Battle for Coruscant - Imperial NJO era
DarthTofu replied to Defender_16's topic in General Discussion
I think the Empire would have kicked ass rather sevierly. Assuming that Palpy and Vader are still there, the two could use the shadow bomb method in a rediculously effective manner, hurling them from the base of Coruscant. Also, palpy and Vader could have used a C'abaoth style link to bring forces directly into the middle of the Yuzhan Vong craft (On the sides that the Dovin Basals weren't working on). Also, if Grand Admiral 50-gillion interdictor-cruisers-Thrawn were there, the Dovin Basals would have a had a ridiculously hard time working on it. Also, if the Death Stars were still around... All I can say is bye-bye Grand class cruisers. Oh, yes, and I forgot to mention- the Empire would also have somewheer around six or seven SSDs to help fight as well. This is all assuming that the Rebels never came in and never destroyed anything of the Empire's -
Its just the people from Roswell's family arriving... Jeese, guys, it isn't that big of a deal! Anyway, I might have a solution- this is assuming that it was colored in some way. Sometimes there are phenomenon sort of like the Northern Lights that will spontaneously take place in some places in the world. Gases in the atmosphere will ignite or be hit by light at an angle, or something like that, and can creat what appears to be a strange light or ship. Though if it was ridiculously small looking, I have no answers for you. And I was kidding about the Roswell thing, before anyone get's on my case. Keep a lookout for more UFOs, Defender!

I too have heard that it will take place on several 2-D planes in space fighting. I believe it is mentioned somewhere in an old issue of PC gamer. At least according to my friend who gets the magazine- I'm too cheap to actually buy it. lol.

Hense the massive red bull hangover.... Seriously- nobody saw that episode of NCIS? I had a similar encounter. It was pretty late (About 9:00... On a bloody Thursday night with 2 and a half god damned hours before we finally got back to school to try to do our homework really fast so we could go to bed by 1:00 in the morning and get up for school at 7:00 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and we were, as I have mentioned, driving home from an away football game in a slow bus with no air. (By 'we' that entails the marching band) Anyway, as we're going along, I notice this strange light flashing on the trees. Periodically it follows the bus, stoping with us at red lights, and following us at full speed. I'm starting to get freaked out when a semi goes by, and on that semi is what looks like a screaming face. I turn around to ook out the back at the semi, and already its gone. I'm starting to get kinda freaked out when suddenly I realize that we're moving really fast, so that semi could very easily have passed. I also suddenly realised that the strange light flashing on the trees was coming from a strobe attached to the top of the bus that was meant to make it more visible. For some reason all of my close encounters usually wind up having logical explanations... Clearly the government is intervening!

All I had was red bull... Audiance: How many? Just thirty-seven. NCIS rocks... But I think I may have solved the great mystery- see, I was lying on the couch eating Oreos, and now the quality control sticker is gone... Still, what are the odds that it would wind up being straight up and down on my ancle?
-
Okay... I don't think that's beyond the school's ability. We sure as hell have enough computers, and I don't think networking them'll be an issue... Anything else that you feel is a really good thing to have?

Yes, but let's say that you have yet to explore sector X. You go through sector Y, find no one down on any of the planets, and, say one or two Imperial planets with nothing of any value and no characters, and only one or two building slots. You leave those planets and head over to sector Y on system Z. Vader, who is in system W of sector Y, sees your fleet blockading system Z and goes "Oh, crap" and runs away to one of the Imperial planets that you just sweeped in sector X and found no one on. YOu don't know of this, so you bassically miss Vader and get nothing for oyur trouble. See what I mean now? You can't find Vader if hekeeps having somewhere to run to.

Not gonna work particularly well, mister uno. Remember, the AI can move Vader the same as you can can move Luke or Mon Mothma. The only way to ensure that the Empire isn't going to use a planet to stasha character is to send down an invasion crew/ diplomatic crew and take over down there. OTherwise, the AI might wait until one system is "cleaned" by you before sending Vader back there as you start to invade the system that he's in. (Seriously, I think he's that run-aroundy). So just make, like, 50 gillion regiments of SUllistens from your troop center plant planet and put them in your fleets to take over the galaxy with as garrison troops... Or you can go for the good, tedious, and slightly easier strategy of blockading a planet, taking over, and sending a diplomat or team of diplomats down to get 100% loyalty out of the population.

Might want to throw in some stats, too... Tyran Celchu Cousin to the famed Tycho Celchu, it was a little known fact that Tyran was not on ALderran when the planet was destroyed. He was on a sattelite facitility for a holonet company performing repairs at the time of its destruction, and became too sidetracked to remember to call in and wish his cousin a happy birthday. WHen he heard of his home planet's destruction, the news broke him. Fed Imperial propoganda that the Rebels, attempting to create a weapon to match the famed Death Star had destroyed his planet, he went into a state of what he believed to be Patriotism. Joining the Imperial forces, he put his expertises to use, ready to avenge those who had fallen, including his brother who he believed to have been on leave for his birthday. Diplomacy: 30 (10) Espionage: 99 (15) Combat: 60 (10) Leadership: 20 (5) Force user: no Loyalty: High chance of becoming a traitor. (He might hear the real news or run into his bro, or something- ya never know!) Facility design: yes Troop Training: no Ship Design: yes Feel free to edit stats and whatnot. I don't know if you can mod loyalty ratings, but I feel that if you did that what add a touch of realism to it. For appearance, he basically looks like Tycho, except with black hair.

HOLY CRAP! I have proof that there are aliens out there and that I was abducted just the previous night! This morning when I woke up I yawned, looked at the clock, went back to sleep, and repeated this until it was about 8:30. Then I got out of bed and looked at my ankle, and lo and behold- there was a sticker on it! On the sticker was written "Q. C. Passed", with "Passed" Beneath the letters Q. C. Its written in blue letters on a white background. Proof of aliens doing Quality Control on humans! Proof that they abducted me and speak English! Okay, so maybe it doesn't proove of aliens, but the thing was frigging straight up and down, parllel to the ground, and when I pealed it off the thing was like a fresh band aid, and it had no hairs on it other than my own. How weird is that? Maybe burglers came in the night and put the sticker on me or something?

Umm, what's a render farm? lol, I'm a n00b when it comes to CAD software- like I've said before, I have some limited abilities with Auto CAD 2005 and AutoDesk Inventer. I haven't actually used the program- I just fofered to ask some people who might know how to use it about it.
-
Basically (I'm not in charge of it, so I don't entirely know) we need a short, sweet film about robotics. This probably means importing video clips from other programs (I know that it was on realplayer live when the competition was happening last year- watched as our team won on my compy!) anyway, I think it needs text, video clips, and, possibly, music. I'll see if I can get our president to sign on at school sometime with the specifics. he enjoys being ridiculously vague about what is needed...
-
That's the thing- I don't know who it was by or where I got it, but I remembered reading some futuristic novels where mankind was being attacked by aliens and were almost whiped out, and throughout the story you think that the aliens initiated hostilities when it was really Earth being overly cautious. or something like that. There was also some Arthur C. Clarke one or another with alien invaders that are winning when the humans turn some giant de-evolution ray on their home planet, resulting with the planet Earth as it is now.
-
To bait him? Hmm, maybe if you take Luke and have him get captured he'll be taken to Vader where he 'overpowers' him and takes him back, but A: Luke has to be a Jedi Knight and B: I don't know f this works when you have Palpy and Coruscant. I'd save my game before trying that strategy.
-
Hacky sack... Whee... Its actually pretty popular here, and you'd be surprised what people can do with it. THey're going around kicking it up and behind them andother freaky stuff... But I still need 3D max stuff if anyone's got it!
-
Uh, dude, let's face it- we aren't about to get attacked by some psycho aliens with Death Rays. Independance Day was a Science Fiction movie. And we do have a population limit solution: Canabalism. Just take someone you hate and eat them, then the world's population goes down and world hunger is also ended. Hey, why is everyone coming at me with a fork? Guys? Guys?

Okay, about the same time I was born, an increadible piece of technology came out: The fat mac home computer. A little after that, another modle came out that was in colour and allowed people to play games and other educational software. Then AOL arrose and sent out thousands of free disks, one of which included many great, ancient games, like Tank, and Silicone Volleyball. Among these games was the great (Bumbadabum!) Star Wars Trivia game. Designed by some guy I don't know, it asks several questions, including who the bounty hunter is that Leiah impersonates and a few dozen others. Did anyone else ever play that trivia game, and if so, did they ever get the answers to it? I was driven mad trying to figure out what they were!
-
Hey, another Floridian on the site! W00t! I'm deffintately going to do Empire at war, but if the game turns out to be a bunch of crap and propaganda where the tanks blow your own characters up and it has all of the issues that I had with Age of Empires, I'll be freakin' pissed. I still think I'll put in the ocassional Rebellion spree at 11:00 on a school night or something, though.

No, remember, we lost the space race with Russia but we made it to the moon before them- that's why it would be funny. There's irony there. We now return to our regularly scheduled topic.
-
Anyone here know how to use the program? The robotics club at my school might be able to get a sponcership deal witht them, but we have to make a short program about our robotics club using the software. I'm not asking anyone to do it for us (Though that would be nice) but if anyone knows how to use it really well and can offer pointers, or something, then they might be helpful to have.
-
And I shall commandeer the craft for the mission and go there first! Or something like it. HOw funny would it be if Russia got to Mars before us? As for Roswell haters... Yeah, I guess I have to agree with you there, but there have been some weird unexplained phenomenan concerning aliens, such as in the mid 1900s a UFO was sited over Paris. When two fighter planes went up to check it out, both experianced the same failure at the same time for unidentified reasons. Just saying, there is some stuff that has yet to be explained.
-
No, big statues don't give you power over weak minds- the force does! Though I'll say that those who would denounce Buddists or say that they are 'wrong' in their religion are mentally handicapped, in my opinion. Buddists have no set of gods which they worship, only a path through which to become better people. Why such were ever slaughtered I have no idea.

I would like to direct everyone's attnetion to exhibit A: Roswell, in which we made first contact with aliens life! (Runs around screaming and high on life). Okay, now that that's over, I have to agree with Thrawn. There are ways that we could travel to other galaxies, we just don't know them. What if, to steal from my favorite show a certain concept, we manage to find some method through which we can take our bodies, take them down to atoms, send them through wormholes and somehow recover them? We have a new galaxy to explore. And I think we're also forgetting the space probes that have been sent out- while obsolete, there is every possibility that they will some day encounter an alien life long after we have forgotten about them and send us back information.
-
Well, for one thing we don't know if alien life out there is just at about the same technology level as us, trying to get to their own moon, or something like that. And by the way, Jahled, I think I have a shortcut that you failed to mention- black holes and white holes. Sure you would be sucked in, curshed in the singularity to something the aproximate size of an atom, spat out, sucked back in, and obliterated, but you still might get to another point int he universe for 1 quagillionth of a second!
