SE4 Movies
 

This is about those movies that fit perfectly in the SE4 universe.

1- The Impostor. We get here a beautiful (and shielded) Homeworld, spies with nukes, counter-intelligence proyects level 3, "police troops", a war with an alien race, small colonies being glassed, and an anti-planet drone being built. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

2- Starship Troopers. We get Infantry units, a meteorite strike random event, an intelligent insect hive with organic technology, an starbase, invaded colonies, glassed colonies, and weapon platforms with organic weapons. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

3- Independence Day. We get a neutral being glassed with a ripper beam, shielded carriers, shielded fighters, a captured ship retrofited with capital ship missile level 1, and the neutrals have tiny fighters that are capable of taking out a carrier.

4- Enemy mine. Very old movie with an starbase, mining colony and a reptile alien race.

5- Wing Commander. Carriers, Destroyers, Small, Medium and Large fighters, torpedos, Tachyon sensors, Boarding parties, and even warp points.

6- The 5th Element. Cultural centers, Starliners, etc.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well... technically they retrofitted a fighter, which we all know is imposible http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
To properly match that film to se4 we'd need the much-requested "volatile component" ability for those carriers.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, fantastic film this, I really loved it. Great make up on that lizard guy too.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I want this as a shipset. Such a cool film.

mmm... Leeloo... *drools*

Don't forget "The Last Starfighter".

Re: SE4 Movies
 

I'll agree with most of those. I've never heard of a sci-fi movie called Imposter though. Maybe a foreign film? But I think the most obvious movie that wasn't mentioned was Star Wars. You know, large imperial fleets crushing small rebel fleets/planets. Star Trek wasn't mentioned either, but forcibly taking planets and getting into interstellar wars was never the Federation way (nor Roddenberry's vision of the future). There are probably other movies that could fit into the SEIV universe, but I can't think of any right now.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey, long time no see. Glad to have you back. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The Impostor is a 2002 B-movie with Gary Senise and Madeleine Stowe. They were playing it in one of the movie channels.
The story is in the second half of this century, and first contact was with a race that we call the Centaury because first contact was in Alpha Centaury. They are "genetically superior" (genetic manipulation?) to us, and they don't want to negotiate, they want Earth.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Earth is covered with a shield to protect from the frecuent Centaury bombing raids, and there are frecuent engagement between Earth fighters and Centauries. We have colonies in Alpha Centaury, and one of them got glassed, so our Chancellor vowed revenge. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
The Centaury then send one of their new "cyborg clones" that carry inside its heart the new secret Centaury U-Bomb to atent to kill the Chancellor, and Earth's counter-intelligence have to stop him.

I think this movie is a perfect SE4 movie. It fits like a glove. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Are there any other movies that I should add to my "SE4 collection"?

Oh yeah, it was about some video game use to train fighters pilots.
Something like a Ship Training Facility. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It should be avaliable in DVD, I suppose.

Re: SE4 Movies
 

Not a movie, but TV series:

Andromeda:

Transit Via Slipstream: Portals that link multiple star systems (not exactly warppoints, but damn close)

Anti Proton cannons, Missiles, Point Defense, Lack of newtonian movement, Fighters, Drones, planetary bases, weapons platforms, racial bonuses, point singularity weapons (null space cannons) Stellar manipulations, ships that don't wear down over time, AI's, troops/vehicles, and more!

Ever get the feeling the writers/producers of Andromeda are SEIV fans?

Re: SE4 Movies
 

I think I've seen it in the guide, but I never checked out cause I thought it was a series about that old movie of the same name.
