Seems odd, hyperspace is way faster than warp. From the outer rim to the center in a simple hop that appeared to just take an hour or so. How can there be an "outer rim" when everywhere is easily traveled too. Luke wasn't that lost, he was only 15 mins out of town.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TacticalGarand44: I think that 25,000 figure is only referenced once, in the first Hand of Thrawn novel.

And that was involving Centerpoint Station too, where the Hapans lost 2/3rds of their Battle Dragons and support ships since they were in the line of fire. And that was maybe, maybe a couple thousand capital ships altogether thrown in since they had other sectors to defend against the Vong and their Peace Brigade collaborating allies. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Miami_JBT: The Imps had Carrack Class Light Cruisers for far out locations. They carried typical two to three TIE Figthers and did routine sector patrols for smugglers and pirates. If they got into a tussle, they'd call for a Victory Class or an Imperial MkII for help.

Wedge’s “pocket carrier” that he built out of a corvette is exactly the kind of ship you should have patrolling outlying systems. I think it carried 9 X wings and 2 TIEs, though the X wings couldn’t be launched quickly. So keep a pair of them out of space as a permanent rotating CAP. Well, Combat Space Patrol would be a better description. Upgrade the pair of TIEs to Interceptors or even Defenders. Perfect deep space force projection ship. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Miami_JBT: Yeah, it was 25k total built and spread throughout the galaxy. They couldn't marshal 25k at one time. And the Dark Force was a fleet pre-Clone Wars era Dreadnoughts and that was a threat because that was a fleet of combat ships that Thrawn could throw into one battle. The problem that both the Empire and New Republic had was that their control of space was massive and they couldn't pull resources from one end to defend another. That'd leave it vulnerable. So, you had much smaller sector fleets made up of a first rate capital ship with a bunch of second string bench warmers as the backup. The largest fleets assembled in the original EU were some of the massive battles during the Vong Invasion and a lot of that was combined fleets from the New Republic, the Imperial Remnant, and the Hapes Consortium throwing everything together to fight off a Vong Worldship or two. And that was involving Centerpoint Station too, where the Hapans lost 2/3rds of their Battle Dragons and support ships since they were in the line of fire.

I guess everyone else got killed in the purge. I think the whole helmet thing is leading up to a big reveal of who the armorer is, she's kept her helmet on since the purge to hide her identity and the time for hiding is about over.

I'm reading Star Wars: Millennium Falcon right now. The last original EU printed novel. It is set after the death of Jacen and there is a segment where Leia has a monolog to herself about how Jaina killed him and how she as a mother feels destroyed. All while Han internalizes the pain in a way of "well, he died a while back. Jaina just put him out of his misery." And Leia is guilt struck because her worst fear was her kids becoming like their Grandfather. Kylo Ren is a fucking horrible character. I hate that they named him Ben. No Mara Jade, no fight to the death between Jacen and Mara. No Boba Fett training Jaina since even Luke said he can't beat Jacen. But Boba knows how to fight dirty and kill Jedi. Damn Disney! |

On Mandalorian:
I suspect the mandos that caught up with Moff Gideon are Axe Wolves, Koska Reeves and some other rando mandos on the Imperial cruiser. Or it could be a new faction we haven't seen yet (I'm hoping for the 2nd option here). The show was fun, but travel from mid rim to Courasant should not be that fast IN AN X-WING. It was awesome to see Zeb in live action. On Bad Batch: That was some good Star Wars. The animation was so good, it some scenes it was almost as good as live action (especially the night scene around Syd's base. Reminded me of the planet in Kenobi where Reva chases him across the roofs. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Miami_JBT: Pirates would tug a large asteroid into a known hyperspace lane to cause a mass shadow and have ships drop into real-space due to the safety-overrides. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mass_shadow/Legends Also, most people were dirt poor Having a ship meant you were doing good. The whole mass-ship mass-shadow forces drop thing is soooo annoying to anyone with any engineering skill. Let's see if we can get this straight. No shot at you poster. Rule #1 - you can't jump into hyperspace unless you KNOW the jump is clear end to end. Fair enough, if you are registered as a legit trader/transport and there are INSURANCE requirements on your naviputer. But if you are an insane pirate you should be able to tell the hyperdrive exactly which vector to use and exactly how far to jump. Couple that with a lot of puter-power and minor defensive jumps are a simple thing. Pop-pop-pop-rope-a-dope-buh-bye! Rule #2 - you can't stay in hyperspace if someone drags a rock into your path or can pretend they have. This one is total bullshit. If you can't HKV...you can't be HKV'd. There IS NO ROCK IN YOUR WAY! The whole "It's close enough to 'force' you out of hyper" is crap. If anything on your ship can detect this upcoming 'problem' then the anything can abort the original plot without dropping from hyper and adjust plot to suit. It's as simple as mashing the +5 degrees button on a sailboat autopilot because you see another sailboat in your path. Or at a minimum you should be able to override the safeties and take your chances. I had a ship that dropped chaff like Luthen's and threw HKV missiles into the maw of any imp trying to tractor it back in 1988, while simultaneously plotting a short hop. It will piss a lot of folks here off, but I wept and cried aloud at the Holdo maneuver...not because it fit the story, but because it was my universe all those years ago...and I was glad to see it...finally. I miss the game. I *LOVED* the years I spent battling the best DM ever over these issues. I miss you Tom. |

2/3 of the posts in the last page are serious supernerd discussions and the other 1/3 is hornyposting.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stimpsonjcat: The whole mass-ship mass-shadow forces drop thing is soooo annoying to anyone with any engineering skill. Let's see if we can get this straight. No shot at you poster. Rule #1 - you can't jump into hyperspace unless you KNOW the jump is clear end to end. Fair enough, if you are registered as a legit trader/transport and there are INSURANCE requirements on your naviputer. But if you are an insane pirate you should be able to tell the hyperdrive exactly which vector to use and exactly how far to jump. Couple that with a lot of puter-power and minor defensive jumps are a simple thing. Pop-pop-pop-rope-a-dope-buh-bye! Rule #2 - you can't stay in hyperspace if someone drags a rock into your path or can pretend they have. This one is total bullshit. If you can't HKV...you can't be HKV'd. There IS NO ROCK IN YOUR WAY! The whole "It's close enough to 'force' you out of hyper" is crap. If anything on your ship can detect this upcoming 'problem' then the anything can abort the original plot without dropping from hyper and adjust plot to suit. It's as simple as mashing the +5 degrees button on a sailboat autopilot because you see another sailboat in your path. Or at a minimum you should be able to override the safeties and take your chances. I had a ship that dropped chaff like Luthen's and threw HKV missiles into the maw of any imp trying to tractor it back in 1988, while simultaneously plotting a short hop. It will piss a lot of folks here off, but I wept and cried aloud at the Holdo maneuver...not because it fit the story, but because it was my universe all those years ago...and I was glad to see it...finally.

Zeb looked amazing. It really made the Grand Inquisitor look 10x worse.

Definitely some super nerd stuff in here that is awesome.
I get Clone Wars & Bad Batch. I've also read the Thrawn trilogy. Where should I go from here? Preferably audiobook. |
