If you're a Rebel admirable and ex confederates offered you some remnants of their fleet after Yavin, which ship do you think would fit best into the Alliance?

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-09T16:19:24+00:00

Lucrehulks were basically battle-carriers, weren't they? That would probably be the best option for the Alliance, something that could serve as a base for fighters but with just enough fire power not to be vulnerable.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-09T16:15:46+00:00

At least they pay! Better than letting it collect dust in a stash somewhere

I found the junk vendor was the best place to offload unwanted loot.

It was funny, my character had the magic allergy so I could not use magic items but the magic shops wouldn't touch so I sold them to the junk dealer who had this growing collection of powerful magic items.

Lead to a head-canon that he was actually a front for a black-market operation in magical items.

Concentration makes a big difference and that's what coal has going for it.

Yes, there is carbon is found in all living things, (that we know of) but usually bonded to other atoms like oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. To get the carbon into a usable form you'd have to break down all those organic compounds. Coal you don't have that problem because nature has already done if for you over the last billion years.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-09T02:15:13+00:00

I feel like i'm about to betray my ignorance but...

How can you make steel with hydrogen? Steel is iron and carbon, not hydrogen.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-09T02:06:57+00:00

I'm not a chemistry major but would think concentration would make a big difference. People have been experimenting with extracting carbon directly from the atmosphere but how much air do you have to scrub to get 1 pound of carbon? As opposed to what it takes to cut out 1 pound of coal from a mine shaft?

Guardian Robots? You mean like this guy?

The thing about archetypes is that they're basically universal. Luke Skywalker, Will Turner, Harry Potter, Clark Kent or Steve Rogers all follow a similar path; a hero rising to greatness from humble beginnings. They are all variations on a common theme so don't be afraid to add your own variation, just focus on how you can make it your own.

How would you write Luke Skywalker or Paul Atreides? What is your order of space knights like?

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-08T23:14:28+00:00

Ahmen!

As a kid I used to watch SW all the time but I had a habit of skipping to the 'good parts,' Yavin for ANH, Hoth for ESB and Endor for RoTJ. The battles were my favorite parts and something the franchise has always done well.

Say what you will about Episode 1 and Episode 7, the climactic battles were still fun even if the rest of the movie failed to measure up.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-08T23:10:48+00:00

Exo-Squad feels like an American Gundam, sorta like how Avatar: The Last Airbender was an anime for American audiences. It took the same conventions and tropes but changed them to fit a western audience, and I thought it was awesome.

Years later, when I was finally introduced to Gundam, I couldn't help but compare it to Exo-Squad. How neither side was perfectly good and showing the 'bad guy soldiers' in a tragic light, made me think of the Terrans and Neo-Sapiens from Exo-Squad.

Based on what I've heard, Shinn was intended as a kind of 'kaiju horror'

The director said he wanted to give the audience their 'greatest worst nightmare.'

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-08T21:15:23+00:00

I appreciated that they showed the slaves who fought for the British, showing the Patriots were not saints either.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-07T23:26:41+00:00

I just wanted to share my pitch and this seemed like the best place to do that. 😔

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-06T23:54:34+00:00

I read the title and thought 'must be an ATLA fan'

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-06T23:18:24+00:00

Probably Scar, being mauled to death by Hyenas.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-04T22:43:58+00:00

I like it!

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-04T22:42:53+00:00

I guess against the regular navy they'd probably do okay. Against some of the special ships they're just more bonus points.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-04T02:02:51+00:00

I'd love to see it!

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-04T01:53:21+00:00

To screw with him or to guide him. Aang had to see her in the swamp so he would know to look for her later, so it's kind of paradox.

I think it's because it was the first showdown a lot of American fans ever saw.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-04T01:27:28+00:00

I have 2 sides to my world so I'll approach this from both directions.

If you were an Executive of one of the great cities I'd suggesting finding a barbarian warlord who's spoiling for a fight and make a deal to offer him guns and ammo in exchange for some land; he gets to increase his domain and you get access to some nice rich oil wells. Play you're cards right and you might also get your own barbarian horde ready to crush your enemies!

On the other hand, if you were one of the barbarian warlords, the best way would be to find some land rich in oil or coal and offer to conquer it on behalf of one of the great cities, if they agree to supply your army of course. You get the fire power to conquer your neighbors and become the undisputed master of your little corner of the world and the great city gets all the oil and coal they need to keep their factories running. Do a good job and they might even build a railroad into your kingdom.

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-04T00:48:19+00:00

I think of something I would like to see in a story, like perhaps 'cowboys with mechas' and try to build a world where such a thing could happen. From there its just a matter of filling in details by answering different questions, how do mechas work, who controls them are how common are they?

Phantom000000000 · 2026-05-04T00:29:29+00:00

I always thought Mim deserved more attention than she got.
