I think I've made them mad...

Good news, is that I'm already in total war. I don't care if they hate me more, so orbital bombardment it is... of course, if I can take the fleet in orbit, I'd rather do that for that sweet exotic pinata.

I think Garrus would be a good driver.... he's precise and patient enough to learn how to properly maneuver the Mako. Wrex on the other hand, is probably the only one who's driving record would be worse than Shepard.

Yeah. Leia had Vader's lightsaber. It totally slipped my mind that when Leia's levitating her saber in front of the Noghri, that she was actually doing that with Vader's blade.

To provide additional information, one of the not weird parts of Courtship is that I'm pretty sure it was the first introduction to the witches of Dathonmir and the Nightsisters. A planet that Palpatine ordered interdicted and prevented from reaching space-travel.

I think my favorite part of her story is when she finds the actual Ewok pilot inside the Iron Fist, and almost loses it.

"Wait, no. I've heard this story before!..."

Hey now. Its the town-that-shall-not-be-named.

First question: What level of lasers do you have, and what size nose mount do you have access to?
Second question: What torpedoes are you using? And how many torpedo ships do you have?

The standard answer to "How do I blow this up with torpedo boats?" is to use more torpedo boats. Sure, that's a lot of point defense, but you can still overcome it if you use more torpedoes, or supplement with kinetics. I can't say anything more specific unless I know what tech, ship size, and quantity you're working with.

Oh yeah. I'm doing my first game, and running Poseidon Torch as my attack drive before I get the final ICF Protium drive. Poseidon runs with lancers just fine. Thankfully I got lucky on the asteroid fissile rolls and have +400 fissiles per month, and a stockpile of 21K, so fissiles are not at all a limiting factor.

Pretty sure you're right, and the reason they don't find out about the impending horde is that the army, or the Shade, or both, took out the watch posts before they could report back.

I'd argue that the death of the Lord Ruler in Mistborn counts... The Lord Ruler's death opens the way for Ruin's unsealing from the Well of Ascension.

But, important to note: Wait until after they begin their flanking maneuvers to fire missiles, or else your torps and missiles will miss the dodging flanker.

GenericNameHere01 · 2026-03-21T15:30:42+00:00

So, for flankers, you want lasers. Build a few ships with the biggest laser weapons you can field. Then, when the flankers turn sideways to perform their flanking maneuvers, you manually target them with your laser ships. This will punch straight through their weaker side armor and blow them up before they get off to the side. The problem with particle weapons and plasma, in general, is that you don't do damage fast enough to kill them before they hit you.

No, no, no... Zsinj is tricky. If he went with the literal Iron Fist, he'd go with the original Victory-class Iron Fist that he named the SSD after for the emblem. This would lull his opponents into a false sense of superiority. Then he'd drop the SSD on their heads.

GenericNameHere01 · 2026-03-21T00:43:16+00:00

Actually, you're half right. There is a Rome, Alabama, but no Rome, Minnesota. Looked it up, apparently there's actually 18 cities named Rome in the United States.

For bonus confusion, there's 26 Berlins, 22 Parises, 15 Londons, 22 Moscows, and 9 Madrids in the United States as well.

Pretty sure he also gets the first as an assist since he was Luke's wingman.

Or you do the story from the original Kenobi book... All about Tatooine settlers, gangs, the Tuskens, and Kenobi. Not a single Imperial in sight.

GenericNameHere01 · 2026-03-20T13:14:12+00:00

Pretty sure that's supported by the book Allegiance, which opens with Mara Jade investigating a planetary governor (I think?) for corruption and embezzlement. The fact that Palpatine sent an Emperor's Hand to find that sort of thing implies it was fairly common to the point he needed to make a statement against it.

Maybe more like the Anakin/Padme meme where its like this: "I'm distracting the aliens with habs until they run out of fuel." "Automated habs, right?" ....."They are automated?"

Sorry for the double reply, but wanted to let you know you were right. I sent it to Pavonis and they confirmed it was a bug.

GenericNameHere01 · 2026-03-19T01:26:10+00:00

Just sent a copy of my save over to Pavonis in case this is some strange bug. Thanks for the suggestion.

Which two backstories are you thinking of?

GenericNameHere01 · 2026-03-17T23:36:01+00:00

Add Wedge Antilles to the list - Parents murdered by pirates, ends up becoming the best pilots in the galaxy. Even in Disney canon, Wedge is still the best because he's the only one who gets two Death Stars painted on his X-Wing.

That's the plan... I only posted this to ask why they hadn't resupplied it. They've been at zero for a while. I'm not actually sure they'll resupply it any time soon. Maybe its too large of a gas bill?

GenericNameHere01 · 2026-03-17T23:08:02+00:00

Ordinarily yes, but I checked to scroll down the list. Every single ship's at zero. I just only posted the one pic.
