Oh dear, Isolder74, your Death Star is full of fatal weak points like a superlaser that could blow up if misfired, exposed heat sinks, capacitor arrays that are also exposed, thin armoured sections and the enemy can even remote hijack the battle station's control systems.:oops: Is it me or is that ...

This totally reminds me of when someone accused me of "trolling every Serenity thread I see" when I had in fact only ever posted in two threads related to the movie, neither of which had anything to do with the quality of the film itself. One was about it's financial woes, which I came int...

This one is overbudgeted, and takes the reaming on points that always gets you, but it's a very solid design. Click Hull: The 500km model, painted Sith black with a spacefoil attached. Power: The rapidly-becoming-standard Hypermatter Reactor 2, with decentralized thermal exhaust ports, a central rea...

Not to backseat mod, but we've got threads on this game going here and in G&C. Can we condense them or something, and save me flicking between the two?

Purple Pimpin' Death Star

Yes it's overbudget. But it's got max laser cannons and HTLs and no exhaust port and full quantum-wank armor. It's INVEENCEEBLE!

This is awesome. I made mine 500km with lots of laser cannons for shooting down pesky rebel fighters, and one of those "vaporize an atmosphere at interstellar ranges" uber ion cannons on top of the classic superlaser.

The snow and ice on Hoth were supposed to be many meters deep, weren't they? Assuming snowspeeder guns are anywhere remotely in the same ballpark as starfighter guns, they would have done very well to strafe the surface beneath the walkers feet. Nothing remains stable when you vaporize the ground ou...

To be honest, I always felt that it was a mistake for the EU writers to call it a transport and draw its as a basically hollow box. When I was younger, I had always envisioned the body of the walker to be filled with machinery. It really makes more sense when you think of it that way; its huge body...

The AT-AT is both a transport and artillery. They used it for blowing up a major installation at long range; that's a job for artillery. It's also sufficiently well-armoured to withstand long-range fire, but it can't fight very well in close. Point taken, though I still find it odd that a vehicle d...

'Course that begs the question how to incubate them if they're extinct... But if they're not technically extinct but the breeding population is too low for genetic diversity, it could help? I don't know...

You know, I'd start taking as many gorilla DNA samples as possible and storing them such that a future generation could clone up a viable population. We're not there yet in terms of tech, but we will be.

Don't be an idiot, Blake. The AT-AT is a transport, not artillery, and Luke Skywalker running up to any real APC would be blown into giblets, lightsaber or no.

Gotta figure Mace can take Anakin, but not quick enough to prevent Sidious getting to his feet and intervening, at which point Mace is fucked against them both.

The fact that you won't even consider the fact that Vader's skill and advanced cybernetic parts override his disability is also telling. That you're a complete imbecile. That's because I've watched the fucking movies. And just because you don't like it, it doesn't make it untrue. You are seriously ...

No it isn't. It disproves your bullshit theory. My "bullshit theory" is that aging twenty years and having all your arms and legs chopped off makes you a less effective fighter compared to your younger and more limbful self. The fact that you're even arguing this is telling. If he's tryin...

No, that's not my reasoning at all. That's an example of how maturity, skill and discipline can win against overconfident raw power. It's also god damned irrelevant. If they were trying to capture him alive by talking to him while they fought - yes. My ass. Not wanting to kill Luke just means the o...

Awesome work

Nice circular logic there. You're the one spewing bullshit. "Anakin couldn't overwhelm his middle-aged post-injury self, because he was once beaten by a healthy Jedi in his prime!" What the shit? Except, you know, that he can keep up with Luke who by your logic should be considerably fast...

His younger, overconfident self who got soundly beaten and mutilated by someone who was wiser.. older.. He was beaten in an epic fight by an Obi-Wan still at or very near his physical prime, an Obi-Wan who would have ran over ANH Vader like a speedbump. Yes and Anthony Daniels in his plastic suit c...

No, I'm talking about droid-brained missiles. Read the rest of the goddamn post.

What I'm saying is age is not a defining factor. You cannot simply dismiss Vader because he's middle-aged no matter how much you may want to. Against someone else, there might be wiggle-room based on whether the opponent was good enough to beat Anakin/Vader of any era. But not against a younger ver...

Obi-Wan spent years as a hermit on Tatooine presumably not training his skills and powers. Regardless, all you have to support this idiotic "age is utterly irrelevant to combat among Force-users" notion is the fact that the two most powerful Force-users in the galaxy remained formidable i...

Since when has age of all things impeded a Force user? The fact that some Force-users remain powerful in their elderly years does not mean age is irrelevant. Or do you seriously think that ANH Obi-Wan has no disadvantage in comparison to his RotS self? Or did I just imagine Palpatine making shish-k...

It's Vader-wank to think a middle-aged man with a history of massive injury is going to best his twentysomething pre-injury doppleganger in personal combat.

Was it Lucas who said Anakin had the potential to be twice as powerful Sidious, but instead ended up only about 80% as powerful as Sidious after being diced and grilled? Anyway, the only thing that might sink Ep2 Anakin against Vader would be inexperience. A Clone Wars-era Anakin rapes Vader sideway...
