Near quote. And, Meyer's right. They would look at the schematics and say "Blasphemy!" They wouldn't care if it was useful.

unless they would give the plans to Nem Yim or some other heretic people of theirs. they might look at them and say: Maybe we should exploit this weakness.

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #222 on:** March 29, 2008, 12:59:00 PM »

they wouldn't, claiming that they would only need their own skills and the will of their gods to defeat the weapon.

were vong really renowned for strategy?
weren't they just like "attack in huge overwhelming numbers, not worrying about damage and casualties"?

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #224 on:** March 29, 2008, 02:24:26 PM »

No, they were quite capable of strategy, they used it often, mainly in trickery and such

Meyer · « **Reply #225 on:** March 29, 2008, 02:55:09 PM »

and it worked well. NR was powerless against in the early years.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #226 on:** March 29, 2008, 05:37:09 PM »

Well, that was also mainly due to the technology adjustment

pre-vong could any mass-produced ships do effective damage to vong ships?

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #228 on:** March 29, 2008, 08:22:29 PM »

Yea, the ships could still fight the Vong, take the first real engagement with an ISD and the Ranger gunships at Helska, they took out most of the Vong there. The actual change in technology was minimal, the largest difference was the NR's change of tactics and such due to experience with the Vong.

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #229 on:** March 29, 2008, 09:25:25 PM »

And adaptations of previous stuff, like stutter fire.

but wasn't the ISD destroyed?

by change in technology, do you mean like MC90 to viscount?

Yeah, but it still put up a fight, casualties are part of battle.

No, I mean like stutter fire, increasing the range of the inertial compensators to stop shield stripping, stuff like that. Like I said, they didn't do anything super major, just tweaked what they already had.

vadereclipse · « **Reply #233 on:** March 30, 2008, 02:27:00 PM »

but in terms of ship classes, the viscount was the biggest ship development, right?

rebel82785 · « **Reply #234 on:** March 30, 2008, 04:09:11 PM »

Wouldn't the presence of leaders such as Thrawn and the Emperor turn the tide of the war? The Imperial forces were much more efficient with the presence of a strong leader. Perhaps Sith Battle Meditation on the part of the Emperor and Darth Vader?

The largest Moncal ship yes, but it was developed before the vong war

Isamu · « **Reply #236 on:** March 30, 2008, 05:37:35 PM »

after the vong war, ships needed to be more maneuverable. size really began to screw you over more than help.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #237 on:** March 30, 2008, 05:40:49 PM »

you're getting this where?

Isamu · « **Reply #238 on:** March 30, 2008, 05:53:29 PM »

revelation

Dane Kiet · « **Reply #239 on:** March 30, 2008, 06:24:53 PM »

Be more specific. What ship killed what ship? How was it killed? What battle was it?
