Tadshackles Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) For some reason it REALLY bothers me that both factions literally have the exact same fleet. literally the same map. I know I know it isn't a huge deal but if you look at a Rep frigate vs an imp. Think about if Stormwind and Orgrimmar had the same exact same models and maps except different banners... I know its nit-picking and it doesn't matter much but when I switch toons I don't feel like I switched. Maybe nobody else notices it but for me, it kinda makes me never want to go to the fleet as I forget what faction im playing...

But if both fleets were different, you would have one side saying, "Waaaah!!!! Side XXX's fleet is better, no fair!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanzen Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm convinced this is a major reason people feel ambivalent about SWTOR. For all they put into some aspects of immersion, others like this are just so lazy and uninspired. Example: Why did they build a 25 square mile Alderaan that people see for 4 levels and takes eight years to load, but rubber stamped the space dock that is the center of everyone's online lives? Totally baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyrab Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'll have to agree with this. I only played a smuggler and once I hit 50, I excitedly rolled some Imp alts and...oh, it's the same fleet, just different colors. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal...but, it's little aesthetics like this that can go a long way in making or breaking a game. Oh, and a different UI color for Imps would be nice...red might be a bit glaring, but maybe something besides the exact same shade of blue?

pursang Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 They're not exact duplicates - they have quite a few (small) differences. I understand were you're coming from though. My main nitpick is that every spaceport I've been in looks to be the exact same as every other spaceport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatB Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 To be fair, this is a civil war of sorts. Both stations could have been made by the same civilian company, so it doesn't really bother me much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, did you know Russia has a space shuttle exactly like NASA's. I mean 100% identical- if it wasn't for the Russian writing on the side you wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

Riotus Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Would u guys have prefered to wait a few more months to launch so they had time to make fleets and spaceports look diffrent? I know i could care less, i just wanna play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palenen Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 This is because there is one lone architect in the galaxy that the Empire and Republic go to when they want something made. You can see this design with the Starports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qoojo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I actually liked that I didn't have to learn a new layout. The textures are different. So it's not like they completely cut and pasted the thing. I suggest finding something smaller to nitpick about. This is a funny thread if the OP is truly upset over it.

eadnams Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Didn't the empire capture/take a lot of what they have in republic space? If so, then that would explain it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimgrey Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Every space station in the game (including the ones you attack or defend in space missions) uses the same model, so it's not surprising they're laid out similarly on the inside. I'm guessing they're mass-produced by the Hutts or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotipe Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) This is one reason I'm not as enthusiastic as before lv.20 something. And it's not just the fleets, the space stations (And their mere existence on top of that), the space docks also. While it's understandable with the modelling, there are just one fleet. I'd hope those were abit different. Edited February 8, 2012 by Gotipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zandadoum Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 i love it when on some class quests you have to go to a new marker on your galaxy map that shows up as station icon but when you close in, it's a giant ****** destroyer why the need of stations? aren't the command ships big enough already?
