Star Wars: Republic and Empire (OOC thread)

Dave, just to double check. It isn't yet Istara's turn so before Istara can search her feelings, but that wont be til next turn, which is after our Frigate and the Bombers act, correct?

Correct. Also, the Nebulon-C needs to act, and Lt. Gelian (and maybe Zenith; don't remember).

 

[Shalimar]

Gelian and Zenith are before Istara as well, thanks for the info.

Do any of our ships have Ion Cannons?

Nope. I kind of pulled ion cannons out of my ship designs because I couldn't make sense of the mechanics...

 

[Shalimar]

I tend to put Ion cannons on any ship I make, then again, its usually just modifying space transports and they are pretty much defensive on something that small.

My understanding of Ion weapons is that if they beat the opponents Damage Threshold they drop 2 steps, and they take half the damage. If you drop an opponent to 0, then they drop 5 steps down to disabled automatically.

You know, I had this big ol' discussion explaining Ion Cannons and their concept, but then I re-read what you said and realized that you were talking about the game mechanic and not the concepts mechanic. *chuckles*

Here I was, all ready to talk about electromagnetic pulse weaponry aimed along a particle stream, instead of as a burst weapon, and the positives and negatives of such a device. *grins*

That's funny.

 

[Friadoc]

That's funny.

I've had to have the discussion before, both with friends that have a mind for theoretical science and those who do not, so it is close to an autonomic response, now. *laughs* Oddly enough, I enjoy theoretical physics a lot, but I need to get my mathematics up to snuff to truly grok it.

 

[Shalimar]

Dave is there anyway for us to target their shield generators and/or engines? By default there isn't but would you be open to improvising something to let us target specific ship systems?

Strafing engines, or targeting the weapon systems since those are all external makes a bit of sense though probably at a higher penalty since they are much smaller than the ship as a whole.
