Yes, with Mr. Green.

Imperial Commandos, seem to have a very high stupidity rating... They are pretty uncapable of fulfililng missions, that's why I usually send chars to do the really interesting sabotage missions.

I've got to say I only use Commandos in support of a mission with a decent char..... ie 1 char and 1 commado on the mission and 1 commado as a decoy or 2-3 commandos on the mission and 1-2 as decoys..... I find the odds for success are greatly increased by doing this.

 

Of course very heavily defended planets ( or those with a General ) need a far greater effort

I use the commandos to sabotage mines on undefended, minor systems. I train about 40 of them, then I split them into small teams (2-2), and send them out to the wide galaxy. In a about 200 days, the AI's productivity is scrapped...

You guys don't seem to understand the level of stupidity my commandos seem to posses. At times, to destroy a single GenCore I'll send twenty teams! Each team consists of one to three commandos on mission and four to ten as decoys!!! So we're talking about a lot of man-power! I deploy them to planets that usually don't have people, troops, or anything, just damned GenCores (since I don't trust them to do anything else). I send the teams in a total of ten to twenty days (sometimes two a day, sometimes just one). Well, you'd think that of all the teams, at least one would be able to do it...WRONG! :x DAMN THEM! Not even one of them could succeed on the easiest mission in the whole freakin' galaxy! :x They all either return (usually missing about half their team) or simply don't return at all! WHAT THE HELL?! :x The game must be coded to hate me!!! :x :x :x

Mon! Either you have bad luck or the game does not like you! :wink: But I feel with you dude:cry: :wink:

This is kind of Deja Vu... I remember already having agreed that SOCL's copy of the game certainly hated him.

Twenty Teams vs an unprotected GenCore???

Even Mon Mothma is capable of completing that mission... 8O

You are obviously growing weaker in The Force so I would recommend a Jedi Training Mission on Coruscant with The Emperor !!!! :lol:

 

Seriously though, one thing you may have ovelooked ( and I'm only suggesting 'may have' ) is the Loyalty Rating of the Target planet. With such large teams operating on an undefended, but very anti 'you' planet the chance is 'someone' may notice something very strange about large numbers of men in obviously false beards and outrageous French accents walking around enquiring where the Gencores are!!!

 

I personally prefer much smaller teams, 2 on mission and 1-3 on decoy. A character and 1 or 2 commados on mission and 1-3 on decoy is even better!!! Even on a very 'anti' planet, out of several teams at least one or two will get through. Another tactic on defended planets is to assign a team to each 'item' on the planet. You will at least hit something as this seems to have the effect of 'occupying' all the forces and installations with defending themselves from being blown to pieces.....consequently one or two teams get a result. Hah!! That will show those Rebels the true reach of The Emperor!!!!!!1 :twisted:

 

One other thing to consider is if there are any personnel assigned to the planet in a command role, then they MUST be liquidated, injured or captured before serious sabotage can begin. So if they are lurking somewhere, get those Noghri Death Squads in fast as your sabotage teams leave to wreak havoc.

 

If you co-ordinate your attacks to hit all at once, you WILL start getting results. Hope this may help you regain The Force. :P

Then SOCL's only option is to become a more powerful Jedi, and use that old Jedi mind trick:-

 

'You will ignore my saboteurs and allow them to complete their missions'

 

It always works for me!!!! :P

You want to try using them for real. Not only is it EXTREMELY scary, if you have to run in them you want to either a) pass out or b) rip it off your face and suck in huge amounts of air contaminated with something that is trying to kill you.

 

I am not a gas mask fan, and would rather listen to Tony Blair than wear one ( although I'm not sure which is worse ) :x

 

I do hope you are joking when you say you sit down and play Rebellion with it on :!:

"Imperator", you gave the best insight!

With such large teams operating on an undefended, but very anti 'you' planet the chance is 'someone' may notice something very strange about large numbers of men in obviously false beards and outrageous French accents walking around enquiring where the Gencores are!!!
Now I know why my SpecOp troopers don't succeed...they're all French! 8O I knew I should have hired that Norwegian special operations team, but no, the guys over in the Ministry of the Treasury said that the French troops would cost us less and yield the same results! :x DAMN THEM! :x

 

The Grand Imperator runs to his desk, after stumbling over a random box left on the floor, and jabs the commlink.

"Yes, Your Grand Imperatorness?" a voice returns.

"Susie, get me the Minister of the Treasury!"

"I'm sorry, sir, but Minister Saddam bin Bush has left the planet."

"What?! Damn!"

SOCL walks away from the desk to the telescreen, stumbling over the box in the process. Looks up at the other SWR.N forumers.

"Listen up, everyone, this is Grand Imperator SOCL, Ruler of all Corrections, Khan of Annoying Explanations, and Caliph of BEAKness, I am sending out my Special Operations troopers to capture my Minister of Treasury, please help them out as much as possib--wait..."

Looks around.

"Ex that! I am putting out a twenty million credit bounty for the head of my Minister of Treasury!"

SOCL turns to his personnal aide, who suddenly materializes from thin air.

"You, aide-slave, order all Imperial BEAK Special Operations troopers executed at once!"

The aide looks a tad puzzled.

"Sir, we usually have the special operations troopers do these sort of things...who do we send to assasinate them?"

SOCL considers the question.

"Right...contact Emperor Elvis, Grand Vizier Scathane, Warlord Mask, Warlord Jahled, General LaForge, and...Trejiuvanat--whatever his title is--and ask them to loan us their special operations troopers. Then, have their troopers execute ours."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Sir!"

"Sorry, sir: Yes, sir."

"Immediatley afterward, put out an ad on that banner exchange...what's it called?"

"Sci-Fi banner--"

"Silence, you! As I was saying, put out an ad for new SpecOp troopers for the BEAK Imperium!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"SIR!"

"Yes, sir! Sorry, sir!"

 

:roll:

 

I know, extended, but oh well. :roll:

"Kijnar tza, SOCL," The Yuuzhan Vong aide reported.

"What could it be this time?" Trejiuvanat thought for himself. He nodded to his communications officer. "Put it through."

In the holographic projector the image of SOCL materialized, somehow the Grand Imperator of BEAK wasn't dressed in his usual robes, instead he appeared in in his pink boxers.

"Trej, I need your help," he said.

"You need some clothes too," Warmaster Trejiuvanat answered.

SOCL looked shocked. "Wh---What???"

Trej shrugged. "SOmehow might be hacking your holographic image."

"But who?" SOCL asked. Then he turned his face to someone Trej could not see. "Slave-Aide, what are you laughing at?... I know it's you... Fix my holo-image again, now!... And for the last time, it's: YES, SIR!"

The holographic image flickered and the properly dressed Imperator of BEAK appeared.

"Now?" SOCL asked.

"Yes, you should really get a villip, it's better than this. Anyway, why did you call me?" Trejiuvanat asked in reply.

"Oh yes.. You see.. I have this problem, yes, the one I've had for years now... And I need your help."

"Oh," Trej said understandingly. "I'll send a shaper right away, he should be able to help you with-"

"A Shaper!?!?! No, not that problem I was talking about my other problem: The incompetent commandos!"

"Oh that! I thought.. I just thought it was... So you need my commandos, I'll send you some warriors, how do you want them? Brutal and effective, extra-brutal and some basic strategic knowlegde or extra brutal and supereffective with proper training?"

"The last one," SOCL's eyes lit up.

"Ok, you'll get them in time, you know how it is to ship warriors this time of the year, I'll send your Christmas card with them!"

Then the transmission clicked off.

 

Sorry, about the length, but I just had to reply to this... :D

Meanwhile....back on Coruscant....

 

(The Emperor sits in a very important looking chair. He contemplates the universe, the power of the Dark Side, and where his next cheese sandwich is coming from.........A full-size holographic image of Vader materializes in front of him)

 

Vader:- You wished to speak with me my master.

 

Palpatine:- Yes my good friend, The Imperial Tyrant of Beakness SOCL , has............

 

( His words trail off as he casts his gaze at what Vader is trying to hide in his hands. Vader fumbles and drops a cucumber and crab meat sandwich. Vader tries not to catch Palpatines eye )

 

Vader:- ( voice slightly embarassed ) I was at a party

 

(Palpatine ignores him )

 

Palpatine:- The Grand Imperator of Beakness is having trouble with his Commadoes.....what do you suggest my friend ?

 

Vader:- I will summon him at once

 

( A holographic image of SOCL appears, only it is half the size of Vaders....Palpatine and Vader gawp at the pink boxer shorts, and the rather battered Mexican hat he is wearing )

 

SOCL:- ( grinning uncomfortably ) I was eating Nachos your worshipfulness ( he clears his throat nervously )

 

Palpatine:- Vader ...get his Imperatorness his proper uniform...we have much to discuss about the proper deployment of false beards and strange accents for the upcoming assault on Yavin.

 

( Vader bows )

Vader :- Yes my master.

SOCL :- Yes your Imperial worshipfulness

 

( as they leave the chamber Vader looks at SOCL )

 

Vader:- Where did you get those shorts?

 

TO BE CONTINUED

SOCL looks around, confused.

"What?! You can see me?! This is supposed to be a one-way communication, not a holographic..." The Imperator looks off screen. "Cut the communication at once!"

The holographic disaster ends.

Back before this became a SOCL slam-fest, I think the topic was on bugs in the game (an open-ended topic, to be sure). :wink:

 

One of the things that always irritated me was when I'd start off with a planet that had, say, 2-4 LNR-1 batteries and/or an Ion Cannon or two, yet lacked Gencores or any troop garrison to prevent invasion. Now, an enemy fleet jumps in-system, and proceeds to assault and capture the planet without a shot being fired.

 

So riddle me this: why can't the LNR's open fire on the invaders, and/or why am I not given the option to evacuate the planet under the protective and disruptive power of the Ion Cannon? It seems silly that the LNR's can ONLY fire when an enemy fleet attempts a bombardment, just as it's stupid that the Ion cannon only works when an enemy fleet is just parked over a hostile system, oblivious to the opportunities for sabotage.

 

Personally, I think the enemy fleet should suffer the same consequences for planetary assault as it does for bombardment when dealing with LNR's. I also think that a defender should have the option of evacuating personnel if an Ion cannot is present, albeit with a risk of capture for said personnel. The Ion cannon should also allow for the movement of Characters, Spec Forces, and fighters INTO the system as reinforcements.

 

Anyway...food for thought. Or for SW:R2. :D

Five of the Greatest Lines in the Star Wars Trilogy :roll:;)

-"As you wish..."

-"He's no good to me dead..."

-"What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me."

-"Put Captain Solo in the Cargo Hold"

-"AaaaaAAaaaaaa!!"

Yeah, I've also had some theories on why the cannon can't fire during assaults. One of the least hilarious was that the cannons are either operating automatically or are being controlled by droids that have been ordered to fire at every bombarding enemy vessel. Without the addition that an assault also justifies shooting their dense nature would let them wait for the bombardment. .... droids ... :lol:

 

That's why I usually just have two gencores on my planets and rather have production and training facilities on the other slots. The cannons won't hold off the AI.

I usually put one Ion on Coruscant or in the HQ, in case I need to evacuate.

Couple of GenCore in the most important worlds. Other than that, I don't worry to much about it.

One interesting side effect of Ion Canons I read in the game's manual is their presance thwarts enemy attempts to detect any missions you are undertaking on a said protected system... :roll:
