Well, maybe they were just there the second that the screenshot was taken, but it didn't did look like they were going anywhere. I like Mygetto very much, and the other two members of the old Clone Wars "Triad of Evil", which I know are in...  [Read More]

In one of the screenshots I saw what looked like a Twi'lek on Nal Hutta. Does this mean that you'll be able to have units native to one planet in you're attack groups and garrisons on other worlds? Or are they're normally Twi'leks on Nal Hutta (I hav...  [Read More]

I'm betting it means you won't get Vader as a hero until you purchase the Executor. Oh, and in the canon Vader flies an experimental TIE Advanced/x1, equipped with a hyperdrive. I think this will be the case as well, but they could just have Vader...  [Read More]

Something like this. (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rawk_chopped_special) Thanks, that's awesome! Good to know he's not alone in using large energy shotgun-pistols! So, from what we've seen so far, if the Consortium loses Tyber, they're stuffed. I...  [Read More]

The Merciless has a cloaking generator, and also has Blast (a high-powered shot from the main cannon that is pretty nasty; usually a one-hit kill for a hard point or smaller ships). OK cool, thanks. That white logo on the Consortium ships is pretty...  [Read More]

Just looking thorugh the pics Aayla posted - great job by the way - and there are a few pictures of the Merciless. It's an Aggressor-class ship. http://www.gamed.nl/messages/32174.jpg I was wondering who commands it? I assume Tyber, but I could be...  [Read More]

You can put five squads of infantry into a bunker, and they can shoot out at passing units. So the effect you get is by mixing and matching infantry types. You could make a strong anti-vehicle bunker by packing them with PLEX soldiers for example, or...  [Read More]

Urai is neither a bird or connected to any avian races. I will say he is from one of the few long lived races in the galaxy (that doesn't go insane). In addition, his race is connected to the force, but they can never be Jedi or Sith. Torpid can go...  [Read More]

Excellent find there, Darth Ablett. Some very interesting in-game footage. Thanks! Yeah, as I said in the first post IGN have updated their site with a breakdown of some of the Underworld (Zann Consortium, whatever) land units, including Vornskrs, t...  [Read More]

He looks like a vicious version of Sam Eagle to me! I think he looks great. There aren't enough avian races in Star Wars. It's not really his race that bugs me; I think that's pretty cool. It's his oversized blades that I think look a bit outrageous...  [Read More]

Good work Ablett. I'm not a big fan of IGN but I'm impressed with the videos they have produced. Thanks! I personally don't mind IGN, I reckon some of them give good reviews, and they're good for consoles. Anyway, Petro's site has been updated rece...  [Read More]

There are a bunch of new videos up at IGN; not much is new but it's good to see anyway. There is a small accompanying article telling us stuff we already know, but probably worth reading anyway. Any news is good news, right? (maybe with the excepti...  [Read More]

Well, since the ability has now been coded into the game, it should be a simple task to play with XMLs to give any other unit with a hangar this ability. Maybe they'll do it for us, I mean all Star Destroyers only have 1 special ability (Piett exclu...  [Read More]

The tractor beam is correct. The second ability allows it to launch squadrons at will (similar to Vader's replenish wingman ability). Unlike normal Imperial ships, you click the button and it spits out the fighters, bombers, etc., so you can choose w...  [Read More]

Have the Space maps in FOC been extended to suit the Executor?? Yes, I'm pretty sure a Petro Developer said they were expanding all existing maps by about 30-40%. The Executor will still take up a fair chunk of real estate though! EDIT : Oh, and Im...  [Read More]

Most likely the same abilities as the other Imperial space units; tractor beam or boost weapon power. It's possible that the Executor will have a new special ability. Yeah, I figured as much. It would be cool if it had something else, but not necess...  [Read More]

OK then, that's good to know that it has to be built - hopefully at quite a price, since once it is bought it respawns. I've got another question: What are its special abilities? I assume it'll have a tractor beam like the regular ISDs, what is the...  [Read More]

This is a great idea. I'd like to know the answers to these questions as well. I suppose another question would be: at what tech level does it appear, but I reckon the answers to these main questions should answer this as well....  [Read More]

One of the reasons for the apparent size disagreement is that Lucas has never given an official size for the thing. The sizes that are listed at Wookieepedia and other places are all fan approximations based on a few screen shots from Dark Forces, in...  [Read More]

Meh, who cares. It's just a game. I've been a devoted Star Wars fan since I was eight, but my policy is to never consider anything presented in a game canon. Saves me a lot of aggravation. Canon is for the movies and the books; games are for fun. I...  [Read More]

Ah, I see. I hadn't noticed that. In that case it does indeed look like the Arc Hammer has been scaled down. I'm only guessing, but it's probably so that the space maps won't get too crowded, especially if both it and the Executor happens to be prese...  [Read More]

Yes, it's the long thin ship that looks like a silverfish :) And contrary to most of the frigates in the game, it is not purposed to be a corvette killer - it is fast and highly effective against large ships... Oh, ok. That seems like a fairly uniqu...  [Read More]
