Star Destroyers are SMALL (600m). They could put some in many places.
The only ones that should need a special zone to fit are superstardestroyer which are like 12km long.
Victory-class Star Destroyers (the old ones used by the republic) was 900m long, the Imperial-class Star Destroyers (in the old movies) are 1.600m long, not 600m. The Super-class Star Destroyers (Vaders)are 8.000m long.

My thoughts exactly!
Maybe they are on the other side of the planet

I agree that a large fleet of imps should hyper in from time to time on a random schedule. Block any rebel ships from leaving the sector until time runs out or the alliance takes it down. Naturally you could run and try to hyper out but chances are a lone x-wing would last 4 seconds. So you would need to be smuggled maybe to a safe zone. By the way can you link up with the rebel fleet? That would be cool.

Its just obvious to me that when I finally got into space I uncovered the insideous plot of the emperor to keep us in our place with holographic projections of Star Destroyers filling out night skys. Keeping the fear of the Empire on our minds constantly.

There only in deep space.. To get there you need to be a mater pilot and have 30K of prestige points..
What are prestige points? Something you automaticly get when you master, or is it like seperate xp you have to gain, after you attain master?
When you reach master you stop getting ordinary pilot XP and get Prestige instead.

the coolest thing i can imagine is to attack a star destroyer with a fleet of rebels.
would be one of the laggiest but def coolest space fights ever.
only thing missing would be voicechat like teamspeak.
capitolships should be controlable depending on faction rank.
of course only restricted use.

I agree.. if they are in the Naboo sky from the ground, we should be able to see em in space.
That's not Star Wars continuity, but in-game continuity, and it should be respected.
The biggest problem with placing them in the other space zones are their immense size, there's just not room for them right now. That and the fact that it would pulverize any Rebel pilots starting their adventure in Naboo.
So does this mean space is too small for Star Destroyers ?

Its funny how BF1942 can codea multiplayer game to have two GIANT aircraft carriers in the same short distance with 6 planes buzzing overhead while two subs enagage each other as the destroyers hunt them while infintry kills each other on deck and speeds away in boats....with.... drumroll.... Nolag...
Borrow the EA database and enginefor the weekend, see if it helps.
I love great graphics, but when they come at the expense of gameplay you can keep them.
SWG needs to be on the quake engine.

Well, Quake engine would only create more graphics lag for the people with lesser systems, and the EA database would freeze up under the strain of all the complex data the SWG database has. There is nothing like the ammount of item variety SWG hasin BF1942. It has a MUCH simpler datasystem to take care of.

all you have to do is put themasnot even real items, like the planets, they are not real but we can see them. Just change the planet image so we have star destroyers in the pic.

Thanks for stating the obvious.
I was being sarcastic, but not really. You mean there are other weapons in the game other than Geo Pistols, VKs, T21s and power hammers? I didnt know...
also being sarcastic just in case you were going to respond
