Lol. Yeah, like four times now. But even the EU before Endor can be redundant. Some of the stories are exceptional and unique, such as Revan or Bane's stories, but the new TOR video game seems just like a cross between KotOR, the original trilogy, and TFU.

Yeah, it strikes me the same way. Does it have a plot? Or is it just a MMO, like Galaxies?

I'm not exactly sure (it hasn't been released yet), but it looks very similar to the aforementioned games/movies. It looks really good though.

I hope so.

Yeah. Do you plan on getting it?

Not at this point. I'm modelling my own 1/2256 scale Imperial Strike Fleet.

Really? Now that's a project. What exactly are you doing for that?

Two Venators, one in red Republic colors (it hasn't been repainted yet...) one in Imperial white, and an Imperial-II Class Star Destroyer, in Imperial white. I may add some frigates, too, like three or four Dreadnaughts, or something along those lines.
I currently have one Venator completed (the Republic colors one). The paintjob on the next one should be easier...those stripes on the tail are a nightmare.

Cool. I'd love to see photos of those when you finish. I have little patience or dexterity for subtle paint-jobs, so I really appreciate others' work. I know how frustrating it can be.

Lol. I got paints that I can scratch off with a fingernail, so touchup is easy. I'll post pics when I finish.
Any recommendations on the frigates? Should I get Dreadnaughts? Maybe even Victory IIs? Those little anti-fighter things from EAW? Or just the two Venators and the Imperial II?

Some little frigates would be interesting. Those anti-fighter things could be tough to design, though, because they look like a dozen other ships. How big are the dreadnaughts?

Here's a comparison pic:  I have a Venator finished. The Acclamator is off the ISD's port bow, and the Dreadnaught is off to starboard. |

Wow. The Venator looks really nice. That ISD will take a long time to paint. The Dreadnaught looks like the one from Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy. Don't those have very simple paint jobs?

My Venator actually looks better than that - less toylike. I'll post pics if you like, but I was planning on waiting until I finished the fleet before posting anything.
I'm not sure how the Dreadnaught is painted. To the Wook! *theme music plays*

Okay. I look forward to seeing the finished fleet.
Lol. I think it's just a pretty generic black or grey colour scheme, but I'm not entirely sure. Did the Wook give you an answer?
