Err...sorry.
I just think the Pirate units are very ugly (unsightly).
If the story is brand new, its pretty much the same except some guy in a studio wrote it and not some kid in math class.
Anyhow, then it might have lucas's consent to be EU...maybe not, as it contradicts all EU canon tho.

Yeah, I agree. The pirate units are rather "Ugly" But of coarse it is because they are using second hand units :P

But fromt he screen u'll be allowed to play Rebals and Empire aswell, so it can't be all bad.

Lookin forward to it :wink:

Off-topic : Droid803, if the "Expansion" intended to Star Wars : Empire At War mentioned here was partially based on the "Expanded Universe", then I guess that only brand-new Vehicles / Starships, such as the TIE Crawler or the TIE Avenger, would be integrated inside this LucasArts Product, while doubting that entire Environments would be designed and assembled for it, especially if they didn't appear in any Star Wars Episode...

check this thread (with dev input) for more info(/debate/a little flaming) about how the storyline may fit in with the rest of the eu (warning its 9 pages). it basically results in the dev's saying to wait until we've actually experienced it before we get upset about how it contradicts everything else.

Well, LucasArts is making a lot of new games, so they arent annoncing anything new yet.

I Beleive This expansion is technically anounced as "New"

Anyway though, they are rather productive as of late. I was watching G4 TV on the E3 coverage(man, I with I was there) and one of the people at LA said they have alot planned in the upcoming year.

I'm not exactely a Star Wars nut, but I do however LOVE the games.

I'm also somwhat excited about LEGO Star Wars 2, I'm not quite sure why LOL


P.S. I've gotten back into EaW modding now so expect some possible work from me.

I just watched the E3 Gamplay Vids, and I say its not that bad anymore. Although the Executor is too weak....I mean its hould be nearly invincible. I like the Death Star 2 tho...ackbar got owned...
Orbital Bombardment sounds fun, b

Off-topic : moncal', I guess the idea you've suggested inside your above message might have important chances to be integrated in the Star Wars : Empire At War "Expansion" dealt in this thread, as this Twin Ion Engine Declension has already been exploited in a few other LucasArts video-games, such as Star Wars : Rebel Assault II - The Hidden Empire, as clearly stated in this Wikipedia Article...
On the hand, MandalorianGuard, might I know the exact point of having added a message similar to your last one ? Indeed, I do not think that sharing your Remarks or Comments related to the appearance of the TIE models I have mentioned earlier was really required, and that's why it has been simply removed from this topic...

I can't wait to get my hands on that Executor Star destroyer. The Empire looks like its going to pwn in this expansion.


LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!!! :emp: :atat: :dstar:

Off-topic : In my opinion, your above Statement might be fully realizable if Star Wars - Empire At War : Forces of Corruption allowed the Galactic Empire to have access to Units, Vehicles, Starships and other sorts of Technologies coming from either the "Unknown Regions" or the "Outer Rim" Territories , such as those mainly exploited on Csilla or by the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium, since both those two Planetary Organizations own "Advanced" Equipments which have already interested many other Factions, as stated in a few Star Wars Novels... :wink:

Leviathan, do you have some sort of problem with posting normally? Without bolding, and highlighting?

I'm just curious as you seem to do it in every post.....when its never needed.

No offense is meant.

Off-topic : Alright, Juggernaut', I have always exploited most of the Potential offered by the Message-Boards I usually consult (Such as the one hosted on GameToast Server, for sample), and as phpBB, vBulletin and all other PHP-based Forums owns "Advanced" features, I can't help using them as often as possible, since I do not want them to remain unused by members of the Communities I am affiliated to.
Furthermore, the fact I "bold" or "highlight" all the names of either Companies or video-games mentioned inside a few local threads is basically intended to emphasize the content they have provided to their respective owners and equally to implicitly thank the Authors of the concerned Stuffs...

Leviathan, What is Csilla and the Ssi-ruuvi Imperium? And what do they have to do with the Executor Star Destroyer?

Off-topic : General_Grievous_4, even though I equally appreciate to exploit most of the Potential available and offered by the phpBB Message-Board hosted on GameToast Server, I have learnt for a certain time that misusing the Colorization Syntaxes wasn't really recommended to make sure the concerned messages would be noticed by members around the threads they would have been inserted in, as they would not probably be entirely read by them, and that's why I would propose you to cancel such acts now...
Moreover, if you wish to get more informations regarding either "Csilla" or the "Ssi-ruuvi Imperium", then I would avise you to consult this Wikipedia-affiliated Section...

Off-topic : Alright, General', feel free to go on exploiting a Message's Formatting similar to the one I usually use on GameToast Forums, but in that precise case, I have to warn you that producing replies, resembling to those you have recently inserted on this Message-Board, might not favour the positive Feedbacks a few other members might submit to me in a near future...

I feel that the expansion is just out their to make some money. I don't mind the SSD or some more empire and rebel suff, but the pirate addition is really lame. It doesn't hold up with the Star Wars storyline and jsut looks cheesy. Most likely a no buy for me.
