Which Star Wars mod/game do you like the most?

Warsie · Post by **Warsie** » 2007-04-12 01:04pm

So, this can be any game, RTS or otherwise for any game. It san be a mod for an existing SW game (say, Imperial Assault for Empire At War) or it can be an entirely new mod for a non-SW game, like Warlords for Homeworld 2.

So?

Conflict In Space: Empire At War mod.

Something is up with Warlords, somehow, the Executors is not some overly large heavily shielded brick with no bite.

LEGO, of course!

Rebellion. It's as close to a Star Wars Civ-style game as I've seen yet, and I love it.

Empire at War + various mods at various times

Ever since seeing Star Wars, I've always wanted to "do it right" and butcher the Rebel forces, primarily in space.

Good old x-wing.

Or, if you mean actual favourite game rather than game I feel most nostalgic about, then I'd have to say the later Jedi Knight games.

Warlords, although I'm pissed off that the latest version has cut out all my favourite ships while adding all the crap designs from EaW. The new weapon effects however are much nicer.

Wonder if EvilleJedi could be coaxed to come here instead of TF.N

Warsie · Post by **Warsie** » 2007-04-12 05:12pm

Heh...thank you all. Damn, I have to get EAW to work soon....I was only able to play it a few times at my school weeks ago.

Yeah, I'm getting Warords soon anyway, this reminded me/inspired me o make this thread.

The original TIE Fighter. With Jedi Outcast in close second. (Never played Academy.)

LOL Let's make a big list of all the dumb/nonsensical things EvilleJedi has done?

I'm going to have to go with LEGO. EaW blows, Rebellion is old and has too many broken mechanics, X-wing is too old... oh wait, TIE Fighter is awesome. I can't decide?

The SSD is a flying shielded brick now. Worthless.

I'm not sure what's up with the Warlords mod. Last i touched it a couple mths back, it was still not quite complete. Lots of stuff missing. Dunno what's going on with it.

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2007-04-12 05:43pm

I've both seen some of EJ's 'rationale' for changes and corresponded with him personally, and he seems to be quite mad. Warlords is a good idea, and it's got some good models, but the bad decisions just keep coming. It used to just be stupid weapon loadouts (lol WEG lol) and way too many indistingushable EU ship designs that were largely worthless - I'd say I can't believe they removed heaps of the designs and replaced them with fucking EaW bullshit, but I honestly CAN believe it.

What rationale did he give? I haven't stepped into the TF.N Fleet Junkie thread for an age.

How dare they!

Executor kicks ass, and they nerfed into uselessness? Or at best, a bullet shield for other SDs? Fuck EaW. I'm not going anywhere near it.

Things like 'this one example shows x fire rate from three guns, so hence the whole ship can only recycle weapons at that speed' or 'the WEG stats are shit and I hate them and I love more accurate stats - but I totally ignore all the ICSs because my fans hate them and jam in video-game only ships with worthless stats' and 'also 60tl 60ion is sensible for ISDs'. Ugh, the EU can clearly rot your brain.

My Gosh.... he tried to take a middle ground?!??!! What the heck?! Stuff those stats down those retards' throats!

It's the Warlords mod actually.

They nerfed the ship. Was trying the skirmish when I realised that the ship wasn't.. shooting a lot.

As for EaW, the Executor wasn't meant to do much actually. In fact, it's quite vulnerable to swarms of fighters.

No, he's a hypocrite who uses stats he knows are worthless - and ruin the game, by virtue of both nonsensical loadouts (lol ISD-I guns suck) and having asspiles of guns that rape the engine - while ignoring more accurate, more appropriate ones. If you think it makes sense that a corvette sized ship has a gun more powerful than any on an ISD-I, you're welcome to Warlords and all of it's stupidity.

And don't dare to correct him - despite his claims of open-mindedness and 'looking for more accuracy', he's just a WEG whore. Oh and basing ROF calculations on a single scene and totally ignoring others = dishonest, stupid, etc. Go on, engage him in conversation and laugh at his RETARDED rationale for any given decision. It's HILARIOUS.

Did they completely miss the term SUPER in Super Star Destroyer? Did they assume when Lucasfilm titled it that they really meant it was Clark Kent's personal Star Destroyer? How can these people claim to be fans of Star Wars and then shit all over the source matieral the way they do?

Oh I also liked how original EaW threw out the Venator class mid development and replaced it with the pussy Victory class. Even though it should have been the complete other way around. Nope, the EU just had to wank wank wank all over itself.

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2007-04-12 06:10pm

Due to stupid decisions in WL, the Executor can often only engage with a tiny fraction of it's (WEG) shockingly low armament due to RANGE. Yes that's right, the range on the guns is perhaps twice the length of the ship. AWESOME.

Sigh.. he ruined it.. I won't bother to download the mod anymore. In any case, his rate of update is like once every half year. Ridiculous WEG whores the whole lot of them. More reasons why I shouldn't go back to TF.N.

Does anyone who still plays Rebellion remember the cheesy shit you could do? I seem to remember manipulating the unkillable characters somehow and being able to render myself invincible and quickly bottle up the badguys in one planet. Am I insane?
