well yes, but so did the Empire, and that doesn't prevent much of us to like the Imps. They hate tech but they learned a lot through it, after the capture of Obroa-Skai some selected members had access to information there before it was processed into qahsas or whatever, their quick response to any new gadgets the GFFA came up was impressive. And the Slayers as the final response to the Jedi was cool.

 

I think the Vong suffered much from the first NJO books, particularly in Vector Prime and in Stackpole's books that ultimately didn't fit well with the rest of the series. Both enemies Praetorite Vong and Domain Shai just vanish in later books. Luceno's books as well suffer from it, because it leaves ends open that will be only closed far far later. (Ryn, they are gone for most of the series and then pop out of nowhere in the "Re-"Trilogy, the Imps), And even Anakin's and Tahiri's unfulfilled prophecy in Keyes's duology. After Star by Star, NJO gained more coherence,(except Dark Journey) and threads of the story were continued until they joined with the main plot again.

From what I understood of Vong culture. They consider that their Gods sacrificed pieces of themself to create the universe. The Vong honor them by taking pain and cutting pieces of themself off to replace them by organic replacements.

Trej, I am a bit rusty on the older NJO books, what prophecy was not fulfilled?
