Victor Strang.... That's a good idea. Though he was 30's-ish when he disappeared so he'd be slightly grey haired but yeah he could work. We was not only a Storm Commando, but promoted to Admiral, and after the Rebs blew the Conquerer up he disappeared so yeah that is a good idea. A Hero Storm Commando sounds pretty BA too!

I know Noval Garaint was a stretch, but I'm just trying to think of ex-Imps or Imp employees that may still be available and able to work for the PA to boost their Hero's a bit. Strang is a good one, and Garaint could easily be one. So there's two that both can be space and ground heroes...

I still use the AT-AT in an attack role for the PA, just this afternoon I did in fact to take Syca. The V9 is cool, but nothing beats having an AT-AT go buck wild on your enemy! I'm a huge fan of all the factions, except the EoH... I can't get into them for some reason idk why...

Also the Imperial Shadow Guard, black armored Imperial Guardsmen with lightsaber pikes and force powers... Possibly able to be made with the returned Emperor?

Not really a big fan of the EoTH either, TBH. I think it comes from hating them so much when I play as someone else.

They'd just end up as weaker versions of the PAs Dark Jedi and not bring anything new to the faction

If he was 30 at 1 ABY he would be about 50 at the end of the mod...Han Solo was still pretty active at 50, so it would be doable. Like I said as well, it could also give the PA a reason as to why they have Storm Commandos.

How about my idea of having the PA Acclamators with V-19's instead of Tie/ln? Small change, gives another unit at the beginning that has non-IR supplement, and Acclamators did have V-19's as their primary starfighter at the end of the Republic.

I'll think about it. I originally wanted to leave the V-19's for the CSA things to split it up more but I'm not sure what the power differential there is.

I've just had an idea, what about Baron D'Asta as a Pentastar Alignment hero? He was a big Imperial player in the region after all.

Why CSA-specific? If you were going to do it specific, wouldn't it make more sense to have V-19's in Republic ships (Venator/Acclamator) since they originally came outfitted with them?

But was he ever affiliated with the PA canonically. This has been the response from Corey & co. multiple times. If there's no canonical link, they don't just want to add a hero because they were "in the right place".

Revanchist · « **Reply #688 on:** August 26, 2013, 04:39:13 PM »

Yeah, whereas D'Asta was concurrent with the PA and never joined it, Strang disappeared before its foundation. His life afterwards is an open slate.

I think something needs to be done with the Maurader. As it stands currently, it is hard to justify 1800 credits for a slow, weak vessel firing one turbolaser (and poorly at that). I suggest maybe giving it four hardpoints instead of just one shot alternating among the four barrels. At that point, 1800 credits for a ships with four turbolasers that can't be disabled sounds a LOT more reasonable. (It would probably mean fewer shots per instance, but more shots at once is what I'm thinking of.)

I would like to see the Providence-class carrier/destroyer replace the imp star 1 for the pentastar alignment it would make a effective warship with its multiple ion cannons Quad turbolasers and 8 heavy proton torpedo launchers. It would be more than capable of devastating frigates as well as early rebel capital ships because of the torpedos and ion cannons. in later eras it would still be an efective frigit killer

Singularity · « **Reply #691 on:** August 27, 2013, 02:48:43 PM »

Small thing, shouldn't Rogue Squadron be an Era 1 hero as well?

Lord Xizer · « **Reply #692 on:** August 27, 2013, 04:03:49 PM »

Yeah, love those Rogues

incase no one saw

does anyone else think that adding jercs 7 dark jedi as pentastar hero would work well

I have mentioned this a few times, but it was shot down for decent reasons. 1, they weren't very strong, 2 they bring nothing new that Jerec doesn't already do better, there's the Dark Jedi already, and finally it would be just same basic jedi with different skins

What do you think about Strang?

mynameisyou · « **Reply #696 on:** August 29, 2013, 03:29:01 PM »

I think Strang would be a useful space and land hero.

He definitely had dealings with the PA(of course he did with MOST imperial factions) but he'd just be a copy of Gregor so he wouldn't bring anything new.

Well, we don't know for certain if Brakiss had any proper dealings with Daala or Pellaeon, but he's still an Era 4 and 5 hero...

Yes we do. Brakiss, "went to the Deep Core and reestablished his Imperial warlord contacts, becoming a neutral broker between the replacement warlords."

The Replacement Warlords were the 13 warlords who took over and were led by Daala when she did the whole Tsoss Beacon massacre thing. So while he may not have been personally associated with her or Pellaeon directly, he was still part of the same grouping.

Mynameisyou, we've already said we're using the Providence for them. It's not replacing the ISDI though.

Well, in the right place can be used to reasonably extrapolate some association. If there's sombody prominent in the region during the period, it's possible they were associated with them even if nobody ever directly says "this person was part of this group directly." There's some pretty specific criteria there, but it's what we did with Jerec.

Strang isn't really a good choice but I guess he wouldn't be terrible.

D'Asta doesn't even leave an opening of "maybe he was there in that time," since he was part of the Ruling Council. He'd have been with Pestage.
