Defender_16

Good luck waiting a month for your car to get up to flank speed. Now THAT is interesting. Cant say I've ever seen a watch set up that way before. Lol! The sound for; "Luke you mofo pull up!" Good song, could care less about the video though.

"Desktop Tower Defense" (PC) A Game of the year title? I dunno, but it's damn addictive!

Mad that's the BTL-S8 K-Wing and a modification to it I've been making in an attempt to improve the design. The best pictures of it are from the HW2 Warlords Mod. Unfortunately I wasnt able to find any pics of it in the pictures thread. You can find some drawings of it on Wookiepedia. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/thumb/2/27/K-Wing_NEGVV.jpg/250px-K-Wing_NEGVV.jpg K-wing 2 / Heavy K-wing Modification. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/K-wing2test2-1.gif This beast's primary weapons consist of 2 interchangable weapons modules which carry either 6 Turbolasers or 8 missile tubes. For defense she's fitted with 2 B-wing Sheild Generators and Dual laser turrets. Thanks to advances in engine design the speed is slightly faster than the origional B-wing. In addition it can be outfitted to carry any Tendran Arms heavy or special ordinance with the exception of the biggest Captial Ship grade weapons.

Wow that's incredible. I mean, the one lady at work has a head desnse enough to create a half gravity without much obvious size so I guess it's possible after all.

For Tex's avatar today there's a heavy snowfall warning in effect with the possibility of freezing rain later on. Please remember to stay off the roads if you can and stay tuned to your local weather forcast for updates.

How many living things do you know that can create crushing gravity effects? I'm sure not all the rules are the same.

One of Bad's 2 most hated vehicles. Wasn't TIE related so I was able to do some work on it.

I've liked this song for awhile now, I just never looked it up before. Now all we need to do is figure out a way to equip the thing with Jump Jets and Robert Heinlin will have accurately predicted the future.

What kind of beer is that J? Just because anyone can edit it doesn't mean the moderators and admin wont revert the page or just ban you if they dont like what you added. I've seen it happen. [/paraphrase]

Yes, I was under the impression that all the ties used the same basic cockpit/hull. That's why I scaled the Interceptor and Fighter until their cockpit's were exactly the same size from 2 diffrient images. I intentionally scaled them to the exact same cockpit size to show how big each fighter would actually be if we followed how everyone figured the things are supposed to be built. (I kinda took for granted that everyone got that.) All Tie images were downloaded from the images on Wookiepedia since they regard them as Cannon. @Jan: Your url didnt work btw. Also, you might want to try breaking up your text a bit. All I saw at first was a big block of text and I had to try hard not to just skip over it.

It's from the new comic book "Atomic Robo." The first 3 issues sold out. I've pre-ordered issue 4 and 5 so I might finally be able to get a copy. http://www.nuklearpower.com/images/megacon_robo.jpg

Nice J. *Loads shotgun* Krytos, there's something behind you, kinda pink with a skull. Is anyone here registered with Wookiepedia? We've got to do something about the serious size issue with the Tie Interceptor... that or the Tie Fighter is listed as being too small. I'm not registered so I'm certain I'd be summarily ignored. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/TieFightersScaleComparison.gif The Interceptor actually does work out as being a little wider due to the cannon systems inside the wing arrays. The false length however is inexcusable.

Just a simple one for me this year. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/AtomicRoboAvatarX-mas.jpg

(Ignore everything in Red text.) Getting set to do an Ugly design that Bad suggested but needed Y-wing parts first. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Y-wing.gif EDIT: I just tried fitting Y-wing nacels to a Tie cockpit using the supposedly correct scale I've been drawing in. http://premium1.uploadit.org/MaxOutrider/ShipImages/TYE-wing.jpg This is what it's supposed to look like and would if the cockpit wasnt ...50-60% larger than that. EDIT2: While the Tie Interceptor and Tie Starfighter cockpits dont scale down to the same size, both of them appear to be smaller than the one I've been using. I must have screwed up when resizing hull sections or something. In either case consider all previous recent tie designs by me to be improperly done. Oh god, they're ruined! *Cries*

Oh crap! I dont even know what I'm going to make this time. The last one was barely ready in time.

Tripple post for the spam related fail. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/eot18hr6.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/Dodgemotiv.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/familiarsec2.jpg

Krytos, while that story's kinda freaky I also found it kinda hilarious. Though I'm sure the people with the pet hadn't though so. (Was waiting for the vet to say it'd eaten the neighbour's dog... or kid.) Secrets of the prequel movies. Stephen Colbert in Team Fortress 2? Fry is up to no good

I set DS production to 1/1 this one time... and they didnt build any.

Sorry Rob I dont happen to remember. What was it on? Where's Luke? M/S Explorer crashes Please Hold!

+++ A Star Destroyer and her escort were pulled from hyperspace by a gravity well that shouldn’t have been there. Within bare moments of reversion Tie Bombers and Interceptors poured from her launch bays ready to face down whatever threat stood in their way. The sensors officer look up from the crew pit. "We're detecting the Dominator class Interdictor 'Craven Net' and four Vindicator class cruisers. There are also several light ships long with them." "Contact The General." Rumbled the Captain's gravelly voice. "Let him know we've encountered the enemy and are going to hold their attention for a few minutes." "Yes sir!" Responded the com officer. Captain Jhemiti, the Mon Cal commander of the Destroyer Coercion, walked to the front of the bridge and looked out through the viewports before the blast shutters began to close in preparation for battle. "Tell starfighters to raise shields, we're not going to be bluffing this time." +++ Twenty minutes later the Star Destroyer Blacken and her group reverted to realspace on the edge of the artificial gravity well. "Where's Coercion and Rough Justice?" Demanded Iblis. "Sixty degrees to port sir. They're engaging the Interdictor's escorts at maximum range." Garm studied the holo displays. "All ships set an intercept course for the Intedictor and Launch Fighters. Tell Cracken that I want his fighters out there assisting Coercion as soon as possible." "Aye." Mixed squadrons of Uglies and other commonly found starfighters poured from the launch bays of Two Imperial class ships and several freighters. Nearly two full squadrons of A-wings broke away from the other fighters and accelerated towards the battle. Seeing the new incoming threat one of the Vindicator class cruisers broke off her long range Turbolaser exchange with Coercion's group and placed herself to protect the Interdictor. "Cracken to Flight Group, we've got Squints forming up around that Vindicator up ahead. Shake them up with missiles at range, then we split by squadrons and hit them with crossfire." Once the A-wing fighters were in range Pash waited long enough for everyone to attempt missile locks. "Three... Two..." he whispered under his breath, mentally timing and judging for distance. "Launch missiles! Aaaand.... break! Break! Break!" Many of the Interceptors concentrated on shooting down the incoming missiles while others turned as the Rebel fighters changed course. Each A-Wing swivelled their laser cannon to point nearly 90 degrees off their new headings and fired at the Ties now caught in a crossfire. A few Ties exploded either from missile or laser hits while most of the others went evasive. "Target the closest Vindicator with missiles but keep fire on the Ties." Both groups of A-wings found themselves sweeping past and around the Interceptor screen, closing in on the cruiser they’d been defending. Some of the Interceptors were able to break away from the confused tumble their main formation had become and pursue, but with nearly full squadrons of A-wings present it only required a couple to put down an effective suppression fire. "Launch missiles at two 'Kay." Right on cue the Rebel fighters fired their second volley of missiles then turned their lasers on the Cruiser to compound any damage. Even as the A-wings bore down on the ship and swept past, dodging it's fire, the Interdictor was beginning to maneuver. The bow of the mile long ship came up bringing her entire port side battery to bear on the Rebel fighters. The huge beams of Heavy Turbolaser bolts flashed out from the ship creating a halo of green energy fire around the Vindicator. One unlucky A-wing caught part of a bolt, melting the cockpit and engines clean away. "Let's finish our figure eight people! It'll help draw the Interdictor's fire." "Iblis to Cracken." Called the General over the tactical channel. "Go ahead general." Responded the pilot as his fighter was rocked from a near miss. "The Interdictor is using it's bulk to shield something. Keep an eye out. They're jamming sensors and Coercion cant get a good look." "Gotcha. A-wings! Let's take this one out a bit wider than normal." Instead of turning in harder to close on whatever was behind the large Imperial ship the Rebels swung out farther. When the contact came into view Pash felt his blood go cold. "Lancer Deuce behind the Interdictor! Break by flights and head for Coercion!" Once the A-wings started to break formation and head for the Rebel capital ships the Lancer opened fire. Banks of Quad Laser cannon fired in sequence at maximum range scoring shield hits on a handful of the fleeing A-wing fighters. +++ "All ships maximum speed!" Called out the old General. "Sensors keep sensor locks on that Lancer Frigate and continuously update it's position to our fighters." "Yes sir!" Up ahead the mixed Rebel starfighter wing crashed through the badly disorganised Interceptor squadrons. Meanwhile the A-wings were now helping to attack the line of Vindicators and Carrack Cruisers engaging Coercion. The Shielded Tie Bombers and Interceptors used by the Rebels were slowly winning the battle against the mostly unshielded Imperial Interceptors. The Imp Tie Bombers however were still holding their own. Armed with both Torpedoes and missiles, and sporting the same shield systems as the Scimitar Assault Bomber they were a force to be reckoned with. "Interdictor is coming about sir." "Are they going to charge us?" wondered the old General out loud. "Sorry sir, they're changing course. Moving to form up with the cruiser line exchanging fire with Coercion. All of them look to be preparing for hyperspace." "We cant let them run. Keep hitting them!" Slowly but steadily now all of the Imperial capital ships were repositioning for a jump to hyperspace. The Tie's then began a mad rush back to their carriers while the heavier ships redirected their fire against the Rebel starfighters. "Interdiction field is gone." Iblis pointed to the flight coordinator. "Begin recovering all non-hyperspace capable fighters." Within a second of each other the entire Imperial force jumped out, their white hulls flashing off into the distance. "Sithspit. Plot their jump and transmit to all ships! Rough Justice is to stay behind and finish recovery operations." As the bridge crew got to work Iblis pulled out his comlink. "Iblis to Cracken." "I hear you General." "As soon as you get the hyperspace coordinates I want you to jump ahead and intercept that fleet. We'll be right behind you so you shouldn’t have to hold for long." Cracken looked through the sensor screen on his A-wing and counted the operational starfighters not running for the Destroyers. "It looks like I've got about five, nearly six squadrons of fighters here that can jump. The Imps still had more than twice that many plus the Lancer." "Do what you have to Commander but don’t let them continue farther up the Rimma. Iblis out." 084

Sound like a diffrient version of the A-wing Slash. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/A-wing_Slash Here's a tactic I could definitely improve at. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Reverse_Throttle_Hop Oh man, I've overshot my target so many times when flying faster fighters like A-wings and Tie Defenders.

It all seems... very ambitious still at the moment. I'll have to see what your GUI ends up looking like before I get a good understanding of how this'll all handle. Btw. Do you have any plans on number of star systems etc?
