LINKS LIKELY TO BE DEAD THIS IS MONTHS OLD
Mornin' gents, I have two simple questions for you guys.
1. Is it believable that Mon Mothma would have a son before the clone wars who would be around the age of 12-14 when order 66 started,and...
2. would you find it believable that she would do the opposite of the Organa's and distance him from the rebellion for his protection?
Kreia was right to do what she did.
Third for Trioculos/Kylo Ren.
>>46008350
Why exactly?
>>46008412
Because force users are the root cause of most of the galaxies ills of course.
>>46008595
Because, y'know, Force users are the ones who slaughtered over 90% of the Cathar species, and then enslaved the majority of the survivors.
>>46008693
That sounds like jedi apologist talk to me.
>>46008302
1. Mon Mothma is pretty hot around the prequels, judging by the actress in episode three. She doesn't look that old (although i guess you could say she's vaguely 28-35?), and I would not say it's very belivable, but if it's what's needed for your campaign, why not.
2. By the time the rebellion is a thing, the boy would be old enough that the point is irrelevant. If she distances herself from the boy, it's because it's your classical teen pregnancy coverup. You know, adopted to an aunt, or her mother, or whatever.
>>46008302
Mon Mothma definitely had a son in Legends. Instead of being distant, though, he fought and bled on the front lines with his fellow Rebels. He was the guy who said that the Imps had entered Echo Base during ESB.
>>46008595
>Im-fucking-plying
Look at this shit. How come we can't ever invade a cool planet with, like, chicks in bikinis, you know? How come planets like that don't ever need Clones? I'll tell you why. It's lack of pussy that fucks planets up! Lack of pussy is the root fucking cause of all galactic instability! If more Jedi were getting quality pussy, there'd be no reason for us to come over and fuck 'em up like this, cause a nut-busting Force-sensitive is a happy Force-sensitive.
>>46008871
Its actually for a fic im writting, but on your second point, the rebellion was being founded during the events of RotS, and both Mon and Bail knew it. I kinda wanted to have the character be a bit of a mirror to Leia. There are of coarse many other ways to do that, but to be the son of the leader of the rebellion would be an easy in, like how Leia is (effectively) the daughter of one of the rebellion's founders.
>>46008302
Mon Mothma did have a son in legendsHis body got left behind in the trenches on Hoth
>>46008871
>You know, adopted to an aunt, or her mother, or whatever.
So, Mon Mothma's kid would be Space Dermott?
>>46008923
>nut-busting Force-sensitive is a happy Force-sensitive
You know, that actually sounds like something Luke or Kyle would hint about to his students.
Not at all because a blueballed-to-the-nth-degree jedi brat royally fucked over the entire galaxy or anything.
>>46008943
That's a proto resistance though, the rebellion isn't an actual thing untill fifteen years later or so. Honestly, being related to a canon character is always a warning bell. With that said...
Shame Garm Bel Iblis family kicks it pretty early. His children/a son would have been a good and gritty foil to Leia, if you were looking for that. Hell, Bel Iblis is basicly space batman, going on a revenge spree after the death of his family.
>>46008998
Blue balled? He had a kid.
>>46008998
>something Luke or Kyle would hint about to his students
Unfortunately for the people on hose duty, Luke and Mara are sometimes get a little too happy.EVERYWHERE.
>>46008943
In what other ways would he be Leia's mirror?
>>46009372
Honestly, its mostly in superficial ways. They are both from political backgrounds, both with calls and a duty to the rebellion, However, MC is going to shun all that for a life of scum and villainy, even if he feels a need to help the galaxy, he cant. That is until he meets a character that shows him that there is more to life than surviving, and every solider can count in the rebellion (similar to how Han be come's Leia's scoundrel and shows her there is value in people, even him.)
Also, they both have a connection to the force, and while Leia may have a jedi father and brother, MC remembers the jedi, and knows that they did not betray the republic. He isnt force sensitive, however, he DOES eventually get a lightsaber. Stolen cargo from the main antagonist, Stamas the Hutt.
>>46009372
not >>46008943 but I would think that the foil for Leia would be a distant cowardly silver spoon type, think Prince Humperdinck from the princess bride.
Hell, it could even fit with the legends cannon: An asshole rich kid given position in the rebellion due to who his mother is leads a platoon of riff-raff space squadies whom he disdains for besmirching the 'purity' of the rebellion. He watches them get gunned down one by one to hold the line in echo base, leaving just him, a son of wealth an privileged who was meant to do 'great things' to die at his post on a frozen shithole; "Imperial troops have entered the base! Imperial troops have ent—"
>Jobin Mothma
>I just now realised he probably is still alive in my campaign after the party completely buttfucked Veers to the point where Death Squadron just BDZ'd the base after having to send in bombers to take down the shield
Well, I know who's going to be assigned to my players as a sidekick now

Somewhat unsurprisingly, it looks like Leia's parentage doesn't sit well with everybody.
>>46010510
Does canon *mean* anything at this point other than 'the new corporate overlords say it's okay to buy this'?
>>46010871
>no no, keep the helmet on
>>46010892
Yeah, there's less confusion and retconning now. You either have this or TCW would have swallowed the EU whole.
>>46010892
Did it mean anything before? :^)
Anyone have any Maps of Mastery PDFs?
>>46011064
>now
Key word being "now" since the timeline is still empty enough for writers to distance their works from others.
Aleena: agility 3, brawn 1, skill rank, sturdy frame ability
Bardottan: willpower 3, cunning 1, skill rank, 105xp
Devaronian: cunning 3, presence 1, skill rank in one of two skills, resilient metabolism ability.
Gungan: presence 3, intellect 1, skill rank, and amphibious. No subspecies, no primitive.
There are ten relics, almost one for every planet. A ring, lightsaber, gauntlets, helm, grimoire, dram, crown, goggles, sphere, and a tear.
So we're about to have two FFG books released, Nexus of Power and Special Modifications. What are you guys looking forward to in each? What do you want them to include?
Also the species for Special Modifications are Dugs, Besalisks, and Mustafarians.
>>46011193
The story group has intentionally made things vague, and the stories are pretty self contained. Any errors will be small, nothing like redefining the Mandolarians on the fly anymore as an example. Funnily enough you can thank Lucas for the current groundwork.
>>46011203
>Gungan: Presence 3
Wut
>>46011340
Again, it's only that way for now. I don't have much faith in the Lucasfilm story group's ability to keep things unfucked for long.
>>46011423
Right? The skill they start with is Athletics apparently.
>>46010871
>Actually TELLING people that Vader was Anakin Skywalker
y u do dis
>>46011449
That is why you fail.
>>46011203
How is the art for the Bardottans?
>>46011708
yeah, be honest how long do you honestly expect that little detail to stay secret?
>>46011742
>Trusting the people who hired Chuck Wendig instead of calling in Zahn, Stover, and Stackpole
>>46011847
Considering the only people who knew as of the end of Jedi were Luke and Leia?
>>46011851
One bad mark out of dozens of good ones is a great record to me. Not like they can control what the writing scene is turning into anyway.
>>46011948
>dozens of good ones
The comics have been of variable quality. Some are great, some are mediocre. Vidya so far is bare, with the only major post-wipe release being the god-awful Battlefront. Other than that, it's mostly shitty mobile games. Heir to the Jedi was forgettable, Lords of the Sith failed to live up to expectations, Tarkin had some good points but wasn't superb, Aftermath was garbage, and A New Dawn was genuinely good.
So far, nothing has even come close to the Thrawn Trilogy, Dark Forces, X-Wing, or TIE Fighter.
>>46012037
Okay, but those are your opinions. Others feel differently, including myself.
>>46010871
How would people find out? And where's the proof?
That's is a bit like accusing totally unrelated person that their father was in fact Hitler. Sure, you could, but who would believe it except fringers.
>Godwin's law
Forgive me Sheev, for I have sinned
Obviously narrative sense and logic isn't the same thing, but still.
>>46012089
>Leia: Hey Luke's my brother.
>Luke: Vader was my father.
Put two and two together.
>>46011884
>>46011847
Well, I mean they probably told Han. Han would keep that shit to himself, he knows how it be. They'd tell the kid(s)and look at how that worked outand in Legends Luke told his first class and his future wife. He never exactly hides the truth but he doesn't go out of his way to tell people unless there is a need to do so. Leia just kinda lives in Egypt, next to the river.
But we go from less than twenty people who know (in Legends, our nucanon is probably three people for a long time assuming Luke, Leia, and Han never bring anyone else into the circle) to enough to create a smear campaign during Leia's bid for NR senator. That's a big jump and that's also a secret that really shouldn't be out and about.
>but muh full disclosure
No. This is the shit that destabilizes governments and discredits people for life. If anything the questioning should go:
>You claim that Luke Skywalker is your brother, then who was your father? Was it Senator Bail Organa?
"My father was Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. In the closing days of the clone wars, he hid my brother and I so that we couldn't be found and exploited by the Emperor and his cronies. He died a long time ago."
>How did your father die
"I'm afraid I don't know. Before I knew Luke was my brother, he told me his father died fighting Darth Vader."
>And after you knew?
"The story didn't change at all, I don't know what you're expecting."
Never EVER tell the public "Yeah, my dad was Darth Vader". What the shit are you thinking?!
>>46012037
>god-awful Battlefront
I want this meme to die. Its fine. I still play it every once in a while, and its FINE. The game play is polished, the guns are much more balanced now, it doesnt fuck with canon, it gave us a book that had the greatest Besalisk of star wars history.
Like, what do you want out of it? Its below halo 1-4 in quality, above guardians, below MW 1 and 2, tied with 3. Its a perfectly passable FPS game.
>>46012138
And why would they tell anyone else, why or how would that become widespread information? The only reason someone would reveal this information to the galaxy would be to undermine themselves. It's a bit like the way they demilitarized the new republic for no good reason.
And that is one of my problems with the new canon. Instead of saying, "this is where the characters are, what is the next step they would take", they are going "this is the state of the galaxy/this is what needs to happen x amount of years from now, how do we get it there?"
>>46012146
>what do you want out of it
More levels than Battlefront 2, a campaign, galactic conquest, actual items instead of power-ups, finite ammo and explosives (none of that cooldown stuff), better space combat than Battlefront 2, non-rails AT-ATs, lore-accurate starfighter combat, starship spawns instead of power-ups, seamless space/ground transitions like the PSP game, and an active modding community.
I'm also not a fan of how samey the guns feel. I miss the variety and weirdness of Battlefront 2's weapons.
>>46012223
Well the book isn't out yet, so jump to conclusions now I guess. Also demilitarization had a few reasons. The plan to train worlds to defend themselves, and the last republic lasted 1,000 years without one. They were blind to the FO but that's life.
>they are going "this is the state of the galaxy/this is what needs to happen x amount of years from now, how do we get it there?
So like what happened with the PT?
>>46012257
>I want battlefront 2
You know people still play that, right? In fact, poor anon was in here a few days ago asking if anyone would come play with him, and no one signed on.
And with the guns, they arent quite so bad compared to other modern FPS. granted, there is less variety then halo, and thats a pretty big strike, however, the whole powerups vs real vehicles is more of a personal taste thing then outright quality. Im not saying it beats out BFII, which with mods is a god tier game, but its not "God awful". Hell, since they added private matches, I have a blast with my friends at lan parties.
>>46011948
There are only SEVEN full blown novels in the NuCanon thus far. Aftermath is one of them.
That's a pretty high miss-to-hit ratio.
Especially when the one that everyone agrees is a miss, is a HUGE fucking miss. I'm gonna be honest, I'd rather reread The JAT, The Crystal Star, and the Callista Trilogy, in an unending loop, for the rest of my LIFE, never being allowed to read any GOOD Star Wars book ever again, than reread Aftermath even once.
>>46012146
>perfectly passable
Is this what it's come to? Mediocrity is now a thing that shouldn't be criticized? A D grade is "passable", too. Doesn't make it GOOD.
We all know DICE is capable of better when they bring their A Game and have the time. But EA just wanted a game pumped out as fast as possible, in order to start milking the Star Wars cash cow. So the team did what they could, gave us a very polished experience, but it's just... so shallow.
The sights and sounds are fucking AMAZING, but that's constantly being ruined by how samey it all is. There's no gameplay difference between getting in an X-Wing and getting in a TIE. What blaster I run around with on the ground is basically a cosmetic choice unless I'm using one of a couple outliers (the EE-3 and the DL-44 are the only ones that really stood out as being any different from each other). They gave us all these different heads we can use, so we can be aliens and shit when we're playing as the Rebels, but they didn't give us any customization that DOES anything.
It just seems like it's going down, checking the block for all the things a modern shooter is "supposed" to have.
>>46012363
Anon if you don't want mediocrity you shouldn't be into Star Wars
>>46012344
>I want Battlefront 2
No, I wanted something better than Battlefront 2. I wanted a game with more content, not less.
>>46012385
>star wars

>>46008229
since the last thread 404'ed before I could get enough answers
so /swg/ ive been running a long standing sandbox D20 Saga game for my brother and his idiot friend. Their both in their mid teens and have been playing as lolrandom characters who drink, smoke, and party with girls. Their exploits include:
>Blowing up hotels on Tatooine
>Kidnapping said hotel owner (female) and killing her son
> Using a Jedi Master and his padawans(their original goal was to save them and hide them with the alliance) as meat shields against kraty dragons
> Selling water to Jabba the Hutt
>Claiming to be related to Jabba the Hutt for free stuff
>Murder and Pillage on Yavin 8
>Getting Speeder bikes made from a crazy old guy on Terminus (Both looking like daredevils bike)
Now their newest plan?
> Stealing Money from the Munns on Munnilist! Batman: The Dark Knight style
Should I let them go through with this or just tell them no? On one hand I want to see them sweat. On the other it seems a good way to TPK. What should I do?
>>46012507
There comes a point when a GM needs to let his PCs answer for their crimes. Do it.
>>46012479
Half of that never mattered. Before you get on my case about the wipe, I'm talking about before, and even if it never happened. Lucas was actually going to go ahead with the ST himself, but sold to Disney instead. TCW was planning to go beyond even ROTS and probably deeper into the OT era. Farther than Rebels might go. Things stop feeling like Star Wars when the creator himself never planned on doing it that way.
>>46008693
Mandos did nothing wrong.
>>46012385
Dark Forces was one of the first (I think it might actually be THE first, but I'm not 100% on that so I'm not gonna make the claim) FPSes to include looking up and down.
Rogue Squadron 2 and 3 were so complex, coding-wise, that they have become INFAMOUS in the gamecube emulation community.
Galaxies, while kind of a buggy mess on launch, is fondly remembered because it really felt like a living world. Bounty Hunters? Made their money by hunting OTHER PLAYERS that people had put bounties on. This is an MMO that managed to compete with EVERQUEST for subscriber numbers, back in the pre-WoW days. Of course this was all before the dark times. Before the NGE.
X-Wing and its sequels are often considered the KINGS of their genre, even over Wing Commander.
Racer is often considered the only good thing to come out of TPM.
Republic Commando wasn't just a "passable" shooter, it was a DAMN GOOD shooter.
Mediocrity is unacceptable in a Star Wars vidya.
>>46011847
Considering that only three people know to begin with and they wouldn't tell anyone who'd leak it? Indefinitely
>>46012146
TIL wanting something to be anything other than a depth-less shooter with high sound quality is a meme.
>>46012139
>but muh full disclosure
Who said anything about full disclosure, I'm basing this on the assumption that the Star Wars universe has an equivalent of the internet.
Here's how it might go:
Luke tells his students how Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side becoming Darth Vader and then came back to the light to defeat Palpatine perhaps to show "how anyone can fall to the dark side and that no one is truly beyond redemption" one of Luke's students who can't keep a secret to save his life then tells his buddies outside the NJO "Luke's dad was Darth Vader! but it's a secret so don't tell anyone!" who then proceed to tell everyone they know, and it just snowballs from there...
I mean maybe Leia can deny the claim as being just some damn rumor, but it still got out there.
>>46012913
>Luke tells his students how Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side becoming Darth Vader and then came back to the light to defeat Palpatine perhaps to show "how anyone can fall to the dark side and that no one is truly beyond redemption"
That was retarded in the JAT, and it will be just as retarded if they pull it here.
>>46012913
Maybe Snoke is responsible for some of this as well?
>>46012627
Why do you keep switching arguments all the time? Atleast try to be consistent in being wrong
>>46012999
>>46012913
>>46012139
>>46011884
Could it have been ben that let the word out? when does this take place? Because Kylo would have the resources to get it wide spread.
>>46013170
Six years before TFA. Kylo already destroyed Luke's Jedi academy.
>>46013196
Well then, bang, until otherwise stated, Kylo Ren did it to weaken the resistance.
>>46013267
Or just his mom, the resistance isn't around yet.
>>46012763
>Republic Commando wasn't just a "passable" shooter, it was a DAMN GOOD shooter.
What I can't for the life of me figure out is why no other game to thsi day has utilized the squad mechanic from RC. only other game i have found that uses something similar is the abortion of a game that is Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30. And that came out BEFORE Republic Commando hit the scene
>>46013323
Because they'd rather saddle you with ass retarded teammates who never actually make any significant contributions and (if they're plot relevant) have a sort of magical immortality that lets them survive taking an RPG to the face, than give you a squad who are actually good at stuff.
>>46013323
>abortion of a game that is Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
Are you trolling? That game was great, and legit one of the best WW2 shooters to come out of the glut. Earned in Blood was even better.Hells Highway was shit though
>>46013287
>Or just his mom
seriously, what the hell went wrong with that boy?
>>46013442
I miss WWII shooters.
Back when they were all that ever came out, I never thought I'd say that.
But it's been YEARS since we had a good one, so I'm saying it now.
>>46013442
>BiA:RtH30
>good game
We'll just have to agree to disagree on that, since i don't want to derail this into /v/-mania 2k16
>>46013466
Perhaps he was diddled by a "Church of Force" member?
>>46013499
Does Wolfenstein: The New Order count?
>>46011708
You honestly think it was hard for people to figure out? Anakin Skywalker, known force wielder and arguably the most famous face in the galaxy besides Palpatine and perhaps a few of the other most high-ranking Clone Wars politicians, disappears right before the whole 'Jedi trying to take over the galaxy' thing and suddenly a new ultra-powerful force user appears as Palpatine's new right hand?
A shit ton of people in the Imperial military and beauracracy probably knew - various former Republic/Imperial senators too - even if it was never spoken out loud. With trillions of people all linked on a galactic super-internet pretty much nothing is going to stay a secret for long; especially once the iron curtain of Imperial censorship fell. Hell, as far back as WEG's d6 game it's been suggested that holonet journalists were putting two and two together even during the height of Palpatine's reign.
>>46012146
I'm liking Battlefront as much as I didn't want to- but, while, I admit the gameplay is largely solid (except for vehicles, how do you fuck that one up Dice?) I can't play it anymore until they fix the fucking sound glitch. That shit is just inexcusable.
The game would run circles around the previous games - as much fun as I had with them back in the day - if only EA gave a shit about anything but sadly...
>>46013466
There was just too much of his (grand)father in him.
>>46013466
He loves his grandpa Vader
>>46013563
but... even Vader hated Vader...
>>46013466
That boy ain't right, I'll tell you what.
>>46013543
Not... really?
I mean just a conventional WWII shooter, no crazy weird war shit.
>>46013499
It's not kosher to pick on the poor defenceless germans anymore. Besides, we've kinda gotten our revenge in good and proper nowadays.
>>46013512
Fair enough, but let it be known I think your opinion is a minority opinion, however I don't believe your intention is to shitpost.
Brothers in Arms focused more on tactical combat, not one man army bullshit like the CoD franchise. Every engagement in that game could be nerve-wracking, and they successfully imparted how terrifying machine guns could be. Well set up ambush points by the enemy turned into meat-grinders, and enemies would change cover positions in response to your actions. SMG's felt satisfying (well, the Thompson did, the MP40 not so much) and so did rifles. Weapons felt like they had heft. The story had a degree of maturity that I enjoyed, and each squad character felt distinct.
Your not obligated to respond, but I'm not going to let everyone in this thread judge a great game based off YOUR opinion. You don't have to fight with me, but I want folks to see the other side.
Anyway, we can return to our regularly scheduled program
>>46013466
something in the blood
>>46008229
Anyone have the Space Lestrade trilogy? I keep meaning to save them but then they get posted and I don't.
I promise I'll save them this time so I don't have to ask again.
>>46013538
"alright Ben, now show me on the doll where Snoke touched you"
how was that battlefront novel? I'm reading tarkin and its alright. Kind of tired of them going back and forth, telling us two stories. I get why but I kind of just want to stay in the present.
Lords of the Sith was fun for the most part. Not perfect but I seriously enjoyed that awful relationship vader and sidious have.
FUCK Aftermath...
>>46013715
I can agree with you that machineguns were trucking terrifying and you really needed to use good tactics.
I guess it might just be i had too high expectations of it, since i've heard so much good about it and then it kinda felt, i dunno, old i guess. Like it hadn't aged well at all. I should perhaps add that i played it for the first time a week-ish ago when i picked it up for a dollar at a local thrift shop. So i could very well be i'm judging it too harshly.
Decimator and trial TIE Fighter are completed. I feel comfortable enough now to start on the rest. Still have a problem with the baboon ass, though.
>>46008229
So, I was at a Store Championship recently and saw a guy doing semi-well with a Firespray/YV-666 list. I'm normally Imperial through and through, so can any Scum players give me a heads up on this list? With the new stuff coming I thought a large ship list would be something different at the very least.
Firespray-31 (46)
Kath Scarlet - 38
Veteran Instincts - 1
Boba Fett - 1
Glitterstim - 2
Engine Upgrade - 4
YV-666 (56)
Bossk - 35
Veteran Instincts - 1

The general idea is to have complete area control while shutting down defence through weight of dice and bullshit modifiers, and if I knock off something vital with Boba, that's a nice bonus. Only problem I can see is that Bossk could end up overloading on stress, but if it gets something killed it seems like a risk worth taking.
>>46014440
Sorry, Bossk is 54, not 56.

Its honestly a little boring at times, and really gritty. MC is a fucking terrible person, but you understand why. Great side characters, Especially Roach and Gadran. All in all, fine, but skippable, unless you like gritty war stuff. Also will leave loose ends. If that bothers you, do not read.
>>46014320

I like the concept a lot but you've gotta clean that up quite a bit.
>>46015166

So what are some cool ways to build A-wings in a Rebels list? Green Squadron pilots with PTL seem cool but are there better ways to play these dudes?
>>46018337

Proton Rockets are good times.

Some of the new EPTs have potential. Rage seems fun.
>>46018337

>>46012146
>it doesnt fuck with canon
I still find TIE fighters with ion torpedoes annoying, particularly since Rebels support material shows that nucanon TIE's still only carry a pair of laser cannons. Was it that hard to give them something other than ordnance?
Though I wish shielded AT-AT's would become fully accepted canon.

>>46020003
They do, as indicated by the fact Finn and Poe were able to use them without the proper gear.
>>46020021
Both the fo and sf? They were in the sf but we see tie pilots in fo ones wearing tubes.
>>46019836
>TIE Fighter's lack deflector shields, life support, ejection systems, and hyperdrives. TIE pilots regard these as tools of cowards
I hope whichever moral officer is responsible for maintaining that insane attitude is well compensated.
On that note are there any characters or stories about a TIE-fighter pilot that have a Yossarian (Catch-22) attitude about being drafted into service? A 'he only wants to get out of his twin ion death trap,' and sees everyone around him in the empire as insane for serving kind of thing?
>>46020021
>They do, as indicated by the fact Finn and Poe were able to use them without the proper gear.
well, they also weren't in it for very long. If Rebels is anything to go on, then the lack of a life support does not necessarily mean that the interior is a hard-vacuum, just that whatever breathable air you would have is whatever atmosphere got trapped inside when the hatch closed. That means, in theory, an unsuited pilot could operate a Tie, but not for very long before the air gets stale and ultimately toxic (since, no filters or scrubbers inside).
>>46019836
Considering how Rebels loves to shit on anything Imperial, I'm surprised they didn't choose the "crappy but cheap space coffins" for their nucanon version.

What matches the DC-15 series?
>>46020486
I think it's just one of those ideas that was around for so long that removing it was not possible.
>>46020486
That's the point of having the huge panels then?
>>46020486
TIE-yoooooooh!
>>46020590
I always though the DC-15 was the FAL or M14 to the M16/M4 of the E-11
>>46020590
The E-11 is more like the newer bullpups like the Steyr and SA-80 series IMO, rather than an AK
>>46019971
Yes, but now it's been a good long time since we've had one, so doing that again would actually be refreshing and kinda new.
Or just do North Africa instead of Europe or the Pacific.
>>46020642
If I remember correctly a section of the EU preferred to refer to them as radiators.
>>46020590
The 15A is probably a fuckhuge battle rifle or a World War II semi-automatic rifle.
The 15S would probably be an SMG analogue.
The DC-17m (Wookieepedia counts it as part of the DC-15 series) is so modular and versatile that it doesn't really have a close modern equivalent. Maybe a combination of XM8, XCR, SCAR, and HK-416.
>>46020590

Haha, yeah sure pal
>>46020273
that's entirely dependant on the occupant's emotional state, if they are calm, then they are taking slow, shallow breaths and maximizing oxygen use, if they are stressed (like, say, being in a dogfight) their breathing is far less controlled and they are liable to run out a lot faster.
In either case I doubt that there is going to be enough air to last the entire duration of a sortie.
>>46020676
>>46020692
M14 might make sense. What are its defining qualities?
And I say the E-11 is the Kalashnikov because its defining features are that its cheap and easy to maintain.
>>46020716
So, the 15 would be a Garand then?
>>46020732
Well, it's cheap and easy to use at the very least.
>>46020590
DLT-20 looks a lot like the A280/95 to me, which strikes me more as a MSG-90/M-21 style deal than the meme nagant
>>46020590
The DC-15 is noted for being powerful and accurate. It's something like a rapid-fire sniper rifle really.
>>46021201
It's a space FAL, basically
>>46021213
FAL or M14. Probably leaning towards FAL, except not very widespread.
It's noted that the DC-15 is not available for public sale. How come no one noticed the order for the GAR then?
>>46021376
Being unavailable for "public sale" means that they couldn't camouflage the shipments as going to "big bossak's sporting goods", but a bunch of rifles going to the planetary defense force of " fuck you, that's private " isn't gonna raise any eyebrows in that era
Since it IS rare, maybe more like the StGw-57?
>>46021376
probably hidden inside other acquisitions and projects that nobody would bother looking into.

I'd argue it's a Stoner 63. Contemporary with the battle rifles, less powerful round in favor of letting troops carry more rounds, absurdly modular, mostly used by a special ops unit who loved it to death, but never adopted by the rest of the military because of various concerns, maintains a following among blaster nerds to this day.

>>46027358
I don't think that's the strongest variant.
You'll have a rough time lining up an alpha strike with three large bases against one small base, and higher PS arc-dodgers will be a real problem.
I can see double jumpmaster with a 34-ish point ace of some sort being better.
>>46027454
the problem is what can the scum do with 36 points or less?

>>46027662
Some words of advice, you could just cover the parts that your not painting, or just cover the parts nearby where your painting with tape. It should come out cleaner and the lines won't look so shaky when finished.
>>46027662
The list seems okay.
I don't think it has a great chance against the top-meta lists - brobots, palp shuttle + aces - for the reason that you're throwing a lot of points at Oicunn ramming shenanigans which might not work super well against those lists.
TLT spam could be problematic since you don't have a huge amount of DPS and are theoretically throwing a lot of action economy into ramming. Call it a 50/50 matchup.
Flown well with solid dice I would say it could reach the top 30-50% of a 32 player tournament.
>>46027592
sadly the dauntless upgrade is nowhere near as good as it used to be because they changed how the steps in activation go and you can do a move that leaves you with no stress but still have a free action.
I give you props for running the coolest decimator pilot though
I wish people talked more about Eote/AoR/FaD, anyone have some greentext stories for a bored anon waiting for his next session?

I've pitched the idea before anon. Smuggler crash lands on Dathomir, or imperial/rebel arrives there the day before the Imperial blockade begins. Survive in the jungle, fight the wildlife, Nightsisters, ally with and against local imperials, rebels, and try to find a way off planet.
>>46027919
That's exactly what I did though. Took an exact knife to split up strips of tape and overlaid them. It just looks a little janky from spillovers.
>>46027950
I agree that it's not the most COMPETETIVE option, but it's something I've been wanting to try since I first got the decimator.
>>46027964
Could you explain this interaction a little better?
It was my understanding that it goes like this:
Unstressed oicunn makes a green bank into a ship, rams it, they take damage
Dauntless kicks in, electing my action to be daredevil. I perform my white maneuver, ramming again, another point of damage. Stress from completing dardevil, stress from completing an action through dauntless.
Check pilot stress removes a stress because of green maneuver.

Are they not? what the hell was going on in alien then?
>>46035478
They're sentient, like animals. But they aren't self aware. The Queen might be Sapient.

But it got onto the excursion shuttle when the rig was set to self destruct. That seems really smart for something that is not self aware. I mean, I know this isnt definite proof of sapience, but ive never thought them to be mindless.
>>46035523
Exactly, it's Sentient, like an animal, not Sapient.

Äventyrsspel translated "Alien Force-Student" into was "Xenomorf Mystiker". Pic very much related. It's from a old thread where it was first mentioned.
>>46035453
Kulvapen had been the correct translation.
Landspeeder got translated into Landfräsare and Speederbike got translated into Fräsarcykel. none of these are corect translations.
But then again we swedes have a tradition of fucking up Star Wars with silly translations. In the first edition of the A New Hope novelization Chewbacca's name got translated to Tuggbuss (to chew = tugga in swedish) or "Tuggis" instead of Chewie and in the swedish translation of the Thrawn Trilogy Wedge's name got translated into Kilen (the swedish translation for wedge as in the geometrical shape).
And my friends think me silly for not reading translated novels anymore...

>Landfräsare
My god. This reminds me of the time they translated Shelob into "honmonstret"
Might just start saying landfräsare though.

Oh, the Tolkien books are a fresh and new hell when it comes to bad translations. It even trumps the horribad Star Wars translations
Dude, its the german translations that I think are the best.
TIE-X1-Turbo Jäger for the tie advanced and TIE-Abfangjäger for the squint are still fucking killer. I mean, they are accurate, just they sound fucking awesome.

Those names sounds like they should be painted Feldgrau and come with PAK-40s instead of lasers

from the FaQ
>If it executes a green maneuver, overlaps another ship, and uses Dauntless to perform a free action, the stress it receives is not removed by the green maneuver
Previously, it did remove the token
>>46036062
>TIE-X1-Turbo Jäger
>TIE-Abfangjäger
Those names make me uncomfortably aroused. Speaking of which, does anyone still have that image of the TIE Hetzer?
>>46036167
Yep here you go, one TIE hetzer

why is everything a star hunter, german friends?
>>46036167
Yeah. Through a complete luckout, i got a bunch of german Die cast models of star wars ships and their crazy german names. I eventually gave the models out to all my friends, keeping the droid trifighter and squint for myself, but I kept all the manuals so that i can go back and look at the insane names from time to time.
