In Topic: Nebula-class Star Destroyer

03 September 2010 - 01:25 PM

I really support the Nebula, but don't understand everyone's obsession with pricing. The New Class was specifically designed to increase economy in the production and upkeep of warships. It would not be unreasonable for the Nebula to be both better and cheaper. Game balance is to make sure that neither side is more powerful, not that both sides have equal ships.
One thing I would recommend changing is the fighter complement, though. Sacrificing a lot of heavy weapons is a bit unreasonable to gain a squadron of fighters. Even if we say that K-wings take more space, it's still too much. I would reduce the Nebula's complement to 36, the standard New Republic wing.
The Nebula is truly a great design for dealing with impstars. In RPG simulations, it usually managed to take out it's target without it's own shields going down.

We could just make all the space maps empty and big, with nothing but maybe a few asteroids. That would be realistic.
I can't wait. When is it coming?

In Topic: More TIE Variants, Please

Yes. It completely replaces the basic FOC with a new variant. For units, see the units table. Nothing not listed is there.

Yep. I wonder how they thought of some of those plotlines. If we deem Jedi Prince non P-canon, then that would make things much easier. And I wonder what the authors of Crystal Star and New Rebellion were thinking. Both have absolutely awful concepts, plus New Rebellion has the worst space combat ever. Three MC80-types vs. 2 Victories, and they almost loose. And no support ships! It should be shot.
Also, I read the Jedi Prince wookie article, and found it even more laughable. How did the wedding in the last book end, and Han still had to win Leia over in Courtship? I like the 'bedtime story' idea best, as it makes no sense otherwise.

Well, at least bring in more Bantam authors, because everything after the Swarm War I can't even bring myself to read due to the ridiculous direction they took it. I know I like anything Zahn writes too, definitely my favorite author; though Stackpole, Luceno, Stover, Anderson, and Traviss (when she doesn't go Mando crazy and screw up the image of the Mandos in the process) usually know what they are doing too. I really need to read this stuff so I can give a decent opinion other than being appalled. I forbid the world from reading the Legacy comics, it is little more than the movies repackaged all over again, with a little spice for supposedly good measure.

My number one complaint: TOO MANY SITH!!!! They were somehow able to come up with non-sith villains for years, but Legacy, Fate of the Jedi, and the Legacy comics all involved sith, the last two of which had been in hiding.
On your author list:
Sackpole is quite good, Luceno is OK, I'm not a Stover fan, and he should have had his license revoked over Shadows of Mindor (It read like the first Han Solo trilogy, and I think it was intentional). Anderson is OK. Traviss, on the other hand, should be banned, and all her stuff decanonized. She killed Mara and Pelleaon!!! This is unforgivable, and also quite stupid. Also, her obsession with mandolorians has gone way to far.
I'm going to start plotting to overthrow LucasArts again.
