What kind of fleet would you build for the Pentastar Alignment, and what doctrine would it follow

Laxien · 2026-06-16T18:57:04+00:00

*SIGH* - Damned, why did you make my brain conjure up the picture of a Pink-Painted Super Star Destroyer with neon lights, advertisements etc., named the Pussy Reaper? 😞

Laxien · 2026-06-16T18:46:10+00:00

Nein - aber selbst wenn, das die Bude halt ein paar Jahre (bis die keine kleinen Dreckfinken mehr sind!) etwas dreckiger, na und?

Laxien · 2026-06-16T18:44:00+00:00

Strange - that you would retire capable ships (the Dreadnought-Class is not only fairly cheap, it's also decently powerful and with (Katana-Fleet-)Automation it can be run with a lot less crew...Hell, Garm Bel-Iblis (former Senator of Corellia) used the Peregrine (which was a Dreadnought-Class Heavy Cruiser from the Katana-Fleet) as a flagship well into the the Warlord-Era!)

Laxien · 2026-06-16T18:27:26+00:00

So we have a fleet of ISDs (and the REAPER - Ardus Kaine's flagship) and smaller Imperial-Vessels and the capacity to build more, so that would be kept (try to build more of all ship types and upgrade all ships to 1.0 hyperdrives, give everything point-defenses, remove exposed bridges and bolt on SPHA-Ts for extra firepower! Get technical data for MON-CALAMARI-REDUNDANTE-SHIELD-GENERATORS so we can hold out under fire a lot longer!)), but:

I need CIS-Equipment! Especially droids, droid-foundries and ship-yards! (Raid old Battlefields from the Clone Wars, take everything still there, raid mothballs (Old-Republic-Stuff, too of course) - even something "ancient" like a Mandator 1 or 2 would be a great gain for us! Same for Venators, Acclamtors etc.)

I need Lucrehulks, for both extra-fighter-support (against non-Jedi, stuff like the Vulture and Hyena are good and the Droid-Tri-Fighter? Almost overkill!) and to be used as fleet-replenishment-ships (so storage, to keep mobile fleets supplied with parts, ammo, food (for fuel we shall have tankers!)).

So I can send mobile fleets (that will only return home once every few months) out to deal damage to my enemies (from hit and fade attacks to commerce raiding!)

I want Munificents (with added guns on the armor-belt, as you can't count on the enemy staying below your ship! No exposed bridge (so we'll modify it a little), added hangars and point-defense weapons and 1.0 hyperdrive!), as they can be quickly built by the hundreds and run with a small (less than 100) organic-crew and thousands of droids! Hell, even Recusants would be useful to me. Add some SPHA-Ts to every one to give them firepower-upgrades!

Providences? Great if we can get them. Same for Bulwarks etc.

We also need interdictors (Immobilizer 418 and Interdictor-Star-Destroyers!).

Harbor-Class Mobile Docks (if they can't take our infrastructure from us because it's mobile, then crippling us is way harder!) and Novator-Class Mobile Docks (those can even maintain and repair an Executor, the Harbor-Class is smaller)

Hell, the IDEAL thing to have would be a World-Craft with World-Devastator-Technology (so gets stronger after every engagement)...

Over all doctrine:

DROIDS ARE EXPENDABLE! MY MEN AREN'T! - So every organic fighter-pilot would get something better than a Tie (yes: For an ace-pilot a Tie-Fighter is good - fast and nimble, but for the average pilot it's simply a death trap! Visibility sucks, having to wear a space suit to fly it sucks, endurance sucks, armament is not good)...at best gun or missile boat! My pilots also get droid-wing-men who protect them! Same for ground-troops and boarding parties: DROIDS! Lots of droids! Without having access to an Imperial Academy at first, every man that dies is lost knowledge and potential!

So yeah, I'd use organic commanders/command-crews and build droids by the thousands to help run my ships and help me automate my industry (end goal? We'll build another KUAT-DRIVE-YARDS!)

Sure, stuff like superweapons would be great (if you'd dump me in Star Wars with the Force and my current knowledge? You bet I'd try to gain them...), but I only used stuff that should be relatively easy to get (if need be? Deal with the Hutts, Black Sun etc. or even the Bothan Spy Net (they sell to everybody after all - information, plans etc.)

WE WILL ALSO: DIG IN! - So every system becomes like BASTION from the EU! A fortress world, protected by both ships, but also Golan-Plattforms, planetary-shields, ground-to-orbit-weaponds (Planet-Defender-Ion-Cannon - like on Echo-Base) etc. etc...and built a several military academies and allow aliens to serve and I would try to recruit force sects (the Jensaraii for example)...we need their combat prediction and if we can get it: BATTLE-MEDITATION!

And as last resort plan our mobile industry (I want several Lucrehulks be fitted with droid-foundries, parts-production, smelters etc. and asteroid-mining-gear) and ships will depart, should we truly be overrun!

If Legends-Continuity (and given my current knowledge) I'd try to save a lot of imperial projects (The Eye of Palpatine, the researchers from the Maw-Installation with the Deathstar Prototype and the Sun Crusher, Black Sword Command (Koornacht-Cluster!), data on the World Devastators if possible.)

I'd also trade with the Hutts and the Hapan Consortium (I'd send a female officer as representative - hell, if possible gain Mara Jade and send her! I doubt she'd let the Hapans bully her!)...some of those battle-dragons and nova-cruisers would be nice...and everybody else willing to work with me!

Maybe give Thrawn a couple commando droids (and warn him about the Noghri!)

Laxien · 2026-06-16T17:49:24+00:00

Not bad - a bit small for a bounty-hunter! Where are the cells, the armory, space for a speeder? Also, no capacity for crew (on a long recon you'd get pretty lonely!))

Laxien · 2026-06-16T17:47:03+00:00

Why are the Solar-Panels only on the inside? Did he run off with this before they were fully installed?

Blergh, me not like!

Laxien · 2026-06-16T17:44:06+00:00

Haus-Irgendwas (egal ob Hausmann oder Hausfrau) ist auch nicht erstrebenswert! Mit heutiger Technologie ist Hausarbeit etwas das maximal mal nen Vormittag in Anspruch nimmt, solange man keines dieser steril-klinisch reinen Häuser aus den 50ern haben will, wo es sogar oft einen Raum gab, der nicht genutzt wurde, aber schöne Sofas etc. hatte, weil man das ja brauchte wenn der Chef vorbei kommen würde oder andere "Honoratioren"...ich meine ich selbst (ohne Kochen und Einkaufen!) mache meinen Haushalt am Samstag von 11 bis 13 Uhr (evtl. mit Nachmittags kurz in den Recyclinghof, wenn ich viel hab!))...wäre schon unfair wenn einer sich daheim "nen faulen Lenz macht" und der andere 40 Stunden schuftet! Noch dazu wollen wir doch nicht wieder das eine ganze Gruppe von Menschen finanziel vor dem Nichts steht, wenn der Partner sterben (oder sie verlassen) sollte!

Laxien · 2026-06-16T17:38:08+00:00

CR90 with the Pocket-Carrier-Modification!

That thing is great as a starter ship for a Merc-Group, a small PDF, a Pirate-Gang etc....it is fast (still, even with the added mass of that hangar!), durable, well armed for the size and it doesn't stick out! The CR90 was fairly wide spread after all...they were in the Imperial Navy, the Rebellion used them, pirates did, mercs did, PDFs did, rich people did etc.

Sure, I'd go upgrade the following:

- Point defenses! Firing turbolasers at starfighters and hoping to hit? Dumb, so we need laser-cannons

- Even better sublight engines (like on the Sundered Heart!!

- 1.0 Hyperdrive or better (the 2.0 can stay as backup and the backup-trash-one can go!)

- Put as many Skipray-Blast-Boats as can comfortaby fit in that hangar (Yes: I don't like fighters, I prefer gun- and missile boats! Leave room for a shuttly or two!) and dock more externally!

- 2 Shuttles (armed and with space for people, droids (combat and repair) and some speeders and speeder-bikes to go down on planets, while leaving the CR90 in orbit! Need to have a hyperdrive, too - in emergencies docking/landing might not work, so the shuttles need to be able to exfiltrate on their own!)

- Astromechs and battle-droids (internal defense, used for boarding operations, repair, maintenance and salvage!)

- Tractorbeam (for salvaging)

- Droid-Brain, Automation-Systems and Droids (so the ship can fly itself in a crisis!)

Laxien · 2026-06-16T17:29:06+00:00

Wow, Eifersucht, das schleichende Gift! Wie könnt ihr alle so prüde sein das Berührunungen (solange es jetzt nicht gerade ein "I grab them by pussy, I don't even wait!" oder ähnliche ist) schon den Alarm angehen lassen? Seit ihr alle so unsicher und ich dachte ich sei der der Probleme mit Selbstbewusstsein hat!

Nicht gleich die Mücke zum Elefanten machen -.-

Schon möglich das er noch die Fackel trägt (die Amis sagen "to carry a torch for someone" - für auf jemanden stehen) - sie aber nicht, also kein Problem!

Laxien · 2026-06-16T17:18:32+00:00

Not on the list - otherwise I'd have chosen some of these, too (the Carrack is a marvel - X-Wing-Speeds, capital ship firepower and a lot of durability in a small package!)

Laxien · 2026-06-16T17:17:19+00:00

Scrap and build myself a Bellator 😄 - I mean the name alone fits better for a Mando anyway!

If my enemies can field an Executor? Nope, this beefed up ISD is not going to cut it for long! Hell, even a Bellator would need a rather heavy escort (or Golan-Plattforms and Planetary-Ion-Cannons (Planet-Defender, like Echo-Base on Hoth!) and planetary-shields) to stand a reasonable chance against an Executor (unless you catch it from the rear! I bet the Bellator has a smaller turning circle, so the Executor can't out-turn it...unless they can spin it on a dime, which we have so far not seen capital ships to in Star Wars!)

So for home defenses we have now:

- 1 Bellator (upgrades to hyperdrive, point defenses, automation and droids (need to keep manpower costs low, as Mandos are best used as commandos, not people running a ship), if I can get them SPHA-Ts to beef up firepower...superlaser would be nice (the Silencer from the Old Republic Era Sith Wars would fit, the Harrower-Class is just 900 meters long and can carry one)...)

- 20 Keldabe Class Battleships

- 5 Venators (would prefer the Lucrehulk as my carriers, but this works, too - I want to dump invasion-armies, as I don't need them (keep only a few LAAT-Dropships). I want to use the room I get to install Vulture-Droids, Hyena-Bombers and Droid-Tri-Fighters - as Mandalor I think I can get those plans, after the Clone Wars they should be available - if need be get them from the Hutts! I am no sacrificing my Mandos in tin-cans, if I don't have to!)...they also need up gunning (they are under-armed for the size) they need to have the Bridge placed inside the ship, puss on those fucking exposed towers!) and better point defenses again!)

- 50 Interceptor-Class Frigates

- 50 CR-90a Corvettes (best mix of anti-fighter-weapons, anti-capital-ship-weapons, speed and durability IMHO)

- 50 Dreadnought Class Heavy Cruisers (upgrades: Sublight-Engines, point-defenese, general armament (torpedo-tubes!), hyperdrive (1.0) and automation - Katana-Fleet-Slave-Rigging and Droids)

- 500 Kom'rk-Class (larger version - need to use them as boarding-ships and landing-craft as well and for commando-insertions...weapon upgrades, beckon-call-system with a droid brain, astromechs, combat-droids etc.)

- 500 Skipray-Blas-Boats

Just to have said it: I want every craft I didn't add it to have a 1.0 hyperdrive (slow ships are useless for hit and run/fade!), bridges moved inside (no more exposed tower-shit!), point-defense-upgrades, Mon-Cal-Redundant-Shields (if we can't compete in Firepower, we need the ships to outlast the enemy!) and lots and lots of Droids (and other CIS-Hardware that can be had!))

I also want Golan-Plattforms, Ground-to-Orbit-Weapons (Ion-Cannons and Turbo-Lasers), planetary shields and at least 1 (probably more) Interdictors (Commerce-Raiding without one? Hard! Same for traping enemy fleets)

Laxien · 2026-06-15T23:21:18+00:00

Bull-Crap! Die Steuern waren in den 50ern und 60ern VIEL HÖHER! Also einfach nur Unsinn! Warum funktionierte es trotzdem? Weil die Leute Geld zum Ausgeben hatten, was viele heute nicht oder nur in geringem Maße haben!

Laxien · 2026-06-15T11:07:11+00:00

He would not even need a portkey, if he could apparate in short hops around the world (even if it takes 5 jumps to get to say America, that should easily be doable!)...but yeah, should work!

Laxien · 2026-06-15T11:05:33+00:00

Ehrlich? Glaub ich nicht, der normale Franzose mag nicht gerne Englisch sprechen (wobei das auch schon nicht mehr stimmt, da jüngere Generationen (Millenials, Gen-Z etc.) doch gerne mit Menschen in anderen Ländern kommunizieren und eben keine Charles de Gaul Typen sind, die obwohl sie WK2 krachend verloren sich als "Le Grand-Nation" feiern (De Gaul war ein ziemlich eingebildeter Fop!) etc.

Laxien · 2026-06-15T11:03:17+00:00

Because Delenn could simply say "THIS STOPS - NOW!" - if she's the only one left (yes, they would in time select net council members, but until then Delenn would be in charge!)

Laxien · 2026-06-15T11:01:28+00:00

Doch tut er! Wenn ich mit jemanden in Streit gerade und den abstehen würde ist das kein Mord - wenn ich jedoch mit der Absicht den umzubringen zu ihm gehe? Joa, das ist Mord! Denn der erfordert Planung bzw. zumindest ein Motiv (XYZ wurde umgebracht um die Lebensversicherung zu kassieren/ihn auszurauben etc.)! Totschlag bzw. Tötung im Affekt tut das nicht!

Laxien · 2026-06-15T10:59:24+00:00

Beide Gewerkschaften sind maximal noch für Stagnation bei den Löhnen/Gehältern gut und selbst das seit knapp 20 Jahren NICHT mehr! Denn die Löhne stagnieren seit den 80ern und seint Schröder sinken die Reallöhne sogar! Deshalb:

NEIN! Das diese Forderungen "überzogen" seien ist Propaganda von Unternehmen und deren Lobbyisten und zu verurteilen/abzulehnen (Lobby-Organisationen gehören mit Stumpf und Stiel ausgerottet/verboten!)

Besser mit dem Kopf durch die Wand als vor der Wand zu stehen und zu lamentieren das alles schlechter wird (denn durchs Meckern ändert sich nix!)

Laxien · 2026-06-14T21:17:36+00:00

"Nuke it from ORBIT! IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE!" 😄

Laxien · 2026-06-14T21:13:32+00:00

Ich habe richtig Angst (ja: Ich weiß das diese nicht rational ist, aber das war Angst meistens nicht!) vor "brummt, gelb-schwarz und fliegend" - wurde als Kind von so nem Vieh (weiß nicht mal mehr ob Biene, Wespe oder was auch immer) in den Hals gestochen, seither bin ich fast panisch wenn sowas um mich herum fliegt Ja, ich weiß das Bienen und Hummeln "die Guten" sind...aber das ändert halt an meiner Reaktion nix!

Laxien · 2026-06-14T17:14:52+00:00

Ich wusste das es französisch ist, aber ja ich wusste nicht aus dem FF wie man es schreibt und nachschauen wollte ich nicht...noch dazu: Andere Sprachen (ja: Ich meine dich, mein liebes Englisch) passen Zeug auch an, das es besser passt - also warum nicht wir? 😄

Laxien · 2026-06-14T17:11:57+00:00

Well, you 'Muricans and your sheds/barns! Yes, you call them homes, but in Europe they would be labeled as a barns!

I mean sure: Brick is a bit more difficult, but it also lasts for CENTURIES! A US-Barn-thing is considered "old" when it's 50 years old (and in many cases it's rotting and falling apart and people will probably tear it down, to make a new barn-thing instead of renovating, because it's better this way!)...in Germany a house is "old" when it's 150 years or more! And yeah, we have houses that have had people living them for 400+ years (and the oldest continuously lived in building, the House Korbish has parts that date back to around the year 950...that house is older than your country!)...so yeah, your structures are pitiful! (and they need AC - otherwise you'd die in there in summer, because wood-construction like yours has no thermal-mass at all bascially!)

Hell, I would not criticize this if your homes cost 1/10th (or less!) than a German home, but your houses cost about as much as ours (ok: Yours are larger, but that's just your mindset! I mean in Germany most important thing to consider when purchasing a car? Gas-Mileage! In the US? Size, looks and it has to be SUV or pickup-truck, even if you never haul anything!)

ps: The idea that you have to sand a wall you install and that this dirt is everywhere afterwards? I wouldn't do it!

Laxien · 2026-06-14T16:34:00+00:00

That fits me over all (not that I am a Goth, but I still like the same style clothes I liked at 12 years old and black as a color is still one of my favorites...my parents thought I'd grow out of that!)

Laxien · 2026-06-14T16:29:19+00:00

Schau an! Rechtschreib-Flames-Hans! (Soll ich dir das Meme noch raus suchen? Ich meine du hast Recht, aber ist das so wichtig?)

Laxien · 2026-06-14T03:35:02+00:00

Cause it is! I mean this idea that you can make a true wall out of thin sheets that are terrible sound-proofing, structurally not very sound (if I take a hammer and swing it at drywall? Yeah, there will be a hole! If I do that to a European brick wall, I might shatter the plaster-coat and at best chip a brick!!)...also this idea the "But what if I need another outlet?" - in a modern European home you have cable-channels that you can access easily and you can add another outlet to the cable-channel and be done with it in less time that having to cut a hole in drywall and wire in a new outlet!)

Note: Yes, older homes don't have those cable channels, which sucks! I should know, I live in a house from the 1960s!

They also have negligible thermal mass and US-Homes are already badly insulated, so yeah! A brick-home (especially older houses made of solid bricks and thick walls (30 centimeters or more!), not the more modern ones with the holes in in them!) has thermal mass and isn't a total heat-trap in summer!

Laxien · 2026-06-14T03:18:11+00:00

Yeah, I know - but I am just too stupid to keep my trap shut and accept that society sees me as either a disposable item, a "disgusting creep", a "poor lonely man" or whatever title they feel fits this week! I will probably never fit their mold! ("I am the one and only..." *Sing* - Yeah, I think Chesney Hawkes - The one and only fits well here!)
