Speaking as a Canadian with some idea of what goes on in our military and government. No way we'd actually be stupid enough to sell these to China over other allied nations from a political and social POV. Economically they'll just reproduce them while ignoring international patent laws like they al...

I doubt that Disney would bother fleshing out a villan such as snoke in this case. I expect this show to be even worse then rebels, but still hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I'll reserve judgement for when it actually comes out and I can watch it. Until then, I'll enjoy the look of the new troopers sand accept that in a galactic civilization your going to have variation.

I'd be more interested in how every single system in the entire galaxy ended up getting claimed (if they are, that's a level of infrastructure that we should of noticed, especially for local-ish systems like Alpha Centauri.) If we find they are lying once we actually send some scouts out, well diplo...

The stuff in the ocean is going to somewhat be an issue. Thing is depending on the numbers everything might get out-competed depending on the local sea life where the island is. Having a local crustacean-hunter devour all the ammonite spawn when they reproduce since they have obsolete-ish defense pr...

I doubt they are actually HTL's. They don't perform like them by having arcs and smaller ranges then what we have seen before.

Why am I not surprised. Its crap like this that damages the image of educators in general, which especially in the US needs help anyway. (At least compared to here)

Well, I'd honestly be surprised if they weren't using a proxy.

Arguably yes, but in a more sensor-orientated setting perhaps its best to be on the ship with the most survivability, since sensors and jamming is going to determine what info is available rather then location. Its Star Wars, sticking the commanding officer on the biggest ship seems to happen a lot....

In all honesty, either keep them somewhere secure no-one would bother looking and never mention them unless I seriously need a "get out of jail what the fuck happened to my life card". Or as much as I dislike to admit it do the unthinkable and attempt to enforce world unity. This probably ...

Considering that his projected lifespan was when he got diagnosed, he was absolutely amazing.

May you rest in peace Hawking. We won't forget you.

Yeah, Maelstrom. The interesting animal of a twin-tower 2.20-klick sleek battlecruiser design used by the republic as dedicated command/flagships.

Not the uknown Rothana destroyer/battlecruiser mentions, Think Living Force RPG.

Looking good Fractal. What comes after? Theres still the least-known clone-wars era republic battlecruiser class to do...No official image and a decent amount of info. including general shape, cost, class and details. (If anyone gets this I'll be impressed, its a really obscure legends vessel from a...

Heh, considering what province I live in this is somewhat Ironic. Honestly hope he Doesn't get elected but other then bug my Ontario friends not to...

This is why Canadian family dinners can get just as politically charged as US ones despite the stereotypes...

Look foreword to seeing how this goes, The original was a good read.

Okay, so we assume they have no previous knowledge of each other then. They just get brought in as individuals onto the alliance ships by Q.

Something like this is a bit more interesting from a versus point then the usual cherry-picking and dickwaving you get trying to do tech comparisons. Its more intuitive with a healthy dose of military tactics and psychology instead. One suggestion for the imperials would honestly be Vader, who when ...

Okay, thanks for the additional info. I wasn't particularly sure hence the maybe. Always good to get knowledge from someone who knows more.

The cruise missile is something difficult to intercept with a counter-missile, but something like a YAL system may be able to intercept it if given warning. Though the project was considered "cancelled"...

Plot demands that characters must survive, hence the incompetence of villains in any Disney movie... On a more serious standpoint, might be orders by Ren not to kill those ID's as Rey's companions (unlikely), or the gunners were focussing on the still-somewhat intact defense turrets rather then flee...

How intelligent is the system running the disks? Presumably it gets annoyed when the discs are captured or dissected and tries to prevent it? If not then we begin harvesting the power sources and technology from the disks, including the personal shields. Begin eventual adaptation of man-portable gra...

She obviously told some staff to fill the transports, but failing to tell the command staff (probably because they weren't her command staff) was asking for trouble in a resistance group, where trust forms a large basis of ability especially after the loss of literally the rest of the command struct...

Trailer looks to have a Dreadnaught Cruiser in the imperial fleet.

I honestly suggest Phoenix Rising, although the newer version is still in demo. Its a great mod with a high attention to detail and an intuitive upgrade system, changes the way space combat works by removing targetable hard points which is my one dislike. It makes ground fun though by effectively re...
