Re: STGOD 2020/21 Main Game
[OOC: there are a couple side lines here remaining from VX-145 and I writing this together on the same doc. I left them in for flavor, and also because I'm lazy.

Re: STGOD 2020/21 Main Game
Endeavour twisted in space, a flurry of white-hot steel needles punching a hole through where the destroyer would have been with a less adept helm. Her turrets spat back, red fire, needles of its own and a dozen other strange projectiles, and her sisters rolled carefully around to follow in her wak...

Re: [TV Series] Ahsoka Discussion Thread [Unmarked Spoilers!]
The rest of 7th fleet was destroyed in the Rebels finale. The destruction of the blockade was confirmed in-episode, There were just the 3 ISDs hovering over the city left by the time the purgill arrived on scene, and it very much looked like they destroyed the other two. When Thrawn yelled 'get me ...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 1 YEAR AND GOING.
I wonder if anyone has done work on drones that can both fly and navigate underwater...? Fly over the obstacle(s) (or hop over it like a flying fish) then onward to the target. The two main issues I can think of here are physics and energy. Flying through air is a different proposition than going t...

Re: [TV Series] Ahsoka Discussion Thread [Unmarked Spoilers!]
Having seen all of Rebels I can't really say how much NOT having done so would affect one's understanding of Ahsoka, but so far I can't see any Rebels knowledge that would be really required to understand it. There may have been some extra enjoyment for Rebels regulars (like the Phantom and Chopper...

The way that backdoor was described in TTT it very much DID sound like something hardwired into the system so a wipe wouldn't do bupkis. Of course we're talking about lifting a computer core from one ship (typically, an ISD) and mounting it in a completely different one (a Mon Cal Cruiser or whatev...

Re: Trump and the Jan 6 investigation
It seems a failure of US law that it assumes the President is a just servant of the nation and that pardons issued by the holder of that office should be above all other checks and balances. Perhaps Trump's current actions may force this to be examined and laws drafted to curb future abuse of such ...

Re: New Star Wars Films announced. Plus Ahsoka
I am wondering how much of "Heir to the Empire" they're going to use in Ahsoka. It does look like they're going to have the Sith (clone?). He's got a different name according to the subtitles, so we know that he's not Joruus C'Baoth. That said, there's nothing stopping them from simply fi...

Re: No Disintegrations
As far as the disintegrations go: We see in Mandalorian that bounties are assigned with 'tracking fobs', presumably connected in some way to biometrics. We also see that Mando's amban rifle is capable of disintegration, but there's still organic matter, so one can conjecture that in the case of disi...

Re: Anyone else watching Obi-Wan Kenobi?(Spoiler thread)
Revenge does wonder for the will to live. We have a history of darksiders surviving fatal blows out of pure spite. Considering that afaik Clone Wars is still canon... Darth Maul survives being cut quite literally in half. Pretty sure a lightsaber to the gut isn't that much of a barrier to survival ...

Re: (Doctor Who) 14th Doctor Cast
29 years old? And he plays a teenager on Sex Education? Damn. He's good. And well preserved. That'll go a long way towards a more ageless Doctor, especially after Capaldi.
I'm already dreading the likely *massive* backlash though. People are already whining about it on the book of faces...
