To the guy last thread wondering about the K-Wing in XWM, it's pretty great for a couple reasons. The primary turret and the turret slot make it a flexible mini-Falcon, the ordinance and SLAM option make for a pretty crazy bomber or missile carrier with more than one shot, and the fact that it has those turret options and no red on its dial makes it extremely friendly to a brand new casual player in a pickup game.

In spite of how derpy I find the actual ship design, it's got a really good niche carved out in the game.

The only real question is, why weren't you playing as Poncho Scout Trooper OLL-13 in the first place.

Question: What's stopping an astromech from rebuilding himself into a more robust humanoid form "one piece at a time"? For example, adding a B1's arms at first, then replacing his retractable leg with something like an assassin droid's legs.

Astromech and humanoid droid limbs aren't exactly interchangeable. It'd be easier to back itself up and download itself into a new body than to switch out limbs from a B1 onto an astromech body.

>>44362412

Rebellion comics. Also appeared in SW: Galaxies.

>>44362605
So they're canon?!

Nice.

Calling it now: Rey is Luke's lesbian clone (whoever found Anakin's lightsaber found Luke's severed hand, too); the ST is about her relationship with Phasma and the end of the Skywalker line; Kylo is a Solo and sacrifices himself to kill Snoke.

>>44362633

Nope. Both of those are Legends sources.

>>44362668

>>44363263
Turbo lasers and ion cannons do jackshit to protect from fighters is basic star wars knowledge. Not engineering. If the writer doesn't know about the franchise he's writing for, then he's an incompetent.

>>44363967
Explains why the Finalizer could only barely shoot down that TIE while it managed to fuck up quite a bit of it's hull.

>>44364028
I almost bought that as their shields being down but those heavyly armoured turrets just splating was really odd. I guess the SF tie might be using those high power cells but still.

I almost feel like the FFG raider should just be canonised as it fills the role of an actual destroyer so well.

>>44364112

Things get fucked up when you don't have shields. Looks like they had missile-turrets for anti-fighter defense, though. That's bound to fuck someone up, and they did.

>>44364112

The FFG Raider is pretty boss as a small capital ship.

>>44364028
It was firing missiles at it, which are not in the official stats, and the one that hit exploded away from the body.

They also manually disabled the cannons on the ship, which weren't 3,000.

Those stats are "the gozanti is 30 meters long" levels of fucked.

>>44361576
Don't worry, it'll be retconned and changed to something more realistic, and then the canon will eventually be reset bla bla bla.

The Force Awakens questions

Who were Rey's parents? Luke and someone else?

Supreme Leader Snoke? My theory is the projection isn't what he really looks like

Is Finn force sensitive?

>>44364287
Maybe.
Probably.
I hope so.

>>44364287
Finn can't use the force, it's why he had to sit the duel out while the proper force users did everything.


Rey is Luke and Leia's daughter. Hand and Luke finally shared.

Supreme Leader has a very high chance of being an emperor clone in the same vein as the silly novels.

>>44363012
Man, that would've been something. They fly in and find the SKB studded with point defense apertures. Suddenly a thousand black glossy eyes focus in and bzzzrt.

>>44364344
it's also why his part of the duel was actually good. They even used the cigarette lighter bit in a cute way.

>>44364287
All but confirmed when Disney took down that game video.

Probably Plagueis.

Probably not.

Resistance =/= Republic. All they could sneak to them were X-Wings. It's like asking why an Anericsn funded "resistance" would have hand-me-down AR-15s and Jeeps but not Bradleys

>>44364287
We just don't know. Her being his daughter doesn't really make sense. But it being left as a mystery kind of implies that it will be meaningful when it's revealed. If it's not a twist then why keep it a mystery? I kind of think that it's just an Abrams marketing thing. He did a talk, I think it was a ted talk, about mysteries and how they're great tool to get people's interest. So I wouldn't put it past him to make her parentage a mystery purely to give us something to speculate about, even though it's actually not important.

I kind of assume that he isn't that big, but other than that, there's not really anything to use as a base for further speculation.

No real reason to think so.

>>44364658
You know how the US is replacing all their bombers and fighters with multirole starfighters?

Resistance did just that.

I'm still weirded out by this "resistance" having the latest model of x-wing in spades. No older ships in their fleet whatsoever.

>>44364658
Because they wanted to start small with everything and not have information overload that your average viewer wouldn't be able to handle. So they mostly kept it to just the Falcon, X-Wings and a couple different TIEs for the stuff you get a real look at in TFA.

>>44364658
Possibly retired and replaced by B-wings off-screen. One of the Resistance ships is an ugly with parts from a B-wing "Mark II." Still, it's pretty odd that nobody bothered sending the Resistance any attackers or strike fighters.

The Y-Wing was around that old when Endor happened, anon. 60 is pushing it a little.

>>44364658
Because the base they launched their assault from didn't have any, and there wasn't time to get any from elsewhere.

Okay, so my The Force Awakens wishlist for X-Wing:

Some Spoilers...
TIE/sf Expansion, and either give that a turret firing arc,
or a Tech upgrade that's essentially a small-ship Anti-Pursuit laser, given Poe's secret X-Wing blaster

Wiki says different. The T-70 is actually not a brand-spankin' new model, but a few models behind. The Republic apparently uses T-85s, whatever those are, and gives the Resistance its old tech.
Probably going to see them getting newer ships in the later movies, since now the Resistance might be all they have.

>>44364787
The YT-1300 is an early clone wars era freighter, over a hundred years old. Doesn't stop it, why would it stop anything else in star wars land.

>>44364811
How many models did they burn through in thirty years?

If anything, it should be more like
t-65
t-65a
t-65-ig
and keep adding new letters and numbers for the different variants as the electronics and other shit get updated. t-70 implies it's a whole new model, which shouldn't have happened more than once in the time period. Unless the t-70 underperformed to sub-t-65 levels of garbage and forced them to commision a new model early. Which means the resistance is literally getting garbage.

Fingers crossed for StealthX. Or at least something with a less ugly s-foil design.

>>44364827
The Falcon was a one-of-a-kind custom job that was heavily modified over the years. Even then, it was still a rustbucket by the OT era. Refitting and upgrading a galaxy's worth of Y-wings takes a hell of a lot more money, time, and resources than keeping an old freighter in service. After Endor, it was probably more cost-effective to replace the Y-wing completely than to pour money into keeping the old girl competitive.

>>44364701
Yup, JJ Abrahms and the Mystery Box, same old same old.

I'm actually rooting for Mama Phasma, related to Luke or not.

>>44364811
So we're going to see some RZ-5s and BTL-M6s?

>>44361530
TFA spoilers
I know it became a simple fact screeched by the howler monkeys of the Internet, but how do you actually feel about Han Solo's death?

>>44364951
My reasoning is more "the resistance is a bunch of faggots, why do they have top of the line shit?" Heck, I would have been happy just with them having a few T-65s mixed in with their T-70s.

>>44364906
Model designations are not purely sequential in practice, prototypes, trainers or weird/failed designs that got designations can cause skips

Between the start of the unified designation system in 1962 and the introduction of the F-16 in 1978 the United States got through 16 numbers in 16 years.

T-65 to T-85 in 30 is perfectly reasonable. And the T-70 is clearly a new spaceframe with different wings, a different hull and different engines. It just has the same basic shape.

A lot of people like to shit on it but I actually thought it was handled pretty well

>>44365068
it was alright. Han and Ben were both pretty well handled through the whole movie. Though I am fucking pissed it was Rey who hugged Leia afterwards instead of Chewie. Like, bitch, you knew him for ONE DAY.

>>44365111
Seconded. It felt genuine. Which is good because I heard Ford didn't even want to do this movie

>>44365090
It's more that they burned through three models on a ship that was top of the line. With the new republic probably splurging on new infrastructure after taking over.

I have a hard time believing they went "let's make a new better fighter than this fighter that outperforms everything" made it and then went "lol, let's make a new fighter that out performs this new fighter that outperfoms the fighter that outperformed everything" AGAIN! In the space of 30 years. While rebuilding THOUSANDS of systems.

>>44365068
Generally, it was okay, even good. I think it would be rather awkward for him to stay in the finale, as he wouldn't fit in anywhere in the dynamic of Rey/Finn/Ren fight. Other than that, I must admit that I haven't found the moment very emotional, because seriously, who'd believe that the villain of all the time until then would now suddenly jump ship? IMO that Han would die was painfully obvious from the moment he stepped on that narrow catwalk thing, but other than that, I liked this scene.

>>44364906

Didn't look or fly like garbage.

If anything, it looks like the X-Wing the Republic would produce when they could put things together in real, actual production factories with Republic-scale resources instead of secret bases with scrap and junk.

I just got my Return to Hoth stuff for Imperial Assault. Yippee!

I'm looking forward to running my second campaign. Hopefully some of the players try out new heroes, either from Twin Shadows or Return to Hoth.

>>44365172
Two new designs in 30 years is entirely reasonable. There is plenty of real life precedent for starting to design the next generation before you even finish producing the new one. Europe still went ahead with producing end of WW2 designs despite their ruined countries. And just like post WW2 Europe had the USSR to worry about the New Republic had the remnants of the Empire.

In the old EU the E wing was only 4-5 years after Endor so its hardly the first time this has happened in Star Wars either.

>>44365154
In an interview he was asked that and pointed out he could have absolutely said no if he wanted. He's rich and has no contractual obligations, he could have said no. I think he wanted to see Han's story end and was satisfied enough with the script to sign on.

>>44365239
You're right, I guess. Seeing so many old as fuck models still active in real life kind of fucked with my perception.

>>44365231
How's a pilot actually supposed to use their skill in FFG star wars? I know you can house rule it, But with all the public testing and the amount of thought they put into things, it's weird that the game doesn't seem to model pilot skill or ship agility at all. Just armor vs weapons.

There was one piece I wasn't able to get yet, actually. My LGS didn't order enough copies of the Leia ally pack, so I'm still waiting for that. But I really like the Echo Base Troopers. I think the elite version can compete with Wookiee Warriors for a spot in Rebel squads.

So I reckon I'm getting Force and Destiny tomorrow, it's my first Star Wars RPG but I'm pretty hyped for it. I know the books use special die, but that there's also a conversion guide in the book if you don't want to shell out the cash.

However, I'm also seeing references to little "dark side pips" on several faces of the die. Looking at the packaged die FFG sell, I can't see any of these pips of passionate goodness, is this just a mistake? Can I order a bag that says "Edge of the Empire" and not worry about the dark side pip thing?

>>44365514
It's the little black circles on the white d12.

>>44365514
There should be a force die in the general kit, since you have to roll it for destiny at the start of a game session of non-FnD games too.

It's a pretty good weapon in Imperial Assault campaign mode. It rolls blue/green for attack and has a passive +1 accuracy, which means it has pretty good range. It's surge abilities are for +2 damage and Pierce 2, so it packs a pretty good punch. And it has 2 modification slots, so you can upgrade it to suit your tastes. I'd probably say there are better weapons, but not more flexible ones. Give it a Marksman Barrel and Underbarrel HH-4 and put it in Loku's hands and it has 9 guaranteed accuracy.

Why snowtrooper need to see, toyvarich? Only shades of white in front of you.

Republic military is probably a lot better funded and equipped than these Resistance fighters fighting their proxy wars.

Spoilers:
Well, WAS a lot better. If even one of those planets held the Republic's standing fleet or army, the Resistance with their surplus military tech might be all they have left. Pretty sure they mentioned that the attack would fuck up the Republic's armada as well, so the Resistance might really be the last men standing with little support from the Republic.

>>44365845
I recall someone telling general Leia that they lost "the fleet" during the star-killer base briefing. Not sure if they meant another Resistance fleet of surplus X-wings, or the New Republic's fleet.

>>44365417
Ultimately, it's because they started with Edge of the Empire. This made them focus more on being in a freighter side of things. So it didn't make as much sense to be doing crazy maneuvers and there was the extra Hull to compensate.

They sort of balanced this with the squadron rules, but ultimately, a pilot in a starfighter can't really hold out much on his own without a fuckton of the really good piloting talents and thinking outside the box. Basically, treat the game as you normally would with personal-scale combat, don't assume the maneuvers and actions in the book are the only ones available to you, try different things to put the piloting skill to use like flying at/in-between a squadron of TIEs to try and make them crash into each other/the environment.

I don't know, man, what other explosion was going on that might have destroyed their fleet? Could have been that their own ships were off at one of those Republic worlds when the weapon hit home.

But they did lose a lot of X-Wings, these TIEs don't look like flying garbage this time. How are they going to get reinforcements? They're back to how the Rebellion was at Yavin: some ships and a handful of fighters. I hope we start seeing them bring in some surviving Republic tech. I think it's safe to say the Resistance can come out of fighting in the shadows now with such an overt attack by the First Order.

I don't know, As retarded as the Republic is, even they wouldn't be dumb enough to concentrate their entire military, government, and industrial centers in the same system. I imagine there are other forces off screen that are just fine. After all, Mon Cala/Dac is part of the republic and presumably they still have their shipyards. If so, it'll be no problem for them to start cranking out new warships and the like, leaving our heroes in a much better position than at Yavin.

Plus, given that we never see more than a handful of star destroyers, what if the First Order is actually unable to press their advantage with starkiller base destroyed. Imagine all the time, resources, and manpower that went into building that base that weren't devoted to starship or other production.

I think they might be multiple tasks. He's noted in backstory as being a talented trooper, model material, even if he was just on basic trooper duty, hence his unfamiliarity with turrets and ships and stuff. Might be where they're getting their Special Forces.

Though they also mentioned they might be using clones for others, with the officer really pulling for natural born humans over clones, contending that they're just as reliable.

With the New Republic's size, even demilitarization shouldn't limit them to just one fleet. Having only one NR fleet, and one that small, would be fucking retarded. Logically, "the" fleet destroyed in the film should merely be "a" fleet in the NR's arsenal.

>>44366343

They did hit their senate, though. The center for galactic politics just went up in Snoke. The First Order is stated as seeing the New Republic as illegitimate, weak, and unable to hold the galaxy together. Could be that it was only tentatively holding the galaxy together, and without it, and in the face of a the First Order blowing up a whole star system at once, the New Republic could turtle and give in to fear pretty easily.

Ok you stupid motherfuck listen up, real life militaries don't fucking employ JANITORS! Why you ask, drool falling from your mouth, because they have whole piles of idle manpower just lying around that is far more trustworthy to have on a cocking military facility.

Sanitation is an important part of running a base of such magnitude and as such the work will be done by enlisted personnel ie stormtroopers. So stop bringing this up as though it means Finn wasn't raised from birth to be a killing machine, aye aye sir!

They did a fantastic job making him expressive and giving him character. Truly amazing special effects work.

What is the most underrated piece of music from the Star Wars films? Everybody knows the main theme, the Imperial March, Binary Sunset, etc.

My choice: The Asteroid Field. The part starting around 2:15 is fucking amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVycvLAFXmc

man, i really wish they'd devoted like two lines of the opening crawl or something to explaining the current political situation in The Force Awakens era.

So the first order is a separate political and geographical entity from the empire, right?
the majority of the surviving empire's military fucked off into the unknown regions and became the first order.

so what happened to the minor state that the old empire was reduced to? is it still around? does it have industry? does it trade with the new republic for survival? I wanna know more about this nation that has survived under the careful gaze of it's larger new republic neighbor. It could be interesting to see a nation that knows that it did terrible things in the past and is looking to atone. Hell maybe they could be the ones stopping the First order from steamrolling straight through the new republic.(but i doubt it)

Moreover, Kind of fucking lay out that the Resistance is basically a PMC funded by the some new republic senators that's fucking around First order territory to fuck them up. Also point out in the film that the new republic capitol is in hosnian or something when all we've known before is coruscant. Don't just refer to it as the "capitol of the republic" without giving it a name.

I really hoped that she wasn't, simply because I thought it would make her character a little better, but I think she probably is.

I concur. I wasn't expecting to like him (or care, for that matter), but whoever was driving him did good work. The thumbs-up scene is what sold me.

The Empire surrendered after their defeat at Jakku. By the time of TFA, its just another seamless part of the Republic, in that it doesn't exist at all.

All the people who refused to surrender after Jakku fucked off to found the First Order.

>Resistance as a PMC
Their a legit funded military to act as Proxy on the Republics behalf. To the outsider, they seem like hired thugs, but its essentially as if the US Govt didn't have a national military, but funded each State to have a militia.

Its designed so that no one can grab power the way Palpatine did, ever again.

Also, the Capitol of the Republic moves around

>>44367229
I love Across the Stars and Battle of the Heroes. Duel of the Fates is awesome, of course, but gets too much attention. I prefer dat tragic mode.

>>44367229

I'd say either Battle of Hoth (the full suite) for a long answer, and the men's chorus at 5:00 in Battle of Endor II when Luke finally breaks and starts beating tar out of Vader.

The long answer is for the fact that the music is tied so well to the events on screen, it's become almost indelible - to this day, I can still hear and see "Ah, our first catch of the day" at just the right moment.

And the short one - Luke circles the drain, and he doesn't even care. So much like his father when someone he loves is threatened.

>>44367475
Almost certain he meant 2:20, since that's the musical phrase I think of when I hear "Star Wars" and "Asteroid Field" in the same sentence.

>>44367754
yeah, but I like the part at 1:15 better

>>44367736
>dat tragic mode
In that case, I think that I'd nominate this for my favorite tragic piece
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbAI1EPQH6M

Especially the bit where the strings flare up and the only thing it reminds me of is Luke straying over the line. Because the first time I saw that movie, there was the very real fear that Luke would do it. Luke would fall as his father before him.
And in a way, this is the death of Vader that you're hearing, for good or ill.

>>44366226
Yea, but that's because he has studied wookie life day artwork and thus appreciates the meaning behind it.

He had seven different props. Some were driven, others were nailed to the floor and puppeted. Each had its purpose for expressing character or just moving around in a realistic manner.

Of course, Star Wars hit the nail on the head by essentially just making their child or otherwise annoying characters droids. They sound less annoying, you don't have to deal with cute lines and child-voice because they just beep and boop, they aren't emotive, so act more through motion, manner, and sound than facial expressions, and they're literally pieces of scenery of the setting, being robots that populate it and can act in it in their own way.

>>44367662

TIEs might lack in power, but they carry WHOLE lot of pilots who can synergize with each other. TIE/fo's have some of that, but they come in as a lot more expensive. Mix and match to your taste, but Interceptors aren't pushovers either.

>>44367723

He's still on the team as a consultant, but he was officially just the director of VII.

>>44366931
Finn was a janitor, he says it in the movie. Entering combat left him dazed and unable to engage, the sight of blood terrified him. Someone who has been training his whole life would, at the very least, have his muscle memory do all the shit he's supposed to do, even if poorly.

His reaction is closer to an improperly trained conscript than a well oiled war cog.

>>44368368

His backstory says he was actually a promising candidate for the Officer Corps. He was written up for going back to save his buddies on multiple occasions. Sanitation was probably his day job when he wasn't out killing. Some pull guard duty, some run patrols, and some have to fix the shitter and handle the garbage.

I mean, how come he suddenly becomes competent at fighting when he's on foot and fighting? Is he using his conscript training that worked out so well when he was squeamish at the sight of blood? Just highly selective combat competence? Better explanation is just that he's sanitation on one shift, pulled in and out of combat rotation to give others a break.

He's on Sanitation, when you're in the military that's pretty much where you send your chronic fuckups to go do KP, burn shit, clean toilets, wash down vehicles and 101 other miserable, non-combat tasks that they can't screw up too much and are otherwise out of your way.
The alternative is you PT the cunts half to death on a regular basis when you've got the NCO's to supervise, but chances are they'll fuck that up too, so they end up in sanitation after that anyway.

Quick reminder Rey pulls the saber several yards on her first try moments after discovering she has any power at all.

Quick reminder it took Luke another year to use the mind trick, a feat previously only seen from a venerable Jedi Master.

Quick reminder Rey does this on her second try as her first use of the Force.

Quick reminder Luke had Ben's Force ghost guiding him during the trench run and on Hoth.

Quick reminder Rey never had a mentor of any sort but is an excellent pilot, linguist, staff fighter, mechanic, shooter, Force-user and lightsaber duelist all on her first try.

Quick reminder that no one really took Luke seriously at first except Ben, and even R2 was able to trick him and escape.

Quick reminder everyone loves Rey as soon as they meet her.

Quick reminder that while Kylo got grazed by the bowcaster, Rey was thrown several yards into the canopy of a tree then fell to the ground and wasn't slowed down at all.

And again, just a real quick reminder that you're a massive fucking faggot.

I mean yeah, it'd be stupid of me to expect in depth discussions about whether or not a military is necessary for the functioning of the state, but I just feel like the "No army for the republic" is just a contrived way of moving the military situation back to what it was in ANH.

The mechanic bit wasn't that strange. She'd at least have to have some knowledge, being a scavenger for a living.

You forgot to mention how she was a bonafide jedi/rebellion expert, despite the fact that all of that shit has supposedly faded into myth and obscurity. You'd think a backwater dustball populated by nothing other than scrap dealers would be the last place you'd learn about the jedi, given they were already basically unknown at the time of A New Hope.

The Delaya would be big enough to have deckplans, considering its a courier ship.

The X-9 is basically a patrol ship, slave-1 in size, basically - if it has any internal space, its small

>This factors in with the possibility that Rey is Luke's daughter.
Should probably be spoilering? though I'm not sure if that matters. I only saw the film yesterday like a loser.

Kylo seems to be using some powers we're not familiar with, ones off the scripted Jedi powers list. He's breaking into people's brains and paralyzing people and blaster bolts. Rey is... falling back on familiar tricks. She's unfolding her own powers which are more familiar like Mind Trick. Ones Obi-Wan used more often. Ones Luke would have learned.

It's HIGHLY probable that Rey is of the Skywalker bloodline. Her last name is left off on purpose. Anakin's lightsaber called to Rey, a representation of her family's legacy. Even her fighting style, which seems to lead with a lot of forward thrusts, is similar to the way Luke fought Vader in Return of the Jedi.

>>44369316

I gotta say it's really helpful, but I'll probably end up making my own deck plans. Thanks anyways m8

>>44369259
>>44369298

In Star Wars #12, Han, Leia, and Chewie all get lightsabers (because plot weirdness). Han notes he's having a hard time using it, Chewie just goes to town with no real issue, and Leia admits it's a difficult thing to wield.

It's not impossible for non-Force-sensitives to use a lightsaber, but unless you're experienced in melee combat as it is, you're probably going to have a difficult time with one.

>>44369364
Also; the Skywalker theme plays when Rey taps into the force to fight Ren.

>>44369400
Rey does have a lifetime of experience with her staff.

>>44369414

Theme is a good catch.

Hell, I was thinking Finn was going to have to step in and help her with those scavenger jerks, but she kicks ass handily... and then goes after him next.

It's highly probable that Rey isn't her actual first name either. Her salvaged pilot helmet was once owned by a Dosmit Raeh.

>>44369414
However, there is a vast difference between using a staff which can be held at and strike with any point on the weapon, and using a lightsaber, where 80% of it is plasma and all you have is a small grip.

True. Before the movie came out I was hoping she would eventually get a lightpike.

The Visual Dictionary mentions both the Remnanty and the First Order.

And treaties are mentioned for both.

>>44369174
She just added a little extra pull to Kylo's pull.

Interestingly enough despite Kylo's offer to teach her getting rejected hard, she actually learned a LOT from him.

Right after his mind-probe she figured out how to use a mind trick, and how to draw on his force pull and redirect it to her hand.

She seems to almost work on the same principle the Exile, Sith Assassins, and Darth Nihilus from KotOR 2 did back in the old canon.

>>44369519
It does have the downside of being really easy to rek by slashing the body of it.

>>44369500

Maybe she will. Might end up mounting that lightsaber on the end of her staff, or building her own. Finn's in a coma and in Resistance hands, and Rey is more than likely going to get some training. Given that the OT has three years between each movie, with VIII, we might well jump in three years after, possibly seeing the aftermath of the Republic's government being swept out from under it, as well as seeing what happens when the First Order starts making its formal incursion into Republic space.

It's also implied Kylos going to "finish his training," so we're going to see him get more powerful and her actually start her formal training.

Thats assuming you don't make the shaft out of Cortosis, Beskar, or Phrikk

Also, fun fact, lightsabers can't be Sundered, by rules, in F&D

Even pikes.

A player of mine flipped his fucking shit about that

>>44368642
Last question before I really set to work, do you want characters using Obligation rules from Edge of the Empire, Duty from Age of Rebellion, or Morality from Force and Destiny? Or none to start with?

>>44369537
Unless you get a special metal to coat it. Both cortosis and phrik are mentioned in the new canon, although the former is only mentioned in a weave (which disrupted a blaster bolt, spreading its energy out over the one wearing the weave) and the latter is only namedropped, with no details as to what its properties are.

I find that kind of silly too but why spazz out? It'll make it all the sweeter if you roll enough triumphs to get a destroy weapon option.

That is pretty dumb given that exact thing happens to Darth Maul.

>>44369581
And it happened to Anakin's saber in AotC as well.

>>44369581
Sunder is a lot easier to trigger for sabers on non saber weapons. It shouldn't be that easy to use on sabers, but fortunately you can still destroy a weapon with triumph results.

Depends on the game

Obligation works if you have a player party trying to work together, but their pasts keeping getting in the way

Duty works when everyone is pulling together toward a single cause, but going about it in their own ways

Morality only matters for Force Users

>>44369576
>>44369581
The point is, you can't use a lightsaber to end a lightsaber duel in one turn. Which is good.

And as the anon said, a triumph will net you a destroyed weapon, which is better from a narative standpoint

>Quick reminder Rey pulls the saber several yards on her first try moments after discovering she has any power at all.
This is a fair point

>Quick reminder Rey does this [mind trick] on her second try as her first use of the Force.
She experienced mind altering force powers firsthand, it makes sense that she learned the mind trick quickly
>Quick reminder Rey never had a mentor of any sort but is an excellent pilot, linguist, staff fighter, mechanic, shooter, Force-user and lightsaber duelist all on her first try
She scavenges ships for a living, is an experienced melee fighter, and lives on a planet with a lot of different languages in a small community so all those skills should come naturally to her.
Although using a lightsaber is a lot different from her staff, she would still have a heavy advantage over the average person.

>Quick reminder everyone loves Rey as soon as they meet her.
Both her and Finn suffer from this, and it's only really Han Solo who is weirdly agreeable to them.

>Quick reminder that while Kylo got grazed by the bowcaster, Rey was thrown several yards into the canopy of a tree then fell to the ground and wasn't slowed down at all.
Ray had a while to nap after her injury, and it was clearly using movie logic where you can survive being thrown anywhere as long as you don't break skin.

>>44369769
>She experienced mind altering force powers firsthand
No? That was a mind-reading skill.

>>44369769
>Both her and Finn suffer from this, and it's only really Han Solo who is weirdly agreeable to them.
Han being warm to Rey made sense to me. I interpreted that as Despite the whole smuggler scoundrel life he led I bet Han really liked being a dad. Even though he was running away from the "my son became an evil war criminal" feels to play smuggler with Chewie. He still had his paternal instincts from raising Ben Solo. Whether he was aware of it or not Han probably wanted another shot at fatherhood. By taking Rey under his wing he might've seen helping her out as a form of redemption, or it was just very easy for him to be fatherly towards a kid about his son's age.

>>44369798
More than close enough.

>>44369880

I caught both him and Leia giving Rey odd looks, they say one thing, but emote another, like there was a history there that we weren't getting. Either she reminded them of Ben, or they recognize her.

My personal theory is that Luke doesn't know he has a daughter, and part of his retreat is that whoever Reys mom was, she was also one of Lukes students - and disappeared, to be thought dead at the hands of Snoke. When instead, she left to hide Rey when Snoke emerged, so that he wouldnt go after her - Snoke instead went after Ben.

Could have been an outburst. Guy was pretty mad and was probably hoping that'd be the end of his bad news.

But it could be that a bunch of people know something about something else and we're set up for a BIG reveal for VIII, with a big conclusion to it all set up for IX, if they're following the formula.

>>44370006
I really hope it's the former, and Han and Leia are both just broken parents trying to cope with what became of their son by being paternal to Rey. I'd hate for it to be an "oh you're so and so's secret kid" thing with Han and Leia. But seeing as how Star Wars is due for another "I am your father" reveal moment it wouldn't surprise me.

>>44369340

They do, in F&D.

Basically, much like a lightsaber, except they require a Brawn of 3, and get a Defense bonus

>>44370271

Brawn 3 is high, right?

So you can't go for a graceful pike user, it's all brute force all the way?

Still, they sound nasty as hell for a defensive build. I think? I barely know the system.

Brawn of 3 usually requires a starting exp spend to up it, unless you play a race with a starting brawn of 3 or higher.

Black Dice are bad for people trying to hit you, so yeah, a Pike is basically the first part of a Defensive Build

Add that to either Shii-Cho or Soresu for double the fun, or let it be a counterpart to an offensive style, like Ataru or Makashi.

Even just Niman, and you make a relatively balanced character

>Jedi Guardian
Guardians get as their style, Soresu, which is THE defense style, designed to perfect block and soak everything until the opponent fucks up, and you can kill him - and by fucking up, running out of strain (gas), and basically just wear themselves out trying to get past your perfect defense

>>44370297
Having 3 Brawn doesn't prevent you from being "graceful." It's perfectly possible in FFG mechanics to have both 3 Brawn and 3 Agility.

Kylo's a rather pathetic darkside wannabe. There's nothing in his past to give him strength, no secret love tearing him apart, no desperate burning need or deep seated ambition or anything that actually fuels the dark side. Not even plain old passion.

Just petulant whining and self absorption, no wonder it didn't help.

I also like that his most iconic force move is Force Stasis, which is identified as a light side Jedi ability, makes perfect sense why he would use it based on only receiving Jedi training, Snoke seemingly didn't bother to even train him at all before throwing him into the galaxy as a blunt instrument.

Force powers are their own talent trees, essentially.

You buy the basic force power, and then you can spend exp to upgrade it with talent modules.

However, its a particularly costly endeavor to max out a single power - so you have a bunch of powers at their base, or focus on a couple and get really good with them

Also, regardless of how good the power is, they revolve around Force Rating, which is how many dice you roll to generate the power - starting characters get a rating of 1, and you have to buy talents to upgrade the rating, which are scattered about in the Career Specialization trees (sometimes near the top, and slight expensive, sometimes near the bottom and VERY expensive) - also, most Jedi characters top out at a force rating of 3

Well first off, the two-seater design of the second generation TIE fighter was a great success. The ability of each individual fighter to cover its back without sacrificing agility was a fine markup.

However I believe a different approach is needed. While the TIE philosophy served well in the past, I believe we must face facts that the X-Wing series has proven the superior machine. The TIE is cheaper to make, but when we lost them at a five to one loss ratio it's costing us more in the end.

Our Empire's reduced resources can no longer afford to lose materiel and trained pilots so wastefully, thus we must look for a new solution, or rather an old one.

My proposal draws upon the basic concepts behind the ARC-170 which served our Empire in its early years and earlier in the Clone Wars, with great distinction. Shielded, hyperdrive, heavily armored, with both heavy frontal weapons and a rear turret.

While not as fast in a dead sprint, the machine values suitability and a heavy weapons load. Also its size allows it to mount heavy ground or starship attack ordinance to act in a multirole capacity against enemy fighters, hardened ground targets and capital ships.

If we are to have a good chance of winning this war, we need to understand that our pilots lives and the resources which go into training them are too valuable to be spent so casually, it is time we make a machine that can match the Republic's best, head on, and win.
