Luke wasn't going to Tosche Station for speeder parts

Man if Mos Eisley was a wretched hive of scum and villainy, I don't even want to imagine what the nightlife of a podunk like Tosche would be like

Moonshine, stolen gas station beer, and that cousin of yours who ain't very good looking and has weird ideas from shit she's read, but who's still wet and willing.

>cousin
Shit like this? Shit like this is why we need The Empire

You think that's bad? Fuckin' Rebels, man.

user's very sensitive

Standard crap that happens with any given nerd presence on twitter.
Why shut down for the day when you can have a whiny PA meltdown because too many people asked what color Greedo's arms were that day.

Beats danny devito on the left there

Odd combo.

But save the Hand of Thrawn duology for the absolute last. It's best read as a farewell to the Bantam era of Star Wars books.

What are the best ships to get in X-Wing that are good with the stuff thats comes with them?

As in, I don,t need to buy a bunch of other ships I will never use but have to because I need the upgrades that come with it to make what I actually want to play viable

He's back. Starkiller II and Ewoks confirmed for Ep 9.

FUCK

>Ewoks
Don't get my hopes up like this, user.

So I'm sticking to non ST stuff now, gotcha.

TIE/fo

...

TIE/fo, TIE Aggressor, Imperial Veterans.

I only play Imperials though, so I'm not super sure.

I could probably mail you a handful of cards though if you really need stuff. Did you just get started? What do you have?

God fucking, fucking, dammit. Arqnwikj;lwjfaionvgailok;n;ejan. *rage* God the sequels are going to end up being worse than the prequels, and that's a goddamn accomplishment/miracle/travesty/how-in-the-actual-fuck-did-you-do-that?

I hate Abrams. I hate him because he is just so goddamn mediocre. He has no sense of the worlds that he's doing movies in, and has no goddamn sense of scale for anything. Rogue One didn't have that problem, which shows it's him and not just modern film making. One of my friends' friends who had never seen Star Wars before asked if it all took place in one solar system after seeing VII. He honestly has no fucking clue what a space-faring civilization would be capable of, and so he never should have gotten into sci-fi. Seriously, two federation starships blasting each other to bits around the moon draws no response from Earth Spacedock? What in the actual fuck?

And that's the hell of it. It isn't going to be straight bad. It's just going to be so utterly bland and mediocre and have no bearing with previous continuity.

I need a fucking drink and it's 9 in the morning.

TIE Aggressor, K-wing, HotR, Punishing One, Protectorate, Shadowcaster, Quadjumper, TIE Striker, TIE Phantom if you can source a copy of VI from somewhere.

NO

From the previous thread.

The holochess is literally just a REMEMBER THESE! thing. They'd rather cash in on the nostalgia than create something unique (or are forced to cash in on the nostalgia).

What's a good wingman for Fat Han in the current wave?

Do you run Expertise and Gunner (62) or Predator and Luke (63)?

I'm just re-buying my collection now and thinking of showing up with a Fat Han.

time to kms myself

Now we know why Galen has a zipline.

To try and escape these feels.

Aw fuck

He doesn't really want it dead, he just has a good laugh about it now and again.

I remember bringing up the new use of "Jatz" in later legends and NuCanon material and asking if it was a "Replacement for the old music name that shall go unmentioned" or something. I got an in depth history from him and Trautman about how it's all KJA's fault.

...

I wonder how did that happen in the fist place, was jizz not a wrod back in seventies?

It was, heck it only got invented in the 90s by KJA, and Trautmann tried to warn them from putting it in anything else, but by then it was too late.

oh, wow

Personal recommendations:

Crimson Empires II and III

Avoid TFU 2 but watch somebody walk through the Cato nemoidia casino and then watch the space battle cutscene.

TFU 2 is fine, it's not as good as its predecessor by any stretch of the imagination but if he has 4 hours to kill why not play through the campaign

>it's not as good as its predecessor
Its predecessor set a pretty low bar. Its predecessor set the bar so low it makes TFA look like a vibrant and original addition to the franchise.

Do you even like Star Wars?

Not him, but he's pretty much right. The first one didn't set a high bar, and the second failed to even come close to matching the first. The fact that they litreally said they were going for "quality over quantity" yet still failed to match up to the experience of the first speaks volumes to the "quality" of the second.

I'm not disagreeing that TFU2 was a shallow experience but to say that TFU was TFA levels of bad is exaggerating

I (and many others) disagree. The narrative was pretty painfully dull, and the gameplay was literally God of War for 5 year olds.

I had really good success at a local tournament with Predator/Luke Fat Han and Norra Wexley with PTL/BB-8/Tail Gunner/Alliance Overhaul

I would suggest changing BB8 to R2-D2 and either leaving Crew Empty or downgrade Luke to Gunner

TFA looked pretty cool when it had the X-wings flying over the lake. TFU was nothing but QTE prompts and AotCYoda tier flips and twirls.
In TFA motherfuckers who got hit by lightsabers died. In TFU motherfuckers who got hit by your nerf bat farted little green balls out.
Everything else about TFA was unremarkable and bland. TFU was straight up bad bad. Coruscant police with lightsaber pikes? Imperial guards just sitting around on Kashyyk for no reason, just stroking their lightsaber pikes? Leia being a strong independent pilot woman who don't need no man? That convoluted bollocks about the Rebellion being a ploy by Palps to draw out his enemies and he still fucks it up? Telekinetic vader jesus boss battles? Imagine you were in the meeting when these ideas were suggested.

It's a tad silly in R1 how Leia leaves Scarif and still plays innocent when Vader catches her in ANH. It's absolutely fucking ridiculous for her to have been present for the formation of the rebellion, captured, rescued by a freakin' jedi and THEN have her play innocent in ANH.

Liking Star Wars is something we all do. Liking a bad GoW clone that not only has to contend with being a bad GoW clone, it has to contend with being a bad jedi game when Jedi Outcast/Academy exist, is something only a select few would even consider.

To be fair, Leia has been able to pilot starships since Splinter of the Mind's Eye. She at least knows how to handle a Y-wing.

Jedi Outcast/Academy have awful lightsaber combat mechanics. At least with TFU you feel like you are actually in control and not just flailing about wildly while your engine that was designed for FPS contorts itself to try and accommodate you

>55353988
>Palps to draw out his enemies and he still fucks it up?
Kind of like how he did and Endor. Your points are all valid though. It is an assine idea.

>It's a tad silly in R1 how Leia leaves Scarif and still plays innocent when Vader catches her in ANH
It actually isnt at all. What she is doing is high treason and could result in the execution of her and everyone on her ship just to begin with if caught. Not to mention she does have the DS plans and she needs to do whatever it takes to make sure they arnt taken back. So she bluffs, its unlikely to work but what else is she going to do? Admit to Vader she is a member of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor?

It is unlikely to work, but of course she is going to try it, it would be stupid not to. After all, its not like the Empire had proof she was at Scarif.

"oh but Vader saw her at Scaif." No he didnt. He saw a CR-90 Corvette, but that doesnt mean it was the same CR-90.

The Rebels are trying to bluff that the Empire failed to ID their ship at Scarif. If the Empire failed to ID them at Scarif there is a possibility, though unlikely, they can successfuly argue case of mistaken identity. Notice Vader doesnt say "I have proof of you being at Scarif." It is because they failed to get the ID, but Vader doesnt give a shit because he has the Force and knowns this is the ship, so he doesnt bother with the bluffs.

I have no idea how I fucked that up.
>Jedi Outcast/Academy have awful lightsaber combat mechanics.
Those games had excellent lightsaber controls. Just because you couldnt figure out how to get the lightsaber to attack from the angle you wanted it doesnt mean other people couldnt do it.

I wish TFU had half the control of lightsabers you had in Jedi Outcast and I liked TFU (1)

That would be pretty fuckin awesome of you, user.

>Notice Vader doesnt say "I have proof of you being at Scarif."

Because the movie happened 40 years later?

Ya thats the reason out of universe. Thats not the reason in universe.

he is very sure she has them though. I mean, if i was leia id definitely try to play up the innocent thing too, its really her only defense

Exactly. Leia has to play up the innocent thing. Just because she is playing it up doenst mean Vader will believe them.

He may not have hard proof tying her to Scarif but he has the Force to guide him on top of other things like the Tantive IV being at the end of the hyperspace jump the Devestator made but he is confident it is her ship and its not like he needs proof.

Oh well, at least Lucasfilm is back up to production levels, so Bad Robot won't shit the bed on half the designs in the movie.

you forgot Empire at War with either of the following mods:
Thrawns Revenge
Awakening of the Rebellion

Remember that little robot bird?

I try not to.

I still can't believe they just remade the shitty RotJ Mon Calamari masks when Lucasfilm had made an amazing animatronic for RotS.

To add on to what the other anons have said, also read the Darth Bane trilogy.

>finally a non alpha release of Remake
>filled with a dozen different ships each doing the same job for each faction

I know that Star Wars is a rich and fleshed out setting but do they really need 4 different anti fighter corvettes and 7 different smaller star destroyers that all do the same thing? I'm looking forward to ICW's purge of redundant ships in later versions, though it's nowhere near as bad as other mods for it.

Remake?

ICW's later versions?

I'm a bit lost. Did ICW split of from Thrawn's Revenge?

Also I only seem to recall the Empire of the Hand and New Republic having Corvette Bloat.

I did think that the Enforcer-Vindicator choice was always a hard one to weigh, the Enforcer was supposed to be a Vindicator that they figured out how to do better by sheer accident when removing the Gravwells from Interdictors, but they give up all their fighters for what, a handful of extra laser cannons?

A-Wing with linked HLCs. Yes or no?

Seems like a solid anti-freighter/gunship fighter

ICW is Thrawn's Revenge in this context. The Creator uses Thrawn's Revenge as a loose term for all his SW mods so ICW is Thrawn's Revenge, Ascendency for Sins of a Solar Empire is TR2 and Fall of the Republic, which they've just started working on for EAW, is going to be TR3. Pentastar are losing the Lancer in favour of the Raider I think but all imperials still get the carrack, strike and MTC and all of them still basically do the same shit but some are uglier than others.

Remake is a mod that aimed to just take the normal game and make it better. Better models, graphics, probably the best missiles of any version of the game, and a few new units. A few new units went a bit too far. The empire get pretty much every star destroyer type and Zann has clone wars era fighters, the lucrehulk, venator and valiant class star destoyers and then the Kandosi. While the Kandosi is fucking badass the rest is just kinda redundant.

>A-Wing with linked HLCs.
>HLCs
>LaughingSienar.holo

I feel like the best Lightsaber dueling videogame is still the vs mode in SW:Episode 3.

That game made Greivious an awesome bastard to deal with first.

That was a pretty good game I agree. Been a long time sense I played it though

In my version of Thrawn's Revenge the Remnant only gets the Lancer, and the Pentastar only get hyperdrive IPVs. (This makes it almost impossible for the AI to capture the Alderaan graveyard because Lancers are too big to chase fighters through the asteroid wall so you can basically just park all your fighters and corvettes there to harass the enemy fleet as they try to circle around the asteroids, then the Golans to get to the station.

Unless they drop an Executor class you can usually run away with your own capital ships fast enough to hide them past the asteroids near the golans.

That always did look like a pretty decent game. I don't have the systems for it and haven't found an emulator.

yes, lucasfilm is so much better

Other than going all out with the hand-feet I don't mind the At-Ape-T

2.2's due out soon. He's playing through the Shadow Hand GC on his youtube (CoreyLoses) and they've done some awesome work with campaign scripts. Taking out Skywalker as the remnant actually gives you Skywalker as Palpatine's apprentice in that GC. Once they release that version I'll be reinstalling it and probably never bothering with any mods ever again (until Fall of the Republic).

I see your HLC A-Wing and i raise you a Y-Droid Fighter. Essentially a scavenged Astromech with combat software hard-wired into a Y-Wing frame married to TIE Droid panels

crazyenoughtogetusallkilled/10

that is some damn good photoshop work

It's not a photoshop job. That's a Cut N Paste job i made in MSPaint from this...

and this

Just finished reading Black Fleet Crisis.

Alternatively, only read the Lando, Fifth Fleet, Yevethan, and Admiral Drayson scenes. Read the rest on Wookieepedia.

Its a boring fucking slog of one conversation scene after another. The bad outweighs the good by a large margin

Rule of thumb is you can't go wrong with Zahn, Stackpole and Allston
Han Solo Adventures
Lando Calrissian Adventures
Han Solo Trilogy
Truce at Bakura
Courtship of Princess Leia
X-Wing (books, comics, vidya, just soak it all in)
Tales of the Jedi comics
Darksaber

>Avoid
The Crystal Star. Its got some fun stuff, but its boring as fuck for most of it.

is there an album of these schematics anywhere?

Various WEG d6 sourcebooks had black & white diagrams as well, but nothing collected together.

the hungry ewok has what you need

I found them by googling [Ship name] schematic

...

FUCK

>Courtship of Princess Leia
Did anyone actually enjoy this? Han is written as a massive beta and Leia dumps him for some horrendous Marty-Stu

I think a lot of people liked it. I personally HATED the book. Han just saying fuck it and kidnapping Leia was really fucked up, which had the added result of Leia hating Han for the whole book taking away any enjoyment I could get from the book.

That book is a bundle of crazy space fun, comedy, romance and rancors beating the shit out things.

The book's initial intro with the fucking mindrape gun was terrible, but the rest of it was pretty damn fun.

The only bad thing about the Wraith Squadron books is that they lead into that turd.

CoPL is pretty much a cheesy romance novel set in a Space Opera setting.

>desperate spurned lover kidnaps his love interest away from rival who seems better in all ways
>rival rides out to the rescue
>desperate lover and love interest goes through adventure
>rival catches up to desperate lover and love interest
>they all have to adventure together to survive
>desperate lover goes all chivalric and decides love interest and rival are meant for each other
>desperate lover does something stupid and/or extremely dangerous
>love interest realizes too late that she really loves the desperate lover and not the rival
>love interest rides to the rescue
>que happy ending

This formula is a bog standard action/romance trope that hollywood milked a lot in the 40's and 50's

Should be a single ventral centerline mount to leave room on either side of the cockpit for side-firing proton torpedoes...
