I think that making the forum URL http://www.swrebellion.com/forums or anything that simple would be great! I also think that maybe we should be a "guest-friendly" forum...like, having the "Questions from Newbies" forum be the only forum where non-members would be allowed...but maybe that's just me.... Also, I've always wondered about the "Members Only" forum and "RPG 2" forum? What are they for? At least one of them isn't active....

It's being worked on....

I mean, I know he's native to Costa Rica, but unless he has the A/C cranked to full, it can't possibly be 35 degrees in Costa Rica...can it?

Sorry about that, what I was trying to say was: "I hope everything is coming along all right, dude; I always try to include you, my friend, when I drop God a lone!" I seem to be not ver good at making clearly statements. EDIT: ARGH! I mean clear statements!

Considering I suck at making anything that involved the word "image" (much less "image" and "computer" together in the same statement) and consequentally have to bum off everyone else's skills to make my own, making odd requests and my own skills only succeeding in making strange, if not undeniably crude pieces of crap, I believe your images are pretty damned good! Keep up the good work!

That bad, huh? Sorry to hear it. Trej, you're in Germany, right?

It would be interesting, but no plans as of now. I'll start by making an officer costume, then stormtrooper and/or sandtrooper armor.

WOOt! Now: Eminem(?) - Slim Shady (Darth Vader remix)

LOL!!! :lol: :lol: That is AWESOME!!! :lol: :lol: EDIT: It just kind-of cuts off, though.

Tell you what, if I get to go I will make a shirt that says "www.swrebellion.com" right across my boobs. Forget that, wear a metal bikini and string a banner in-between them! LOL, ok I will work on that. But who wants to pony up the $400 for the outfit off ebay? Hmm...I'm sure you'll think of something. Perhaps you could...borrow some dinosaur bones and, say...trade them in more money? Nevermind, that's perfect!

I'm listening to the TIE Fighter remix, that's pretty awesome stuff! Have any of you listened to the "Imperial March" remixes on the game Force Commander (which you can download here).

Thanks, and it is equally good to see you! I hope everything is coming along all right, dude; I always try to include when I drop God a line!

I realize I'll sound ignorant, but there's a digital version of the SWR manual? And there are different editions of the game? :

I don't know the artist name nor the song's (it's on the radio), but the chorus go something like this: "(And) I don't wanna feel like I did that day. Take me to the place I love; Take me all the way. (No) I don't ever feel like I did that day! Take me to the place I love; Take me all the way!" And the singer talks about how "The City of Angels" is his only friend, and how he walked the sidewalks and drives the roads just to feel like he isn't alone.... Does anyone have a clue of what I speak?

Tell you what, if I get to go I will make a shirt that says "www.swrebellion.com" right across my boobs. Forget that, wear a metal bikini and string a banner in-between them!

Lieutenant SOCL of the Hoth Snowboarding Regiment? Dude, that's wrong...but HILLARIOUS!!! :lol: I tip my helmet to you, it was low but funny blow. It depends on whether I make it myself or purchase it. Most sites only give you tips on how to make a costume (some better than others); this is one of the few sites that sells them fully made and they're pretty good (the best I've found so far).

Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

I'm curious....

I'm sorry, what? Laugh it up...yes, of course it's wrong. What I obviously meant was The 501st Legion.

I remember someone asked about Star Wars reenacting and I made a joke about not being able to due to a lack of dewbacks. Well, maybe some you know about this but I wasn't aware: The 501st. These are a bunch of Star Wars fans from all over the world who make Star Wars costumes. There's an outpost in my local area I plan to join and I'll be sure to post pictures of my future officer's uniform and stormtrooper armor. We still lack dewbacks though...Scath, Trej would either of you like to volunteer? EDIT: Jeez, I must be an idiot! Mad posted a link to the 501st on page 1! I'm either an idiot or blind!

A very good song! Velvet Revolver - Slither

Basically, think of grand admiral as rank you can't really achieve by conventional means (in other words, you can't be promoted to it from the rank of high admiral), instead, you had to be directly appointed by the Emperor himself. You can think of it like the Hands, but you can also think of it as Cabinet positions in the governments (except not needing a Senate confirmation hearing per individual). Another comparison is to a Moff, Grand Moff, or Supreme Moff...officials who answer directly to the Emperor without that pesky political ladder, expect in the case of a Grand Admiral, they are primarily military commanders versus Moffs who are primarily governors. Of course, that's not to say that Grand Admirals can't be governors and Moffs can't be military commanders. To put it crudely (this is an example that applies to all most all cases), Moffs are basically civilians and Grand Admirals are military (again, this is generalization...there are exceptions).

Actually, the rank of Grand Admiral comes to use from the Third Reich's Navy of WWII where the highest rank was, in fact, grand admiral (esp. in the case of Doitz, leader of the Third Reich after Hitler). The rest of what you said is addressed by Dr. Saxton at his website. You might want to read through that, _Thrawn...he cites his sources. EDIT: Also, I thought I should address the fact that High Admirals are pretty much necessary. You see, Grand Admirals aren't an official rank...if you're an officer in the Empire, you aren't guaranteed to have a Grand Admiral at the top of your chain-of-command, but you are guaranteed to have Admirals, Fleet Admirals, and at least one High Admiral. It's the same thing as the Five-Star officers in the USA's Armed Forces, the rank exists, but that doesn't mean there are any persons of the rank in active duty (or alive) and, therefore, it doesn't mean any given person will fall under the eventual command of a Five-Star. I hope that made sense.

Concerning the thread's topic, if you're looking for the name of Star Destroyers and Mon Cal cruisers, check out this site. Other than containing an all right amount of information concerning stats for these two class of warships, you'll also find pretty much complete (other than NJO series) lists of Star Destroyers and Mon Cal cruiser names.
