What a literary genius you must be :roll: Let me know if/when you finish reading "Crime and Punishment", "War and Peace", "The Tale of Two Cities", "The Heart of Darkness" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Then I'll give you a "dewey" button. :)

Finally, after years of hard work I am the Supreme Sith Warlord! Muwhahahaha!! What?? What do you mean "there's only two of us"?
Give me the dewey button. I deserve it.
Count Dooku is the strongest Star Wars character as depicted in the movies. All hail Christopher Lee.
Gentlement, this isn't the place for childish bickering. If you want to argue over a frivolous topic please do so using PMs instead of wasting time here on the boards.

History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all.

It has gotten a bit off track. If it keeps going I'll hijack it and turn it into one of my "Dooku is the strongest SW movie character of all time" arguments

/me chooses to completely ignore AdmiralToguroAni(Which I just spelled correctly via copy paste, thank you very much). Alright, so in the grand scheme of things, how much do tractor beams really affect over-all ship performance? Can they keep a ship from rotating to present the most weaponry in the shortest period of time?

From what I've seen, they only seem to slow enemy sublight movement down. The enemy is still able to rotate, fire, and enter into hyperspace while under a tractor beam.

Thats probably correct. However, SSD's dont have 500 turbolasers in front either. Rebellion doesn't always stick with the EU for its battle mechanics

Other way around, I think. EU is sort of based on Rebellion... which was (I think) sort of based off of the Zahn books when they first came out. If you read the X-wing Rogue Squadron books all of the ships utalized are in the game. Haven't read too many other novels, so I don't know if they correspond...

several of the older EU books were made before Rebellion came out. The Zahn trilogy, whatever Daala's first appearance was in, as well as those other imperial officers that dont make the cut in the movie. You're probably right in assuming that the later novels used Rebellion to guage the power of ships, but Rebellion still doesn't follow canon in terms of how many lasers ships have and what tractor beams and such can do. This was probably intentional to speed up the combat though.

That's probably the thing I'd like to have most of all, they feel so inadequat compared to what they could be...

And ofcourse hijacking ships wouldn't be wrong either...

I would direct you gentlemen to some Empire at War sites. Going to be a frickin' awesome game...
