No worries man, I'm still getting used to the whole tag system myself lol. I'm used to pm's and chat box pokes.

[Richie B.]

Guess I have to work on a post now

 

[Richie B.]

Sorry guys for not posting I will have it up either tomorrow or Monday again sorry been really busy

 

[Dunbar Snackbar]

If you guys would like I can post another space battle

 

[Richie B.]

@Romaar Sancolt in threads just to let you know double posts arent allowed unless your doing a thread by yourself or the people you are doing the thread with haven't post past 2 weeks.

I will have a post up tomorrow or Monday don't worry I will give you something to fight.

 

[Spud]

It's alright Benvenu, we all have busy times in our lives.

 

[Dunbar Snackbar]

@Benvenu7. Lesson learned.

 

[Richie B.]

@Trucu just to let you know having 180 star fighters makes it kind of hard to fight, not sure if youre aware that a squadron is 60 fighters?

I will post thinking that is what you meant understand I had to read up on a lot of the Imperium armed forces stuff (wow Im doing research and I cant even do that for college lol) so just to let you know now that you committed to this force it was good to have a lot of fighters but poor choice of the bigger ships and even than the amount of fighters will make it difficult good luck everyone I have been working on the post and will have it up today.

Sorry for the long wait guys but get ready for a serious battle. (damn I don't think I have ever written a post this big before)

plus thanks this will really help me in the future if my faction gets off the ground in the next timline (shameless advertisement)

Npcing large battles definitely takes a while lol, at least when you want to do it good. I'm curious to see how the space battle unfolds as I'll likely be making a pilot of some kind next timeline, and I'm eager to see if I can successfully lead my 2.4 squads of troopers on the ground. Though I'm sure most of the npcs will fall in line with the NPC Commander and Trucu & My leadership advice would be situational for the most part, the IC advice at least.

*Edit: Unless of course that Commander gets FUBARed, then pecking order changes a bit.*

 

[Richie B.]

Well I wont be able to write about each single ship but if you guys could work with what I wrote would be great, also @Spud @Trucu @Romaar Sancolt I finally posted its pretty long if anyone has any questions just message me here I am not above editing the post so Im sure we can figure things out.

 

[Dunbar Snackbar]

@Benvenu7 60 fighters=1 squadron? WOW. It does seem there are some places on this site where it states otherwise. Sure, I get the order of battle says that a squadron is 60 fighters but all of the ships in the tech section (both Imperium and Rebelion) has a squadron being 12 fighters, wookiepedia says it as 12 fighters as well.

The Imperium doesn't mess around yea a squadron is worth 60 star fighters

When it comes to stuff like this I honestly think its best to follow the order of battle but if you guys want it so it only equals 12 star fighters it works for me since it kind of even things out

@Romaar Sancolt

 

[Spud]

No questions here, tis a good post. Some good tactics ;)

The game is afoot.

 

[Richie B.]

Well the question stands do you want the squadron to mean 60 star fighters or just 12?
@Spud @Romaar Sancolt @Trucu

I am fine either way

 

[Spud]

I'm fine with either as well, though personally 12ea make more sense. 180 fighters is a ridiculous amount to take on a relatively small mining operation, that's in an asteroid field no less. Just seems like a lot of clutter.

 

[Richie B.]

My point kind of, if there is 180 most of them are just going to hit asteroids and that would just be a waste but again that would work with me a bit, yet 12 works a better since my forces wont be out right killed by numbers alone.

 

[Spud]

Not to mention how insanely careful they'd have to be to avoid friendly fire with the vast number difference.

 

[Richie B.]

Well we should wait to see what the others say cant wait for this to get started that was a lot of writing though if you see any mistakes please tell me so I can fix it been trying to work on my writing.

 

[Spud]

Aye. As for mistakes the only ones I see are minor grammatical at best. Just some minor spelling errors and lack of punctuation. I can pm what I've seen if you want me to.

*Edit: Heading to bed, so if you want me to I won't be getting to it until tomorrow some time.*
