Star Wars Insurrection

[kobayashi]

Talked a bit about my latest work in other threads (ZWK2.0 and Dominon War Crash) but I guess its time the scenario had its own thread.

SCREEN CAPTURE

Kobayashi, those pictures don't seem to be working - all I see is that damn red X

[H Tower]

They seem to be working now. The scenario is looking great!

And for good measure, here is an example of an event.

Time frame?

is your scenario going to cover the entire star wars trilogy (phantom menace sucked so it doesn't count), just one of the movies or will it involve the all the books written too? i'm hoping some creator ou there will finally add events that not only come from the movies but from the books too.

[kobayashi]

The scenario starts about 2 years before A New Hope but doesn't follow the triology timeline exactly.

To be honest, I'm more a Trek fan and I have read over 100 Trek novels and not a single Star Wars novel. But I've done extensive research on the internet and got most of my info from

1. The Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia ver 2.04

http://www1.theforce.net/CUSWE/

2. The Star Wars Planet Guide ver 2.5

http://www.jimfisher.net/planet/source.htm

3. Galactic Empire Data Bank

http://www.galacticempiredatabank.com/

4. The Star Wars Technical Commentry

http://www.theforce.net/swtc/

plus the Star Wars Rebellion game.

Things that come to mind from the books and non-movie sources are:

Dozens of planet names
Prince Xizor and the Black Sun Syndicate
Corporate Sector Authority and Epos
Admiral Zaarin
Centerpoint Station
YuuzhanVong
Eclipse Battleship
Byss and the Deep Core
Valley of the Sith Lords
TIE Defender
TIE Phantom....etc


Half the wonders like:

Calamarian Knowledge Bank
Corellian Merchant Guild
Catalogue of Intelligent Life
Shadow Academy
Ace of Sabres Casino
Kuat Yard Drives...etc.


Some of the trade goods like:

Dragon Pearls
Illumination Fabric,
Glitterstim,
Cortheum,
Bacta,
Durindfire Spice....etc

There are some Phantom Menace units (like naboo fighter) in the early stage but thats about all.

Another Kobayashi Space scen. This should write off a couple or three days off.

The pictures look great, but I'm not a fan of flippant messages

When are you releasing it? If you need a playtester, I'd be happy to give it a bash.

[kobayashi]

We are already at the last round of testing so you can sit back and wait for the release version. If you really want to play it now I'll send you the current beta (which shouldn't be too different from the release version) but you'll need a mailbox which can hold 3 Megabytes.

With respect to the flippant messages, don't worry, the Han Solo one is the only set that's like this - to inject a little humor. I usually have one tucked into every scenario. It wouldn't sit well if the entire scenario was like that.

UNITS

[Tallincourt]

Looks good. I'm really lookin for this scenario The only thing I don't like from what I've seen is the Executor. It just doesn't look right for a Super Star Destroyer...

[H Tower]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I want to play now! I love the units, and if the scenario's anything near as good as your star trek one, its going to be awesome! when can those mortal souls who missed the tremor in force about playtesting get their hands on the final release?

I don't think my mailbox will handle that, so I'll just have to wait for the release. Any idea when that will be?

Sounds reasonable.

Can you be more specific about the executor (like the front partshould be longer etc.). It is often viewed from the front or side and appears very slim from those angles but as far as I know, thats approximately what it looks like from this angle. I'm going to adjust it so that it looks more diamond shaped and less arrow shaped.

As for the timing of the release - I am mostly constrained by the pace at which my testers are playing. I estimate about two weeks.
