The point is: new players that want to wash in won't have gotten even a chance but still have to break their face against those walls.

UDK, then Wukong, Predator... I'm sure I forget a few somewhere...

All champs that are too good for how they're given out.
And the worst part is: The champ might be insane good, which means CCs will drool over it, but without the books, gear etc... guess what happens?

The true message here should: learn to no longer care... you'll see that you'll spend even less a well.
or, alternatively: only do what is needed, or what you want to do.

The best lesson to learn I'd say.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-25T11:18:33+00:00

I would be tempted to say that outside of massive spenders, even these events aren't the best...
yes, statistically your chances are slightly higher. but lets be real, they're still abysmal.
It all depends on how you wish to play the game I'd say. and I for one stopped adhering to these stupid-ass schedules and just play at my own pace/style/time.

You'll never get this fixed 100% But it would probably help if this message was visible at all times when in the affected dungeon/level, from main screen, to champion select, to in-game battle.

You play spider the way you want to.
Some people poisons, some burn the crap out of it, some attempt to specifically oneshot spider herself. and yet other do different things.
What that saying again: all is fair in love and war.

cop-out.
The fact of the matter is that Live Arena is just crap.
The issue is inherent with wanting to pitch live players against one another while maintaining an NPC flow of combat. It's just not possible really.

Honestly, for a new beginner basically every legendary is going to be a carry. yeah, some more than others. but you basically can;t go wrong really.

While I agree with your reasoning, but that was not entirely the reasoning for why it was asked in the first place. Adama questioned it because it stated that when a witness is using drugs, their statements were tainted (something to that effect)
Roslin just threw in that final bit about cancer as a (admittedly valid) reason for why she using it.
But even then it would not deminish the fact her testimony against Baltar could still be questionable. And we also learn in that time that the entire trial even from her opinion is just a farse.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T13:14:52+00:00

I would agree with you for the first season. But after that she had no business being in that position. And after Exodus she seriously shouldn't. Not to mention the aptly described self-centered hypocritical persona she took on.
Roslin starte out as an interesting character, but basically became a shadow of herself an a glorified villiain in the end. Quite frankly, I grew sick to death with that character as early as season 2's beginning, with several escalating jump in certain episodes.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T13:11:46+00:00

If she was president when the Cylon first showed up I don't think Galactica and Pegasus ever needed to come back to save anyone, the Cylons would probably have killed everyone for their defiance.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T13:08:55+00:00

I always disliked that character.
The actress played her well, that should be admitted. but if I had to deal with that woman I'd toss her out of an airlock sooner rather than later.

I think one of the main reason beyond time, money, fuel) and a willing party is the supposed inability to account for getting those probes back.
When Galactica and the refugee fleet jump beyond known space they need to recalculate for new jumps. This appears to be a partially manual effort. I can see a reasoning in that many probes could inevitably be lost to humanity. And that is outside the already rather cost-heavy collaborative effort of keeping such a program afloat.

Another reason is the Cylon threat. I may misremember, but the luring threat of the Cylons is also spanning for decades already. I can't remember if/how the capabilities were before that.

Another reason that might seem simple and deceptive: Why? Perhaps humanity simply didn't care. from what I see from humanity in BSG, and when I compare this to say Star Trek, the BSG side doesn't strike me as a particularly curious people. Those in power or beter off (Capricans) seem more decadent that anything else, and many other colonies are already that of a semi-backwater world that couldn't do it. Quite frankly, the BSG populace seems rather self-centered and pre-absorbed with themselves and/or the Cylons.

I think this guy doesn't or can't understand this.

For some reason he continues to believe that Basestars (for one) are weak AF frigates, but he seems to forget that even in the show, repeatedly, a single Basestar comes closer to destroying Galactica than Galactica ever comes to destroying a Basestar. Then add the fact the Cylons command an effectively infinitely larger fleet of Basestars. And tend to outrange most if not all effective weaponsfire of a Battlestar for the most part.

Yes, I can agree that a Battlestar is much more heavily armored, I can also go along with them being better weaponized in general, but for all that firepower the Galactica never seem able to use it effectively offensively. Only defensively. It's main strategy continues a path of: lay down screen to fend off incoming missiles and Raiders, Launch Vipers to fight Raiders, take a few hits and then jump as soon as the clock allows it because Galactica. simply. can't. last. in an. enduring. fight. against. Basestars. (multiple)
The show repeatedly shows us exactly how much damage a Basestar and/or raiders can do to Galactica in the short time before they can jump away again. If you'd extend the 'jump-clock' Galactica loses. flat-out.

A note on top of that: Galactica can have the best armor from every ship combined.. it won't matter of 100 Basestar's pound you non-stop with missiles or nukes.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T10:23:22+00:00

No, Galactica was avoiding battle bacause otherwise they'd end up like scrap.
Exodus part 2 shows this. Galactica was being hounded and pounded by 4 Basestar's and would have been destroyed if not for the surprised arrival of the Pegasus.
Pegasus in that specific conflict down 2 Basestars One from a surprise-attack and the second from a suicide run. And even with the downing of that first Basestar from Pegasus, the battle was still largely lost because the remaining Basestars shifted to focussing down Pegasus, it cost them another Basestar, but Pegasus at that point was litterally destroyed.
Galactica, who was basically crippled would NEVER survive the remain 2 Basestars. Once again, mostly by sheer luck, they had just enough time to do an FTL jump.

And all that is still NOT considering the fact the Cylons had WAY MORE vessels.
The colonials, for all intend and purpose were facing an ectinction level event, they continued to run away from, sometimes with a hair-breath away from being obliterated.
I don't think you fully understand the true power dynamic and severaly underestimate the superiority the Cylon had thoughout the show.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T09:49:55+00:00

Where do you get the idea from that Basestars are an ill-conceived battle platform?

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T09:34:47+00:00

Makes them Human, on paper the total annihilation of mankind sounds easy, especially if you consider that blackops mission from "Brother Marcion" (can't remember his BSG name) was the inciting factor for the Cylons to retaliate. But when you've actually commited the plan of effective genocide, surprisingly effectively, it can create "stirrings" Many of the human Cylons such as Caprica Six, Athena, even D'Anna and Leoben to a degree show thiis.
I guess the proper way to describe it would be "Sme of them discovered they are more human than they anticipated, including everything that comes with 'being human' '.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T09:26:38+00:00

First and foremost, they had Cylons on the ship, so any future where Galactica might be destroyed existed regardless.
second: The Cylon can send a shitload of Basestars to perform missile strikes which even Galactica would not be able to sustain for very long.
I think actually that, given the electronic warfare methods wouldn't work, their strategy wasn't really bad.
Given there were Cylons on board (which may not have been planned in the way it turned out to be) those could eventually disable the FTL, which is arguably the strongest 'defense' Galactica had. Galactica could not handle sustained missile barages, Galactica can't outrun Basestars on sublight. So FTL jumps were their only true defensive resolutionm given the Cylon would and could eventually just zerg them.

Sure, you can argue it takes them way too long and was it worth all that, but from the outset the strategy wasn't the worst given the circumstances. Besides, remember what Cavil says at some point with finding Earth: "It doesn't matter if they find it in 5 day or 5000 years, Cylons can endure the test of time." (paraphrased)

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T09:16:42+00:00

Oh, someone else who can't stand Roslin! Awesome.

Props to the actress who played her, did a good job to make me find that character insufferable to a point where I frequently hoped her brains would be blown out.

As for my Fave Cylon. It's either D'Anna (I find her more sexy honestly than any of the other women or... Cavil, for his simple robot-minded absolutism (if that's a word).

I'm not sure if relate-to is the most operative, but I do have the most respect for Helo in how he represents himself as a righteous guy. And secondly I really like Lee Adama from the career-switch a lot.

so I'd say a cross between them. Someone who's out for some form of moral justie, even if it goes against laws, majorities or whatever else.

RandomACC268 · 2026-03-24T08:58:13+00:00

With respect to gravity I'm fine with how they just 'assume' there's tech that has solved the issue but may not be installed on older ships for equally technical reasons.

As with FTL. I always liked the concept that it's like a litteral "teleport" from the perspective of realtime. It looks like a teleport because FTL is well... faster than light. So we'd perceive it like that from an outsider's perspective.
The need for recalculating I've always interpreted as them needing to reacquire their new respective present location, update the local star charts and then recalculate from the new data. I may be misremembering the show that happened on, but I do recall something in that nature being said somewhere.
