Star Wars Discussion / HandofThrawn45 fan fics
« on: November 04, 2019, 01:47:58 PM »

Hello fellow EU/Legends fans,

I wanted to share with you the works of someone who wrote stories that fit into the now-Legends continuity. The difference with most other fan-made stories (albeit the quality) is that he start from unfinished official stories such as the so-called Sword of the Jedi, the planed post-NJO Mara Jade story by Timothy Zahn or the novella that Dan Wallace was to write about Grand Admiral Grant during the Yuuzhan Vong War. With the exception of this late one, all are novel-sized comparable to the usual EU novels. There's also a duology that ends the storylines from both Imperial Commando and Coruscant Nights. But among those which are likely to be the most interesting for members of this forum, are a novel centered on Pellaeon and the planned one set to be the link between the X-Wing comics and the X-Wing novels, with a nice casting of Grand Admirals and other warlords.

Hello,

You may have heard that the Apeiron mod for Kotor have been forced to stop devellopement by Lucasfilm.

Is something similar may be expected for TR ?

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / GCs proposal for 2.3
« on: July 07, 2018, 04:21:28 AM »

Hi all,

For the next release I don't know if the team plan to add new GCs (we have almost everything we could have dreamt for) but here's two I was thinking of :

 - Borderland Regions Campaign which would focus on the North-East corner of the Galaxy with the following playable faction : NR, IR and maybe Greater Maldrood impersonating Antemeridian sector. The main event of this GC in the lore is the Battle of Celanon which saw Gilad Pellaeon's Reaper destruction against Etahn A'baht. There's also the possibility to add a minor faction Empire Reborn/Disciples of Ragnos. And there also the capture of the Guardian by the Special Acquisition Unit (you know Sienn & Cavv ;D ) that may be included, depending on the faction played.

 - Invids Crisis which would set the NR against Greater Maldrood impersonating Leonia Tavira's Invids. It should be a small GC and, I know it would be hard, but it would be nice to add some asymmetrical warfare flavor. Maybe with timed events/planets locked or timed victory condition.

And you, have you any idea of GCs you might like to see in the futur ?

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / More little warlord planets ?
« on: June 12, 2018, 02:54:44 AM »

Hello all,

There's already some single planets controled by small warlords and in certain conditions you can appropriate their heroes. Would you like to have more of them ?

Lambda Sector and Kathol Sector would be nice add to ICW's lore but in gameplay perspective they may not seems the best choices.

There's also Empire Reborn that if located in the Lenico Belt (their base in Jedi Knight II), could be used to give more heroes to Pentastar (I am not sure they need them) but that would be odd to have them in Era 1. Maybe locking the planet until Era 4 but I am not sure it would be worth it. Same can be applied for Kaarenth Dissension/Restored Empire and make them spawn in Era 5 (or just in Orinda Campaign, I think Corey mentionned something like that).

Is there other you want to see or you think there's already enough in 2.2 ?

Ascendancy Discussion / Political leader for the NR ?
« on: June 09, 2018, 03:35:53 AM »

Hello,

You all know that the IR had three choices for political leader, what if it was the same for the NR.
Pro: that would give better replayablity, more diversity in games, wether you are playing NR or against it
Con: the NR have already all the units it needs and such change would maybe need to had new units to Ascendancy

But the major changes would probably be in technology and just a unique unit and a unique hero roster to each leader would be sufficient, for example:
 - Mon Mothma would have a doctrine more oriented on battleship (unique unit: MC80 Home One) with heroes like Ackbar (MC90), Nantz (MC80 Home One) and Hiram Drayson (MC80 Liberty ?)
 - Leia Organa would have a doctrine more oriented to fighter support (unique unit: Defender-class carrier) with heroes like A'baht (Endurance), Solo (MC80b) and Antilles (ISD)
 - Borsk Fey'lya would have a doctrine more oriented to small ships (unique unit: BAC) with heroes like Sovv (Dauntless), Kre'fey (BAC) and Bel Iblis (Dreadnaught)

What do you think, that much sub-factions would be worth balancing for extra diversity ?

Star Wars Discussion / Is that Firmus Nantz in Mutiny at Mon Cala ?
« on: June 07, 2018, 05:39:28 AM »

Hello,

Issue #45 of Marvel's ongoing Star Wars had some cameo. And I think here it's Nantz with Willard (a General present in Legends novel Razor's Kiss) :



Sorry for this Larroca's art, but here's more and far worst if you want :laugh: :



Marvel is definetely not Dark Horse and the time of good comics is now behind us. But anyway, what's your thoughts on this "Nantz" ?

Star Wars Discussion / Solo [WITH SPOILER]
« on: May 24, 2018, 10:35:58 AM »

LAST WARNING / SPOILER

Hello,

I've seen the movie yesterday. I've found it a little bellow Rogue One with a start I found not much interesting and a bad ending but the rest (from the time Chewie joins to the time Lando left) was good. If there wasn't that ending and the appearance of Maul, well it would may the best Disney movie so far for me. Well see if the next spin-off (Obi-Wan ?) can do better.

The Legends fans would see some references to Lando's trilogy from the 80s. Other specific topic in the movie you want to discuss ? Feel free :)

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / New Republic interdictors
« on: April 23, 2018, 08:32:12 AM »

Corey asked "Do we really need CC-7700?" for the release of patch 10 of the Beta as there is now the boarding shuttle.

In my opinion interdictors should be scares. Remember how Solo had to ally with Rogriss to get one. That being said, we (only) know of the use of CC-7700 in the post-RotJ during the Shadowspawn campaign and during the last imperial campaign (which get its own GC in 2.2). I propose that the CC-7700 to be not buildable but that a handful would be available at the beginning of GC starting in 4-6 ABY and at the beginning of Final Imperial Push. Or that we can build it only in Era 1 and/or 5 (when Corellia is part of the NR).

And there's also Illor who should be available after Isard takes power.

What's your opinion on this guys ?

Star Wars Discussion / Solo Teaser
« on: February 05, 2018, 09:25:09 AM »

The first two teasers for the new upcoming movie about Han Solo :





Sounds not bad despite the main actor will have a hard time to go up to Harrison Ford's prestation. Han Solo is Han Solo because of him after all.

Is the girl Sana Starros from the comics ? Not sure if they will make such link despite what was promised.

Also there's rumors that a novel (or more likely a compilation of short stories) named Covalent Light will be announced to tie-in with the movie.

Hype is still low but start to grow. Just a hundred of days to wait from now.

Hello guys,

At least three european countries had received restriction on the publication of  Legends materials.

Here's an article which summarize the situation in France. I urge you to have a look at it, if you care a little about the former universe (the particular restriction on the comics may even interest the fans of Disney's futur movies and projects) :
http://www.theexpandeduniverse.com/single-post/2018/02/02/Mort-des-L%C3%A9gendes-Part-III

Is that an insight that they will do the same in the US too ? Look like as there is no economic reason behind this, only that Disney want to erase the former universe and make it disapear, in the shops and in our minds. Is that because most of their books/comics are inferior to the former ones or that because they want to re-use in mass the content (particulary characters) in "new" stories ?

Disney is not assuming the legacy of the licence they bought, it's lame...

Thanks for reading

Discussion, Suggestions and Feedback / 2008 Clone Wars Cartoon
« on: February 02, 2018, 05:23:40 AM »
Rolster ? ???

This faction belongs to a Story Group Canon mod, not one based on Legends timeline.

It's not because the dev' team is gonna use some heroes from TCW (such as Trench, as the CSI lacks space heroes) that they gonna add an entire (insignificant in both storyline and military capabilities) faction.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Another idea for sort of skirmish
« on: January 05, 2018, 02:53:15 AM »

Hello guys,

I tought of a way to have quickly set up fleet battles. At the start you chose one of the pre-defined limited roster such as Isard's Bacta War fleet (Lusankya, 2 ISD-II & 1 VSD-II), Zsinj's Group One (Iron Fist, 1 ISD, 1 VSD, 2 Dreadnaught, 1 Carrack, 1 Quasar Fire & 1 Lancer), Solo's fleet (Mon Remonda, 1 MC80b, 2 ISD-II, 1 ISD-I, 1 MC80 Liberty, 3 Nebulon-B, 1 Quasar Fire, 1 CR90 & 1 Marauder), one of A'baht's task force, and so on with Thrawn, Ackbar and others. I think we can have more or less balanced fleet battles. I believe it would be nice to play that alone but also in multiplayer. Is that feasible and worth it in your point of view ?

Multiplayer / Sins' DLC
« on: December 28, 2017, 12:28:25 PM »
Hello,

Depending with which of my friends I am playing Ascendancy, I had to deactivate DLCs to play and save games. Are we missing things playing without these DLC ?

Ascendancy Tech Support / Credits lost with Daala
« on: November 23, 2017, 02:35:31 AM »
Hello,

I had an issue multiple times with the IR. When I had Daala, alive and well, when I reached 10,000 credits sometimes, the 10,000 credits were removed from my total like to build Daala but as I already have her, the credits were just lost. Particulary painful when you want to build a regular Executor. Is that a known issue or is there another explanation ?

Ascendancy Discussion / World Devastator
« on: August 31, 2017, 02:43:03 AM »

We probably missed something... But how did we build them ?

My friend researched the World Devastator, then scuttled a planet (that left a small asteroid) but what next ? Should it pop ? Where ? Should it be built ? Where ?
