[IC] X-wing inspired keyset

[Elrick]

you are talking about events happened in movies that have never been filmed. At least if you use the force hard enough you can pretend they never happened.

When Darth Vader was presented, that individual sparked the flame for the SITH.  Hence you can't have one without the other.  The Sith became a realization later in the trilogy but the Empire had existed in the FIRST film which was Emperor Palpatine''s creation.  You have to give recognition to the Empire, without it the Star Wars Saga couldn't exist.

You're trying to make a key-set without giving due credit to the whole creation and maintenance of the story line without the Empire.  You need to present the regime and it's significance.  Without it - the Rebels wouldn't exist.  Don't make it a ONE line praise for a single side when there are two sides to this.

#### UPDATE:  When the book was originally released there was a passage describing the interior: Rebel blockade runner -- main hallway.  "The awesome, seven-foot-tall Dark Lord of the Sith makes his way into the blinding light of the main passageway."  The Sith has been mentioned..... enough said.

well, if you see this set as an x-wing "replica" there's no reason to have a sith logo. instead we could make a second GB for tie fighter (or something) which includes dark side iconography. If we want to build a general purpose star wars set, well in that case we could use a vast plethora of symbols.

Maybe the latter is more realistic.

Matt3o just taking the piss........no way put a Sith Logo on an X-Wing setup, that's like putting a Nazi Logo onto a Mustang or Spitfire plane.  Not right  . 

You should know by now what I'm like, you act as if I came into Geekhack yesterday, unannounced....... go figure  .

[Matt3o]

hold on...

why don't we just make 2 sets of symbols? 1) dark side 2) boring side

[justnits]

that is going to take more money out of us!

I'm with justnits, very happy to get either sets from Star Wars as long as the logos look authentic and real.  If you're going to copy then make sure they look exactly like the originals (ask SP if they could do that first).

Although I would still KILL for a Sith set...... just way too cool to ignore it.  Long live the Empire  .

[Matt3o]

actually I could put the sith logo in the ISO or NUMPAD kit (muwahahahahahhaha)

[justnits]

actually I could put the sith logo in the ISO or NUMPAD kit (muwahahahahahhaha)

so the numpad gets TIE fighter theme?

[Matt3o]

each set could get a custom key, but I doubt SP will agree on doing this...

Matt3o just taking the piss........no way put a Sith Logo on an X-Wing setup, that's like putting a Nazi Logo onto a Mustang or Spitfire plane.  Not right  . 

One aspect I really like about this concept is the focus of this set.  Like the Macross/VF-1s set, it's about one specific element, and taking the feel of that and translating into colors/scheme that can be recreated in keycaps.  I'm not opposed to having the Galactic Empire/Sith logo in one of the add-ons... I'd totally buy an ISO kit just for that.  I guess I'm just saying keep the focus on the X-Wing feel.   If all goes well, then next year consider another matching/opposed set from the Empire... besides Ivan already has his Aurebesh/Darkside set going on until mid January...

On another note, I'd still be interested in this set even if it contained NO logos that SP could object to. 

Anyway, thanks Matt3o, I'm really looking forward to this, and the VF-1S...

But then there's some of us that aren't big fans of the black on black or want it in English.

yeah, don't worry, mine will be completely different.

[Jokrik]

[Hofy]

Any progress on this?  I am all in!  Option for 60% is the R2 and C3 for the number row?  Also make the main tkl board rebel and thenum pad Empire (Sith)?

[Jokrik]

Need updateeeeeesss

[LechnerDE]

Can I play as chewbacca??

[Elrick]

Can I play as chewbacca??

Then I'll be Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious), so cool to rule the universe dispensing my form of justice upon the "rebel scum"...... he he he  .

[Matt3o]

use the force for a facial lift then!

[stoic-lemon]

The most recent mockup is really really nice. I'm in for this.

[Jokrik]

Any news to make this happen?

[Matt3o]

it seems we will move the "macross" and "midnight" sets first.

[ideus]

All are awesome! 

[Elrick]

it seems we will move the "macross" and "midnight" sets first.

Dare I say it, with all these M's being passed around I wonder if it would be better to just rename them as "Macross" - Matt3o 1 and "Midnight" - Matt3o 2 and be done with it  .

[ApocalypseMaow]

I got a warning about nerco-bumping this.
Don't care, this set neeeds to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, dude.  You're totally uncool for bumping this old thread.  It tried to warn you.  But you didn't listen.  And now you have to sit alone at lunch.

You have to congratulate him for trying to keep this Key-set design in our minds for the longest time.

It's up to Matt3o if he will consider finishing it off for the rest of us to enjoy.  OF course let me put in my request for having this latest key-set done all in SA Profile to mimic the control boards within the X-Wing fighter  .

We need to keep the interest going on this for all the fanatics out there.

[justnits]

that necrobump cause a disturbance in the force of my wallet

[DanielT]

@Elrick: there are enough SA sets, we need a break with a pinch of DSA  I know you love SA, but think at your wallet 

[Matt3o]

this set done it must.

[Elrick]

@Elrick: there are enough SA sets, we need a break with a pinch of DSA  I know you love SA, but think at your wallet 

I don't mind DSA if it's done right.  But I already have lots of DSA's in my possession but I do indeed need more SA profiles because they're just to beautiful to ignore.

Don't worry about my wallet, she's a tried and true old girl that knows how to perform with any type of purchase.  Like an old porn star she just loves getting gangbanged constantly with numerous Group Buys  .

I think this X-Wing key-set could be quite unique when Matt3o lends his particular design style to it........

This is priceless  ) 

[Heliosphere]

I'm down with this. Would be interesting to see Aurebesh as well if custom legends won't be too costly.

[ApocalypseMaow]

If this moves to SA profile, I'm still down! The SA Row3 would be legit.

I think I'm a sucker for uniform profile...

[Matt3o]

this has always been SA, but we didn't get a lot of love...

[chrisq]

this has always been SA, but we didn't get a lot of love...

Old school sci-fi needs old school profile, Galaxy set was only tolerated in dsa since the Star Trek screens were flat 

I'd buy this in SA.
How about uniform R3 like Nuclear set (sorry if already mentioned before)?

[nathairtras]

Only have one problem with it.  It isn't using Aurebesh for the legends.  If it did...I would buy it regardless of the profile, the material, etc.  I might even buy it if the keycaps were made out of cardboard...

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aurebesh

[iamtootallforthis]

Matt3o you're killing me with all these awesome sets. You're murdering my wallet

[Elrick]

this has always been SA, but we didn't get a lot of love...

You want LOVE, then be prepared to drown in a swimming pool of it.  THIS key-set should happen in an SA profile using those colours and you'll have half of Geekhack creaming themselves for it.

You know you want to do this Matt, giving us our deepest desires concerning the X-Wing  .

[Matt3o]

I believe SA Retro takes the precedence.

[ConscienceDrop]

I'm not even really a starwars fan, but the simple utilitarian beauty of those colors cant be denied! 

That red number row in SArow1 profile would look sexy as hell.

You better get to start loving the Star Wars series because this set reigns supreme for all the fans out there.  An X-Wing is just too good to pass up here, but then again being an SA-ho means I'll take anything coming out of PMK which has this Golden Profile  .

Yes, please do.

Keeping the topic warm for you Matt30, make it happen  :D

Yes. I second your necro bump second of my request to take my money.
