you can still read it

Ok I'll give it a look

A most...intresting.... story

I know... I signed in what side are you on and what is your post?

Congrats on your next promotion. I'm starting a new post there so you should reply on the RPG forum again.

Ok I posted a new topic on the RPG forum

Guys this isn't MSN...

 

I think i average something like 14 posts a day on my other forum.

 

Anyway, Endor... why did the Alliance bother sending capital ships?

sorry

I believe they sent capital ships to create a perimeter and avoid the fighters being suprised as they exit the ds

Just seems a waste when they've got hyperdrive equipped starfighters.

don't forget Mon Mothma says it isn't very defended but not undefended

Well perhaps they thought there'd be a few Imperial capitol ships that could have distracted the fighters..

Guys. Try to avoid spamming next time This site is really not about gathering ranks...

 

I think, there was need for the capital ships. Even if the alliance did'nt count with imperial fleets, the starfighters had to have some support out there. Like if one of the x-wings was damaged or out of torpedos, it still could return to the hangar of the MC. The other bigger ships without hangars, well they possibly were sent to distract as many Tie fighters as possible.

And it would be far too risky to send all the fighters and leave the fleet without any.

And if the leaders of the wings were destroyed the fighters could then rely on the capitol ships for directions

I think the question here is thus: Why not send the capitol ships?

That's a could point

Here we go again...

I was wondering: how many fleets do the Imperials have?

thousands upon thousands of ships

But How many actual Fleets?

Congrats on your 100th post! As for the fleets...might have to look that one up

Hard question, they had at least 25000 thousand ISDs, possibly a few hundred thousand of otehr crafts. At it maximum height the Empire controlled over a thousand sectors, so you'd have at least 1000 sector fleets, but you would need extra protection for places like Kuat, Corellia, Coruscant, Yaga Minor, plus all the fleets with other duties...

I doubt important sectors had extra fleets, just bigge fleets. Important planets might have their own fleets though.

Raises the question how the Rebellion won in the end. With 25,000 ISDs there had to be plenty left in loyal Imperial hands to crush the Rebellion....

Certainly... but you still have to find the Rebellion.

I'm refering to after Endor when they were more open.
