Actually, the real advantage of the Nebulon-B series was something that you can't notice unless you look at the stats. Before the Neb-B, the main Imperial ships-of-the-line were VSDs, ISDs, and the occasional carrier or galleon left over from the Ol...  [Read More]

Fave scene in any of the SW movies. . . I'd have to go with the big three-fold battle royale in Jedi. It just had this awesome sense of finality; decades of struggle, effort, and heroism were all coming to a head. It was Epic storytelling at its best...  [Read More]

Out of Context: The original trilogy was filmed in England, so most of the extras (and even many of the leads) ended up with that (set of) accent(s). In Context: Different parts of the galaxy have different accents; Corellians don't talk the same wa...  [Read More]

I'm waiting for the Adi Gallia joke. Adi is the one who has that jellyfish-like thing on her head. Most moviegoers assume she's some exotic alien. Joke is, her "official" bio says she's actually Corellian. She's not an alien; she's a hum...  [Read More]

The Empire trilogy? You mean the comics? Dark Empire, Dark Empire II, and Empire's End? I wouldn't mind seeing those turned into movies (or at least a novel series), if only to retcon them with half-decent writing. EE especially was just bad. http...  [Read More]

Well, if you only want them temporarily, then rename them to replace an opt. Then just play normally. Frex, rename missileboat.opt into missileboat 1.opt, and rename Bob.opt into missileboat.opt. Then start a skirmish and select the missile boat. Be...  [Read More]

IIRC, the Mod Strike and the Starviper are ships that are "included," but TG never managed to complete the opts for them. You can find user-made opts (like the one mentioned), but the TG versions never shipped with the game. That's why you...  [Read More]
