Easiest way to see is to look up his wookiepedia page, then at the bottom under "Appearances".

Discussion, Suggestions & Feedback / Re: Tector VS ISD1 or ISD2?
« on: March 06, 2018, 01:27:38 PM »
ISD-1 and Tectors were contemporaries of each other. ISD (at the time just ISD) was designed more as a general purpose can do anything ship that's very good at capital ship combat while being able to field fighters and capture enemy ships.
Tector was produced in FAR fewer numbers, and was desinged more as a pure combat vessel that was incapable of functioning independently of a fleet. While is was significantly more powerful than it's brother in capital ship combat, and had far stronger hull, it was incapable of fielding any starfighter screen, and wasn't as effective at capturing (less Ion cannons) enemies. Outside of combat, it wasn't really an effective vessel, thereby why it was produced in such smaller numbers.

The problem with that strategy (for the IR) is that they don't have any carriers that spawn Defenders, which are their only fighters worthy of being the majority of the fleet. The carriers they have spawn regular Ties for the most part, which while USEFUL when used correctly, cannot every dominate a battle if there's ANY anti-fighter capacity in the opposing fleet.

I watched it on a pirate site, and I have to say:
1. Glad I didn't spend the money to see this in the theatres.
2. I can definitely see where some get and to a limited level agree with those that say it's a good sci-fi movie, but have trouble accepting it as Star Wars.
3. BILLIONS of times better than TFA, but then, watching grass grow was better than TFA.
4. I personally liked the fact that they finally injected some humor on purpose, I thought it made it much more watchable, even if some was...rough.
5. Overall, good movie. Not amazing, but good. Won't purchase it, won't even probably ever watch it again. But if I happen to be bored and it's on TV, I won't turn it off in disgust.

I usually wait until most movies go into the cheapy theatres. 90% of the movies I've seen the last 4 years were $2 for the movie in a theatre. Don't have any plans on seeing this until it's in the cheapies either after seeing the initial fan reviews.

Well, they're better as defensive units IMO because they're so ploddingly slow, but they're the only useful HEAVY unit also in the earlier eras. The SPMA-T is nearly as capable of putting out as much damage, but they're so slow to deploy that they generally are dead before they have a chance to actually be used. Whereas as long as some units are around to protect their flanks, then the AT-AT is in an incredibly effective, if ploddingly slow, offensive weapon.
They are, I admit, one of the reasons I dislike playing as the IR until you get XR-85's. They're incredibly effective, 3 AT-AT's can easily crush almost any defense. Running forward with 2-M's to distract TL towers and then moving forward with the AT-AT's, they can even destroy the TL towers without taking any damage themselves (although it will cost a couple 2-M's most of the time). Pretty much, unless you're willing to micro-manage your units, you're stuck relying on AT-AT's to be the heavy firepower, or you'll have to try to set up SPMA-T's and lure units into their range.

Not enough damage? They outdamage turbolaser towers? How is there too little damage for the AT-aT? They're quite literally the 2nd most powerful ground force in the mod (next to the XR-85 tank droid)

AT-PT is the best anti-infantry unit for the IR, and they're not much behind the AT-ST for anti-armor.
Century tanks with their light turbolaser offer an extremely deadly punch against light to moderate armor. They don't have much durability, and the cooldown on the turbo makes it so tthey're not dangerous for a good amount of time after firing it, but for their price, they're one of the best units for the IR. They're also cheap enough that they can be much like the Tie's that they're based on and thrown en-masse.
2-M's are fantastic for quick response...and good against anti-infantry units. Their shields offer them some durability, but to truly master them, it requires a lot of microing to constantly be running away with the damaged ones to let their shields recover.
The Juggernaught is totally useless for it's price. Don't waste the resources. Never build one.
AT-AT's are needed as the IR. They're one of, if not the best defensive unit in the game. 3 AT-AT's in close formation is nearly an unbreakable wall if you're getting attacked. Their ability to deploy stormtroopers means that they're also AMAZING for scouting if you have 3-5 of them, you deploy stormtroopers and run forward just to be able to bring the bombing runs and bombardments. Then they can (slowly) plod forward, with century tanks hanging just behind them to protect their vulnerable flanks.

Didn't bother watching it either. Not paying no $6 month just to continue watching that 1 show, so figured there was no point in watching the first episode.
