Go my force commander! Forward my Space Marines! For those who dont know, Orbital Bombardment is a thing that's used by the Force Commander in Dawn of War, which is a WH40K game, but it's still awesome.

It would be good, but eventually there's a possiblity of people sitting enough ships at the docks, and insta killing anyone who goes in with timed shots.

Yay, we're turning this into Star Wars! Use the Force, Lisaera!


If that happened, Celest would win :/

After all, everyone knows Mon Calamari cruisers trump everything short of a Deathstar. And Deathstar automatically loses to snubfighter.

Weren't the Mon Cal ships grown or something? That would make it more of a Serenwilde / Glomdoring thing.

Nah, they're constructed so far as I know. They're converted passenger ships, and kick arse.

And MC = fish = merian

Hate to say it, but Seren = ewok.

We're even run by a little furry guy.

The Ackleberry are the wookies then.

well if ships get to bomber.. we should have anti-missle rocket or something like that.. or we can have cannons installed in the city and those purpose is probably to fire at aethership from the sky or something like that. biggrin.gif

The mon cal build their ships. And it's only the earlier models that were luxury liners, which is why they're all purtty on the inside. the later ones, like Home One (better known as Admiral Ackbar's ship) were specifically designed for combat with possibly quaternary redundancy (4 different isolated systems that all do the same thing) for ungodly battle reliability.

Its the Yuuzhan Vong that grow their coralskippers and frigate analogues and other cool ships, which incidentally are reeeeaally nifty what with their biological plasma cannons! laugh.gif and dovin basals! Yay manipulating gravity!


Yes, I'm a Star Wars nut. cool.gif


Actually, that brings up an interesting point: perhaps we could have specialty turrets and the like, some designed for ship-to-ship combat with enhanced tracking (aka more accurate), and others designed to blow the stuffing out of a fotified target. Or maybe we could add homing missiles that you have to buy for your ship. They'd have travel time, but be crazy accurate, but then again, this -is- Lusternia, the land where projectile weapons and gunpowder don't exist.... yet... or do they?


EDIT: I'm surprised that nobody brought up how badly a MonCal cruiser would get owned by a Super Star Destroyer, I mean, what with the SSD being 50 times as big and all.... ninja.gif

Oi! That was my first thought too. Impierial Guard in Lusternia? Badness formed in my head. But hey, we could exterminius Glomdoring! (virus bomb with a REALLY nasty virus, or nuke to um, heck for those of you who are not 40k nerd)


Oh, yeah, and what I think it was Narsrim said about Aetherspace... Moving between planes is bizzare enough, we don't need projectiles to do it too! (Plusm it;s a little TOO sci-fi)
