Star Wars Discussion / Re: Opinion: Dark Empire is a little stupid

« on: April 03, 2018, 10:19:33 AM »

Timothy Zahn didn't like Dark Empire. Originally, Dark Empire was supposed to be set shortly after RotJ, but after Zahn refused to reference it while writing the Thrawn trilogy, they moved Dark Empire in the timeline to post-Thrawn. Lots of inconsistencies popped up because of that alone.

Not a fan of Daala. Inconsistent character, her actions did not match the supposed genius of her reputation...basically, the description of the character never matched the actions.

Personally, I think my plan would be to build some awesome stuff before losing Isard, and then using Thrawn as a force multiplier.

Hey! I remember reading your name a few times in the Empire in Flames newsposts!

Yes, EiF is my project. I take breaks from working on that to play EaW on occasion, and listen to Corey Loses videos while I actually am working. Really looking forward to 2.2.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Re: Can someone help explain the role of Nebulon-B Frigates in this mod?

« on: March 22, 2018, 06:16:42 PM »

I'm reserving full judgement until 2.2 is out, but playing 2.2 demo...

Stock EaW generally ran with three levels of ships - corvettes, frigates, and Mon Cal cruisers/Star Destroyers.

2.2 demo adds the supers on top...and kind of invalidates frigates. The smallest ships are still useful in an anti-fighter role, but past that I haven't found it particularly useful to build anything smaller than Star Destroyers. (Granted, I'm not a great EaW/FoC/TR player by any means.)

YMMV.

(Incidentally, I'd love to see a war-in-the-Outer-Rim type mod where the combat all happens between small ships - Neb-Bs would be about the biggest vessel you'd regularly field. Building an ISD or MC80 would be the equivalent of building an Executor in TR. Alas, my game modding time is devoted elsewhere...)

EaW and FoC Mods / Re: Favorite Mods

I have a soft spot for one of the very first mods I ever played, regardless of how badly broken it is - AoSW: JCW. Always wish it would've gotten further development.

My dream scenario (never gonna happen) is for Thrawn to show up in the chimera during Episode 9 with a Chiss fleet and clean house.

I'd settle for a novel about a campaign of the Chiss fighting the First Order.

The Firestorm. Was my flagship back on Star Wars Galaxies live server...though granted, our biggest ships were gunboats. (Incom X4, baby.)

Hello!

I'm Halyn (my Internet ID going back to late 2003). Been enjoying Corey's videos, and looking forward to the 2.2 release of ICW. I've worked on game modding for a few different games (classic Dark Forces, X-wing, TIE Fighter, and in the last few years, Star Wars Galaxies), but never got into EaW modding outside of playing the better ones.

Can't wait to try out 2.2 for myself!

The LotR theme was a bit strong for my taste...when Ahsoka appeared at the end, I turned to my wife and shouted "AHSOKA THE WHITE!" and she cracked up.

Filoni has stated in several interviews that 1.) Ezra and Thrawn both survive the hyperspace jump, and 2.) Pellaeon is not dead.

If the story from this point forward was put in Zahn's hands, I think the continuation of Ezra/Thrawn's story could be amazing. But I'm unconvinced that Filoni would give us as interesting a Thrawn in that scenario.
