The Adventures of a Rebel Death Star

Before I got a RebEd, I had an old save, where I was playing as Rebels at Hard. I've abandoned this long ago, but still kept the save. Situation: Empire has all the core except for Averam in Seswenna. I had only 2 Rim Sectors (Modell & Atrivis) Atrivis was known to the Empire, but it had double GenCores II on Each planet (same I had in Modell) and Imperials could not get me. I had my HQ destroyed, and Luke captured. However, i had Mothma, Han, Leia and several minors. Empire built a DS "Eradicator", but Han with Page and Roget Jiriss managed to sabotage it. After getting a RebEd I recalled that game, allowec Rebels to built a DS for 1/1 (Mwuhahaha) and disabled it for Imperials. My lonely Adv. Shipyard at Hozrel XI has completed it, loaded with fighters, and built a Dauntless for support. Fleet is jumping for Coruscant, where I encounter ISD Judicator (of cource) another ISD , several carracks, and SSD.

Rebel officer says: "Sensors detect a death star shield..."

Me: Mwuhahahaha, I have you now!

I start searching for my DS Control panel. It's not in its place! Moreover, I've unpaused the game, and...

"DEATH STAR IS FIRING AT US!" - My Dauntles gone in pieces! Traitors!!!! I simulate the results: "Battle was not decisive, both fleets were destroyed" I check the stats: Imperials have withdrawn, my fighters are gone, DS has withdrawn. I found a DS above Averam, and bring it back to Coruscant. Destroyers haven't returned yet, so I blow up Coruscant. (Objective window: Coruscant Taken :lol:) Luke is free, but injured. I bring more fighters to DS, and go for Ghorman. I've encountered a fighter garrison of 9~10 T/I my 24 X-wings deal with them. But the battle does not want to end! Only my fighters and a DS left! My best decision: Let's watch how DS attack looks like! Result: "Battle was not decisive, both fleets were destroyed" Only my fighters are returning to Averam.

The Empire is all. It could never be defeated. NEVER.

That's been known around here for a while. Whenever a Rebel Player builds a Death Star. In tactical combat it always wind up in Imperial hands, kind of odd that the crews of the Death Star betray you only when they are in tactical...

That's obviously a programmer's bug. The DS has been made to be Imperial, they didn't see a couple of bored men chaning Death Star ownership. :lol::lol::lol:

 

But, seriously, how does it work in Strategy window? Can you control it as if you were an Imperial?

And if you destroy a planet, who losses loyalty, Rebels or Imperials?

There is only one life;

There is only one truth;

There is only one EMPEROR'S GRAND PLAN.

 

By the way, the Emperor's not dead... he's just resting...

The "destroy system" option is greyed out for the Rebels, as far as I remember.

The same should go for the laser icon during tactical. During a battle, neither side can control the Deathstar, but I think you could make the trench run yourself (not sure about this at the moment).

If you got a Death Star, you can blow up a system. During a battle DS is controlled by Imperials, and Rebel scum can launch a DS attack run even on their own DS. And if you encounter an Imperial fleet with a DS they merge into one! However, if you know Imps have a DS in the system, you can't hyperspace there. Loyalty is lost by the side that destroyed a planet, but it boosts up in a sector where destruction occured. (Rule by fear) Everything was tested on the game.

This is what I wrote in for other information:

 

Occupation: Loitering for a while. Builds warships at free time as a hobby. :roll:

 

Interests: All things Star Wars, all things war and all things evil (but generally, the combination of the three) :twisted:

Yeah, it's a pity about...

 

a. Not being able to contrrol the DS properly as the Rebels,

b. Not being able to have more than 1 DS in any one place.

 

Imagine the second... I show up with a fleet of 10 DS-1's fully equipped with Tie Defenders, and a large-ish fleet of ISD-2's and Lancers...

 

The Rebels field their biggest ever fleet... 10 Bulwarks, plus a few starfighters, they can't afford too many because of all those Bulwarks.

 

So you pause at the beginning of the battle, assign, lesse, ten, targets, unpause. Kaboom!!! Sooooo much fun the first couple of times. :D :D :D

 

Or at least it would be...... :?

Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine...
