/swg/ Best girl edition

To prove that they are not-Jedi.

Jedi would walk around in robes that cover every part of their body, even in the desert heat of Tatooine, so the One Sith will walk around in loincloths and pasties, just to be contrarian.

The guy in that scene is just getting up from sleep, so give him a break. And not all Sith walked around half-naked. See Maladi, Nihl, Wyyrlock, Krayt himself.

Talon is the only female Twi'lek I've seen that looks great without their lekku warmers

Sup /swg/, I'm looking for help in how specifically to beat Fenn Rau+Ghost lists.

I'm flying Blackout (PTL, Asensors, Optics, Autos, FoV) and 2 Delta defenders with TIE/x7.

I keep getting into scenarios with 1 ship vs an about-to-die ghost, and those are too close for my liking.

I'm now thinking that the correct obstacles to choose are the big asteroids (I was using big debris)

But I'm not sure where I should be trying to place them, or how I should deploy/approach.

I know I need to kill Fenn first, and do that via getting behind the ghost so it can't boost into my face and so that Fenn gets left behind since he is so much slower than the ghost.

I just don't know how to kill him without taking too much damage.

Any suggestions? Is bunkering down in the corner the answer?

That's because they don't just end abruptly at her skull, they kind of slope down towards her brow, which makes them look a lot more organic.

Also sith tatts.

What would an average citizen of the Empire know about the Emperor? What would a low-ranking imperial officer think about him?

Really all you should need is to kill Fenn first.

At the Regional I went to yesterday I think Gunboats or SFs with a shuttle did okay against them. Double Harpoon Gunboats with an ace might be able to alpha Fenn off the board and then hammer the sides with ordnance or ace.

If you can make it double PTL/ASLAM/Harpoon/Procket Gunboats you can probably take that Ghost down without sweat

Would they know what he looks like?

So, what are you guys' predictions for the end of Rebels?

Vader takes notice of the crew
Kanan sacrifices himself to buy the rest of the team time to get away
Kanan's death is the star that makes Ezra join Saw's rebels
Last episode ends with Hera, Chopper, Sabine and Rex looking out over the Yavin landing pad and seeing the Rogue One cargo shuttle land
Rex is the only surviving crewmember after Rogue One

Something like this?

Original version had HLC instead of Mangled/Prockets

He's portrayed like this in a propaganda poster on EAFront 2, not sure if Legends would be different on this, considering there Sheev sought out public approval even more and wasn't mustache-twirling, so he probably publicly looks like this there too, with his fucked up face mostly known to upper-level officers.

Are there any other species that have very high/100% force sensitivity rates besides Miraluka and Gand?

Unironically
Kanan dies to Rukh or to allow everyone else to escape the orbital bombardment
Hera and the rest get separated from Ezra escaping on the Ghost as Lothal is BASEDELTAZEROED
Ezra revisits Lothal cave with aid of Loth Wolves; discovers the connection to the Ones from Mortis
Ezra faces an apparation of Sheev; spiritually overcomes it
Daughter/Ahsoka reveals themself to Ezra and bring Ezra to the safety of Mortis
No one hears from him again. Rest of the crew stay with the Rebellion

Thanks

Also he looks more fucked up in Revenge than he does in Jedi, so I think his face might be slowly healing overtime, same way a scar does.

Aren't the Voss?

Also the Rakata were, to some degree

The man went on a public holonet broadcast to declare the Empire in the Senate

The whole galaxy knows what he looks like. He even acknowledges his scars (but his resolve has never been stronger)

(checked)
I was thinking that was a long time ago though. The actual appearance may have been forgotten by most.

I'm pretty sure the Declaration of the New Order (and holofeeds of it) would be something taught to any Imperial citizen in basic education. Sort of like the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution's Preamble in the USA

That's certainly possible, but what if they glossed over the part about his appearance? How does that explain (or did nu-wars just fuck this up?)

Checked right back at you

NuCanon probably fucked it up. It wouldn't be the first time

Would "Dubs Checkum" make a good name for a Star Wars character?

Dubs, trips, then dubs again. Nice.

In Wedge's gambit they state that the Galactic Museum on Coruscant showed him looking younger and more healthy. That's Bantam era though so fitting it into EU and even Legends always requires a bit of handwaving like "Yeah, he got better".

Well that does make sense. Making the object of your pr campaign not look like a deformed mutant would be pr 101. They probably made up a story about him having surgery and how his triumph over the scars symbolizes the renewing energy of the empire or some shit like that.

WE WILL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES WE WILL FIGHT ON THE LANDING GROUNDS WE WILL FIGHT IN THE AIR AND IN THE STREETS WE WILL FIGHT IN THE HILLS WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER

I would imagine his appearance as during the Declaration of a New Order would be the primary picture on his Holopedia page.

I just want Ezra to die.

I like pretty much the entire cast except him.

Supposedly humans, considering how many of them are in the Jedi and Sith orders throughout history. But I think that has more to do with humans being so populous throughout the galaxy than just being more attuned to the Force.

If Trump declared the US a dictatorship (and he looked like a fucking scrotum all of a sudden) you'd remember it

*dies*

A reminder that a book series was proposed that would have the humans of the GFFA be descendants of 25th century humans from Earth whose ship fell into a "space whirlpool" and wound up near what would become Corellia billions of years before.

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Alien_Exodus

That image is probably used to represent his sacrifices for the empire or something

Based Legends realising when something is too retarded. Guarantee you we'll see some shit like this for Nu-Wars for their eventual Marvel-SW Crossover.

Happens offscreen and still felt better/more respectful than Ackbar.

>all these digits

Help me stat the Venator-class for Armada anons. I do propose that this ship have Squadron 5, because of it's absurd fighter complement.
>420 fighters: 192 V-wing or V-19 Torrent starfighters, 192 Eta-2 Actis-class interceptors, and at least 36 ARC-170 starfighters. The ship also typically maintained a variety of shuttles in its hangars.
What I'm not sure of is how many dice should a Venator have compared to a Victory I? Was the Victory I stronger in the firepower category than a Venator in lore?

Sheev "DubTripDub" Palpatine

Is Chopper the droid Diogenes?

Yeah Venator primarily relied on its starfighter carrying capabilities.

Meh, sounds risky. What if we just keep running until we can find a place to hide and call for help?

You all should listen to me, I was in the Apprentice Legislature once.

I'd give it 3 blue aa die as it had a lot of point defense batteries, but otherwise victory I dice is good. Maybe move some dice from the front to the side arcs because the battle of coruscant shows the broadsiding more often than not.

>killing jedi is a horrible horrible thing
They're combatants in a war my dude. It's not even brainwashing as much as it is they were told the Jedi were traitors and they believed it. Even if some of them liked the Jedi personally, for all they knew every one of them was trying to overthrow Palpatine nad the government they were loyal to, which to be fair, they kinda were.

I know Yoda definitely doesn't hesitate to decapitate half a dozen of them when they become combatants to him.

Remember that his appearance was from his face getting scarred by lightning which may or may not have been something he intended. Nobody in the Empire sees him as looking genuinely creepy, they see him as looking scarred by an assassination attempt.

my question is moreso how to get into a position where I can kill Fenn.

I fear your style of list will get tornn apart by coordinate+boost combos, or the 4 TLT shots per turn.

Should I be trying to place rocks in the center, or in my own corners? their corners?

It's the whole "getting behind the ghost" bit that's proving to be hard.

I flew HLC+Crack rhos and QD before somewhat extensively, and the Sensor Jammer+Hotcop+Fenn combo makes it impractical to shoot the ghost first.

...

I don't think it was intended, but he's not the guy to pass an opportunity when it arises. Like I said, it looks like it's been healing like scar tissue does by ROTJ. I don't buy the Dark Side corruption meme. Dooku looks perfectly fine, same with Maul (for his species), Vader looked fine until he was burned to a crisp.

Would pic related make for a good corvette/frigate?

None of those three have been using the darkside as long or as heavily as Sheev.

Got a TOR opinion question.
Which Imperial Agent specialization would make more sense for a THICC Chiss girl? Sniper or Stealth-based?

To be fair, the art we have of Plagueis, Sheev's old master, indicates that he wasn't hideous either, and he used the Dark Side for decades on decades and was into some freaky shit. Dark Side corruption doesn't seem to be a guarantee.

I don't think the Dark Side makes you prettier, but I also don't think this is a Tolkien-style thing where it makes you hideous. Combination of being an old man + lightning scars = Palpatine looking the way he does. He could be a Light side user and still look that way.

Sorry, quoted the wrong post.

Yeah aside from having yellow eyes, Plagueis looked fine for his species. Should also be noted he achieved biological immortality. Which is different from literally bringing people back to the death, but I guess Sheev needed some sort of pitch to give to Anakin.

Have your campaigns ever referenced other non-Star Wars Lucasfilm/Lucasarts properties?

Why did Imperial II ISDs lack point defense lasers when their main opponent relied heavily on snubfighters?

Because they carried six dozen fighters of their own.

Because turbolasers are far more effective at icing fighters than Stackpole believed.

Not really. Not even in the films. At Yavin, all of the Rebel deaths we see on screen are due to TIEs with the exception of Porkins, who was killed by debris. Turbolasers have always been shit at AA. Hell, more starfighters died to turbos in the Stackpole books than in the OT.

Maladi a cute!

The introduction of dedicated anti-fighter escort ships, such as Nebulon-Bs and Lancers, that freed up Star Destroyers to focus on hostile capital ships.

Did this mark a transition from independent ISD patrols to sweeps conducted by dedicated task forces?

Sniper, or alternatively uninstall TOR

>Nebulon-B
>dedicated anti-fighter
>escort
>LaughingTIEBombers.holo
>LaughingKeyanFarlander.holo
>LaughingWedge.holo
No matter which side it's on, the fate of the Neb-B is to be escorted then die horribly to anything more heavily armed than a Pinook.

So in terms of quality, how far apart is Clone Wars and OT stuff? Is the difference between an ISD and a Venator like the difference from a warship from 1750 vs 1800, or more like 1905 vs 1945?

Why does Dash Rendar look like Steven Tyler in this picture?

Because he injects pure uncut black tar spice directly into his eyeballs.
Alternatively, because Han is Harrison Ford and they had no real world reference for Dash? It's a thing I see a lot in this kind of art. One character looks traced from a reference photo and the one without a rl analogue looks super funky.

Nebulons routinely punch well above their weight class. It took 8 seconds of continuous full bombardment from all weapons for Darth Vader's devastator to crack one that shielded the Profundity at Scarif.

>spoiler
Aw, come on. Don't be like that. It's my only SW outlet right now aside from writing shitty fanfiction.

In terms of starfighters, they're worlds apart. External hyperdrive setups are far less common, with internal hyperdrives coming to the fore. The TIE Defender and Eta-2 are very similarly priced but in terms of performance, the Eta-2 is only slightly better than a TIE Interceptor. The Defender will make the Eta-2 its bitch every time. The humble TIE/LN will eat most Republic starfighters for breakfast. Xs, As, and Bs all offer far more for their price than most manned Clone-era craft as well.

In terms of capital ships, shit's weird. An ISD is universally accepted to be superior to the VSD in a gun duel but the VSD was written to carry an absurd amount of starfighters. Lucrehulks are also capable of carrying fuckloads of fighters but they're so rare post-CW that it's hard to compare them to stuff like ISDs and MCs.

That's one example compared to lots and lots of other examples where they're pretty much redshirts. Redemption in Rogue Squadron and X-Wing is the most glaring example. Empire at War Neb-Bs are useless for anything other than slowly chipping Tartans and CR90s to death. In Wraith Squadron, IIRC, one of the first ships to die to the Loran Spitball is a Zsinj-aligned Neb-B. Their track record is pretty shitty, barring the R1 Neb(s) and Warspite.

The ISD was designed based on the lessons the Republic learned during the Clone Wars. Before the Civil War era, snubfighters were not really a threat to capital ships, particularly ones as heavily shielded and armoured as the ISD. Why bother putting on loads of point defence to shoot down snubfighters that can't carry heavy enough ordnance to threaten you, especially when you have your own complement of (allegedly) superior Ties to keep you safe.

The ISD would absolutely roflstomp anything that fought in the Clone Wars. Too bad it, like all the other weapons built based on the lessons of a previous war, did not fight in the Clone Wars.

>VSD was written to carry an absurd amount of starfighters
Why was this the case, if snubfighters were relatively shit?

Was it just a "you go to war with the army you have" kind of thing, where the NR thought that strike wings of missile/torpedo armed fighters were the future, but the tech to make that truly effective was not quite there.

>Before the Civil War era, snubfighters were not really a threat to capital ships, particularly ones as heavily shielded and armoured as the ISD.
Y-wings were part of the Republic arsenal so we know that is false.

If you want an in-universe reason, maybe it was an attempt to counter the CIS' own penchant for droid swarms. Eventually, Imperial ship design philosophy shifted to emphasize winning gun fights over carrier doctrine as the CIS' droid swarms fell by the wayside and the Empire shifted to fighting much smaller pirate bands and Rebel fighter wings. An ISD's 72 TIEs were enough to overwhelm and destroy almost any enemy fighter/freighter opposition and you had the ISD's turbos to swat anything bigger than a freighter. If you want an out-of-universe reason, writers probably just didn't scale things properly.

Dude. Hollywood is definitely that retarded. These are people who've decided a fucking monhun movie needs to be set in modern day new York with GOJIRA knockoffs attacking. Starting a child who goes a a journey of self discovery blah blah blah.

Of course something as equally retarded will happen in Disneywars "actually it was a galaxy right here and now all along epic tweest"

>a fucking monhun movie
Hold up, what? There's a Monster Hunter movie? And it's not being done as fantasy Jurassic Park with swords?

Stabbity stab stab with decorative blaster rifle. Always.

Sniper is for boring useless faggots.

They are a late war design, and presumably never got to really shine during the war due to any number of factors (poor tactics, lack of advanced munitions or simply a lack of good targets).

There's like a dozen on the Kuat Drive Yards site.

So much this.

Except the webm I posted is from ROTJ showing a Nebulon in a melee fight with the Super Star Destroyer Executor, and they're all over Jakku btfoing Impfags. And then there was that really big one in TFU2. They're also no laughing matter in Armada.

Its being done as Godzilla 2001(?) With some randumb new Yorker schlub finding out they're the chosen one, the Monster Hunter. Its so awful it'll make the last shiti look good by comparison. It'll make abayar the last airbender live action and Dragonball gt live action seem good.

>I will never not be mad fucking Hollywood faggots DELETED a 90% finished Dragonball starring Donnie yen as goku and jet li as vegeta in order to reshoot the whole film with a wildly different script starred ng some retarded american child.

>Too bad it, like all the other weapons built based on the lessons of a previous war, did not fight in the Clone Wars.
Would a Star Destroyer built on lessons from the GCW have point defense? I'd think so, maybe an Imperial III model would have reduced turbolasers and ion cannons in exchange for more point defense. I reckon it wouldn't sacrifice that much firepower.

>Venator I

There's a Venator II?

Generic nebs are a laughing mater in Armada. You dan't take Yavaris for firepower, in fact you hope it never sees combat and Salvation is coin flip the ship.

Every ship in Armada is divided into two (or four) classes

If that Neb-B in that scene is supposed to be Redemption, it was listed in Legends as KIA, so still dead. Antares Six, one of the other Neb-Bs at Endor, also died later to World Devastators.

>that really big one in TFU2
>he doesn't know what an Assault Frigate is

I'm talking about the Salvation which was a Nebulon B except like 5 times as big, Mon Cal Cruiser sized practically

and they didn't in canon so I don't know what your argument is here
