I don't have a special component for the empire. It's a 0 on the race.txt file.

Lordxorn, would you like me to make a rebel flag .wmf file?

That is on my list to do, I just don't know if most people like changing their permanent files, and having to back them up. Some people don't know how to do this. What do you guys think?

That is strange it should not be 0, I will double check that one.

I am liking the escorts as fighter squadrons. [8D]

I tried downloading it, and it tells me the zip file is corrupted. I will try again. The weapons file was fine.

yes, and no. I am not sure the fighters look so hot when they are being shot up, and the movement is not exactly fighhter like. Even so, I do use the ARC-170 on my mods and it is okay. I have not done so with the CIS... though I do have Droid Tri Fighter model to work with.

Personally, I've got all mine set up for Star Trek, I'm too lazy to keep changing back and forth, so I'm just kind of ignoring the flagshapes when playing Star Wars.[:D]

However I do think it makes a big difference, but only for those few who are willing to change the files. I'll make the wmf if you want, just put in the mod folder so you don't have to upload a seperate file. Those who wish to use them can do so.

Who knows, modable flag shapes could be included in the next patch.

Yeah it would be a great help if you could edit one for the Rebels, it is a little chore to do one. [:D]

To tjhkkr,

I just downloaded the zip, and it extracted ok. I am using WINRAR.

Download successful... and yes, it looks sharp as usual. I have got to remember to bring my stuff from home and upload it for you...

Here are a few SW ships, 1 CIS, 4 Corellian, a couple of Republic ships.
Also, I included my SW planets list. About 400 are SW, the remainder have been filled out by Greek city names and the like.
If you want them... enjoy.

I incorporated your Star Wars planet list which was more comprehensive then mine. [:D]

I will take a look at your stuff.

I am also working on Robotech Race.

So we will see where things end up.

I may be moving soon, so I will be busy, plus a full load of college classes.

Hopefully by the time I get resettled, and finish this semester, the !GASP! Expansion will be out in December.

Imperial Class Star Destroyer versus Romulan D'deridex Class Warbird :-

[On the Star Destroyer bridge]

Imperial Officer: Sir, There's a vessel de-cloaking astern.

Imperial Captain: What? No ship that small has a cloaking device! Oh, wait that's pretty @*^'~'# big!

Imperial Officer: They're arming weapons!

Imperial Captain: You may fire when ready...

[Star Destroyer begins firing volleys of turbo laser blasts at the Warbird]

[On the Romulan Bridge]

Romulan Centurian: Commander, the oversized cheese wedge-shaped vessel is firing on us with primative lasers.

Romulan Commander: Hmmm, Don't they know lasers won't even penetrate our atmospheric shielding?

Romulan Centurian: Obviously they never saw that episode of ST:TNG when Commander Riker states that exact piece of techno-babble. Shall I return fire?

Romulan Commander: Just let me finish filing my nails...

[5 minutes later...]

Romulan Commander: Alright, fire all disruptor arrays at their shield generators. Then begin beaming boarding parties over.

Romulan Centurian: But sir, that ship is almost 2 kilometres in length, they have over 9,700 troops on board.

Romulan Commander: 9,700 troops? 9,700? What the hell do they need all those troops for? Who ARE these people?... Ok, Ok, just finish them off with plasma torpedoes then. Sheesh!

[Star Destroyer lasts all of 30 seconds under the barrage of plasma torpedoes]



The moral of the story? It might seem like alot of fun to mix Star Trek with Star Wars, but at the end of the day... Romulans always kick ass!

Egad, the young man actually believes that felgercarb. [:D]
<sigh> One blast from a Star Destroyer's ion cannon, and the Romulan's shields, its cloaking device, plasma banks, and disrupter batteries would all be singed mass of burned out circuits, and the poor ole Romulans would be crying in their Romulan Ale.
[&o] <== Romulans in proper supplication to the Imperial Star Destroyer.


And before I start a major war and Matrix shuts us down... I am talking trash. :)

[laughing out loud.]
[&o] <== to your come back. [:'(]

At least the empire uses toothbrushes. You do not have to worry about it on a Romulan ship. They never use toothbrushes; or take a bath. [You know, like Worf said, 'your ambush might work better if you bathed more often.']
How many Romulans does it take to use an electric toothbrush? 1 to use it, and 150 to blow the ship up in disgrace.


You know, I wonder how long we have gone without this SW versus ST argument.
Okay, I surrender now, because although I am an SW fan, I use ST ships for pirates and other races. They are cooler looking. That ought to soothe Romulan tempers. [:)]

Ok, we'll call an uneasy truce, but you should be aware Romulans are very hygienic, it's the Klingons who are the smelly ones.[;)]

Tonight my fellow Star Wars fans I will be releasing the ROTS version which will include fighters and bombers.

Once Elliot expands the mod support, (by the 25th he has mentioned) I will add two new Races to celebrate the release of ROTS.
