Im pretty sure mini's going with capital ship, but thats just what I've gathered from the thread. We don't know any more than you do.

hmmm... you know, you are actually making a different version of the Victory class star destroyer, Minilogoguy, as there is already one in BF2 :wink:

He probably does, Elmo, but as you can see, this one is far superior. :P

The Victory-Class frigate in BFII is no where near the actual Victory-Class Star Destroyer. This is what it should really look like. The one in BFII was pretty much just made up by the devs so they could give the Empire something to match the Rebel Blockade Runner.

*sigh*

...Read the above post. And the rest of the thread. And look at the reference shots. And then look at the BF2 one.

mines gonna be a capital ship, itll have a hanger on the underside but i doubt ill do much more customizing other than that. also schizo has the right answer, the SWBF2 victory class frigate is non-cannon, it was pretty much made up, i heard someone say that you can actually see the victory class ISD that im making in ep 4 in the beginning but ill have to look hard.

The empires frigate in star was battlefront 2 is a made-up ship based of the victory class destroyer, but still given the same name.

Comparatively, the one mini's making (which is accurate) and the one in the base bf2 (non-cannon) are totally different. Where it not for the fact that its localized as a Victory frigate, it'd be nearly impossible to recognize they are both the same ship.

So mini's ship is an accurate Victory-Class Star Destroyer. The Star Destroyer in game is close enough to accurate to be considered cannon. The ingame Imperial frigate, however, is nothing like the 'canonical' version, it is the fake

no the victory 2 frigate isnt even close, google victory 2 ISD, its like mine but with 3 large engines instead of 2 and lacks the wings but everything else is the same.

Didn't catch that. What exactly do you mean?

Firstly, I was under the impression (you have 2 large engines like the Victory-I, the Victory-II has 3 large engines) that you were making the Victory-I destroyer.

The ingame frigate version has wings and yeah I guess 3 large engines instead of two.

You can still see the idea and faint resemblence between the ingame frigate and the accurate version, but they are too far apart for the ingame one to be considered a canonical recreation of the actual ship.

So yeah the ingame one is nothing like the one your making.

the victory on the bottom is the TRUE victory 2, which is nothing like the SWBF2 version, the SWBF2 version is in no way cannon and is only recognized on the SW wiki as just being a made up ship for this game.

For SWBF2 they did someting that resebled a Star Destroyer. I never saw that it said it was a Victory II - Class Star Destroyer

I believe its localized as a victory destroyer.

And I hate feeling like I'm argueing with you when I'm argueing the same point as you its so confusing ahhhhhhh

no you said that it looked like the victory, when it doesnt, it doesnt look like either model, not even the one its named after.

I said it faintly resembles it.

Technically, any ship shaped like an arrowhead can 'faintly resemble' the Victory-Class ISD's.

But, that wasn't why I reference the similarity.

It has the two rectangular peices that come out off the regular body near the back, which are clearly unique to the Victory-I ISD's. It also has the same engine setup as the Victory-II's, which though isn't that defining, it is a similarity.

I myself can see similarities between them. But as I said many times, they are so faint and vague that the ingame model is no where near cannon.

Ok, the victory star destroyer in BF2 is not made up, It is a smaller and earlier version of the victory class star destroyer. Mini's ISD is a later version of the Victory class. But still, the one in game is not fake and made up. :wink:

Yeah, it actually is. It's appeared nowhere outside of BFII. It was simply made up for the game.
