Yes yes... the republic always used crappy looking rebel ships, but then Palpatine came, who In addition to being a Sith lord, a politician and a master puppeteer, was also apparently a ship engineer and a fashion designer, who then secretly shoved 3 thousand year old sith empire's designs into republic factories...

Well that's one of the stories guys like you say... or are you gonna tell me a more believable tale?
No? Well then I still believe that BioWare swapped the visual look of factions just to cater to original trilogy lovers and / or prequel haters. Because that is more profitable.

Yes, the reason is that most of the regular people out there won't think about it in the chronological way you do. They know the look of these two factions from the movies. You give them that or you risk they will be confused or won't like your product. Since they want to sell mass Star Wars game, they have to make it look the way people expect from SW. I'm not saying I like it, that's just how things are.

Well at least you didn't try to come up with some crazy tale to justify this, like some people do. Guess I shouldn't complain and just be happy that

not even that if you look at useful production, much of it was wasted. Britain's fighter and bomber production outstripped German overall and almost every month throughout the battle of Britain.

Clearly I have, twice. The Silencer was fitted into a ship a LOT larger than a frigate. Get a clue.

The reason all these triangle style ships were part of the empire in the movies, was because the empire was a reformed republic. So naturally a lot of republic styles and design carried over.

I just can't understand why they felt the need to make the sith empire look like galactic empire and the galactic republic look like rebels...They could have just given the sith empire a new unique design and kept the republic looking as it should. Oh well, at least our troopers look like they should.

No wonder a lot of people refer to republic as the rebels in swtor...
Prolly because new players would be confused that the Republic looked like the Empire and then think that the Empire was really the Old Republic morphed into the Empire and accuse Bioware of ripping off the main trilogy story.

Because people really are THAT stupid.

Ye. That makes me a little bit disappointed. Lets hope this doesn't rub off into the new movies.
