I always got the impression that the Rebs hot-rodded their Y-wings. Rip the plating since it's not all that effective against next-gen blasters and they only plan to use them in the black (where streamlining is for pussies and A-wings), use the saved power and weight to squeeze a few more points out of the sublight engine and overcharge the shields. Swapping out the gunner seat, second pilot's stores, and most of the turret can't have hurt the weight and power supplies either.
I imagine that's the only way the old girls stayed competitive enough to duck the Seinar Scourge.

What's wrong with chilling with little girls?

Are they erogenous zones?

>>44660090
Y-you didn't know?

Yes

>>44659981
The Rebs locked the turret forward most of the time, but the "gunner seat" is still represented by a turret slot.

Current Ion Cannon Turret mockup:

ATK3, Range 1-2, 4pts, "ATTACK: Attack 1 ship (even a ship outside your firing arc). If this attack hits, the defender receives 1 ion token. Then cancel 1 of your <hit> results."

Cheaper because with my out-of-arc rule it's not throwing as many dice, has a slightly less static damage curve. It cancels AFTER the shot hits, so it might do an ion but no damage vs high-AGI, or an ion and 2 damage vs low-AGI that blanked out.

If I swap the out-of-arc rule to add an evade die instead of remove an attack die it'll go back up to 5 pts, and might anyway because 4pts makes it possible to run 4x 127th Wing Pilots with Composite Beam+Ion Turrets

>>44660090
they're in the "moderately erogenous" category, like ears and the back of your neck

>>44660090
They're extremely sensitive and house part of the Twi'Lek's brain. Grabbing them hard is apparently equivalent to squeezing testicles.

>tfw no group to play Tales of the Jedi era Old Republic RP

>HOW DOES THE BODY PAINT STAY ON!?!?
They do make water-resistant body paint.
Of course, it's not perfect and whatever paint does fade and flake off is just corrected in Photoshop later.

That seems like a major fucking vulnerability.

Hey /swg/! I'm bouncing around an idea for a post-RotJ Star Wars fanfic based partially on historical events. I wanted the climax to be the Battle of Jakku, and I wanted to know if that's already been covered by NuCanon?

>>44660655
yup in Aftermath I believe

>>44660655
>I wanted to know if that's already been covered by NuCanon?

You might as well write it yourself, a blind legless hermit crab could write better than Wendig.

>>44660731
>>44660745
>>44660655

I don't think it's actually detailed in Aftermath, but it is discussed in Lost Stars.

>>44660655
There's also the Battle of Jakku DLC for Battlefront, for what that's worth.

Anyone else disappointed that Jakku was a desert planet before the battle, and it wasn't a temperate world that got Endor Holocaust'd by having a giant space battle above it?

>>44660780
Ok well let me discuss it a little further: I was listening to Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast and, after hearing the story of Admiral Nelson's pursuit of Napaleon's Egyptian expedition, wanted to tell a similar story as a small Imperial force pursued a large republic fleet en-route to Jakku. However, unless I wanted to contradict established canon it may be better to write in another planet to subsitute for Not!Ottoman Egypt.

>>44660780

Yeah, they went through a few versions of a Jakku like planet of different reasons and biomes in the scripts apparently. Desert was probably easiest to shoot with heavy focus on practical effects. And we all know Star Wars writers have a history of shoddy inertia when it comes to designs.

You fucked up.

>>44660845

Canonically, Jakku was a huge battle on both sides with major massing by imps over a weapons plant on Jakku but their leadership was over-confident and underestimated how coordinated the New Republic assault would be, resulting in a terrible loss for the Imperial side, including an SSD (and canonically the only other one which exists).

That's not impossible, just not at all common, as the sith's core philosophy tends to attract mostly assholes. Nothing in the sith code forbids them from doing good.

Try to stay calm and placate during most situations, but really let their hate and anger flow in battle.

>>44660929
yes, but the dark side does

>>44660954
no such thing.
here's how it is; the dark side WILL make you into an asshole no matter what, even if you intended to do good at the start

>>44660930
Seems to me that if a light whip could work at all sorts of ridiculous shit should also be on the table

Also I have no idea how anyone could ever block that shit

TFU had guys using lightsaber pikes. One of them was even a jedi. There was also one that used lightsaber tonfas, but I swear I remember seeing those in other stuff, not just TFU.

In-context answer: Melee combat isn't really what being a jedi is about. It's just a symbol of their order, more than anything. Signifies discipline and stuff. The Sith are much more about personal expression and their fighting styles are one area where this shows up.

Real answer: because every writer wants their villain to be different somehow, and the laziest possible way to go about it is to tack on some weird toys.

>>44661124
>What kind of ranged weapon would you employ against a lightsaber user so you don't get a blaster bolt deflected into your face?
Sonic weaponry. Don't hurt as much but they can't reflect it.

>>44661124
Ezra has a lightsaber with a blaster built into the handle. As for ranged weapons vs. Jedi: explosives.

>>44661153
First Order. New Order was a name for the Empire. And yes, they appear to be all that remains unless some book I haven't read contradicts this

>>44661124

Legends kind of waffles on the subject of slugs. Don't think Canon has commented on it.

In FFG, the game has a note that Reflect only works on attacks which could reasonably be deflected by a Lightsaber, such as blasters - scatterguns, flamethrowers or grenades. F&D DOES have Cortosis-Jacketed rounds though, so you can shoot lightsabers with disabling weapons then follow up with a regular shot.

>>44660943

It's really too bad there isn't a ship he could have been included on, although I guess we got Kyle and Jan with an A- and B-Wing so anything's possible.

Did I get it thematic enough at least?

>>44661171
I thought that the Empire (Imperial Remnant, rather) only still controls the core, and is crippled by reparations and sanctions that the New Republic have put on them. The First Order is a load of people inspired by the Empire, and who have most of their shit stashed away in the unknown regions. Starkiller was just scratching the surface of what they've got.

Sometimes scratch builds just don't want to happen. Cutting new wings for the howlrunner, my last knife blade snapped and now won't score with enough detail to make neat enough cuts into the plastic card.

>>44661329
is that Rance?

>>44661343
Seems suitable, the alternative was some kind of escape mechanism, like a free boost or barrel roll when attacked.

>>44661343
Oh yeah, that Dooku looks awesome. I really like the ability, and the artwork is pretty well framed.

Personally, I was hoping for a Jerec on both the Decimator and the Raider. Still, as FFG run out of the sparse new stuff from TFA, I've still got my fingers crossed for best inquisitor to make an appearance.

>>44661394
I thought about something that would reward you for getting 1 ship (and 1 ship only) in your firing arc, but

>he tends to take multiple people on
>he tends to get REALLY good hits (Anakin in AotC, the ledge on Obi-Wan in RotS)

He's not exactly nimble enough in the acrobatic sense to be a maneuver crew.

>>44661412
>the artwork is pretty well framed.
God, this was a pain. It's a book cover, and the title text is RIGHT above his head, plus a little bracket or something on the right that extended way too far below it.

I'm just glad we got Mara on the Decimator. Fingers crossed Jerec shows up in Rebels or something.

>no Thrawn in the Raider

is there a single anakin/ahsoka fic that isn't abjectly terrible?

Bought the Gozanti tonight for X-Wing. Trial game with a friend, at 100 points, had a good amount of fun. It seemed like it didn't have enough firepower for its cost but I imagine that's less of an issue in actual Epic games?

What's best to put in my Gozanti? Mini TIE-Swarm? Bomber Strike Wing? Advanced Assault Squadron?

>>44661472
Define "terrible"

>>44661393
Pretty much. Zev, the main character of Jed Apprentice Quest, has Rance as his base image.

I love Zahn, but having Luke and Mara shortly before the Vong war struggle to kill a single Droideka is a bit silly.

>>44661475
Reminder that the Gozanti LOVES Fleet Officer, it doesn't take stress and you can combo with Automated Protocols. Fanfuckingtastic for deploying ships with a F+TL stack, since the Gozanti moves near-last and can get your low-PS ships in TL range.

Erm... There was this one with Ashoka getting knocked up, but not by Anakin. Instead its some other padawan who gets zerg rushed and then knifed to death in a battle. Only a bit of actual sex, and that takes place right at the start, rest of the story is pretty short as well.

Oi, Howlfag, I ran the pics of your failed shots by another casting buddy of mine. He suggested dusting the mold with a little talcum powder, if you have any. Apparently it helps break up the surface tension of the resin a bit, in a way that the petrochem mold releases don't, and lets the resin flow into spaces it wouldn't otherwise. Gonna dig up one of my more notoriously shitty molds and see how it works out tomorrow.

not personal, but I can't articulate a reason. it's honestly not unlike my fear of heights; some part of my lizard brain is just crosswired in a certain way.

the thing is, I'm happy with my girlfriend and fully intend to have children in the future, and I don't have a problem with pregnancy in general, not at all. just it in romance.
maybe it's old-breed monogamous instincts that don't like the classic "love-commitment-pregnancy" cycle being out of order, I dunno

>>44661711
Perfectly understandable. To be fair to the story, the father's death is portrayed as being something terrible. Doesn't gloss over it.

>>44661733

True enough.

Though Wedge also shares in that second one, and the Falcon itself is a central participant in both.

>>44661744
it's clear: the Falcon is the second force-sensitive

>>44661124
also spam stun blasts. from canon material (clone wars 3d) the best you can do against them with a saber is dissipate the blast. which is way better than deflected friendly fire. and in legends stun blasts were exceedingly difficult to block because weird ring.

Thanks, I will probably do that on the next mould I make. Still have to make new wings though, I want to make scribed wings that are a bit thicker (1mm instead of .5) this time. Also making a 2 part mould with cannons fulling encased in the lower mould (will have a mould line like pic related). Any thoughts on this line?

Also, might be good not to call me howlfag, while I have no problem with such names (sandgroperfag has been a common one for me for years in /tg/ related discussion) there was already a howlrunnerfag for sometime in these threads and things could get confusing. Also, I am a modelfag that makes more than just howlrunners, but am new to this scale so this Howlrunner is really my testing the waters.

If you want, seems that there aren't any other scratchbuilders these days on here, so I guess that would work.

Also, does anyone have any good tools for designing layouts of freighters in Star Wars? I think I have some graph paper sitting in my supplies closet somewhere, but something that has the basic design rules of different manufacturers would be nice if one exists.

The Clone Wars were nothing like Kenobi's idealization, except his friendship with Anakin (mostly because of TCW and EU making it real though). Jedi were equally hypocritical and warmongering as the Sith by the end of all it and it'd fit perfectly with that video.

>>44662459
The ISD was the baseline established in the movies, and in the grand tradition of the EU every other writer tries to top the 'baseline' model because power creep. And considering the design philosophy behind a Star Destroyer was to subjugate a star system more or less by itself if needed, that's some strong power creep

>>44662459
Well yeah if you get like a thousand corvettes you could wreck an Executor.

>>44662499
The ISD was an 'enforcer' type ship. It kept the peace and order of the Empire but it wasn't built for war. The Nebula was built for war and taking down Imperial Remnants. It's also why by the time the Imperials become an ally of the New Republic/Galactic Alliance and the Vong got brought down the NR/GA resort to using ships with a similar design philosophy to the ISD instead of the NSD.

>>44662499
I suppose it's kinda like HMS Dreadnought. Every ship built after that was designed to be better than the Dreadnought, until you get up to the Yamato and people stopped building battleships in favor of carriers

>>44660872
Because Vader could read minds and stop blaster bolts in midair.

>>44662459
That looks like it'd belong in Freespace.

And the ISD is the iconic capital ship, so it's the one all the other beat up to show how badass they are.

sure. it doesn't make ANY FUCKING SENSE; freighters and larger, they seem to have taken the old WEG cargo number (in tons) and converted it to encumbrance, which completely shits the bed if you want to say haul a crate of 20 rifles in your light freighter, and for fighters (and some freighters with minimal canon cargo space) they just seemingly made whatever the fuck they felt like up.
there's no consistency and it shits the bed the second you try to do anything BUT barely fit a party's worth of personal gear into a YT-1300, is basically the problem.
honestly, I'd just ignore it and dig up the old WEG cargo amounts should it become relevant

I ignore Encumbrance completely unless its rules regarding how much a person can carry.

I treat the Ship's Encumbrance as number of cargo crates - and what a crate can carry is limited by the dimensions of a crate.

Help me out here /swg/ what kind of technological devices can be used to power up an anti galactic terrorist group?

The Star Destroyer design does have some massive compromises due to holding two regiments of stormtroopers, a portable fortress, 20 AT-AT's and a bunch of TIE fighters and landing ships.

A battleship that is also a carrier and an assault ship would be wrecked by a pure battleship of a similar size in a straight fight. But the SD is still vastly superior to most ships.

They don't need a gimmick, a power up, a super weapon, just a few highly placed sympathisers/allies.

Have them based on some unremarkable world, with some unremarkable ships to travel in, but with a vicious streak a parsec long/wide.

Stygium Cloaking Device?
Considering your referring to "Republic" - I can guess this is pre-empire? If so, then cloaking devices small enough for attack ships - patrol boats and heavy fighters - could be a real hindrance, but also technology worth capturing.

Also, I have a campaign canon explanation for Stygium Crystals - that being, Stygium Crystals are technically lightsaber crystals, forged in extremely nasty darkside saturated environments - which makes a stygium cloaking device detectable by Jedi (as a phantom wailing-of-the-damned) even if they can't see it - it also produces a black lightsaber if the crystal is put into one.

Just a thought anyway

A rogue slicer has invented a virus which usurps droids, turning them into sleeper agents. It is at least capable of being subtly transmitted from one droid to another, without either knowing.

>but I need something that would help them raid trading routes

Hyperlanes and Trading Routes are pretty well defined. Also, you can't change direction in Hyperspace, which means you need to revert to Realspace for course corrections. Considering safety, stops are done near civilized systems along hyperspace routes to maximize the chance that a ship can get help if its hyperdrive fails.

A system is pretty big, containing a full solar system of planets.

That means, that if you drop out of Hyperspace in the mass shadow of a System, you wont be inside the system - you'll be on the edge - and have to traverse the system to the other side to re-engage your hyperdrive.

During that time, a pirate attack is most likely, assuming the world isn't heavily patrolled. A major hyperlane will probably have some security - a small hyperlane likely wont, depending on where the world is. Space is Dangerous.

Pre Empire Hyperlanes, the security is probably for-hire, and as such, wont do shit for you unless you pay them or already have (like an insurance business). Core Worlds are likely different, because its the core

>>44662997
that would be arranged without anything new technologically, my terrorist group is behind the scenes influenced and led by Darth Zannah and Cognus and they have an underground network of information retrieval and spies not unlike the one Bane had, also Cognus is way too good at predicting the future I'm sure organizing terrorist actions won't be a problem.

So, I have an X-Wing event on the 30th, does anyone know if Wave 8 is going to be out by then?

>>44663077
Not likely. We didn't get a Mist Hunter preview yesterday, so I'd say 4 weeks minimum (1 for each preview, 1 for the wrap-up preview, and 1-2 for ships to actually make it to stores.

How come the New Republic doesn't help Leia and her Resistance? Weren't they the reason that the Republic even got back on it's feet. Bunch of basic bitches.

>>44663357
They'd been at war for decades at that point, and they didn't want people shitting on the Republic for being as bad as the Empire. If the Imperials wanted to fuck off to unknown space and jack off or whatever, the Republic wasn't going to go tell them no
As for the Resistance, its a bunch of bored pilots and former Rebellion officers who can't let go of the glory days. Throw them some credits or mothballed fighters for old times sake, but don't commit anything officially

>>44663414
>Mothballed fighters.
Than wrecked the TIE like nothing. Why is the Remnants still using the fuckers.

>>44663357
The New Republic signed a peace-treaty with the Imperial holdouts and settled into a semi-comfortable cold-war with them. The Resistance is perceived as a dumping-ground that lets people who don't trust the Imps to abide by that treaty self-select out of the 'sane' military to indulge their 'paranoia' and keep an eye on the bad guys. They're seen as the kind of nuts who can't let go of the past, who still keep trying to fight a war that's been over for decades... but when someone as high-profile as Leia Organa Solo decides she's not going to trust a scorpion to keep its word, you can't exactly lock her in a looney-bin.

About to start my biennial TOR playthrough with my friend, where I promise to commit and then burn out at 15 while he takes his guy to cap.

TIE's have always been a case of gotta go fast and shields too slow, its part of their DNA

It's also much more killy at the cost of a couple of cheap laser cannons on a gimbal mount and an untrained stormtrooper.

I don't like how either incorporates the Alliance Starbird. The Rebel Alliance and the New Republic should be two separate things. The New Republic is supposed to be the government of the galaxy, and many New Republic worlds had nothing to do with the Rebellion.

The New Republics military should have the Starbird, to represent the people who fought to bring the New Republic in power. The Symbol of the New Republic should be something to represent the whole galaxy, whether they fought or not.

But thats just my opinion

>>44663573

While I generally agree, I do think that Mon Mothma's choice of demilitarizing the New Republic makes sense as something she would do. She was the Senator and representative of Chandrilla, which is a pacifist planet of philosophers .

Plus, while George didn't write the new lore, he has shown time and again that the highest morality in Star Wars, on a political level, is Pacifism, and represents many pacifist societies as the ultimate goodguys. So again, it makes sens that the New Republic would attempt to make a galactic nation with no military power, and try to de-emphasize military power in general. Plus, its a kneejerk reaction to wanting to be as far from the Empire as possible in terms of how you appear to the galaxy.

>>44663641
I dunno - a variation on the Old Republic logo, and something newer. You can use some of the same sorta stylings as the Starbird (notably wings and a central spear) - just that it isn't exactly the Starbird. But by showing stylings, it can represent that "We are the Old, and The New, and what we are came from the actions of the Brave"

>>44663609

Just going from little has been pulled out of the new canon, I get the impression the Republic had dialed back to a Self Defense Force style of military, that spent a lot of time following the capital around as it got shifted between members. Basically just a bunch of cruisers to hang in orbit around the capital world to give the impression of a defence and patrol ships to secure trade lanes

>>44663671

Pretty sure that he's simply shown that pacifism gets people killed. Every achievement, every victory the heroes ever gain is because there are people with the balls to step up to the plate and fight the good fight. Remember that Star Wars is heavily inspired by World War II. Appeasement and pacifism didn't work well in the 1930s, and they didn't work well in Star Wars.

There's a difference between hating it but knowing it as a necessary evil, and wilfully blinding yourself to the dangers of leaving yourself defenseless. Ackbar's always been the former.

Blast damage. Trigger Blast with a rocket tube and you're dealing 30 damage or so, maybe more if you spent the 45 xp you'd spend on throwing shit around with the Force on stuff from the Demolitionist spec tree.

Eh, its more complicated then that.
Naboo, Alderaan, Chandrilla, and Mandalore are all shown to be "good guy" planets - peaceful, with benevolent rulers, selfless internal governing, and rather idyllic societies full of happy people.

They become victim worlds to show who exactly the badguys are.

>Alderaan

George wasn't making a commentary that fighting is whats good - but that the bad guys are evil because they kill the defenseless good guys

Each of the above worlds were founders of the Rebellion too. (except Mandalore, obviously)

>>44663781
Ackbar would be down for the idea of what the New Republic has become - he probably suggested the idea of Planetary Defense Forces as a compromise to Mon Mothma's total disarmament

They still had a fleet, they just didn't have the desire to go route out the last fleeing remnants of the empire from a more or less completely unexplored region of space. From the perspective of a war weary democracy it just wasn't worth it, and only a minority believed the Imperials would ever be a threat again. Hell, just look at Poe's face when he's dragged aboard the Star Destroyer, the dude is shocked that the First Order even has such a thing, and he signed up even before that

That depends on how retarded you think she was in the first place.

Compare her to her contemporaries, and those who started the Rebellion - notably Bail Organa and Padme Amidala - both of whom died. She'd want to honor their memory and what they stood for by aligning the new government to what they would wish for.

That being, an idyllic nonviolent state

>It's why the Jedi are such a contradiction, warriors, diplomats, generals and philosophers
The Jedi are only "pacifists" in the sense that OJO in EU media tried to use violence as an absolute last resort. Even then, in the actual films, they're cool with cracking skulls when negotiations fail (and they're contractually obligated to always fail). The Jedi of the OT were just Space Samurai. Then look at the heroes. Han shoots first. Leia is willing to pick up a gun and shoot stormies, and in the canon comics, when she sees Vader, her first instinct is to tell Chewie to take the shot. Luke is a war veteran and a hotshot fighter ace. The pacifism thing can use Vader's redemption as an argument but Luke still fought stormies on Endor. That was more of a case-by-case basis.

>>44663789
>Chandrila
Criticized in Legend as sanctimonious, self-righteous people who wrongly attempt to impose their society's values on others. Most Legends Chandrilans were sheltered rich people who didn't have to struggle for a thing in their lives. Canon Chandrila is too sparsely explored for me to use it as an argument, however.

>Naboo
They were largely peaceful, but they and the Gungans still had a standing military.

>Alderaan
Not explored well enough yet in canon to say. Legends Alderaanians, however, were a mixed bunch. Many Alderaanian heroes weren't pacifists at all. Tycho, Winter, and Legends Leia got shit done because they were okay with getting their hands dirty.

>Mandalore
Pacifism failed on Mandalore.

And Mon Mothma, the most iconic member of Chandrilan society, still led an armed rebellion. The canon Nubian and Alderaanian Rebels weren't pacifists either. Padme and Leia were willing to pick up guns and shoot people. And in Rebels, weren't the CR90s provided by Bail or some other Alderaanian leader?

Pretty sure part of George's message is that pacifism is unfeasible. Sometimes, evil has to be fought.

They had a volounteer defense force.
Even Jar Jar makes mention of that he believes the friction between the Naboo and the Gungans is because the Gungans DO have an army (and likely refuse to submit to the leadership of the Naboo Queen)

>Alderaan
>NO! Alderaan is peaceful, we have no weapons!
>mentioning Alderaan expats doing violence AFTER their world got blown up.

Also, Tycho and Leia are special cases. Tycho joined the Imperial Academy and went rogue after Alderaan was blown up - Leia is a skywalker and therefore, reckless and sharing all the traits of her mom.

>Mandalore
Pacifism was successful until the Clone Wars, and likely would have continued being successful, had the war NOT fucked up everyones day

>Mon Mothma
The early rebellion leaders wanted a political change, and did not how to bring that about militarily. This is why they practically begged Garm Bel Iblis to join them, and why people like Ackbar were so important. Mon Mothma and Bail were not military leaders, and did not make military decisions - they waited in the wings for the time when an actual govt would rise from the fighting

>>44664116

I only know about Mandolarians through KOTOR and I remember that race being adamant on combat, war and stuff like that. They even praised Revan for smashing them in.

>>44664116
A 'volunteer defence force' with fighter craft and armoured vehicles maintained with government money is a standing military, claiming otherwise is just semantics.

>>44664162
Turns out millennia of getting their fudge packed, ending with getting Mandalore itself glassed, convinced a sizeable faction of people into saying that hey, maybe pacifism isn't such a bad idea.

Granted, their rule is pretty short and its ended during the Clone Wars, but it still happens and makes sense in context.

By modern times, the Mandalorians switched to a pacifist nation after the republic reduced the world to a wasteland

It didn't last past the Clone Wars however

>>44664164

Depends on what you do with it - Naboo didn't fight wars of conquest, and didn't even try to bring the Gungans to heel using force.

Sure sounds like Defense to me, semantics or not - and a nonviolent peaceful society, military or not, does not fight wars of imperialism or expansion.

And thats the point I was making

>>44664207
A defence force is just a nicer name for a military. You don't have to go bother people with it for it to count.

>>44664229

The distinction is important.

The Japanese don't call their armed forces an Army or a Navy - nor do the Germans.
>Japanese Self Defense Force
>German Bundeswehr (Federal Defense)

>>44664250

Aaaand I fucked up - Germans do refer to their shit as Heer and Marine and Luftwaffe

But the rest of my point stands in any case

>>44664250
Neither does Australia, and yet we function exactly like a regular military would, because that's exactly what a Defence Force is. A military with a nicer name.

>>44664267
Well, it's both correct. Bundeswehr is the term for the combined armed forces. The other three terms are for the individual branches: Heer is the army, Luftwaffe the air force, and Marine the navy.

>>44664283
Defense forces usually have constitutional limitations as to when and how they may be deployed.

>Our security volunteers will be no match against a battle-hardened Federation army."

>>44664207
Not really no. A standing military is a standing military. Whether it's for conquring your neighbors or just a defensive force doesn't matter here.

>>44664250
No, its really not.

Its the exact same thing with a different name. The only difference is how the people want to try and present themselves.

Its still an armed force supported by a government for the purposes of defending the nation and its interests. 'Defence forces' can still deploy abroad or undertake offensive actions and armies just called 'Army' can sit at home never bothering anybody.

Is that Revolver "Revolving Door" Ocelot?

>>44664310
>a battle-hardened Federation army
?

>>44664116
>Volunteer defense force
Still a military. They had milspec weapons, milspec speeders, milspec starships, and if Galactic Battlegrounds is anything to go by, even flamethrowers. I'd argue that the friction is caused by the Nubians simply not wanting a military competitor on their planet.

>AFTER their world got blown up.
Legends mentions that Tycho wasn't the only Alderaanian who joined military service. Alderaan's government also wasn't full pacifist--their planet may not have had any weapons, but Another Chance and her escorts were built just in case they actually had to fight again. Said ships were owned by the Alderaanian Guard, whose "security force" status nevertheless still allowed them to own milspec capital ships.

Leia may have been a Skywalker, but she was raised as an Alderaanian. Leia's family required that she be trained to fight, even at least in self-defense. Pre-Yavin Legends Leia also ran several missions for the Rebel Alliance, with at least one being a combat deployment.

Raymus Antilles, another Alderaanian, led several combat missions against the Empire as well in Legends.

>Mon Mothma did not make military decisions
One of Garm's reasons for starting his own party was precisely because Mothma was becoming more and more of a control freak. She took leadership roles in the theft of the Fresian X-wing prototypes and the Death Star plans, both of which were military operations. She hired Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors to run missions for the New Republic, and you don't hire Kyle Katarn to do peaceful shit. She also hired Han Solo to raid or infiltrate Imperial bases.

>>44664325

Why do you think all those Bothans are dead?

I'm looking forward to Rogue One just to see how many bothans they actually kill for it.

>>44664325

Hmmmm

>>44664345

>>44664345
Rogue One is about the first Death Star, I'm pretty sure.

>>44664345
Man I'm so hyped for Rogue One.
Even if we don't get any Rebels cameos or mentions, Rogue One's cast will def be in Rebels in some shape or form.

>>44664365
>>44664363

...you are right. I am an idiot. For some reason I was thinking that it was Bothans -> Leia -> R2 for the plans.

Can the B-wing shoot mini-Death Star lasers like it did in Rebels in XWM?

>>44664401
Depends. Do you consider the Heavy Laser Cannon upgrade to be an appropriate substitute or do you require an actual composite-beam laser card for it to count?

>>44664401

Not yet. I wouldn't be suprised to see it make it in as a Cannon Upgrade a few waves down the line, when they're beginning to get desperate.

>>44664401
Nope. The one in Rebels was a rough draft prototype. The scrubbed the comp laser in later revisions due to it shorting out the hyperdrive, plus it was probably way to expensive and maintenance-heavy for a line fighter.

>>44664340

Lets just agree to disagree

Naboo is different from Alderaan in that at least they do have a means of defense. However, even before and during the clone wars, Alderaan did too. I imagine their reason for complete disarmament was disgust with how far the republic had fallen (considering how stupid the clone wars was), and to appear as non-threatening to the Empire as possible

>>44664340
They didn't have milspec speeders - they were upgunned speeders with a blaster canon - thats hardly a tank.

I also disagree with your assertion about military competition with the Gungans - everything about Naboo says they would love to have them be friends and get along together - and are thrilled to work together to push the TradeFed off world. You make them sound vaguely fascist.

>Another Chance
It also mentions every other warship was melted down into peace medals Also, wtf is three frigates really gonna do if Alderaan needed to fight again? I agree the intention might be what you claim, but if so, its a really bad plan.
(Also, Another Chance was recovered, and apparently filled with junk that made up for the loss at Derra IV - way to go Alderaan)

>Mon Mothma
That sounds like hinky Legends shit, honestly. I'll concede on that point, mostly because I can't fight hinky EU justifications for things.

>>44664445
>Believe it or not, but apparently Battle Droids were supposed to be badasses until George literally forgot that fact
But I don't think a droid army can be battle hardened unless they were used all the time with the same memories.

>>44664482
TCW has an arc which mentions them.

They're conduits connecting the Living Force (ie the Force inside people and other living things) to the Cosmic Force (the Force that binds everything together).

>>44664445
>Battle Droids were supposed to be badasses
Well, after Episode 1 they started giving the droids more individuality so that taking out their command ship wouldn't make them all go offline.

>>44664487
It makes even less sense if you consider that memory wipes were standard procedure for droids.

Unless commanders like OOM-9 didn't get wiped periodically.

Or its just inconsistent writing.

>>44664487
Well, the army as a whole could still benefit from combat experience by optimising the strategical and operational procedures. The individual droids won't get any better, but perhaps the biological commander behind them may eventually learn that "line everyone up in tight rank and file formation on an open field" is not a good idea.

>>44664499
Is the Cosmic Force evil? Is this why Luke can still deflect things with his lightsaber when being cut off by Ysalamiri?

>>44664513
So the TF neimoidians are still not battle-hardened at all?

>>44664445
Why do you have such a problem with calling an armed force maintained by a government for national defence a military?

And why did you pretend that not hiding it behind euphemisms means you will use it aggressively?

>>44660090
They also host part of the brain. Cutting them, beside causing major pain, basically lobotomizes the twi'lek.

>>44660558
yet another case of inconsistency

>>44664528
Why would they be? They're merchants. They don't fight regularly. The only reason they are a major player in the CIS is because of how rich they were. They owned the means of production but otherwise they're as dumb as the Naboo are in terms of war. It's like if two Italian merchant houses went to blows.

>>44664543
I think they've toned down that bit in recent years. I mean it's be pretty dumb to have such large parts of your brain out in the open like that

>>44664516
>Is the Cosmic Force evil

wat

No. The Cosmic Force isn't evil. I have no idea how you came to that conclusion. The Cosmic Force is no more evil than gravity is.

The Cosmic Force creates the Living Force, and the Living Force feeds back into the Cosmic Force in a neverending cycle.

>>44664537

>why

Because not adhering to the distinction makes Naboos Armed Forces sound much more capable then they actually are.

When you use the term Military, suddenly Naboo and Corellia might as well be the exact same - when they aren't.

>>44664573
So having more Midichlorians than someone else means they're stronger?

>>44664582
>much more capable than they actually are
