can any thing alone beat it??? i dont the nr will be able to stand up to that. Bet it cost 10000000000000 to build

One of mine got destroyed yesterday, so yes. The Executor class and Eclipse both have more hardpoints, but the Executor doesn't have a superlaser.

im sure it doesnt cost that much. if i had to guess i would they might put it at like 50,000? but i love thi screen shot

Hopefully more than 50,000, after all if the Executor, i.e., was ~ the size of 20 ISDs, and if ISDs cost 5000-6000 in the game, then realistically, the Executor would cost at least 100,000. I'd hope the SSDs cost somewhere around there, otherwise they might be too easy to build.

Really nice shots too.

Compensation for something?

clone13538 · « **Reply #6 on:** August 04, 2009, 12:59:05 AM »

ok but its takes along time to even get that much money, unless theres away u can earn mnore money faster. 100,000 is alot of money.

Slornie · « **Reply #7 on:** August 04, 2009, 07:08:29 AM »

Yeah, but like Med8r said it has to be balanced. Remember, the New Republic don't get their most powerful ships until after Palpatine's clone dies (and both the Sovereign and Eclipse are only in his Era)!

Split from ingame screens.

Oh ok i get it now. alright i forgot about the era's..lol ok then well i gues it does seem fair since there hard to destory so it does seem resonable for them to be that expensive.

Where did you see a picture and hardpoints of the SSD?

Slornie · « **Reply #11 on:** August 04, 2009, 11:54:04 AM »

This was split from the Ingame Screens: Imperial Civil War thread. Specifically, this post.

Corey · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2009, 12:00:02 PM »

There was a screenshot of the Sovereign here.

Just so people know the Sovereign class has around 78 and a superlaser, the Eclipse has 93 and a superlaser, and the Executor and Viscount classes has 138.

For comparison, the next ship down is the Tector with 20.

If I remember, the GCW Minimod for EAW that came out a while ago made the Excecutor 115,000. So I would expect it to be around there.

Hm. Its only 80,000 in my version. Still, the units stats were adjusted to fit with EAW, so don't rely on that too much.

Hmmmmm. Maybe that V1. Or maybe not. But you're right. Now that you say that, I realize that it isn't reliable.

The cost should depend on the cost of the ISD. Make it cost like 10 times as much.
