I've been wanting multiplayer capships for a while.  I think someone was working on something along those lines, but it's still a ways off.  Only time will tell

And something smaller? Like the YT-2000 in XWA, with a Pilot station and Gunner station, I mean.

And in other order of things, are you going to implement the turret control? ( As in XWA, you can order the turret(s) to fire to an specifically selected target, fire in a defensive mode or not fire at all, with just one button press ). FS2 only allows for IA controlled turrets that fire endlessly to the enemies ( not bad except when you are playing a mission with hostile factions controlled by other players, and trying to negociate  The only resource is to be faaaaaaar far away  )

Question.

Will there be Ewoks in SWC?

[TopAce]

Are you serious?

[Turey]

Maybe we need a TIE Interceptor cockpit with Lieutenant Kettch in it?

[StarSlayer]

Bleed and Die! Yub Yub

[Snail]

Okay I have a slightly more serious question...

Will Luke Skywanker Skywalker and the other main characters (like Chewbacca and Han Solo) be heavily involved, or only mentioned in briefings and debriefings?

[TopAce]

I would prefer them to be secondary, background characters.

I have a few suggestions but i hope that those are not too uncommon .

First: What`s about other organisations and fractions like the Hutt space, the Corporate sector, CorSec,Black Sun, the Mining Guild... and groups like mercenaries, pirates, smugglers, bounty hunters and so on? It would be nice to see more than the main conflict in the Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Rebellion. My suggestion is to play something different to have more possibilities. It`s one thing to be good (rebellion) and evil (empire) - what is to be between this positions? What's about to play a group of mercs for example and deal with different fractions - with different consequences? Would it be a more living universe????

Second: I don`t know - maybe this will fits better in canon and continuity, but the question was: What do you want this project to be? Now it will be a little bit complicated: I don't want to (re)play only missions from the movies, the books, the older games... Would it be fine to expend the sw-universe by ourselves (I think there will be always much space in the universe  ). Isn't it impossible to go a bit away from all the official released stuff? Isn`t it constricting? Have only GL and other authors, comic-strip and game artist the permission to develop the universe? My thought is: Let`s don`t be slavish to ourselves - let`s make our own thing. Let`s be creative!!! That`s include (for me) to be open for new ideas (storylines,ships, stations, characters ....) that although respect the canon of the remaining sw-universe.

I hope my post is not too heretical, so don't kill me

Ahm, I think the main release was going to be based off the original trilogy.... but the wonderful thing about FS2 is that FRED2 makes sure that as long as there's a capable campaign team, you can make whatever story you want.  If this mod gets finished with all the necessary ships etc, you will be able to create whatever you want... I'm hoping it'll be like the FreeSpace / FreeSpace2 campaigns are now with the SCP.. the main campaign is included, but you also have the option of installing other campaigns that are almost as good or as good as the main campaigns.

Will there "bosses", like Darth Vader or anything?

[maje]

I actually have some campaign ideas that deal with the actual formation of the Alliance to Restore the Republic from various rebel groups that first attempt to do their own thing and realize just how ineffective that is.  I'm really in favor of pushing an 'early days of the Rebellion' story because with the exception of X-wing and all its continuity discrepancies, the EU hasn't done much to explore that arena.  And I also am a BIG fan of the Corporate Sector Authority.  I've actually got to get a script in the works, but I think it'll be pretty good storywise.  And I have some ideas on how to implement the possibility of planetary bases like Echo Base and Yavin 4.

I don't want anything that directly contradicts canon. Expanding the universe with storylines such as the formation of the Alliance or the construction of the Death Star II are fine, but killing off a major character who we see die on screen (aboard a space station) is not ok.

[chief1983]

True, but you don't always have to win a boss fight.  It could be FREDed that you lose, or he gets away after X damage is dealt.

[TopAce]

That would be unfair to the player to force him to lose in a one v. one fight. Scripting the destruction of a corvette you must protect for your primary objective and exposing him to the risk of dying in a fight he can't win are two different things.

[chief1983]

I'm just saying, there are ways to involve a bad guy in a mission that don't involve you killing him.  Or maybe it's a dream/nightmare sequence.  Or a clone.  Who knows.  That's what writers get paid for.

[jr2]

I had also thought of the clone option... and, since the clone would be rapidly grown (I imagine), it would probably not be as good as the original.  I can't imagine Vader allowing himself to be cloned, though... although Sidious/Palpatine may have harvested some tissue when Vader was being put together in the end of Revenge of the Sith.

[TopAce]

Good idea, jr about Palpatine being given the chance to clone Vader while he was put together after Mustafar.

BtRL did it with Scar. You can't kill him, but he can sure kill you.

Howabout Gungans??   

[maje]

Gungans can be the contents of an Imperial Slave ship bound for the spice mines of Kessel, awaiting to be smashed into who knows what.
