Title for the Star Wars game...

Laughing Mechanicus · Post by **Laughing Mechanicus** » 2002-10-29 08:34am

I'm tired of refering to the game we're working on as "The New Star Wars game". I need suggestions for a good title, some ideas to get your started would be "Star Wars: Starship" "Star Wars: Captain" and "Star Wars: Command". Personally I like the SW: Starship one the best so far but I'm sure there are slightly more inspiring names people can think of. If we get a few good one we'll get a mod to change this thread into a poll to decide the best. Remember the game is based on you commanding a single starship with limited control over others, so try and keep the names in context, no SW: Hoggwarts for example

Time period is from the inception of the Empire to the Battle of Endor, at least to begin with anyway...

Star Wars: In the Emperor's Service

How's that for a title?

May I try and improve on it:

"Star Wars: The Emperor's Starfleet"

or "Star Wars: The Imperial Starfleet"

Also Aaron, where do you get all those cool clonetrooper shots?!

Star Wars - Imperial Star Fleet

Star Wars - Kill the Fishboy

Star Wars - Better than ANY Trek game ever

Star Wars - Rise and Fall of the Empire.

Just a few suggestions.

Some of those names are starting to sound like Star Trek games. How about this:

Star Wars Rebellion (how it should have been done in the first place)

In all seriousness though, how about THE EMPIRE'S FINEST.

Wow, loads of cool suggestion. I like the ones with reference to the Emperor/Empire:

Rise of the Empire

In the Emperors Service

The Emperors/Imperial Starfleet

The Emperors Finest

Vympel, I got these Clone Trooper pics from http://www.screenthemes.com. They have loads of high quality AOTC pictures (1600x1200) and loads of the OT concept art of the same quality, catch is you have to pay for them, they're not very much though $5 for 15 or something.

Star Wars: Imperial Navy
Star Wars: Naval Commander
Star Wars: The/A New Order
Star Wars: Naval Force
Star Wars: By Imperial Decree/Dictate

just a few off the cuff.

so if I understand your comments correctly the game only gives you command of one ship + can make suggestions, from a menu or some such, to other capitals.
What of the fighters; a) deployed from your ship (when your ship has this capability); b) deployed from else where
do they use a similar 'orders/suggestions' system?

The fighters deployed from your ships will be directly under your command, this goes for ground forces too (planetary assault will be added later, at first via a hologram as seen in the Geonosian war room in AOTC then later when we get good planetary graphics by you actually going down in an AT-AT to lead from the front, General Veers style.

Cewl !!! I want to ride that AT-AT now

Am I correct in the type of interaction with other ships? Is it some kind of 'wingman order' mechanism as seen in the X-wing games family (and mechwarrior, and ... everywhere else come to think of it)

What is the time horizon for the developement process (more importantly: when can we expect the finished game)?

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-10-29 02:02pm

Star Wars: Power of the Empire

Star Wars: The Civil War

Star Wars: Empire vs. Rebellion

Star Wars: Star Destroyer Command

Star Wars: Total War

I like the following best so far:
SW: The New Order
SW: Rise and Fall of the Empire
SW: The Empire's Fleet

How about:
SW: The Rise and Fall of the Empire's New Order from the Viewpoint of the Empire's Fleet
Isn't that a nice short working title? :p
Shorter version would be:
SWTRaFotENOftVotEF

Seriously:
Star Wars: The Empire
Star Wars: A Captains Life :p
Star Wars: Imperial Navy
Star Wars: Imperial Starfleet
Star Wars: The Empire's struggle

How about

Star Wars: Imperial Admiral

Star Wars Wars

Star Wars: Glory of the Empire

The New Star Wars Game

Star Wars: Ultimate Battlegrounds

Star Wars: Imperial Smack Down

The Imperial Smack Down (ISD

) one is good.

After you have enough suggestions you may want to consider running a poll with the ones you like the best. That may help you determine which name to go with.

Here's some off-the-cuff ideas.

Star Wars: Imperium
Star Wars: Hand of the Empire
Star Wars: Empire at War

I personally like Star Wars: Fleet Command

or Star Wars: Flag Officer.

It might help if I had an idea of the general plot of the game, though if you don't want to give that out, I would more than understand.
