Rapora War (OOC Discussion)

[Trejiuvanat]

 

Perhaps the Rapora can be turned into Orcs or have the Timeless one imitate Gollum's speech patterns.

[BadSamaritan]

Ok, if the Timless One starts talking like Gollum, Im taking Ilos, grabbing Athien, and flying my fleet to a different galaxy. Period.

[Trejiuvanat]

On Vareme Cruiser Morgoth, the Timeless One addresses his troops.

 

"Nasty little Skywalkers, stoles it from us. He stole our precious, bring them to Her."

 

"No, Skywalker was good to us. Skywalker likes us."

 

"Nobody likes you."

 

"I'm not listening."

 

"Murderer! Thief!"

 

"/&"!%$&$#!!!"

 

Palpum.. Palpum..

[Stellar_Magic]

 

Okay, you're going to hate how this battle is going to go...

[Trejiuvanat]

If that last comment is about the superweapons, I really meant what I wrote about that a few posts back.

 

It's getting a bit overstretched, one superweapon is good. It adds an element that is a cause of dispair for the "good guys", but add half a dozen "I'll-kill-everything-you-can-come-up-with" technological gizmos, and it simply ruins the story. From what I read up here, I think Darky and Mad are with me on this. The story doesn't need terrible-über-superweapons to be fun.

[Stellar_Magic]

I'm not going to use superweapons to do it.

 

I think you forgot about the Aklasp units when you suggested the fire.

[Trejiuvanat]

I still don't know what have your units have in special, much less their names.

 

A consistent good Word Doc Rapora Annex could help.

 

There's still a psychological effects, and at least the ground soldiers and light vehicles won't go through.

[Mad78]

Its true that too many Superweapon's makes the rpg a bit dumb.

[BadSamaritan]

While superweapons do make the game a lot less fun, it does level out the playing feild somewhat. The repora still have the GFFA beat hands down in sheer firepower with their plasma weapons. Add in the fact that the entire race is force sensitive, and the Repora still have a clear advantage.

 

Edit: Im already at ord Mantell? I was hoping to wait a bit longer, and arrive just in the nick of time. But I guess this works.

 

But what are you dispatching to deal with my troops? Ground forces? Fighters? Jawas? Tribbles? I need some info before I can start to wreck Avarices' day.

Does it really for every superweapon you come up with, SM will come up with yet one bigger Rapora Superweapon, so we are only giving SM bigger guns.

The GFFA still have numbers on their side. The Raporan army has formidable technology, but their warrior number is not that high. They cannot be everywhere at once, so happy raiding.

 

Force sensitive, that's a problem. But both Jedi and Sith are not all too powerful, other than Palpy and Anakin I would like any super-ForceUsers (a la making moon blow up). The Darths, have not run into any Jedi recently, and the average Raporan warrior probably is not that strong in the force compared to a fully trained Jedi or Sith. They must still be vulnerable.

Knowing Stellar, I wouldn't give him any advice (not even as a joke). Unless you actually wanted Tribbles to crush your troops.

[BadSamaritan]

Tribbles are not Ewoks. They just eat everything in sight. Which is why the Klingons hunted them to extinction.

[Trejiuvanat]

They hunted them to extinction? I didn't know that!

 

Knowing Stellar the Rapora will bom your base with over-eager-reproductive Tribble, that will be so cute they'll distract your troops while the rapora destroy them.

 

Or you'll have Rapora-engineeres Giga-Tribbles which reproduce and eat away your provisions for a long ground campaign or Giga-Tribbles will turn out to be Droideka's with a wool clothing to fool GFFA/UDA troops.

Now who is given Stellar ideas?

 

And yes, the Klingons hunted them to extinction, but Sisko took the Defiant back in time to find someone, and brought them back for some insane reason.

 

All hail the mighty Klingon Empire, and its victory over the Tribbles!!!!

 

.......Ok. Im going to have a one use charachter in teh RP, just so he say that.

[Trejiuvanat]

Ugh. DS9...

 

My ideas are dweebby enough that Stellar will find them respulsive enough not to use them.

 

In the Gorathian shuttle:

 

"All hail the mighty Klingon Empire, and its victory over the Tribbles!!!! " Hirotek murmured, then his eyes popped wide open.

 

"Ilos, you okay?" Garik asked.

 

"Yeah, I had somekind of nightmare." Ilos answered.

 

"Klingons? Tribbles? What kind of nightmare was that?" Garik asked more to himself than for the sleepy man on his side.

 

"I've no idea, but I will keep them from going back in time and rescue the damn buggers." Hirotek murmured, his last words were barely understandable.

 

"I don't know if I should still take him to Ord or to a Medical Facility. Time-travel, that's even more absurd than the idea of reducing our body to atoms and teleporting them through space." Garik spoke out for himself, took a sip of his beloved Corellian Brandy and checked the consoles on the shuttle again.

[BadSamaritan]

Acctually, teleporter technology has been created in the SW universe. It is used by a one man travelling show. He was the assistent to the man who designed it. He killed the designer, and stole it. Boba Fett used it to catch a crime lord once.

[Stellar_Magic]

Well well, a new form of bioweapon, tribbles.

 

 

Okay on a more serious note, I'm going to cut back on the superweapons the Rapora use, (Which in my opinion has been one type of superweapon, the Replicators.)

 

BS, the units Darth Avarice sent to engage your Mandalors are a pair of Kar Asp fighter squadrons.

 

Excellent suggestion Trej, I'll start working on a list of all Raporan equipment and unit types. I'll be doing the same for the UDA. I've also been thinking about the sort of ground equipment the Aklasp will be using. (I'll also explain why the Aklasp aren't afraid of fire.)

 

Also about Dorja, I had another Idea... I was going to brainwash her. Imagine Oreton's reaction to her leading a Raporan Task Force.

 

On a semi humurous note, I'm thinking of killing off some Jedi pretty soon so I thought I'd ask. Who do you want to die?

[BadSamaritan]

Hold on a sec, the CRUISER is deploying troops? Mandalorian cruisers can enter atmosphere? Or is it a transport? Im not gonna assume on this one and screw things up.

 

As for killing Jeedia, yopu should rid the galaxy of that upstart Kyp. He bothers me.

[Trejiuvanat]

Also about Dorja, I had another Idea... I was going to brainwash her. Imagine Oreton's reaction to her leading a Raporan Task Force.

 

I'd still be more confortable with her being death. Why do you want her alive? Let's continue this discussion via PM.

 

On a semi humurous note, I'm thinking of killing off some Jedi pretty soon so I thought I'd ask. Who do you want to die?

 

I never liked Kyp. And thinking of it he was always a good friend of Han, I want to see an angry Han.

 

EDIT: Removed this form IC Thread. And I had to put it somewhere

 

OOC: I killed Dorja.

 

Breathes.

 

I did not want her to live, it has been a while since anyone died. (Since Parck there have not been at least in Oreton's storyline any important deaths, Pelly is in deep coma, he might or might not come back, plus Oreton knew he already had a foot on the other side. Vana was quite the opposite.)

 

So I actually wanted her dead. The one minute of silence was a silent way to let her die.

 

Sorry for not posting this in the OOC Thread, but when I read she still was alive I somehow exploded.

 

This about the fifth edit, one for each line I think. I'll edit this into something not OOC, once Dorja vanishes form the above post.

 

Woo one more edit, nice thing about the 'Ewoks' I had not given much thought about it, it was more of a joke while I figured something out. Nice idea, nothing like a low-budget defense army to lighten up the day.

 

As Jahled would say: Learn to spell, I must.

[Stellar_Magic]

BS: The cruiser can enter atmosphere.

[BadSamaritan]

Ok, there are three classes of AMW missile. The most common is the Class I. Designed to level large military bases, or decent sized warships. A Class II is designed to blast larger warships out of space, or to completely level large Cities. And a Class III, which is exceptionally rare, is designed to pretty much vaporize a small moon, or wreck a planet real quick-like.

 

Most mandalorian cruisers have at least one, if not two Class I AMWs, a few scattered vessels have Class IIs, but only flagships come with a single Class III. The mandalorians decided not to over-produce the missiles, so that thier commanders wouldnt rely on them to win battles.

 

I decided just having one type wouldnt work, and might lead to overkill problems. And this way, I can limit how many of them I actually have, so that I dont use them to much. No constant super-weapon uberness for me!

[Stellar_Magic]

Well if you guys wouldn't keep destroying my Replicators the Uber superweapon situation wouldn't exist. Let me explain.

 

Raporan Replicators are built 1st whenever the Rapora obtain the materials required to build one, why? because they not only are a superweapon but they're also the shipyard that builds every thing else. If you keep destroying Replicators you'll see the Rapora build more replicators instead of smaller combat ships because they need the replicators to build them.

[Trejiuvanat]

If you wouldn't bring them to every social event the Rapora are not invited, we wouldn't have to destroy them.

[ADarkJedi44]

Ok Stellar. So let me try to get this straight...

Are you really trying to tell us we shouldn't blow up Replicators? We should run in fear at the first sight of them? Or we should ignore them and let them blow up our fleets?

Wtf are we supposed to do?

[Stellar_Magic]

For one thing Raporan tactics are going to begin to change, you'll find that the Replicators aren't going to be used offensively as much. Yes, you'll want to destroy them but it would have been better if in some cases if you just aimed to disable the vessel.

 

I know it's annoying but part of it was that I wanted to use the Replicators alot early on just for the shock value of them.

[ADarkJedi44]

Wonderful. Now we can get destroyed the old fashioned way.
