[quote who="DarthCaedusMorgan" reply="8" id="1969213"] Quoting Samurye, reply 7 Dosent gravity actually pull you out of hyperspace? P.S. I support the altenate universe theory. Samurye. Well not realy because celestial bodies of a certain mass or greater are preprogramed into the navicomputer to pull you out if you get to close. [/quote] yea. pretty much, any celestial body (i.e. gravity well) distorts th
basically, what happened in the star wars universe is that hyperdrives were reverse-engineered from an ancient, force-using civilization. so yes, it is not really understood, and we should draw our own conclusions however, it cannot be mere ftl travel. no halfway decent scifi source would so blatantly violate the laws of physics (see: Einstein, Albert, and speed of light). again, i prefer the alternate dimension theory (which is very closely related to 'alternate mode of physical exis
very articulate answer there, witchfire
you have to keep in mind, the definition of a battlecruiser is a ship with the firepower of a battleship, and the maneuverability of a cruiser. the only way to achieve this is to lower the amount of armor on the ship. therefore, were we to add a battlecruiser class, they would be extremely powerful, but would have low armor and hull points.
on the first point, he meant planet health. on the second, im really not sure. it may be exactly as you said, or maybe he just meant near it, in a good position to attack
[quote who="SSAF" reply="17" id="1966152"] And also, Katana Fleet didn't stay in hyperspace. Every time it's mentioned it's said to be 'constantly jumping around', and when Thrawn finally finds it, the Katana Fleet isn't in hyperspace, it's drifting out in the middle of space. [/quote] as a matter of fact, the crew of the katana fleet was infected with a hive virus, and that caused them to make random jumps through hyperspace.
ok now it makes sense. thanks
as a matter of fact, i just noticed after i sent in the new reply im slightly confused on the disposition of forces. where exactly is anubis station in relation to naeve? also, surprisingly, i vote for encyclopedia first
sorry, black hat guy
alternately, you could do what the black at guy did: http://xkcd.com/493/ xkcd is awesome!

the TEC is not having their ass handed to them. they won this battle. and about those care bears... http://xkcd.com/146/
that was brilliant i do, however, have a question. does tennyson's poem apply to the advent, tec, or both?
i apologize, witchcraft
hey give the guy a break its only been a week and a half
im slightly confused - which capital ship (for the advent) is which? i cant tell
how come this one doesnt have a title?
whatever ends this war won't be TEC, Advent, or Vasari. It won't even be human. [/quote] i thought you were referring to the mystery fourth race that has been chasing the vasari now that you explained it, though, you are completely right. war does terrible things to those involved
