Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 do you think we can use the interdictor to bring your own fleet out of hyperspace on top of an enemy fleet http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Admrial Joyce Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Why don't you just send a fleet instead of making one drop out? http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/4305/cap2073na.pngTime to do some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Thrawn Sadly from what Delphi has said and the Chat it is unlikely that we can do the Thrawn Pinser I really wanted to do that. What a tactic to use against his own forces http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellar_Magic Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 You use the gravity cone of an interdictor cruiser to pull slow heavy starships, which normally could be outpaced, out of hyperspace almost directy on top of the enemy. Thrawn used Victory I's and II's in the tactic as well as dreadnaughts.

Zer_Teron Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Well, you may be able to pull attacking fleets out of Hyperspace. In one of the Movies it showed that you could put a fleet anywhere in a large circle around a controlled planet. http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3488/zersigef1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 yeah true but i like FOsh would love to be able to do the Thrawn Pincer! this tactic rocks! Delphi! look here add this! http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Stellar_Magic Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 There... no more double posts. Anyway, the Thrawn pincer would only work if the Interdictor projected a gravity cone like it does in the books. I'm betting they haven't made it that way.

Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 they have to its the way that the Gravity well projector wworkks it projects a cone out to catch enemy ships if it didnt project a cone the interdictor becomes in danger of being destroyed to easily. but you cant have the enemy fleet affected but not your own it cant work that way cause thats an unfair advantage. Delphi can you confirm this or is it a secret or is it not going to happen this way. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Sabu113 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Just the tech needed for it would make it near impossible atm. Fun though if ppl could re-create the thrawn campaign ingame as a little mini vid Great game : http://ac.turbinegames.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 the techs nothing special for it, you just have a Interdictor effect=all bit in the codes http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Sabu113 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Well it would mean simutaneous galactic and tactical map going.Plus we'd probally have to add in a timing component to it . Great game : http://ac.turbinegames.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewieusma Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'd have to agree with Sabu because they have said that we will not be able to combine tactical and galactic maps. One another note, does anyone out there have an inkling of how you could project something that would have the same effects of gravity? Wind creates a force on Earth, I can't see that. Could it have something to do with using some sort of "black mass" in space? (totally theoretical here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Wind doesnt generate gravity on earth earth's gravity is created by the Magnetic field generated by the iron core of the planet. then the sheer mass of say an Asteroid also created gravity so we could work on similar princples. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

chewieusma Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Please don't think that i'm an idiot. I know wind does not create gravity. I was just pointing out that wind is a type of invisible force (to our eyes anyway). And my question was really just inquiring as to the possiblility of projecting a "gravity well" to pull something out of hyperspace. And how will we get to hyperspace anyway? I know this is sci-fi, but i've also noticed that many sci-fi topics actually come to be. Just look at military weaponry and computer systems and you'll see examples of what ideas have come from movies. Now live a few dozen centuries in the future and try to explain how this will some day be possible. I'd come live another life to travel from planet to planet and engage in come interstellar war for the freedom of oppressed intelligent life. Oh YEAH!

Psycho Mantis Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Well, there is a theory that if you could manipulate light in the right way, you could basically bend the universe so that any two points were next to each other for an instant. I cant remember exactly how the theory was supposed to work. Its actually closer to teleportation than hyperspace, but anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 That sounds like something directly out of Star Trek Voyager in the first series. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allec_Maddas Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hyperspace is an alternate reality were time moves slower but everthing else still moves at the same pace, but you have to reach light speed before you jump into this alternate reality. example: You drive you car at 75m/h for 75 miles and reach your destionation in 1 hour. In an alternate reality were time moves at half the pace but all other values remain the same then you drive your car at 75m/h for 75 miles and reach your destionation in 30 minutes. though might help.

Sabu113 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Interesting question... do we have to retreat from set points in order to reach our bases or can we just randomly retreat from anywhere?

Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 we can retreat to anywhere even deep space. i think. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Phantom_pff Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 there is no "deep space" in this game, so we cant run away to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Maybe retreat will be back to the planet from which the fleet came. That'd make it nice and simple. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkthehunter Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I think you should be able to choose where you retreat to. That adds more strategy to the game.
