40 for me.

I think I might know your problem. Are you trying to run the program through the start menu? If you are the installation doesn't put the executable shortcut there. You need to go into the rebed folder found in the program files folder on your hard drive(or wherever you installed it). The exe is in there. and this was the problem i originally had with rebed too...it was installed fine, just playing hide and seek with me....and winning.

just curious...who created the original reb-ed program? was it someone connected with this site? and where'd they go?

lee lost at gettysburg because he had no where near overwhelming firepower and sacrificed the initiative on the first and second days of the battle, dooming any attack made on the third day...

just started reading this today, and i must say thats its a very enjoyable read...i look foward to the next chapters.

Read 'Beyond A boundary.' Its by a cricket player from the West Indies whose name I can't remember (CL James maybe?) It is one of the most boring books I have ever read, but does do a fair job of explaining the sport. I've done my best to forget most of it, so i can't really help with the question myself.

yet....just wait for the modpack to be released...

but there are other bounty hunters on the imperial side in the original version...and in the films of the OT, he's pretty clearly on the imperial side...he's usually one of the first guys I add any time I do a mod, though i do sometimes pay attention to his freelance nature, making him recruitable by both sides.

I'm through with petitions...lets just sieze control of LucasArts...i mean with all the war fighting experience we have with rebellion, it should be easy right? then we can make lucas do whatever we want...

or have a few more maybe...

if i remember correctly, i once read something that (pretty pursuasively) argued that even the Imperial class was overkill for its intended purpose...which would make the Imperium well beyond the bounds of ridiculousness.

id imagine it depends on the shield...some are stronger than others, unlike rebellion, there seems to be many varieties of shielding available...ranging from the small-scale base protection of hoth, to global shielding like that around Ukio, to the complex, layered defenses of coruscant. basically, there is no set formula to taking down a shield system, but in general, the richer and more developed the planet, the tougher it will be to knock it out. the generic shields of rebellion however, take something away from this to the point where it basically comes down to, the more generators you have, the stronger it will be.

fighters and bombers can't caputure prisoners, which was supposed to be one of the primary motives of going after the rebel base there.

So I guess we're both right. On another note, from the Episode III trailers it appears that dreadnaughts are a Seperatist design, not a Republic ship after all. according to most of the EU stuff i've read, the dreadnaught design (i think more a type of ship in general than a specific class) predates the separtist movement by hundreds or even thousands of years....the katana fleet was a republic fleet build before the start of the clone wars, and was made up of dreadnaughts (though lucas has already done his share to discredit a lot of what zahn came up with, so one more thing wouldnt be too far out of line.)

actually i thought it was the other way around, that it was designed primarily to support ground troops during the clone wars, while the dreadnaughts and other ships escorted them and dealt with capital ships.

the main problem i've always had with star fighters and torps in the game is the fact that they are essentially unlimited, not there relative effectiveness...instead of the 60-100 that a squadron would carry, there's essentially no limit to the damage that a group of fighters can do.

or very many fighters that could operate independently of capital ships.

Outside of the original Zahn Trilogy, I've been generally dissapointed with the EU. There always seems to be a tendency for each author to out-do the other, by adding more and more Jedi or ridiculous stories. The NJO has been enjoyable, but has had to deal with the stupidity of the earlier novels. The fact that the novels were not written in any particular order or by the same writers has let to glaring discrepancies not just with the films, but also within the EU books themselves.

It would explain several things...why he could meet his daughter without knowing he had one, how he could see a droid he made and not recall. The idea of him being traumatized by Tatooine though does have some merit too, as I don't think he's ever shown going down to the planet itself during the original trilogy. This would provide a strong enough reason for Kenobi to have choosen it as a hiding place for himself and Luke.

Someone (Luke or Han) says it as the Falcon is approaching the Death Star in Episode 4, I believe Leia says it at some point in ESB and I think I remember Han saying it in ROTJ.

IF you count guys like C'Baoth, Solusar, and the Emperor's Hands, then its not so clear that there was even a numerical balance, though this wouldn't seem to be what they mean by balance. How could Anakin becoming one more of a few thousand Jedi balance out what was supposed to be only 2 Sith? In this sense, he and Palpatine do get close to bringing the Force to balance numerically by killing (according to the films only) all but two of the Jedi. It would seem more likely that the prophecy would be bringing the power of light and dark into balance, rather than sheer numbers. As they reveal in Episode II, the Sith were affecting the Jedi's ability to read the Force..ie the scales were tipped toward the Dark Side...the Jedi (or at least Qui Gon) saw Anakin as the equalizer to that...in ROTJ, however, according to Lucas, Luke eliminates evil entirely, tipping the balance to the Light.

After Zahn came out with C'Baoth, I've had the vague beginnings of a theory that Kenobi and Yoda would have been cloned, and that these clones were killed during the rise of Palpatine, thus allowing the two of them to escape virtually unoticed.

A little late...but someone asked why our modern weapons are not found in SW....but i recall them being mentioned at least once. In one of the Zahn books i remember a character on an out of the way planet using a "slug-thrower," which seems to be just a different way of saying "gun."

my problem with the pre-NJO books is that there are so many Jedi--and this carries over into the NJO era books as well. After such a complete purge, it should have taken several generations to recreate the jedi order, not 20 years. Even allowing for spontaneous (ie, non-genetic) force ability, i don't see how there could be so many Jedi by the time of the VOng invasion. The worst part is, that most of the new jedi aren't of this "spontaneous" variety, but instead descendents of old Jedi who miraclulously escaped the purge, or Jedi who sat out the Civil War. The reason seems to be similar to the idea of each author trying to out-do the last's creation of Jedi by making the most powerful...each felt the need to create their own groups of Jedi...resulting in just too many. Luke goes from the last of the old, to the first of the new, to one among dozens.

unless you drive a delorian.
