Lost Among the Stars - The Discussion Thread

Considering Vita's just been dragged to who knows where and heard some random people try and order Hayate around, she's liable to be angry.

She gets angry from having her head patted, though that's for different reasons.

Honestly, I keep on feeling sorry for the Imperials... Then I remember they're the Imperials.

Ah, I see. Thanks, Anno.

@deathpigeon:

Well, they are rather haughty... personally, I'm anxious for an opportunity to show someone/something the power of this fully operational battle station Star Destroyer!

Yes, and then you see what happens when a Mark IX nuclear bomb gets teleported somewhere in the vicinity of your primary reactor.

I feel sorry for anyone that tries to invade the Cradle. They wouldn't know what sort of abilities had just hit them...

And Vader would pick up nothing. Unless the Falcon arrived.

Lol, Death Star. We'd all die. Well, except Me and perhaps serenity by running while the big capitals get slaughtered by it.

Wait Vader's here? Shit, that kills my plan.

They're also racist, sexist, and probably, not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised given the last two, homophobic tyrants. Seriously, I feel no sympathy for the Imperials.

I wonder... How bulletproof is Stormtrooper armour?

Or if that fails... Break out the Zats.

Bullet proof? That's hard to say. blasters go through, but it protects from shrapnel. Slug Throwers(aka, guns) are pretty rare in star wars.

Also rare is such things as Divine Buster. At least, on a person.

According to t'wiki, Stormtrooper armour is completely bulletproof except for large caliber or armour piercing rounds.

EDIT: Then again I could handwave it by saying SGC weapons are loaded with armour-piercing rounds (SS 190 rounds for P90s, M995 rounds for assault rifles, etc.) anyway, since enemy mooks tended to wear some form of plate or mail armour.

Yes, the Dark Lord of the Sith is present. I dunno, I think it could actually be rather interesting if Luke was there, although we'd have to be very careful about how we do things.

@deathpigeon:

Well, although that describes a good portion of the Empire's subjects/rulers, there are some perfectly well adjusted Imperials (although they tend to join the Rebellion pronto).

@Deadbeat:

Well, I imagine it provides at least some protection against projectiles - although it's mainly effective against blasterfire (though that doesn't get showcased in the films), I think it'd be rather negligent only to defend against one type of attack.

...Wait, this is the Empire we're talking about. They'd probably just clog the exhaust ports with their corpses.

EDIT:

Ninja'd.

I was hoping to only have a leg up by having Luke. That was about the only fair advantage I could think of. Gorram it.

Well, Solo and pals are quite accomplished, and they seem to have relatively little trouble outrunning a Star Destroyer (that, and the Falcon does quite admirably in the Battle of Endor).

Also, now is a really bad time to go chasing rebels. This is a glorious Mexican Standoff~

Apart from the Saint's Cradle, that's basically scenery.

Eh, I guess the Rebel scum can wait. We have a destiny to attend to.

...I've really got to stop making Vader window dressing - it feels like he's doing nothing more than standing around looking imposing. Thoughts?

-cracks knuckles-

Okay, let's do th- GAH, my knuckles. >.< Ahem, uh... Anyways, let's see if we can't get something out tonight. Tally-ho~!

Isn't that his job when there's nothing that needs him to kill them?

...Good point. That, and being a bad boss/sole provider of Power Walks.

That was my last post for tonight, by the way.

...Gah... There's half-assed, and then there's that. >.< Hopefully the rest of my posts will make up for it.

There's not that many other ways to have such an oversized ship appear.

I have quickly ran into a problem...

800 meter long ship, NO on board FTL drive... when it comes time to move, how do you move a hunk of alloy that big...

3-4km long ship, the engine was destroyed and basically two people there have a clue how to control it. Think you've got a problem?

When we get pulled, it doesn't act on our FTL systems, we just get pulled. I meant for it to be that way if non-FTL ships joined up.

Sorry for not getting online sooner, but I am now on a brutal shift for work 2-11pm (Pacific time) >.<

I have no idea what is going on. The wall of dialogue/script confused me.
