What, the weequays or the trandoshans? Oh, wait, those were both seperatist? Guess everyone's evil huh

That religious order did try to genocide another religious order, and they're baby snatchers.

Palps may have been immoral using the clones, but his whole empire was cool enough with it to let it happen. When a nation is immoral do you blame the head or the body?

He didn't monopolize shipbuilding, he just contracts so heavily a monopoly happens. Palps and the empire MONOPOLIZE the cloning industry. But the trade union would have too. Just look at droid production, those factories weren't exactly spread between owners

and once more, for strangling any company that doesn't play ball, WHO DOESN'T DO THAT? thats the free market at work, motherfucker!

It really isn't. One of the main issues with pressure suits is the difficulty of movement due to the internal pressure stiffening the joints.

>>65106609
and that makes them the bad guys? A droid army that was doomed to fail in a galactic conquest was a poor investment too, so the trade union are the bad guys too.
Or for that matter, your argument is actually just 'anyone who suffers losses in the military is the bad guy'... Rebels got the Hoth base blown up, so they're the bad guys?

If anything the Empire was just building a superweapon planet and the rebels are the bad guys for blowing it up, twice...

>>65106625
I never said it wasn't faster. I said its speed is shooting itself in the foot, because the interceptor will outmaneuver it at its top speed, while the A wing becomes a fucking rocket with lazers on the front that can't do shit but fly away in a lazy arc lol

TIE interceptor can turn on a dime without sacrificing a bit of velocity

>>65106628
...And kill the pilot in the process.

>>65106628

Keep believing you're fighting for something real, rebel scum. In reality, we probably just didn't want your lousy piloting in our fleet, and you defected.

Sure, we might not have as many effective pilots as when we lost the 2nd Death Star, but even a single squadron of 3-4 interceptors with a larger tie fleet can turn the tide of any battle.

If I see you flying that unarmored bottlerocket anywhere near one of our Imperial cruisers, I'll shred your shitty craft with my quad repeating lasers before you can lean on that crutch you call a targeting computer.

It's clear you've never flown ANY imperial craft before, or you'd know that you pull like 4-5gs at best. If you can't hold your shit together without passing out or snapping your neck on the harness, you shouldn't be flying the thing anyway.

You really think I give a fuck if you think the tie/in is a dangerous craft? I've flown 16 sorties, and have 14 confirmed kills. Every day is a fucking triumph. Everyone literally kisses my ass all day, even though I'm not even an officer.

Our capital ships are really what win wars, though. And your shit doesn't hold a candle to ours.

>>65106633
We usually gave that up when command started realizing flying in such close formation negates the tie/ins smaller target profile. We tend to only do that during atmospheric strafes, bomber escorts, or sometimes raiding freighters and transports.

During dogfights, we let the dumbfuck tie/on squadrons fly in tight formation as cannon fodder, while we swoop in for the kill.

You'd be surprised how much tactics have evolved for the tie/in. They're not the death traps they were. Considering newer models have concussion warheads, we've got a fighter that can fuck up capital ships in a raid.

Mon Calamari cruisers have always been my favorite.

Pretty much the only rebel craft. Which is hilarious, because they're basically gigantic jury-rigged transporters outfitted with mil-spec shields and weapons.

I saw one of these pass through a crossfire of 2 victory-class star destroyers without a single hull-hit. All the while returning fire, from behind even as it fled. It disabled both SD's engines with its ion cannons before making hyperspace and escaping. I would like to see how it could stand up to a couple imperial class SDs though.

I guess there's a reason why they're retiring a lot of Victory II's. They're good for atmospheric blockades, but we already have more than we need for that job.

This thing is a nightmare. Command makes us fly with full hull plating, even though we both know that we'd be fucked if shields gave out anyway. But if this piece of shit overheats, we're still dead in the water.

And whoever said that we're more multi-role than b-wings. We may drop more fire, but God help us if you're attacking a capital ship head on without an A wing squadron to draw the imperial's off you. A b-wing can literally fly circles around the y wing, even if wishbones are a bit faster overall. You definitely don't want to fly alone in a dogfight, and we've been glad we had b-wings watching our asses.

X wings are almost obsolete, despite being a newer design. It's only a matter of time before they're personal transport crafts on the open market. Nothing they can do that another fighter can't do better, except maybe fighter-fightrr combat without capital ship support. stupid space-superiority dupe credit sink, imo
