Questions about the Venators

Has anyone actually been able to play as a ventar? I've seen them in demo mods but not in the full version. I think that they were supposed to be a buildable class at the pirate shipyard, if you hold your cursor over the pirate shipyard, you'll see ventar as a buildable class.

Lead', can you post links pointing to the "
Demo mods" you've talked of, so that I could get a few more informations about star-ships called "
Ventar", please ?
Also, are you
really sure such a class exists in
Star Wars : Empire At War ? (Indeed,
Google hasn't provided me "major" details about it, so far...)
Thanks to you !...

Besides, just because the icon is in the Demo, it doesn't neccessarily mean that it is 100% playable in the final version - after all, didn't they also announce that most of the Demo and it's features probably wouldn't be the same as the Final version...?

But in that case, what's the point of removing stuffs - Included into
Star Wars : Empire At War Demo - out off this game's
full release, knowing
Petroglyph must have spent much time designing them ?...

well, since it needed modders to add it, it probably wasn't finished/balanced, so including it would have meant more work, which they might not have had time for. and im thinking he may mean the venator, cuz i've never heard of a ventar either.

That's equally what I thought
first,
nyax'... But do not forget that "
Venator-class" Star Destroyers weren't designed anymore by
Kuat Drive Yards before the
Galactic
Civil
War's breaking out...

He is definitely refering to the venator. I have played a bunch of mods, and there is no ventor. Gotta watch your spelling.

but they
were in the demo (mods)...there are a few "leftovers" from the clone wars, like the venator, acclamator, and v-wing. i'm not saying its necessarily accurate, just that's what the game includes. also, that may be the reason they aren't buildable

they're included as a bonus for modders, but weren't included in the actual game because they didn't fit the timeline/storyline.

uhhhhh...I can't spell well latley lol. I guess I should have checked my spelling first...thanks for clearing that up dreadlordnyax. Still, it would have been nice if it was in the full version.
I think a lot of star wars items are hard to spell though, you have to admit (ex. Kashyyyk)

Off-topic : Might I know if the
Star Wars : Empire At War mod mentioned
here is one of those you talked of in your first post,
Pilot' ?
PS : Also, "
Star Wars items " are not that "
hard to spell" once you've learnt using them as often as possible...

probably, I don't remember the exact one. About the spelling....well some items are hard, not a lot lol.

Why does the venator dispatch Y-wings and TIE bombers instead of dispatching V-wings. The V-wings are only dispatched by rebels in GC.

Off-topic : MandalorianGuard, are you completely sure that a question like the one you've inserted above was really worth a thread's "resurrecting" ?...

Ya I'm sure, because I'm tired of seeing my enemys deploying V-wings from venators while I'm stuck with TIE bombers and Y-wings. I get attacked by venators with V's in da hanger but, I can't even build them.

The V-Wings use the fire power of X-wings anyway if what i seen in the XML files i remember currectly. So really its just like spawning x-wings sept with a different model.
As for getting our ships spawning V-wings(Empire i take it) u just go to the XML files and files the Venator in UNIQUEUNITS.xml and change wut its spawns to v-wing_squadron i belevie or v_wing_squadron(y-wings use _ for soem reason most other fighters/squadrons use - )
