Star Wars Discussion / Casting rumor for Episode 7: Adam Driver
« on: March 12, 2014, 12:33:28 AM »
First and foremost: Yay the forum is back!  Ok now that is out of the way, who the heck is Adam Driver and why is he being bounced around as a choice for Star Wars?

I have become bland with my fleet builds and am looking for new ideas.  Currently I try to build a Vic-II with two Strike-Carrack pairs as the base of the fleet, replacing the Vic with an Acc or extra Strike-Carrack Pair if I don't have money.  From there I add a few Lancers to kill the pesky Republic fighters and a few Defenders because they are too awesome not to be bought.  But now I am bored with this build and need new plans as my other idea is to sit and wait until I can buy SSDs and ISD-IIs, jump a ISD into the map, wait for the fog to clear, then drop everything right on top of the Rebels.  More boringness.  So if anyone has genius strange ideas for fleets please share.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / New units' purpose
« on: January 07, 2014, 09:53:36 PM »
2.1 is here! So now that we know what is in it, does anybody have opinions on the new stuff.  Mine are this: V-19: Awesome looking and fun to play with but what does it do.  Lucrehulk: Expensive and donuty. Like the Venator more.  Visvia: Awesome. Needs its tri-masers to have giant death beams of doom. EotH Dreadnaught: Awesomeness covered in awesome that shoots awesome. Imperial Civil War GC: No EotH, HALLELUJAH!.  Survival: Awesomeness incarnate.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Visvia
« on: January 06, 2014, 01:41:23 AM »
While playing skirmish as the EotH to see what the Visvia could do I encountered a problem: There was no dramatic death blast coming from its four super turrets.  Is this because the blasts from the Tri-megamasers are regular sized or was I not paying attention?

The Lounge / United States Selective Service Service
« on: December 23, 2013, 04:10:13 PM »
Well I had to sign up for the Draft today. I have absolutely no problem with it but my older sister did not have to sign up for the Draft.   This bothers me because women are allowed to participate in all braches of the service therefore taking equal responsibility has men in the Armed Forces, but are not allowed to sign up for the Draft, not being required to have the same sacrifice in the event of madness happening.  So my question is: am I a nutcase (highly likely) for thinking this or not.

If Thrawn was able to convince the Pentastar Alignment and the various warlords join his attack on the New Republic I believe it is safe to say the Rebels would have burned.  My question is could they survive Operation: Shadow Hand if the Clone Emperor decided to take offense to the replacement Empire or would they be absorbed into the Dark Empire? Furthermore, which of these Empires would fair better against the Yuuzhan Vong invasion?

A while ago I was watching a documentary about the science of Star Wars.  In it they said that Star Wars dogfights, while incredibly awesome, were incorrect in that the ships would need thousands of miniature thrusters all over the crafts body to allow the acrobatics seen.  I say that since Star Wars has seen literally thousands of years of space combat, that a gas/liquid atmosphere has developed in the space between planets from the debris and emissions of destroyed vehicles.  Anybody else have a theory?

Sins of a Solar Empire / Is Sins of a Solar Empire worth buying?
« on: December 19, 2013, 10:33:07 PM »
I am trying to figure out if SoaSE is a good game or not and since you guys are clearly knowledgeable about this game, I thought you guys could answer me on this.  Also what is the biggest difference between EaW and SoaSE?

Well I was watching Prophets of Doom on H2 and decided to post this.  My vote goes to creating the first Empire.

Star Wars Discussion / Star Wars 7 plot wish list
« on: December 18, 2013, 03:00:35 PM »
Since we are only two years away from the release of Star Wars 7, what would you like the plot to be?  I would prefer it to start with Outbound Flight.  My reasoning is that the prequel era Jedi need to be redeemed a bit and having the Outbound Flight would give that opportunity.  Also it would introduce Grand Admiral Thrawn giving the average Joe a chance to see him as something other than the bad guy, even though he is just fighting back against an illegal terrorist group who replaced the rightful Galactic government. Also as an end credit scene the holo-conversation between Thrawn and Sidious would be an awesome way to set up the Vong for later.  After Outbound Flight I would want the Dark Force trilogy and the Hand of Thrawn pair.  Both of these would lead into a massive campaign spanning 4-6 movies with a TV series filling in between releases and an online game that allows us to affect(effect?) the  course of events in the events of the Vong War.  The movies would cover Vector Prime, the Battle of Ithor, parts of Star by Star namely the Strike mission and the invasion of Coruscant with the beginning of the book covered by the TV series, the Battle of Ebaq 9, and the Liberation of Coruscant as the finale of Star Wars as a whole.  The online game would put people as officers so as they got better at the game the more people they would command.  They would be able to affect the plot by holding certain worlds longer than they are supposed to forcing a TV show where a major assault takes place and their character would be mentioned in a news reel or in a mission briefing in the TV series or something like that. Once finished though Star Wars would either end or go back and make the Sith Wars and Mandalorian Wars movies.

The Lounge / Infantry Attacks by Erwin Rommel
« on: December 18, 2013, 02:35:55 PM »
I am reading Rommel's book right now and am confounded by the stupidity of the French. In chapter four while the French were in a great defensive position and had Rommel's unit pinned down. However, instead of holding their ground the French ran away! This is not the first time the did this. During the initial invasion, French units were surrendering to German units much smaller than their own. In one case Rommel's company captured a battalion of French holed up in a town after a short fight. I am wondering if anyone has a reason for the French stupidity.

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Trying to fix a bad idea
« on: December 18, 2013, 01:30:19 PM »
Well my sisters have had friends over the last few days forcing me to hide in the Galaxy far far away.  Because of this I have been playing a lot of Thrawn's Revenge.  However, I got a genius idea to change the damage levels of the Imperial turbolasers, Ion cannons, and EotH Masers to incredibly high levels so I could just watch the Rebels disintegrate. It is awesome for skirmish but when I play GC bad things happen.  While fighting the Warlord over Kraiek(?) one shot from a Kraiek destroyed my Chaf and over another world two ISDs were very rude and destroyed a large portion of my fleet leaving me with two Asdronis.  Can anybody tell me what the original damage levels for the weapons I listed are so I can put them back to normal with out reloading the whole mod? What I did was hold zero until the number looked sufficiently large then laughed. Not a good idea for changing things but it was cool to watch a two corvettes kill entire fleets on their own.

The Lounge / Windows 8 is evil
« on: December 12, 2013, 12:43:38 PM »
Even though I have downloaded several mods in the past my computer is now opening the files as a Picture file. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have been playing Empire at War on this computer for about a year and a half now and it has just decided to say that Empire at War is incompatible. How do I fix this? I have the RAM patch and all the rest but it still gives me problems.

15
I would like to put the Crimson Command Victories and Bothan Assault Cruisers into skirmish mode but I don't know how to.  Could someone help me with this?

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Hero bonuses
« on: October 23, 2013, 08:11:09 PM »
I don't know if anyone has asked this before but could someone explain what the bonuses for the heroes are?  I have seen people say that Pellaeon is a super hero and such but I can't find where their bonuses are listed. Could someone help?

Star Wars Discussion / Is it possible for a foreign power to beat the Empire
« on: September 04, 2013, 12:06:00 AM »
I believe everyone here is a rational human being and believes that the Galactic Empire would wipe the floor with the entire Star Trek galaxy (minus the Q because they would likely be the cause of the war), the Halo-verse, and the Warhammer 40k universe.  But I was wondering if there is any sci-fi power that could take our Glorious Empire on in a straight fight? It is my opinion that it would not be possible unless you allow omnipotent characters for the opposition, like Warhammer's Emperor or the Q magically fighting for the Federation. One more thing time traveling based universes are outlawed unless they are using time travel appropriately. By this I mean zipping back and forth through different time periods trading tech until the faction is able to take over their entire universe and start branching out into other time streams.

The Lounge / Crisis in Syria
« on: September 03, 2013, 01:27:23 PM »
Does anyone have information on what is going on in Syria? In America our news stations are useless going on and on about random crap when a war is getting ready to start. All we get to know is there are ships moving into the Gulf to get ready to fire tomahawks.  If you guys could comment with opinions or information thanks.

Star Wars Discussion / Building your own starship
« on: August 15, 2013, 12:46:10 PM »
If you could design a ship class of any type what would it be and what would you call it?  My ship would be a three KM winged (like the Vengeance) Star Destroyer with a deeper hull to allow for more fighters. Its total armament would be 150 heavy turbo batteries, 150 heavy ion batteries, 50 concussion missile launchers, 60 point defense batteries.  Its fighter complement would be 15 squadrons of TIE Avengers, 10 squadrons of Scimitars, and 5 squadrons of TIE Defenders. It would be called the Caesar-class.

EaW and FoC Mods / Star Wars vs Star Trek mod
« on: August 11, 2013, 07:05:04 PM »
Does anyone know if the Galaxies at War mod for Empire at War is any good and if not is there another Star Wars vs Star Trek mod out there? Thrawn's Revenge is the best but I have beat it already and feel like grinding the Federation and its allies to pieces with the Empire.
