I can see that. But its moot anyways, obviously the forums are now the source for the most up-to-date stuff, rather than the main site. It's 'moot' that you used an obviously out of date page on an obviously out of date site and then got cranky and blamed the site maintainer when it was pointed out...

So he didn't update it for a couple years. Why should I assume anything's changed? Not to sound asshole-ish or whatever, but I mean, he's got time to post, why wouldn't he update the site if there's a significant change like that? :? There's a whole update page with a big fat date on it, and each p...

Right, forgot about that.

Correction: He's been called the Jedi Battlemaster by sources of ambiguous canonicity.

Or something like that.

True.

But nevertheless, now I'm reduced to quoting a forum instead of a website. For some reason that just feels a lot less reputable (when dealing with intelligent people this would be irrelevant, but, well--yeah...), but whatever, it'll have to do.

Yes. The movies.

Through scaling from various shots of it over Endor, we can determine that its on the order of 800 km in diameter.

Eh. I'd lay the blame for that on Wong, then. I was under the impression that the main site was accurate...

EDIT: Ok, the photorp quote says its an upper limit. But nevertheless, I can't think of any occasion in TNG upon which they were used to knock down shields.

Mind you, I haven't watched that much, either...

The main website . :lol: Their phasers appear to induce some kind of chain reaction in matter. Against shields, they seem to be tactically equivalent to lasers in the range of 30,000 TW ( 7 megatons per second ). Against dense armour, their effectiveness is much lower, in the 1-10TW range (1 kiloton...

Given that at least AQ capships regularly fall to midrange KT omnidirectional photorps, it's conceivable that Wars fighters in squadron strength or up could kill them with GUNFIRE. Yikes! I realize they got nothing on Imperial ships anyways, but didn't Wong figure that capital ship phasers were som...

Indeed. A far better example of Jedi tactics comes from the KOTOR era. There we see Jedi soldiers, and its fairly impressive. Battle armored robes, personal shielding units, cybernetic implants, and in some cases, power armor. As for tactics/stratagems, I'll direct you to Darth Revan. The Jedi unde...

Come on man, you can't leave everybody hanging after you throw something like that out... Seconded; how in the hell did you arrive at that conclusion, Flagg? His constant description of the uber-piece of ass Ariel as "feline". Plus his bringing up the cat-people from TOS as many times as ...

Doubtful. I mean, Imperial starfighters carry weapons powerful enough to damage even the most heavily-shielded Trek starships, unless I'm mistaken.

How could it be using an ion drive for FTL? Doesn't it work on the same principle as a conventional rocket engine (albeit somewhat differently)?

Ah, alright. Well, I did a search and it didn't seem to turn up anything. Thanks.

well we never get clear view of the impacts to the ground and as Echo base is build on a glacier (IIRC), those could impacts wouldn't be that visible unless very close (as there's nothing to burn). Well, yes. But I can't even find any craters in the aftermath... :? Plenty of wreckage, but to be hon...

Hello folks, glad to be back and posting here again. Used to have an account, but I suspect it got vaped for inactivity. General George or somesuch. At any rate, enough of this intro crap. :mrgreen: I was watching the Empire Strikes Back the other day and couldn't help but notice that the AT-AT's bl...
