Star Wars: Republic and Empire (OOC thread)

[drothgery]

How many types of ships are you going to need to build?

Imperial III-class Star Destroyer
Proficient Class Cruiser
Sacheen-B-class frigate
Freedom-class Battleship
P-Wing Bomber

Quite a few; those plus
MC90-class Heavy Cruiser
Alderaan-class Light Cruiser

on the Republic side, and probably some new ships in the Imperial order of battle as well. Probably a refit Super Star Destroyer design. And the Imperial counterpart to your ship will be the Nebulon C frigate (which should be pretty simple, since it'll just be a tweaked Nebulon B frigate).

I'll change the Imperial fighter mix from basic TIE fighers with a few Interceptors to mostly Interceptors with something next-generation as the elite. Not the Defender, though; those are too good to exist in any kind of numbers (and I'm half-tempted to butterfly them out of existence).

For right now, though, I'll just need frigates and fighters.

The defenders are insanely good at their price, equal to an E-wing (200k). They are smaller (size bonus), better armed (an extra set of ion cannons), twice the shield strength, more agile (+5 dex), and much much faster (Space Speed 8).

The design chapter doesn't even have an speed of 8, but a speed of 6 costs 100,000, and with the 80,000 increase from 5-6 speed should make the cost 300,000+ just for the engine.

Both our Pilot Jedi seem to be exactly what Storm dislikes in the New Jedi Order. He didn't fit in because he was too uptight and strict in following the old Code, and Istara & Zenith both find even the new Code to be too restrictive .

 

[Shalimar]

Istara doesn't find it restrictive so much as not caring about it. Think Han Solo with the Force, or Cade Skywalker.

 

[Blackrat]

Not even caring for the Code! Even worse! .

I foresee much need for patience in Storm's future...

Actually, looking through SOTG I don't think you can actually recreate most of the starship with the design rules, prebuilt ships are pretty much universally better than what you can design from the ground up.

What Starships do the Corellians use? I'd think probably an update of the Heavy Light Attack fighter. It has upgraded Shield's, upgraded Maneuverability, Hyperdrive, Nav Computer, Fire Linked Lasers, Fire Linked Proton Torpedoes, and equal speed to the E-wing. Its also built by the Corellian Engineering Corps, ie locally, and was in use during the Galactic Civil War/New Republic Era, and was further upgraded for the 2nd Civil war though there aren't stats or specifics on that.

I put a list of the major classes of starships in use by the relevant parties in the characters thread at
http://www.enworld.org/forum/plots-...s-republic-empire-characters.html#post4585038 . The Corellian attack fighter is an updated Heavy Light Attack fighter.

If I'm reading this correctly, Coruscant is still Imperial, correct?

If so, we've definately got a Richmond/Washington D.C. thing going on. Those two planets are close.

Yup.

The core worlds are really, really messy, and most of the planets that have changed sides there did so mostly through political means (including Anaxes, which was brought into the Republic via some tricky manuevers that involved an Imperial Admiral defecting).
