Damn, and here i was, thinking she'd gotten past her simping for warriorThey gave Karen Traviss complete freedom to write whatever she wanted!
I'd just sell the corsairs: you don't know what kind of surprises might be in the software, the ships need repairs, they don't fit the logistics already in place, and you would need to train people to use them. Even if you can just get one additional Assassin it would be more useful than two pirate ships. Or you could buy a IR-3F-class light frigate and separate out the customs duties and the system defense fleet.
Ship Availability is always a big question on top of maintenance and part replacements when trying to get specific ships vs keeping scavenged ships. I could understand keeping a bird in hand over two in the bush scenario. Especially when he's on no ones priority list for new and fancy navy equipment
The world the governor is on now has two barren moons and the volcanic world has a barren moon of its own.
True but the IR-3F-class light frigate is actually an older ship so should be available.
Unless it's the high C-frac SuperMACs mounted on orbital stations, eh?
As a weapon, yes. As something they should make, no. Something like a MAC would be far too expensive for the system to maintain on its own while also being kind of useless for them. The Mac itself would be the most valuable thing in it so no one going to send a capital ship to get it but rather bum rush it with hundreds of small ships to overwhelm it in numbers.
I would say it depends on the class of ship that is being shot at as well. The Bigger Ships would definitely get hit, and depending on the caliber and if we're talking Halo Level MAC guns then I would say that sure it would be a kill. The smaller ships though would be tougher to hit and require equipment designed to mission kill them.
Did a quick check the 30km/s is the Ship based rounds. Super MACs go at 12,000 km/s while the ODPs reach about 4% the speed of Light. So yeah those things can hit and likely kill any ship they hit. Even then when it comes down to the effectiveness of slug throwers in Star Wars I always think that people have forgotten how dangerous they can be. Just because the bullet is stopped doesn't mean the force just stops. Especially if you are hit in the helmet, say good bye to your spine.
Well let's hope Las has a gentler policy for those native primitives on Minda 2 than most Imperials. The Empire and native primitives meeting generally ends badly for the primitives. Plus it gives the Rebels an excuse to move to start rabble rousing in the system by training the primitives to be insurgents.
They brought bloody speeder bikes to a Forest Moon, they deserved everything that happened
I would say that the Ewoks were unexpected, I mean in lore they have the strength of a Wookie while being that small, fucking terrifying.They brought bloody speeder bikes to a Forest Moon, they deserved everything that happened
If I had to guess most of the reason why they use Blasters now a days can be boiled down to convenience. It's just easier to maintain and fire a Blaster Cannon over hauling the ammo needed to make the Mass Drivers as deadly as they are. As for maneuverability I would say that again it depends on the size of the ships. Main Ships of the Line most certainly wouldn't be that maneuverable, but the smaller craft would.
The world the governor is on now has two barren moons and the volcanic world has a barren moon of its own.
The governor could at some point get one of the companies to design and build domed cities to place in the barren moons to be used primarily as mining or heavy manufacturing settlements.
It would allow the governor to fully make use of the planetary bodies within the solar system.
Ife is certainly ambitious to think she will be commanding an ISD of all ships when she barely just started commanding a far more advanced Arquitens-class Command Cruiser, especially since there was already a discussion earlier in this thread that the maintenance of an ISD is unsustainable for the Minda System's current economy and infrastructure, at least that is what I surmise.
I'm sure once the other projects made some progress that proper reallocation of resources will make progress on the rest faster and more efficiently. By the way, this is just a passing curiosity, but do we get to know what kind of train is being used for those tracks?
This weapon immediately made me think of the MAC cannons of the Halo Universe. The UNSC salutes the governor in a galaxy far, far away.
Somehow, through either family instinct or the Force, a shiver runs down Las's spine. On another note, the local rebel cell better not get caught, more for the sake of Las and Darna than the rebels themselves.
