I'm guessing it might be a new crew or team upgrade, the C-ROC has a Team Slot. There are also only like four team cards, 3 of which are in Tantive IV the other is in imperial gozanti, despite the fact that the Raider has team slots.

>>
Xth for my boyfriend
>>
>>51134155
>>51134209

C-ROC is [Crew x2][Hardpoint][Team][Cargo x3]

Merchant One adds one crew and one team slot, but loses a cargo. We already know it comes with Azmorigan, Vizago and Jabba cards, and the HLT is a hardpoint, and it's got at least one copy of two modification cards. It might come with x2 a Generic Crew, but also is likely to have x2 a new Team - unless it also has Ordinance Tubes. Since Scum only have one epic I suspect only x1 of the modifications though. Then it'll probably have a couple of cargo, some of which may be old. Cluster Bombs seems scummy, for instance.

>>51134242

Ah, okay. It was just first released in Tantive IV - I see. Their system could use a little clarification. I would wager then Scum are likely to get at least one on their own - maybe even a Scum Only to set them apart.

They completely missed the point of the backslash against the prequels and stuck to old familiar designs to pander to fans. Next question.
>>
>>51135096

Safety. Concept art from TFA shows they stretched some legs in the design standpoint then brought it back down for some recognizable visuals. We can but hope they try and stretch some legs in VIII and IX.

Also, the /FO and /SF are vast technological improvements slapped into the same frame shape (probably for symbolic reasons) and the T-70 is only like 15 or 20 years of development.

And in Legends they used X-Wings for like 40 years anyway, didn't even bother to say how they were cooler except StealthXs

>Next question.
If it took the Galactic Empire 20 years to build the original Death Star, which was the size of a small moon, how did the exiled First Order create the much larger Starkiller Base in just 30?

It would have likely taken 30 years just to carve out the massive laser aperture, into which the original Death Star could have probably fit.
>>
>>51135124
>>51135147
I guess if you want to come up with an in-universe justification for it there was less full-scale warfare going on to drive the development.

>>51135096
>ARCs evolved into X-Wings
No, Headhunters evolved into X-Wings. Headhunters were used by the Republic towards the end of the Clone Wars.

>Actis fighters evolved into TIE fighters
Just barely. The Empire needed a brand new type of fighter to suit a brand new sort of doctrine: longevity and pilot life isn't important, make them fast, cheap, and completely reliant on a host ship/base. They took a few nods from the Actis/V-Wing, but are otherwise a total new design; something that is demonstrably rare in the Starwars universe.

TIE fighters didn't really change from Empire to First Order, as the First Order was trying to emulate the Empire and attached ideas as much as possible. The Resistance/Republic didn't need to make any big change in ship usage, as the X-Wing (and derivatives) had at that point proven their quality of design as well had become a symbol of freedom.
>>
>>51135180

>If it took the Galactic Empire 20 years to build the original Death Star

And it took them like 6 to build DS-II.

I assume once you get past R&D problems, the logistics of fucking around with a planet on a galactic scale are chump-change.

Plus I bet money the Star Forge will be a thing again, otherwise why the fuck did the TFA official map mention Rakata Prime?
>>
>>51135209
A bigger budget- and thus a bigger economic risk taking -is JJ's excuse.

>>
>>51135247

Also, Actis is made by KDS. So the Actis evolved into the RZ-1 A-Wing. Canonically I don't think we know what sort of fighters Sienar was involved in making prior to the Imperial period, other than the Scimitar.
>>
>>51135180
It had never been done before, everything was being developed form the ground up.

As the other anon said, the DS-II took a fraction of that time.

It stands to reason that the First Order would have had access to some technical plans/knowledge to speed early development, but the sheer scale/new technology, as well as far fewer resources sort of justify the amount of time it took.
>>
>>51135299
I think that somewhere it's mentioned that Seinar basically ripped off the Actis/V-Wing from KDS. Could be making shit up, could be misremembering, but I think that's what happened.

Really, the TIE series is the only famous ship that I can think of that was a 100% fresh design out of basically nowhere.
>>
>>51135336

I don't know if it's explained, but if I had to guess SFS knew what the Empire wanted beforehand and was able to make the perfect bid design with the /LN, leaving KDS, Incom and Koensayr in the dust. And now they canonically improve on the design without much prompting, with the /IN appearing as just a natural evolution rather than a specific "We need to kill the X-Wing".

That was also the first 20 years of the Empire, which was a military powerhouse that ruled through fear and military numbers.

They never finished DS2. There were three years between AotC (in which Sheev acquires the Death Star plans) and RotS, at the end of which the DS1 is shown to be about halfway to the DSII.

>>51135301
Starkiller Base had never been done before unless George added a scene where the Death Star sucked in a sun to launch a hyperspace laser across the galaxy to destroy five planets at once and broadcast the scene in the skies of other planets in other systems.
>>
>>51135392

Speaking of which, I hope to god somebody has the heart or the brains to recannonize the TIE Hunter now that squints and Defender are pre-Yavin designs (even if the /D is just a prototype).

Because Strikers are cool and experimental, but they probably aren't coming back, so you're gonna need another cool enemy ship to be the serious business X-Wing killer when nuCanon finally moves past ANH.

What's the source on that ARC comment? The EotE book (which is canon) says that the Headhunter was essentially the predecessor to the X-Wing.

>bearing similarities=descendant
"no"

Starkiller base probably shared many similar design features with the Death Star. Screech and screech all you want, it won't make your silly foibles any more valid.

I mean, we can agree that SFS clearly stole some ideas to make the LN, but it's not like it's intrinsically a direct successor product. The next product the company made was the A, which was not bought by the Empire.

Also, those are S-foils on the Actis to shed heat.

Strikers will probably be in Rebels. There's also one in the Poe Dameron comic in an Imperial shipyard that some former Imps use to jumpstart a group of Empire Remnants a year after the battle of Jakku.

Eh, but the Striker is an experimental model - and depending on the direction of Rebels has no place in it. You literally have both the IN and sa models made and rigged, and now the Defender - unless you're going to do a rebels episode which is Hera's POV on Scarif there's no real purpose.

It's also said to be very sluggish out of atmosphere without something for the ailerons to interact with - it is not going to be the X-Wing killer.

But imagine a ship with FOUR Ailerons which can also have the weapon configuration of the /IN, and instead of ground-only Proton Bombs, you might field multirole Proton Torpedoes - all from a single elite pilot, no need for a back seater!

Did they suck up a third sun to create the sun-sucker to create Starkiller Base?

Actually now that I think about that might be a better angle for the First Order. They have some kind of secret sun-sucking tech (an actual Star Destroyer) and just go around smothering stars to build their shit.

I don't see how else the galactic equivalent of Taiwan could do these kinds of things.

The point he was making is that in star wars massive industrial production is very much a possible thing.

As others pointed out we see DS 1 in RotS. So it took a lot less than 20 years for most of the gross production.

Being able to build something like starkiller base is in keeping with Star Wars, not a violation.
The problems with it are that it's not a creative story element

And seeing the beams splitting in another solar system, the whole are effected should look like a single star.

No, that's the power to blow up many planets across space. DS-I's reactors firing on all cylinders can trash one, or just fuck it's day up on a single reactor. This is an extant technology, it's just power - only the laser itself was the hard part.

What I'm saying is even if SW doesn't comment on it much, we're talking about a whole galaxy-spanning sci-fi here, with some CRAZY yields on power generation, labor, raw materials, etc. Y'know, in Harder Sci-Fi civilizations at this scale are building ringworlds and dyson spheres and other crazy bullshit, the First Order being able to build some giant mechanical components and sink them into a large moon or something really should not shock us.

Not really. I mean, nu-canon sure but not how I always conceptualized Star Wars (and I guess that's a fair argument, just not one I care about).

The massive construction projects that show up from time to time were always the work of hyper-advanced precursor civilizations that have long since become irrelevant, their millennia-old feats of engineering being the last, hidden testaments of ages long past, ages of as-yet-unsurpassed glory. Even Coruscant was originally built by the Gree.

The ONLY exception to this is the Death Star, and to me at least that kind of marked the apex of Coruscant-dominated galactic civilization. It marked (or would have marked) the ascension of Imperial civilization into the pantheon of great civilizations, perhaps the subject of another saga, thousands of years later.

The construction of such a thing was the badge of a truly advanced people in a galaxy of wondrous technology, the culmination of an entire civilization. Now it's just "eh, by hard sci-fi standards it should be possible" but Star Wars was never hard sci-fi, it is science fantasy and these things used to have grander implications than they do now.

So even if you're correct about nu-canon, I can also be of the opinion that this decision is in many ways a step down from Legends.
>>
>>51136200
A heavily modified version of the Star Forge concept, maybe. As far as we know, Starkiller Base was a one-of-a-kind deal and its parts were far, far larger than anything the old Star Forge produced. The Star Forge was built for mass-producing large quantities of disposable, shitty infantry-scale droids and small starships, not custom-ordered parts for planet-sized installations.

iirc the reason in-universe for the X-Wings was that they were the surplus models that the Resistance was able to buy with the limited operating capacity they had.

That's a good start but I'd like to see something even wilder. I like the black paint job (because I guess that's the only thing the FO has to differentiate themselves) but I wish it said more about them as an organization.

If I were in charge I would portray the FO as being all about hatred/revenge. The Empire had all the prestigious trappings of the British Empire and the idea of bringing peace, order and civilization to the galaxy to fall back on. If I had to salvage the FO concept, I would say they're controlled by people who got massively fucked over by the destruction of the Empire/installation of the New Republic and they just really want to go nuclear.

So the Empire had very tidy, mass-produced ships made of basic shapes because they were all about order and structure, whereas the Rebels were pretty scrappy. I'd make the FO designs all about aggression through asymmetry, harsh angles (like Krennic's shuttle), contrasting colors and a generally rougher silhouette.

Well, this was also him in the Upsilon. If he's actually a good pilot in a snubfighter, I could imagine them readjusting his number, like how Poe went from PS8 to PS9. He also has the Elite slot (something Red, Gold and Gray leaders STILL don't have) so you can bump him to 8 with VI.

I know, I'm joking - because it's funny for Kylo. Even more funny when Leia is inevitably a pilot, and hopefully with a PS7. So All his family can be rated higher than him.

>Okay, so the argument is now just about your head canon feeling on the universe - which is irrelevant. I leave you to each his own, but we cannot argue if your subjective tonal opinion is better than my subjective tonal opinion.
As I said, that's fair. I've always felt Star Wars had such a huge variety of material of such differing notability that it was one of the few franchises where you didn't have to take the bad with the good - from the time you bought your first action figures you were making your own Star Wars out of what you liked about it.

One day, some bad spaze nazi dudes were causing trouble in their neighborhood.

Leia Organa said "that's not cool bro", and nobody in an elected office listened to her, because that's not how you get elected senator or Ord Mcbumfuck for the 15th time in a row.

So she went out to D'Qar, stood upon the tallest hill, and let out a mighty cry, like the song of a Valkyrie, and lo' did all the baddest dudes left with balls in the New Republic descend like angels upon wings of Xs to aid her, and punch space Hitler - because that is way cool.

Tell me about the rule of two under Palps. How does he reconcile Maul AND Dooku? Who do all the inquisitors not count? How many other red-sabre-toting baddies are there really?
>>
>>51136959

Well, if it's anything like the regular previews, we probably will have to wait until it's closer to release for a proper preview. C-ROC is late Q1 this year, so that's March, it might be until Feb for a full preview.
>>
>>51137018
Well, he thought Maul was dead, so he got Dooku instead.
The inquisitors don't count because they're not actually Sith, just dark side users.
Also he has purposely trained them wrong, as a joke
>>
>>51137081
I'm really supposed to believe that Dooku was only trained for as long as Anakin was between 1 and 2?
>>
>>51137081
>>51137018

Inkys are basically anti-Jedi canaries. If they croak, then they know to send the real shit. Otherwise they're good for killing old people and small children, and occasionally half-ass Jedi like Kanan (before Kanan became a fully assed Jedi).

Maul, being a proper Sith apprentice with like 20+ years of experience being MAD in him was too much for Inquisitors also.
>>
>>51137118
He was a high level Jedi by that point remember
>>
>>51137146
He wasn't a knight, and Dooku was almost a match for Yoda.
>>
>>51137118
Well, yes. He was a member of the jedi order up till then. He quit after qui-gon died

>>
>>51137192
>>51137146
Alright, so if we accept that Palps only ever had Maul, Dooku, then Vader one at a time, how was Dooku allowed to have Ventress, Savage Opress, and Vos as his own apprentices?
>>
>>51137315
Cause backstabbing is the way of the Sith
Remember when Vader tried to get Luke to join him so they could kill the Emperor
>>
>>51137338
Generally you're supposed to overthrow the previous sith master before taking on your apprentice in earnest, though. It's not like Vader intended to have Luke out hunting Jedi for years before turning on the emperor, like Dooku had Ventress doing.
>>
>>51137385
In Legends, at least, it was handwaved by Dooku not sufficiently educating them in Sith doctrine for them to be considered Sith. Like the Inquisitors, they were merely Dark Jedi-tier in terms of Dark Side know-how.

He wasn't. Palpatine himself tells Dooku to cut off the bullshit and get rid of Ventress lest he wishes to be considered a rival rather than an apprentice.

Savaj and Vos are both secret projects meant to replace Ventress.

I agree with you, but isn't that what we got? At least for the FO navy, the army's designs are dogshit.

It might be heretical, but I love pic related. It has most of what you said, aggression through asymmetry, harsh angles, and an extremely rough silhouette. It's a Star Destroyer that went deep, deep into uncharted territory, and came back all wrong. It's a vehicle that has been somehow corrupted by the unknown. The only thing I would have changed thematically, is making it smaller, and having two sister sister ships that look vastly different, to show that these things aren't made on an assembly line somewhere, that their almost born from conflict.

As for the TIE's sure they're identical, but you could easily chalk that up to the TIE being like the AK-47 of starfighters. Kylo's shuttle also mostly fits the aesthetic you describe, it's really only the FO army that fails aesthetically, I think.

Well, the new Sienar supposedly reorganized to get around trade restrictions, they're probably shuffling around, still just counting that empire money. The FO and SF is some of the easiest R&D phase they ever had to do, surely. Resurgent battlecruisers are made by another KDY spin-off called "Kuat-Entralla Engineering" - might be another Rothana Heavy Engineering situation? Outer Rim money is still money

At this point I'm sure it will either be some bullshit excuse to bring back the Sheevster or some other dumb bullshit like "he was a normal guy all along" or "he's actually really tiny XDDD"

>>51138530
Yeah, I like the Resurgent too. They could have done more, but it is what it is.

But I still think the TIE is a cop out. The EU showed so many ways to evolve that concept and they could have taken it in some really wild directions.

That one of the things you dislike about it makes no sense.
While everyone is basically agreeing with you that it wasn't creative, and superweapons are overdone, multiple people have shown that building something like starkiller base in a few decades fits well within the capacity for production shown in Star Wars.

If you don't like that capacity existing, you have a problem with the Star Wars universe, not just TFA.
>>
>>51138741

Oh yeah, lore levels is balls in TFA. It's all very shallow and obvious parallels for all the mass market audiences. Ultimate Guides and shit are kinda-sorta filling some stuff in, but it's taking a while. But all the background shit for the OT wasn't written overnight either, I guess.

Snoke is fucked up by the dark side but I don't think he was human to begin with. He's supposedly like nine feet tall.

>>51138881
If you consider being able to build that fast "hack writing" it's not diluting star wars, it's part of the original mix.

Also, sci-fi, they can build as fast as the original premise states. Starkiller base is within those bounds.
>>
Snake has the appearance of having taken two saber strikes to the face, so combining that with his vendetta against Luke & Co. I'd guess he had a hand in creating the revived order before he gets fucked up. Maybe he was an undercover Inquisitor looking to eventually undermine and kill Luke while taking over the younglings, but was found out. So cue battle, defeat and death presumption. Now he knew about Ben and his curiosity about his grandfather, and uses that to corrupt him; your uncle, father, and aunt unceremoniously MURDERED him and the emperor because of petty self reasons. So now you've got a kid whose training has only been on the Force, give him the knowledge of how to create a saber using Sith holocrons, give him grand aspirations to live up to his grandfather, etc.

>>
>>51139692
There are technically three core rulebooks (Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny, but all operate on the same rules and are compatible with each other), so that might help you find it.

Bits and pieces of the FFG 40k rpg design peeks through (skills & talents, mostly, also the critical injury table which does use percentile dice).

Once you get used to it, it handles pulpy cinematics very well, and the "you can fail but still get a benefit or succeed and still get major problems) has provided some of the most fun non-combat challenges I've seen.

>>51139776
It feels like they took what they learned from 40k and applied it to this system (compatibility within the 3 brands from the start)

>>51139826
Edge of the Empire is for smugglers, bounty hunters, and other fringer scum

Age of Rebellion is for military operations and more specifically the Rebel Alliance (though there's a houserule chart to convert Rebel duty to Imperial)

Force and Destiny is Jedi School and fully integrates the Force whereas the other two have it more in the periphery.
>>
>>51139826
Force and Destiny is about Force Users, its special rule is the morality system.

Age of Rebellion is about Rebel scum & other military sorts, its special rule is the duty system

Edge of the Empire is for playing criminals and scruffy Nerf-herders, its special rule is obligation.

The three lines are divided along the three 'themes' of star wars. They also each have a different narrative mechanic, but that can be interchanged and I've even had players with multiple ones:

Edge of the Empire: is about smugglers, bounty hunters and other types of scum. Their unique mechanic is Obligation, which must be periodically paid off.

Age of Rebellion: Is primarily military based, and the game likewise has a very strong martial bent. Their mechanic is Duty which is built up and then exchanged by player actions. Note: I haven't played AoR, but AoR characters have pretty seamlessly fit into my other games.

Force and Destiny: The line about jedi and force stuff, unique in that all characters start with a force die. Their mechanic is Morality which rises and falls based on the player actions.

The B1 always had a special place in my heart: they really have no business to be battle droids, with most of their programming specialized towards security, and they aren't even programmed with false confidence: they have the unfortunate situation of being sentient enough to realize their predicament, but expendable enough to be able to do nothing about it. And the worst part about the B1? It's not even any physical deficiency that causes them to be so ineffective; Mister Bones is proof that with proper software they're able to be as capable as any clone trooper on their current frames, and even Episode I shows that physically they're at least as strong as a Gungan warrior, being made of metal and all.

Would it really have killed the CIS to develop more sophisticated combat software and retroactively install it onto existing units? They wouldn't even have to change the way the B1s were assembled, and it would have been more effective than the B2.

Depends on their budget.
Old clone wars surplus or older fighters should be floating around in semi-huge quantities for the better off, if they're really skint they might opt for converted freighters with a couple of extra guns, stripped down of unnecessary junk (cargo, hyperdrive, consumables) bit better armour and call it a day.

Really rich motherfuckers sitting on a gold mine or two could probably hit up the corp-sec and get their own fighters rolled out for whatever specs they deem necessary

Headhunters, mostly. They're the most common fighter aside from maybe TIEs. Y-wings or Cloakshapes or CEC fighters or R-41s or old Deltas or surplus V-wings or Etas, if not those. Possibly IRDs if they've bought them from the CSA, or belbullabs if they're outer rim. Preybirds if you feel like something rare.

But the major armament of small PDF/customs services are gonna be gunboats, mostly freighter-sized (maybe even straight up armed freighters on the low end) with a few corvette sized

Make Wedge Great Again guy here,

This did better than I thought it would. In the first game I was against IG-B with Asajj, which was wt up to pretty much hard-counter mine, and I made some big mistakes starting off. But the U-Wing did some work with the opening volley and then put in 6 points of APL damage over the next few turns of gridlock hell, it didn't miss any rolls. Once it got loosened up I eventually killed IG and got Asajj down to 6, Wedge had turned around and started putting hurt down, but too late due to time. The second game was against an Autoblaster-Hera Ghost with a standard-issue HLC Dash, the Ghost got lunched pretty quick and Dash's attacks were a little sub par. Biggs went down after putting the Ghost to 3 hull left, the U-Wing finished it off which by then still had 1 shield, and after re-grouping with an untouched Wedge eventually chased Dash into a corner and burned him down, but not before Dash took his vengeance on the U-Wing.

I don't think I'd survive a hot meta tournament but it's a fun squad that I'll definitely bring out again. You've got to respect the U-Wing's bite.

I bit the bullet and watched Bombad Jedi to get to the Nute Gunray arc in Clone Wars, it was pretty much exactly as bad as I expected. I don't know what possessed them to think an episode about all the least interesting characters would be enjoyable but whatever.
Gunray arc was also a little disappointing since they never seem to really be able to balance Grievous and Asaaj being threatening and also completely incompetent. You can't really open the episode with Palp/Dooku straight up saying "hey fuckwads quit failing at everything" and then cut straight to Republic people saying "hey look out for those guys, no one jedi can handle them".

Do Asaaj and Grievous ever get their shit together?

Yeah, they've been both at various points - but relevantly canon the core TIEs utilize solar power collection to save on battery space (or something like that). Mining TIEs actually have less power and altered maneuverability profiles because they cut out part of the panels for increased visibility.

If it weren't for the fact that the Light Syck is about to be a thing, I'd say they're a shoe in for S&V in the next wave.

>>51142390
I don't know that I'd say it sucks, it's definitely not amazing but I generally have at least enjoyed the episodes. It's just annoying how the writing is constantly at odds with the action like having Ahsoka fight Asaaj solo pretty competently and then saying to her master there's no way she could win alone. Or how Kit Fisto tells fish guy, a brand new Jedi Knight, how Grievous is too dangerous for them to fight so they should run but then Grievous struggles against fish guy solo using all his lightsabers and has to cheapshot him with a blaster.
Same shit to a lesser extent in basically every fight scene between droids and clones, it's like no one on the staff heard of "show don't tell" so they just keep telling you the enemies are threats while showing either complete fuckups or just generic balanced combat.

>>51142695

I think it'll depend what you want out of your list.

A naked banana pirate and a "Light" Cartel spacer are both 12 points. Banana Z has +1 HP, -1 green, and will not cause endless shenanigans when it takes a hit to Hull. It also has it's Missile, Illicit and Mod slot open. Syck will have two more green moves (so all banks are green 1, 2, 3), +1 AGI, has both evade and barrel roll, and has two different Ks. But, it literally cannot be upgraded in any other way, and every time you take that first hit to hull, that's the chance of the insta-kill when you draw Direct Hit.

So I don't know if you'll see a lot of Light Sycks as list fillers, but you can totally expect people to try 8 Syck lists.
>>
>>51142788
>>51142695

Oh, forgot to add, Sycks also have +1 PS, which gives them advantage over, say, somebody running a swarm of Zs or of Academy Pilots.

Or, for a cost increase, Tansarii Point Veterans will be 15 points light, and are PS5 with an EPT, leaving them wiggle room for Crackshot or Attani Mindlink.
>>
>>51142756
I get much less impress with barrel roll on low PS craft.
The z-95s key upgrade slot isn't the missile, it's the illicit. BMST is nice bonus for 1 pt, and EMP device might be huge.
Evade and Agi, and auto crit Vs extra shield is going to be a thing.

I'm still most curious about the new pilots, a high PS that can really take advatage of heavy scyke would be co

>>51143151
Enormous detonations have several phases, which Rogue One doesn't really deal with.

First phase is the beam passing through the atmosphere. The Death Star's weapon is fast - much faster than most blaster bolts. Ideally, it's going to release all of its energy into the ground. There's no point in cooking the planet's atmosphere.*

But some energy is still absorbed by the atmosphere, resulting in a bright white flash and shockwave. This first shockwave will probably be enough to rattle windows or down light aircraft, but not enough to kill unless you're right next to the beam's path. If you are... well, you're fucked anyway.

Then the beam hits the surface and starts dumping energy. Rock becomes molten, then plasma. It can't expand - not immediately - because there's still energy from the beam flowing into it, so it compresses. When the beam stops there's an almighty explosion. Suddenly we're dealing with real-world physics. From nukes to asteroids, this is well-trod ground.

The first thing to hit is light. This is mostly harmless, but it's bright. You could potentially be blinded.

Then, several minutes later, the pressure wave. An expanding bubble of air compressed by the force of the explosion comes along and knocks out every window and, in this case, probably crushes every head. This is most likely the wave we see at the end of Rouge One, carrying water with it. We don't see one on Jakku for some reason. I guess having everyone die from "sudden head exploding" syndrome was less cool than the planet's crust wobbling. So it goes.

Anyway, the pressure wave probably kills nearly everyone. You can survive it by being in a pressurized container that can endure suddenly going from 1atm to several hundred atm, then you might be OK. Maybe an escape pod... but then you also have to deal with the debris and aftereffects of the pressure wave. There won't be any reverse pressure wave - there's no longer anything for it to reverse into, as the planet is exploding slightly.

So now everything is flattened, trees are denuded, windows are gone, buildings are gone, anything not nailed down is /hell/ and gone... what's next?

Ground wave.

The ground wave is what we saw, in a very stylized form, on Jakku. It's the continent rolling under pressure. It's a bad thing, and it will kill you no matter what.

Want to try and fly away? The air is moving at the same time as the rocks below it, so good luck! It's not quite so easy.

So yeah, if your characters survive the pressure wave, they need to IMMEDIATELY
a) find a ship to that is still intact
b) get away before the ground wave hits
c) evade the fleet in orbit

I'd estimate that they have 10 minutes to accomplish a) and b) at /most/.

Here's a good video for scale.
https://youtu.be/7mV0Lt2PUjI?t=180

Note that, at ~3:07, the pressure wave hits and kicks up some dust.

*I wonder if they ever considered using the Death Star in "airburst" mode? Fire it through the planet's atmosphere like a tangent like to the surface. It'd be catastrophic, but not structurally destructive.
>>
>>51143327
I like the idea of them only having so much time to get out of doge before the rest of the detonation reaches them in a fiery wave of molten rock, considering how far away it actually hit the planet.

I am willing to give some leeway to the situation, considering the scenario of some rebels being alive and escaping the planet is pretty much non existent, but i think it would be a fun way to kick off a campaign.

You could have a scenario where their "first mission" is a flashback to some other Rebel raid. Let them get the feel for the system when the stakes are lower. Develop the characters a bit.

And then cut to them immediately after the weapon fires. Tell them what it looks like, and that they have only a few minutes to escape. Keep their options open and don't spoonfeed them an obvious exit, but make sure they constantly know they are under time pressure.

They might even pick up a few disillusioned Imperials on the way out. Being vaporized by your own side does tend to cause some self-reflection about one's career choices.

Weather on /any/ planet hit by the Death Star but not destroyed is going to be really, really fucked up for a long time.

Ironically, hurricanes require a certain degree of stability to form. Impacts like this are the opposite. You'd get terrifying, short-lived storms at the atmosphere redistributed itself.

Maybe pull them back a bit so they start off more in line with Atris, doing their own thing and eventually succumbing to the dark side as the party keeps undermining her smaller operations, going from "The jedi are wrong, here's how it should be done" to "It's us or them, the galaxy isn't safe as long as they exist"
>Slave gladiator who led a successful owner-killing revolt and has now spread that into an interplanetary crusade where anyone free is seen as an oppressor to be killed in the name of liberty.
Yawn. The other two have a slippery slope they can slide down. They can either start off reasonable in pursuit of their goal (like the master) or the goal can be so ground changing they don't even need to justify it (like immortality). Mr I-execute-people-without-trial-because-I-got-triggered is neither. He's introduced as a crusader, the party will put him down and there's no point him trying to justify it to them because the party damn well know what he wants, he's just being fucking dumb about it. Even if he's been corrupted by the darkside it's less "doing what needs to be done in his mind" and more "doing what's easy because he's too much of a bumbling halfwit to enact positive change on the galaxy"

Stellar-Sphere has got to be the research behind Starkiller - I mean it is a sphere that sucks in stellar bodies...
Warmantle I am hoping are just the tailoring specs for Krennic's new cape. Probably though some later mk or spec issue stormtrooper armour for a plot later.

Warmantle could be some form of combat exosuit.
Dark Trooper project or Galak Fyyar's Cortosis exo-armor?

The HK-series is from Czerka.
>>
>>51145546
No, I thought Revan created the HK line for some reason starting with designation HK- 47, Czerka just built a hidden manufacturing facility on Telos, and co-opted schematics of 47 and improved on them. or am i missing something?

Revan made 47 using the schematic of the 24, with his own improvements and adjustments
>>
>>51145714
Then Czerka, took his shit, and improved on that?
>>
>>51145740
Nah, instead Revan worked with them to design the 50 model. Then they refined that into the 51, taking the 50 from being a mass murder minimal effort series into a precise assassin series

The HK-50 series in the TSLRCM, were organicidal, and i liked that Czerka wasn't really involved in HK-51 series with that installed.

Saw some youtube girls in russia dressed up as twileks doing pole dancing once.
Fairly sure that fractured parts of my brain that's not otherwise filled with blotting out nagging relatives, thinking about circuit diagrams, floating bits of grenade shrapnel, stuff about guns and the wonders of the internal combustion engine.

I'm pretty much a ruined unit at this point

Actually Redback, it's in Aus though I'm not sure whether you live out in woopwoop or close enough to civilisation to make one of the shows. But they appear to have at least a pair of their own twileks. Why not end it and ruin the rest of your brain?

Nothing is discontinued. If they're out it's most likely because they're being reprinted and eventually restocked.

How common are shellshocked Jedi? All the ones we see in TCW don't seem to be to affected by the Clone Wars. Would one make a good N/PC?
>>
>>51147512
Eh, Barriss is kind of shellshocked in a way.

But really that sort of reaction to war is pretty rare in SW in general.
>>
>>51147512
I'd imagine all of their training to disconnect from emotion probably helps protect them.
>>
>>51147512
Weren't there a bunch of pretty fucked up shellshocked padawans in one of the old Clone Wars comics?

I'm sure i remember at least one or two.
>>
I think lore could use a few more Jedi damaged by the war.

I used to RP a Jedi who fled, rather than continue his duty as a "Jedi General" and renounced the order. He spent decades as a hermit, seeking absolution for the horrors of war.

Not just the Generals. Imagine how fucked the generation of padawans that lived through the Clone Wars would have been, had the Republic not been doomed to fail. They would have thought the shit they went through was normal, for them to be leading armies and waging wars. Even if Palps wasn't intending to have them all murderated, I don't know if the Order would have survived the Clone Wars.

Wow FFG. I'm not even mad, just wondering wtf you're doing.

>>51148298
They probably would have survived, albeit at a heavy cost to manpower. The Clone Wars, however, would have likely caused the next generation of the OJO to double down on the turbo-Vulcan emotionless schtick.

Or been butchered up as more and more masterless padawans sought out less strict Jedi traditions, like the one i can't remember the name of but who pretty much followed the pre-no-fun-allowed jedi code

What online service do you use to run FFG campaigns? Back in the day I used to use Google hangouts with the dice app, but it's way different now and I didn't like it that much to begin with anyways.

I see that you can use that in Google Hangouts, but I'd prefer a longer term solution (Google is removing third party applications from Hangouts by April).

>>51149556

Yeah, it's called "open it in a browser". Or DL it stand alone. It operates just fine.

No, not to my knowledge. That's never personally held back anybody in my group - though. Sharing it really isn't that hard if you feel the need to double-check anybody, and you're going to find more problems than solutions the other way, sounds like.

Because most of the Jedi we saw in TCW show were masters. But quite a few of them were affected. Barris, Krell, the Grand Inquisitor, and Fisto's Padawan. You could argue it was for Ahsoka too
