What ship do you want

[LeekorYair]

When the space expansion pack comes out what ship should we get. As a PA we should by a capital ship for whoever is in charge of tactics to ride in. I'll get a green and white X-Wing with an R2 unit inside the ship. Once we have a large enough fleet lets go find Admiral Daala and steal the suncrusher if its done ;D.

[Alinthia]

wheeew! im impressed leekor! a green and white xwing would be so groovy. I might ride along in a matching awing (more compact) Was green and white ever in the movies? And who is Admiral Daala?

[LeekorYair]

Green might have been(not sure). I'm reading the X-Wing series now. As for Daala she's an admiral sent to protect scientists in a blackhole cluster near Kessel. And one of the weapons they create is a ship that can't be destroyed even by a DeathStar shot and this 6 person or so ship can wipe out solar sytm by blowing up it's stars. Its called the SunCrusher.(Jedi academy Trilogy E.U.) They eventually take on a deathstar frame work.(Just the superlaser and the frame work.) And the suncrusher and the deathstar are destroyed by a black whole in the maw cluster. (in this series they even fit a dead sith lord in.)

[myo]

man you know a lot of stuff about star wars. are the jedi academy EU books good reading?

::MD::

[Traeco]

A huge transport ship with twin artillery and about 15 to 20 droid carriers in the ship so i can transport my merchandise and make millions selling my droids.

[LeekorYair]

Yes Myo the Jedi academy series is really good(not the new jedi academy on the back it should talk about Luke setting up a jedi academy) also Darksaber is good read too. I think a Star Destroyer or Mon Cal cruiser is what we want so we can fit 40 people our poessions,droids ships, and land traversing vehicles. your droids can sit in unused docking and cargo bays. On the bridge should be all people with a PA position or the highest rank. (lets capture our Star Destroyer and use it to sneak into enemy outposts.) in the capital ship we'll have plenty of shuttles to go down to planets. I recomend all artisans know at least a little military stuff. We could have the capital ship be our headquarters and our player created city just be our money making area and military and heads of departments go there. But on the ship we'll land in plenty of spots and have tons of combat on the ground and in the air ;D

[Traeco]

i agree with him

[LeekorYair]

Lets see for a Star Destroyer there are 120 turbolaser and Ion Cannons total 60 of each. 20 one man starfighters can keep it busy by attacking the Ties and weapon emplacements. Then we have a team get inside the stardestroyer of about 10. we mainly once inside need to worry about Storm Troopers. IF we can get a Jedi or two in there that ought to help a lot. Fighter Squads will just harass not destroy and do as little damage as possible to the star destroyer while keeping it here. Allowing us if necessary to call in a second team for boarding. The team(s) will board by attaching a manuverable shuttle or freighter with a claw on top to board it or we fly into a landing bay which may not work because the enemy might have shields over that area. The team(s) will fight their way to the bridge and take careful aim not to damage the bridge. Once the bridge is taken over we'll disable all weaponry temporarily on the ship's exterior and allow fighter squadron members who have military abilities get out and take out the resistance inside the Star Destroyer. Then half the people on the bridge will leave leaving just enough to control the ship. They'll launch us into Hyper Space towards whatever planet our base is on and the'll make the course irreversible. We'll then leave the bridge unguarded and search throughout the ship for all enemy weaponry(They have AT-ATs on the ship in drop pods, AT-PTs, AT-STs Ties, Tie Bombers, and space to ground lasers with incredible power. ;D and they can't even get all that away from the ship without destroying the ship or the equipment. So lets try not to destroy to many Ties, and Ties don't have Hyper Drives so they can't go to lightspeed on their own. We can get enough equipment in a single run to assault ALL of Tatooine and win without going onto the ground or we can droppod AT-somethings.) So we will wipe out all the storm troopers and people on board aside from prisoners if any and maybe put a couple storm troopers in cells for interogation. The 2 biggest problems are that our fighters may be blown to bits or the teams don't get to the bridge. We can maybe prevent this by building Battle Droids or Fighting Droids of some kind. Also NO explosives should be used on the ship. We should have both teams go in at the same time with fighter escourts. Once the teams are in we don't need to worry about the things that got the teams in. As for the TIEs once we have control of the ship we probably will have a squadron or two of TIEs on our hands so either use turbolasers or ion cannons on them or we use our fighters on them or we just fly away if we're lucky leaving them in deep space with nothing but comm systems and life support which will quickly run out for the. thus stranding them in the middle of nowhere. but I think we should hit them with ion cannons and pull them in with our tractor beams and sell them keep them or blow them up.(I say sell or keep cha-ching . with all this stuff and AT-ATs we can take on almost any Imperial installation but Coruscant or a Death Star. So we could do this at almost no cost because aren't we already all buying fighters, freighters, weapons etc. Other than repairs to ships(including star destroyer) and paying for lost things like ships or uninsured weapons or armor. This will be a cheap way to get a capital ship. And other than the bridge the rest of the star destroyer is required to be manned though turbolaser or ion canonn gunners definately will help. All gunners will be guranteed space for their fighters, a discount at all BotD stores, a group of at least one other person to go adventuring with them though you must first apply for it and quarters if there are any. Bridge officers will be given quarters before gunners or pilots. Hopefully at least the operation will work and we capture most the Ties the rest we should have no worries about. ;D

If we want we can buy a mon cal cruiser but it will cost us more than 30 mandalorian armors. Though we may get a full complement of fighter with it. it won't cost us any people to get it and it won't have any battle damages. the main downside to puchasing is it costs a ton and w won't get any AT-ATs through it. The Star Destroyer will be cheap but the risk is the only downside aside from damaging it in battle. So I think the Star Destroyer is the best course of action.

[Mochareshk]

I personally would want to own the ugliest thing I can find, you know a big flying shoebox (Who needs aerodynamics when there is no air). As for the star destroyer I think it would cost a bit more than any amount of bodyarmor, they are about the size of a small city.

[saiber]

i think i would want a bockade runner fast agle and still has turbo lassers

[LeekorYair]

A blockade runner may be more agile but could it beat an SD in speed (Princess Leia's didn't) could it beat an SD in firepower the answer to both of these is no. The only thing is that a BR could beat an SD is obtainability.

[Droider]

The only problem is, Space Expansion isn't coming out until 2004.

[Janel Kast]

I want a GAT 12j Skipray Blastboat.

It's a little bit bigger than a starfighter, but they are jsut as fast as an x-wing and it has 3 capital ship ion cannons, a proton-torpedo launcher, two laser cannons and a concussion missile launcher. Now thats some fire-power.

It also can carry 4 people, anybody want a lift?
