SWA: Out of Character

[SWSF Eidolon]

Entirely possible I won't get to post at all tomorrow should my turn come around at Dathomir.  I gotta cook 30lbs of chicken, brats and burgers and own the croquet field.

I will get it done without a doubt sometime Thursday!

Hoppus, did you mean to exit in X-2 with Eidolon's First Order fleet instead of X-4? Gutsy move by the NR, man. Respect.

[SWSF Hoppus]

No I hadn't read in detail all posts yet. I changed it

Also thank you hale for all the help. Finally getting some things moving and gonna try to piece together a faction thread over the next few days.

[SWSF Hale]

We're going to have a game or two on this forum now dammit!

One day at a time. One post at a time.

Can capital ships make tactical preparations when there is no combat going on? My question is related to all the ships about to exit hyperspace in our command systems.

[SWSF Hale]

If no combat, then no tactical preparations.

[EmperorSeverus]

Thank you.

[EmperorSeverus]

Hoppus, if you're going to fire on my VSD's, would you mind posting a home world?

[SWSF Hale]

I believe the kids say "shots fired."

[SWSF Hoppus]

Sorry -shrug- you were the only one in range

[SWSF Hoppus]

also thank you hale, that rewrite cleared up a lot of things for me. appreciate you taking the time to do it.

[EmperorSeverus]

Hale, can I get a ruling on whether the VSD's I have sitting at Dagobah can enter hyperspace and join the fight at Dathomir?

Hale, can I get a ruling on whether the VSD's I have sitting at Dagobah can enter hyperspace and join the fight at Dathomir?

I would think not. Dathomir is a sandbox warmup with units that dont count? But I may be wrong.

[SWSF Eidolon]

  I agree with the ruling as it relates to my initial understanding that all units used here would be hypothetical, i choose to go with my actual start fleet just for the sake of stretching them out, my question is thus though..

  Given that we are treating the Dathomir campaign as a hypothetical in terms of units existing there and losses there and then further considering the rewards of it..


  Does it make sense for the reward of units that carry over in to the game?  I.E. if the units we lose at Dath are 'Fake', how can we gain 'Real' ones?

  The idea in story of losses one of us has suffered at the hands of another certainly carries over in to what we do moving forward.  So it's sort of muddied I think only in the idea of what a player losses, what is leftover, what a player earns to keep in campaign, and all of that then carrying over in to the "real"..



  ..to be fair I'm 3 pints of porter deep so feel free to discount my over analyzing tendancies..

Suppose for sake of argument that the units at Dathomir are very much real. In fact, my opening storyline takes that approach -- those twin VECs I'm using are considered part of Tempest Squadron, but beyond the scope of the units I've declared for my initial startup. The idea is that our factions are always bigger than what we're actually working with in any given post. So, in the grand scheme of things, Dathomir is a side show.

Given that there is
1. No "real world" losses incurred during this battle, and
2. There are "real world" gains you'll accrue at the end...

I think the overall situation is more than fair.

NOW, this isn't to say future Campaigns won't be open to outside involvement (in fact I'm counting on it), it's just Nightfall is set up specifically to give everyone a little push out the door.
