Ebon Hawk or New Ship. Installation! - Page 6

Aside from the main ship, other, much smaller vehicles like those speeders used by the Clone/Stormtroopers should also be included when it comes to travelling on the surface of a planet. Might make travelling from one place to another much quicker.

in terms of the poll, i voted for a new ship. however, i think it'd be awesome for an Ebon Hawk style. i liked it, but getting the ship in the third game might be confusing to figure out. in truth, i don't even understand how it was lost from the first to the second games yet

as Wyran said on page 1, having 2 floors to the ship would be pretty cool, however i find it a bit of work running around to talk to the characters as it is. maybe move the cargo hold down to the second floor, and the old cargo hold is for the "game room" where one might play Pazaak or play a swoop simulation game to improve on swoop skills (speaking of which, i hope it's K1 style racing. K2 blew chunks. i also hope this time you actually can upgrade your damn swoop bike. the first time i played K1, there was mention of upgrading swoop bikes, and i was wondering "how the hell do i upgrade it?!". i'm not joking. i'm still wondering if you can upgrade and just don't know how or if it's just useless talk in game).

going back to the cargo hold, i think there should be a real reason for all those containers. therefore, there should be a limit to how much you can carry around. i mean seriously, how can one put so many guns, swords, lightsabers, energy shields, grenades, stims, armour outfits, robes, cards, and other junk on themselves and look as unloaded as they did in K1 and K2?

k, back to the ship. if there's going to be more ship-blasting like in K1, there should be 1 or 2 more turrets with other members of your party occupying them to shoot at turrets. possibly switch to a droid like T3-M4 and you just move around the ship repairing where the ship gets shot. he'll be magnetized to the ship, so it's realistic if he gets shot and KO'd and doesn't fly away in space, but shows up later on the ship.

k, those are my thoughts for now.

I would Make more guns like 2 more guns to fight off the ships that attack you make them laser guns and you can switch to them just like you do party members

Some good points there Darth Valthri, while i agree with the fact that the storage in the cargo hold should actually be used, i'm not sure having a limit on the amount you carry would be a good idea either. While it would give more realistic game play having to go back to my ship to pick up all tht extra armour i want to flog to the merchants doesn't appeal to me, because i'd just get frustrated with it.

As for the turrets, being in control of several different ones would be good and i'd like to see the turrets on the Hawk or whatever the ship is used more often. Howver i don't think they should be used like in KOTOR I where in between every other planet it was " Oh no, ambushed by Sith fighters.... again" as the novelty wore off after a couple of times, so i would like a real reason to man the guns i.e. helping out with the space battle above as your party characters while your main character dispatches the Dark Lord him/herself on the planet below ?

I think possibly being able to choose your type of ship depending on your character type. So someone with good stealth attributes maybe having a smaller ship, whereas someone who leans more towards brute strength could have a larger more battlecruiser style ship.

I think a ship should be taken out of it. Remember Kreia said Revan would need Jedi and Sith to help him in the unknown reigons to fight the true sith empire. She said Revan left his companions and his ship behind because he wouldn't need them. So the ship needs to be taken out completely.

then would you care to explain how Revan (and K3's group, for that matter) got to the unknown regions in the first place? and no, this ship doesn't NEED to be taken out. you're not going to be going to only 1 or 2 places, not if the producers have any brains

Ebon Hawk, slightly, but I'd want it more customizable (add rooms, add interactable objects, etc.)

DarthSpiden · #84 (**permalink**) 08-10-2007, 10:07 AM

i think at first you should get the ebon hawk, but after a long journey to your first planet or something it crashes, and you have to find a new ship. that is where you can buy the new ship, that is where it comes in. It could be called anything, like black hawk, or the silver zephyr( reference KOTOR 2) or anything, but it is only one ship, you cant choose, it is the only option. If you had options for ships, it would take up so much memory, every video to a different planet would have to change to a different ship, and it would be bad.

agreed, but it still would be nice to have the choice, right? memory and vids aside, of course

If you are not going to use the Ebon Hawk you should have choice. I don't want to have a ship forced on me unless it's the Ebon Hawk, since it's alomst a symbol for the game.

I reckon you should start off with the ebon hawk, and as you processed in the game and reach a certain point you are able to buy mods for your ships or buy/ design a new ship, through building a new ship should be extremely expensive.

You should have more controls over the systems in your ships, such as the turbo lift in the ebon hawk, ( in KOTOR 2 you can use the lift in the first mission, but after that you cant), (and also in KOTOR 2 you can open doors inside the ship in one level), you should be able to open and close doors on your own ships at any time.
This is a little extra which would be properly impossible, you should be able to do a pilot training course, and then be able to fly your own ship.

I think it would be cool if you could have your droids work on your ship

T3 already does in K2, though nothing is really repaired...

This is a good idea. Will give the player a challenge before being able to fly the ship. By the way, if GTA: San Andreas can do this, I don't see how this is impossible to implement in KOTOR 3.

Let's just say he's doing his maintenance rounds.

Anyway, I would like it if your team members move around the ship (interacting, doing their stuff) instead of just standing like scarecrows doing nothing.
