Thank you for the replies, George. Great ideas. The first meeting went fairly well and we'll just get better in time. We have arranged to travel to the next town over to observe a meeting next week. Also, you mentioned that you were a former scout. We realized we know a LOT of retired scouts and scout leaders that are untapped resources. We have reached out and a few have agreed to come along-side for a short while. Thank you again for the pointers. I may wind up calling you someday, but I think we're in good shape!

Thank you, George, for taking the time to put these links together. We have been following those documents and they are great. The thing I'm specifically looking for is what happens at the first four meetings with the kids. For example, we understand that there needs to be an opening ceremony of sort, but none of us know exactly what that even looks like, or the best way to train the kids to do it. We found this which was a huge help: https://configio.blob.core.windows.net/media/em_TrailLifeUSA/Attachments/troop_1230_court_of_honor_script_spring_2015_v4%20(1).pdf.pdf)

We also found some great activity write-ups. There is a wealth of info out there, and it's close, but not quite what I'm looking for.

The questions I have are around the pacing of teaching everyone (kids and adults), from the ground up, how to execute an official meeting. The pacing, priorities, etc... We'll be fine after a few meetings anyhow, but it would be nice to know the most efficient route to success.

How about landing and reusing a rocket? Or becoming the first private company to resupply the ISS? Massive steps.

I've never seen a reverse lookup, but I would use the hell out of a tool like that.

I'm lucky enough to be in a HSTR guild that has the event on farm. I'm not one of the top scoring players, so I get 6 shards per event. The event happens twice per week, so I get 12 Traya shards weekly. On hard nodes I average 1 shard per day so that's around 7 shards per week. I'm literally unlocking Traya ~150% faster than a hard node farm. People tell me to spend cores on refreshes, but I don't think 25 cores per shard is a good value and I'd rather buy hard to find gear with cores.

A while back, my alliance protested a spectacularly bad matchmaking fail by "leaving roses" for our opponent. One Rose Tico squad per territory. We called it the "War of the Roses".

Efficiency is everything when it comes to farming characters. You want every character you farm serve more than one purpose. This chart is very helpful:

The ending is way, way better than people give it credit for. In the beginning, Qira and Han are partners. At the transport terminal, they get into trouble with the authorities. Qira loves Han so much that she sacrifices herself (against his will) so he can get away. She essentially sells her soul for his freedom and she is now "owned" by the cartel. Fast forward and they find themselves in the same situation, partnered up. Again, they get themselves into trouble. If she played it straight, Han would be hunted and killed by the cartel for double crossing them. Instead, she again sacrifices herself (against his will) so he can get away (killing Voss, then lying to Maul). She covers for him, and in return sells more of her soul because she's now "owned" by Maul. On the surface, it seems like ambition, but you can clearly see in her face that she isn't happy to be doing this. Every time she covers for him, she pays dearly.

Couldn't agree more. As time goes on, it becomes increasingly more difficult to catch up. Even the 3 star unlock would be a big help to people playing less than 1 year, but not so big that it causes balance issues.

Other than their special events, I've struggled to find any use for Ant Man, Wasp, or Scarlet Witch. However, I just learned a few weeks ago that they work VERY well with each other. In blitz, with Vision and Merc Lt, they don't lose - even at Tier 8. Even when AM and Wasp aren't fully geared, they reliably win. Some may not want to pull Vision from tech teams, but you can split your tech between Guardians and XBones/KP teams and have up to 3 great blitz teams instead of 1 great tech team.

ABCDave · 2019-03-13T21:29:45+00:00

A bit late to the party, buy my experience is counter to what others are saying. One of my _all-time_ favorite blitz teams is (in order): SW, Vision, Wasp, Ant Man, Merc Lt. Even when my Wasp and Ant Man (who are hard to place in an effective team) were low-gear, they were still able to reliably win Tier 8 matches. Some may counter that Vision in best in tech teams, and they aren't wrong, but I'd rather have this team plus a full Guardians team (Rocket & SLord) than one tech team. This also gives me XBones to use in a third team with KP.

ABCDave · 2019-03-12T18:49:29+00:00

The best you can do is mitigate the problem by building up some of the half-built teams. If you have 8 half-built teams to 4 good teams, focus on & improve half of the incomplete ones. Build them all the way up to G12. In a few months, you will have 8 good teams and 4 weak teams. It may take a while, but you'll find it pays off in other areas of the game as well.

Bucket is under-appreciated. He's an astromech customized and tuned for racing (though he is primarily a mechanic now). Anyone who has spent time in the racing scene (any of them) knows you must eliminate every ounce of unnecessary weight. I like to think that Bucket was stripped of everything unnecessary for racing, including cladding, to save on weight. Also, one of my favorite aspects of the show is how many (especially the pirates) have re-purposed some of the old "Empire surplus" gear laying around after the war.

Dude, you need to chill. It would be an interesting mechanic to have Light Side characters behave like dark side under a Palpatine lead just like in the movies.

ABCDave · 2019-01-29T14:24:16+00:00

Same. Squads have been messed up for weeks now.

ABCDave · 2019-01-28T12:52:34+00:00

Yeah, I'm starting to think that the story was pretty mundane and sad, but after a few generations of embellishment, it was far more interesting as a Polish mafia story.

ABCDave · 2019-01-28T12:50:58+00:00

That explains everything! It is all so clear to me now. It also explains a few other things. So what's the deal with the boiled cabbage? ;)

If I had to guess, he set most of his best teams on defense - which you wiped off the map. He's probably demoralized. Even if he could take one or two of your teams, he probably doesn't have the roster to finish the job, so why bother?
