Halofax Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Ok, this is my thread. The Empire fleet is freaking gorgeous. There are NPCs walking around, theres a large rotating dias in the middle with shelves that glisten and shimmer, the different areas filled with flags, and talking sith lords. Troopers guard the vendors and giant assault droids guard the trainers. Hell, there are even holographic trees. The Republic fleet looks like a garage. It is brown and filled with what appears to be Minority Report themed lipstick ads. The middle is a large brown tower with a facial ad on it, with poorly modeled tents surrounding it, none of which are actually over anything. There are booths with no npcs in them, and 2-3 small Twi-lek holograms being watched by an npc or two, none of which move or talk. The cantina band is almost silent. The trainer compartments and GTN and dead. Empty, the npcs are all stationary, the lights and railings are again, brown. Brown and yellow lights are everywhere. Then right in the middle of it all there is a small glimmer of hope, a pond like ecosystem. Bioware you obviously didnt have time to finish the republic fleet. Please, in 1.2 add some life and color to the Republic center hub. Its astounding to me that my empire character gets his quests and visits the GTN in disneyworld, and my Republic 50 accepts his quests from a Southwest Airlines hanger. Please Bioware, you're my only hope. 1.) The Republic Fleet Center - 2 Cargo Holds http://i.imgur.com/UZDyG.jpg 1.) The Empire Fleet Center Rotating dias - 4 cargo holds http://i.imgur.com/dBt4o.jpg http://i.imgur.com/urjv4.jpg --- 4 spread out cargo holds 2.) Republic Brown poorly modeled tents http://i.imgur.com/F0uxy.jpg 2.) Empire Cantina http://i.imgur.com/C1EQh.jpg 3.) Huge, empty Republic Hallways http://i.imgur.com/8cBEh.jpg 3.) Empire Hallway http://i.imgur.com/vmWf5.jpg And Finally, the one saving grace to the Republic Fleet. Our Super Awesome Fountain. http://i.imgur.com/dTFMK.jpg So now, it is fairly obvious the Republic Fleet is either an unfinished area, or was MEANT to look like a homeless shelter. Please Bioware, devote the time to our faction, and the imbalance might not be so bad. Before Anyone comments on it, I left my UI on to show the Republic and Empire Fleet player numbers.

MackumDog Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Problem is we are poor in the Republic, we spend our money on guns and stuff and care little about our tents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projester Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Wow, I like the Republic Fleet a lot better. I had no idea it was like that. I'm serious, I'm not trolling. It just looks like it is nowhere near as cluttered, and is easier to navigate. The whole point of the fleet to me is a place to go to vendors, pick up dailies, and get groups for FP's. It's not a place I want to hang out all day because of aesthetic reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a place I want to hang out all day because of aesthetic reasons If you look at the two hallways, they are the exact same floor model, except ours is poo brown and theirs has trees and droids. Explain to me why Bioware would conciously decide to make their fleet more detailed? Because Bioware likes the Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xalexinchainsx Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I happen to like the republic fleet. The republic cares more about the people rather than spending money on fancy buildings and cantinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halofax Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Problem is we are poor in the Republic, we spend our money on guns and stuff and care little about our tents This makes sense, because we were invaded and had coruscant sacked, but it doesnt explain the lack of npcs and animation.

Projester Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 All the random droids and trees and stuff do make it more cluttered, whether you want to believe it or not, especially combined with the sheer amount of Empire players (on my server fleet is usually near 300 or more) It's not a fun place to look at. It's a get what I came for and get the hell out kind of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thekze Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This is the best thread i've read here today and it's one of the reason why I dropped playing republic. Let's be honest, the republic fleet look like utter garbage compared to the empire fleet. I just can't believe the ''ah, I like the republic one better''. Weird opinions but opinions nevertheless.

Halofax Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 It honestly looks like the art department ran out of time on the Republic fleet and submitted it to meet the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever had one of the Republic astromech droids come rolling up to you...carrying a tray of cocktails like you were on a Hutt's pleasure barge? Happened to me while at the GTN terminal, of all places.

Mannic Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The "super awesome fountain" looks like the Republic had a sudden pipe-leak, and just threw some plexiglass around it and left it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikeOfLight Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Given 5/5 stars. BIOWARE, WAKE UP AND MAKE REPUBLIC BETTER. Everyone and their dog feels like Bioware screwed over the Republic. Pay attention and fix it and all the other awful bugs or your game is NOT going to turn you profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTyranid Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 You should defect to the empire. I am hoping enough people do it so Republic as PC's is entirely wiped out. Then Bioware spends all their time and money developing Empire only content, and pvp focuses more on Sith inter-guild fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of our armor is lackluster. Meaning brown. Everything is brown. The artist for the Republic side must have been colorblind or something. It is terrible and everyone + their dog is getting really angry about the faction imbalance dealing with both playerbase and the lack-of-attention that Bioware paid to the Republic.

Greyfeld Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Have fun with no PVP... Don't you mean have fun with Huttball? Anyway, yeah, the first time I got to the fleet, I wondered if I'd accidentally gone to Hutta by mistake. Yellow and brown make things look dirty and sludgy.
