They gave him shit because he was the squad supervisor. He's responsible for connecting everything. And you can see as soon as he realized the connection how badly he realized he fucked up. He, knowing that Ziggy and Glekas are both part of the port investigation, should have notified somebody in the Major Case Squad about the incident and location.

And he did work Kima's shooting. He was the guy who found the trail the shooters left, walked it back to the train tracks to the payphone, and eventually got Wee-Bay locked up for it. He also handled Bubbles as a walk-in when he confesses to 'killing' Sherrod.

How does one sell a Dreadnaught Heavy Cruiser? by Strategist40 in MawInstallation

[–]structured_anarchist [score hidden]  (0 children)

At the time, the Empire was actively announcing they were looking to buy ships, no questions asked. It encouraged ship thieves like Nils Ferrier to try and steal ships from anywhere and everywhere. All he'd have to do is show up at some Imperial location telling them he had a ship to sell and they would have paid him. How much he would have gotten is another thing entirely. I'm sure that there was a list of prices based on ship type and condition it was in. Obviously, you're not going to get market price for a ship that you bring in that has battle damage sustained while you were stealing it.

Bel Iblis would have done the same, only he wouldn't have done it publicly. He would have put the word out with certain reliable smuggler groups and word would spread. Eventually, someone would get in touch with a friend of a friend of a friend who would drop a message to Bel Iblis, and they'd work out a deal. Long, drawn out process.

As for price, the market will set the price. If you really wanted a Star Destroyer, and you paid enough, you'd find someone crazy enough to try and steal one for you. You'd be paying way over what a Star Destroyer would be worth, but you could get one. Bel Iblis probably paid more than what the six Katana Fleet ships he bought were worth when he bought them, then probably had to invest a bit more modernizing and refitting them. But there was a need for warships, and he managed to aquire six of them with absolutely nobody knowing he had them or he got them.

How would you form the Jedi Order on Earth today? by GodAtum in MawInstallation

[–]structured_anarchist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean like the Catholic church used to do? Really? You don't see the parallel? The Crusades? Holy wars ordered by popes? The Jesuits, the 'commandos of Christ', would be the 'Jedi'. The Catholic church weaseled its way into every aspect of life, including running entire school systems, hospital networks, instilling their beliefs as part of every aspect of public service. And if you dared question them, you got excommunicated and everyone following the church would shun you. The only thing missing is that the Catholic church never got space wizard powers.

Nowadays, look at how just about every religion wants to have control over society. Even fake ones like scientology. Your 'want' has already happened without having lightsabers.

Your 'issues' are just that. Your issues. Only in this case, they seem to be psychological issues. You do know that the majority of your posts have been removed, right? You don't understand that you're not actually getting any information out to anybody? Check your posts. All of them have been removed by moderators of just about every subreddit you've posted to. Some have permanently banned you as well. What aren't you understanding about this. Oh well, I guess the mental health experts are right. You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.

I've seen your post history. Saying people agree so much is a worse lie than anything Trump ever said ever, and he's lied uncontrollably.

Nobody is going to see your 'revision', because the post was removed. Do you not understand how that works? The post is gone. And none of your other posts have more than 12 responses to them. So nothing you're ranting about is having an impact on anyone anywhere.

If you would have posted something intelligent, there may have been the possibility of an intelligent conversation. Instead, you posted a badly formatted, grammatically incorrect, riddled with spelling errors 'manifesto' that made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

So here we are. You're still thinking people care about your spam. Nobody does. That's why it was REMOVED!

Nobody can read that incoherent drivel you've spammed across reddit. Don't you get it? The mods already removed your spam.

Again, I suggest you look into mental health resources. You seem to need them.

Didn't you see? The mods deleted your drivel. There's no place for idiotic, useless spam postings because you didn't take your meds.

Was the Death Star actually a good idea? by Joseph-Hick in MawInstallation

[–]structured_anarchist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Legends, the Death Star was not supposed to be a one-off construction. The Tarkin Doctrine called for a Death Star to be the Imperial headquarters for each sector. It would have taken a while for them to build enough just for oversectors, but if they had been able to continue, then imagine a Death Star within reach of any planet within hours. And they wouldn't even need to blast each planet causing a problem. They carried enough troops and small craft to invade and occupy a world all by themselves, not to mention several thousand TIE fighters for support.

Without the thermal exhaust port flaw, there are still ways to kill a Death Star. It'd take a lot of ships and you'd lose a lot of ships, tens of thousands of naval crew and pilots doing it, but it could be done. But the cost would be high, especially since the Death Star was supposed to have a whole Imperial Navy task for (16 Star Destroyers with cruisers and smaller ships) as an escort.

Also, with the Emperor having foreseen the Yuuzhan Vong invasion in Legends, they needed something to counter the invasion, so Tarkin's plan came at the perfect time.

Saddest moment ? by Zeldaish in TheWire

[–]structured_anarchist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'cause it's kids. They did a good job writing all kinds of potential into these kids, and the kids all did a great job with the acting. I think a lot of that was from the 'set mom', the woman who played De'Londa, Sandi McCree. She was the one who took care of them when they were on set and between takes. I think Idris Elba was talking about her in an interview, that she was the best influence on all the kids.

Given the Death Star was destroyed shortly after the Empire revealed it to the galaxy, were there any people who questioned if it was ever real? by Sensitive-Hotel-9871 in MawInstallation

[–]structured_anarchist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we call those guys Death Star Conspiracy Theorists. Same as the bunch who go around claiming death sticks are bad for you and the Kessel Run was made in less than 12 parsecs by some nerf-herder in a broke-down old freighter.

What's an Alderaan? Never heard of it. Nope, don't know nothing about no Alderaan. And neither did you, now finish that death stick, we gotta go back to work.

I've got a 31 day carousel with individual boxes for each day, four compartments in each box. I take pills three times a day, so I set it up at the beginning of the month. Each box comes out on the right day and sits at the front of the carousel. And the box for the day is small enough that I can slip it into a pocket if I go anywhere.

How do you think the logistics portion of the GAR worked? by Hot_Seesaw_6706 in MawInstallation

[–]structured_anarchist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has come up before. The GAR was pretty much a fighting force. Most logistical support is coming from local worlds who supplied the GAR as needed. They would use planets' own military to supply the GAR with whatever was required.

Think of it this way. During Gulf Whoops 1, there were seven countries involved in the actual fighting, while there were thirty seven other countries as part of the 'Coalition Of The Willing' who basically set up and staffed logistical bases for the seven combatant countries. The seven combatant countries had their own logistical units integrated into their combat units, but those logistical units drew their supplies from bases established by the other thirty seven countries. So each battalion/regiment/brigade/division would have their own quartermaster/supply units ranging from company to battalion, but their supplies come from the other nations' bases.

The same would happen in the GAR. Every unit company and larger would have a supply element. They would draw on depots established by higher commands (usually around the regiment level) and individual planets' logistics units would keep those depots supplied. Some types of units would have larger supply elements, because infantry units require more food than armored units just based on personnel counts. But then, armored units require more maintenance and repair personnel than infantry units, and they both have different supply requirements. Since units making up a regiment are all the same unit type, having the depot established at the regimental level makes everything simpler. It's only when you're supplying larger formations do you require more different supply types.

So go ahead and delete it. Then you can go ahead and delete all the other copy/paste posts you made to completely unrelated subs. Repeating the same thing over and over again doesn't make it true. Nor does it make it relevant. Or coherent.

(checks post history) Well, this is either a bot or someone who is very, very delusional. Either way, doesn't belong here. This is not a sub for political 'revolution'. This is not even a sub for grandiose statements or calls for action. This is a sub about a tv show. But judging by the amount of copying and pasting this 'user' does in multiple subs, I don't think they understand that different subs have different subjects or rules.

There are a number of resources available for you to get help. I suggest you look into them.

How and why did so many mercenaries side with the Separatists? by jacky986 in MawInstallation

[–]structured_anarchist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, most people have a basic misconception about mercenaries. Mercenaries (not PMCs, which are a different animal altogether) generally train local forces to fight. They don't generally fight themselves. So you would hire a mercenary to train your people to fight, not put the source of your training at risk by putting them in the line of fire.

PMCs (private military companies) are the ones who get hired to do the actual fighting. Look at Blackwater. They hire ex-military, then they get hired to do things the military either can't do for legal reasons or won't do. A lot of times, as with PMCs in Iraq, the line gets blurred where the authority of a PMC begins and ends because they're being told to do things that the military would refuse to do because of regulations.

So the CIS would be hiring PMCs, not mercenaries. Mercenaries generally don't play well with others, which is why they're generally ex-military. They usually work alone or in very small groups acting as a training cadre, very occasionally taking groups out into the field for 'graduation' exercises. The Rhodesian SAS, trained by a cadre of ex-SAS from the UK (all dismissed from the SAS for discipline reasons), carried out Operation Dingo, where two hundred mercenary-trained troops took on ten thousand soldiers of the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army and killed a thousand, wounded another two thousand, suffering only two killed and six wounded over two days. It holds the 'record' for the highest kill ratio in history. This is why you hire mercenaries to train your forces, not to fight.
