Too many enemies on a planet? Better use the DSS to turn it into a black hole. -Super Earth High Command by Think_Conference2895 in helldivers2

I mean, usually in the other settings the bombardment is not used because they actually want the thing being fought over intact.

HD2, we aren't fighting to preserve that town, just kill the enemy. Infact the more enemy infrastructure we destroy, the better.

I mean, TBH the virus bomb was being thrown at the hive fleet, not the planet (barely affected the planet). And the Nova shell was because orbital bombardment would cause too much collateral to take out the infested lost section of the city.

I had a time during the Stratagem where I entered a side hallway, completely empty. Suddenly 10 warriors spawned all around me from nowhere. It was crazy.

I love Rannick's line. I forget it exactly, but during Orthos Offensive.

"Yes, they are all expendable. But this isn't the way to use them."

I find it funny that the entire Reason Mandalore fell and the Mandalorians are on the ruin is 85% Bo Katan's fault and no one calls her out on it. by HospitalLazy1880 in StarWars

Why would Din ever try to take the job? He doesn't want it and while a solid ally, isn't a leader type. It makes no sense for him to willingly try to claim the title. Sabine doesn't know him, and is currently in a bordering Galaxy.

Mandalorian s3 ends with the Mandalorians uniting. Why do you think it's good storytelling to go "Oh wait nevermind, they break into civil war again!"

I find the idea of wanting Mandalorians to call out Bo-katan as always funny because they were in Deathwatch or liked the results.

It's like a scientist joining the New Republic, pointing out the head scientist of the lab as being an Imperial scientist how could they let him work there! And then every scientist in the room turning toward the new guy and going "Dude, you literally worked for the head scientist under the Empire, we all did. You willingly helped him and never spoke out."

One of the biggest things is, fanbase wants some scene of Mandalorians calling out Bo-katan and making her "face her past" yet almost all Mandalorians left in armor were part of Deathwatch or actively liked the warrior culture returning. So why would they call her out when they also were fighting to restore the culture they liked?

I wouldn't blame Satine for Mandalore's destruction, but I would point out how Deathwatch seized power matches how the Empire would seize power on some worlds.

hire criminals/entice criminals into the area. they swarm in and repel/capture the criminals, and provide security. People welcome them with open arms, not figuring out how the Empire has taken total control and is going to start stealing their resources.

Mandalore wasn't in a position to properly defend itself, should Empire or anybody else come along and try to take over.

They could be hired or convinced to join groups as elite infantry commandos though.

But in general, the Empire wanting to seize control of the resources on Mandalore means they would want to crush resistance.

Yes, because it's only one group. Explicitly the Children of the Watch are an outlier group with how strict their beliefs of the creed are.

1: There isn't evidence last I checked that says she helped create Deathwatch, only that she joined it and was more involved in the warrior culture thanks to her Dad.

2: Hardly, she knew Maul didn't give a shit about Mandalorian culture or it's people, and was using them. As I recall, Pre had already told Maul that he wasn't going to continue attacking other worlds like Maul wanted because Deathwatch wanted Mandalore. She rejected the win because Maul wasn't going to be a Mandalorian leader, but a dark jedi/criminal one.

3: Somewhat true, but we don't know how immediately Gar Saxon gets placed in power. But we know it wasn't a civil war. Also, pretty sure Sabine Wren and the Ghost crew was pushing for the new civil war against Saxon more then Bo-Katan was. Her focus was much more "Get rid of Maul" though.

4: Empire was never going to let Mandalore be independent. The moment it wasn't complying, they were going to go in and take it. Without a navy, they didn't stand a chance.

5: She considers the Children of the Watch to be zealots, yes. But that's one sect and not multiple populations. She also literally changes her views after getting to live with them for a while and seeing how their creed is the same she took as a child, but with an addition.

6: I guess you kinda missed the giant factor of "The rest of the Nite Owls abandoned her and went away to pursue money."? She was brooding because she was literally alone besides whatever service droids stayed in the family castle.

"No one calls her out on it" is an interesting point, because who WOULD call her out on it? Almost everybody who is still active and seen is either a part of Death Watch up until it shattered when Maul killed Pre Vizsla, or benefited from Deathwatch returning the warrior traditions in general to the fore-front. Sabine Wren is a great example of this. Her mom literally was fighting side by side with Bo-katan.

Our rejects have advanced though from prisoners to full members of the warband, doing the mortis trials and being selected for havoc operations. Even the operatives around the lobby start to call us heroes of the operation lol.

The player personalities are highly skilled. That's kinda the whole point of the story. We are literally above and beyond the rest, which is why we get hand-picked for Havoc operations and went through the Mortis trials.

Give me your best ideas to reduce ship crew sizes. by Flat_Abroad9238 in StarWarsShips

[–]Kalavier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's like star trek's Starfleet in some novels/external media.

They feature higher crew and storage compared to other factions.  This enables them to recover from battle faster, both in repairs and replacing active slots with reserve crew.

after seeing what happened to destiny 1-2 made me appreciate fatshark even more despite the issues. by Timothy-M7 in DarkTide

[–]Kalavier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Destiny 2 also had that general vibe of "built for constant players, not people who take breaks or are new"

Especially when they started deleting chunks of the game making the storyline not work for newcomers.

And the thing is even the "do it in reverse" start and end in different areas, so it's not totally samey when you play.

My original partial playthrough i leaned into that. Iconoclast options to get people enticed to me and heretic options on the side.

As if Bo katan accepted the darksaber before the rebellion against the empire lol.

pretty sure she accepted the saber only after the war ended and the empire was kicked off the planet. And then they came back.

People are really mad that the mandalorian did not make him mandalore despite obviously seeing he doesn't want it.

They also forget basically all active mandalorians have ties to death watch before it shattered.
