It's pretty simple actually. I make games like a spider spins silk. It's just what I do.


You don´t want us to get arachnophobia, don´t you? :wink_new: :thumbsupsmiley:

First, who in their right mind would have the bridge viewport of their flagship be made of actual glass that is thin enough to be shattered by a thrown projectile?! Here I thought we used transparasteel...


Difficult to say. Maybe the electrostaff had some other unique features than simply blocking lightsabers.

Second, Coruscant is under siege; there will probably be troop landers and definitely falling debris- who fell asleep at the planetary shield controls? I would certainly not leave my heavily populated capital world open to bombardment and invasion.


Have you read Labyrinth of Evil? Because if you read it, you would know that every building on Coruscant had it´s own shields activated when the battle started, and on Coruscant, as you know, there are buildings everywhere, so the shields were everywhere. Shields which could withstand the bombardment. And even that couldn´t prevent CIS to get their forces onto ground and capture the Chancelor.

Third, the fall of the Invisible Hand was ludicrous. A ship that size having air brakes when it was clearly too large to ever contemplate entering the lower atmosphere is laughable- well, no, actually I cried. Then the emergency vehicles trying to put out the fires on the hull; why? What's the point? Also, I was under the impression that steering required dozens of crewers and expert coordination between engineering, engines, and the helm, yet Obi-Wan can do it on his own. This might be forgivable as dramatic license but for the fact that all of the thrusters and presumably the repulsorlift generators had fallen off. What did he steer with? Finally, a heavily armored capital warship probably weighing tens of thousands of tons crashes into a city from freefall from ortbit! Does it cause the building it lands on to collapse? Does it even make a dent? Nope. Remarkably, it seems to find a couple kilometer long empty space that seems to be made of molecularly-bonded armor and is completely devoid of buildings but for one unfortunate air control tower.


For this I must agree with Kaleb Graff.
