Rebellion Reloaded TC - Positions

[Jahled]

...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.

Two Star Destroyers at Endor, that is.

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

[Jahled]

That's the point.....weight in numbers....

... just look at the expression on Bail Organna's face at the end of AOTC on the balcony...

 

Actually, it is Bail Antilles

[Jahled]

Ah..yes...(gulp)...

[TK421]

That about the ISD... I read that too somewhere.

I think it is compared with some small colonies!

[Tristar]

what are you talking about?

[Jahled]

Upon reflection....I haven't a clue....

[ElvisMiggell]

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.
