Jahled Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 ...one thing I think people should remember about rebel ships and ship-sizes is central to the Star Wars mythos is that the rebels were fighting an evil empire subjugating the galaxy, and crucially; it's resources. (Death Star's and Star Destroyers must cost a heck of alot an account's department's budget to build and maintain). The rebels were fighting to restore a republic who had better things to spend it's resources on than military hardware. (A point George Lucas is at pains to point out in the prequals, just look at the expression on Bail Organna's face at the end of AOTC on the balcony). I read I think on the back a box of cornflakes back in the eighties (and I kid you not), a Star Destroyer uses more power jumping into hyperspace than some civilizations use in years. While the statement may have been a little exagerated, the point is clear, I think. Don't let the rebels have super-massive ships. Just look at the fuss made about the alliance having captured at Endor in the Dark Empire comics. (Not that they did much other than crash on Coruscant and into a World Devestator!) Say, capturing enemy ships.....now that's an interesting idea for a new special forces mission....eeemmmmm.......beats blowing them up. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 Two Star Destroyers at Endor, that is. http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisMiggell Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 So we have an Mc90 as the rebs best ship, but make it considerably cheaper than an ESSD yeah? So the rebs could build more small ships, with less individual firepower, but could outnumber the imps later in the game once they get the resources together etc etc Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine...

ElvisMiggell Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Jahled was talking about the end of AOTC with reference to the good guys not wanting lots of big hard dangerous ships. Im not sure what TK was talking about. Elvismiggell. Strike me down and i will become more powerful than you can ever imagine...
