Totally new to this game: Questions so basic you'll lose your mind!

By Zozimusque Romanus, in X-Wing

Related: the maximum number of any given ship type in an Epic game is 8.

Last I checked it was twelve. Which makes sense, lets you field a bigger tie swarm than standard play without getting ridiculous. 24 Tie fighters would be ridiculous. Or did I miss a bit in the latest FAQ?

3. Can more than two people play?

I highly recommend a "Furball" variant for this.

Basically, 4-8 players get a single ship each at a mid-low point-cost (25-35, but make sure they match). Last one standing wins.

It's a heck of a lot of fun!

Look, I'm a roofer, and speaking as a roofer I can tell you that a roofer's personal politics come into play heavily when choosing a job. A roofer chooses his jobs with his heart, not his wallet.

To... much... CLERKS... :)

Can we all agree that it is NOT OKAY to refer to an organisation responsible for destroying millions if not billions of lives without valid provocation as "the good guys"?

This is exactly why we view the terrorists who murdered hundreds and thousands of innocent contract workers on the two Death Stars as the bad guys.

Luke Skywalker and Lando are the greatest and most prolific mass murderers in modern cinema.

Oh come on. Those contractors knew what they were signing up for when they took money from the Empire and agreed to build a weapon with the power to blow up planets. =) Both sides were terrorists. The only good guy was Darth Vader.

Agreed.

Cinemas first disabled hero.

Maybe.

Exactly.

Do we blame oil rig workers for global warming?

Do we send in drone strikes against folks who work as petrol attendants?

A mans gotta feed his family, Big Empire pay well. Their pension scheme and dental plans are excelent.

Think of the orphans!

And you should see palpacare in action, stub your toe and they have you straight into a bacta tank.

And dont speak out on the Empire or else you go to one of their camps to never be seen agian ;)

Leia lied and alderaan died.

They were simply liberated from their dictator....permanently. Hell, the way I see it we did them a favor....

Leia put her insurrectionist pals and personal ambitions ahead of her responsibilities to her own people and family.

If she hadn't have run off and joined a certain terrorist organization then the Empire would have had no cause to be anywhere near alderan.

The Empire were forced into a difficult choice, when trying to root out murderous terrorists who hide behind civilians, a certain amount of collateral damage is inevitable.

Poor Tarkin. I hear he thought about losing sleep over his choices.

This thread has gone off topic, but still raises questions so basic I'm losing my mind.

Well they are really nice you can get a wookie to work out the tension with a massage, the pool was designed by the Mon calamari, and each street corner has twi`leks performing exotic dances to the sound of jizz music.

Frankly it's far better treatment than rebel prisoners get, they make you dig your own grave then dismember you with a lightsaber.

I really hope jizz music is a thing.:)

Yes, it's better not to let people google that.

Hey I didn't call it that blame Lucas.

The word "jazz" seems to be etymologically linked to "jizz", even in our world. Rock n roll also has sexual overtones.

On another note, is the addition of the third 'faction' (scum) meant to imply that we can now have three-way battles? Or are you supposed to still stick to two players (or two teams)?

So you are saying America is evil and Isis are the plucky rebellion, got it.

You do realize people are joking about made up organizations in a made up space galaxy right?

It's an apt analogy.

No it really isn't, if you're comparing the Alliance to Restore the Republic to ISIS then you're either not very well clued in on world affairs or just a massive Imperial fanboy who takes things a wee bit seriously

Congratulations everybody.

You've managed to go way off topic in this thread without mentioning breakfast food.

Glad to see we are all improving.

It's precisely because we are all full to satisfaction having eaten much bacon that we were able to avoid its juicy temptations in this thread.

Jedis of the Bacon Order are we, and our pork enhanced lightsabers are both deadly and tasty.

In Iraq alone there have been an estimated 200,000 civilian deaths, that's a horrific number of deaths considering the towers attack killed around 3000, America has invaded Iraq under false pretenses then occupied it for a decade, you may not consider that wrong but there are plenty of people who do and they are not limited to the middle east.

The second Iraq war caused the creation of Isis much like the empire's dominance of the galaxy caused the rebellion to form.

One is a massively powerful force that spreads it's influence everywhere it can using force where needed, ones a small group trying to build a power base to fight them.

Now Isis is a nasty bunch of religious zealots mass murdering anyone that does not meet their insane standards but don't think America's a faultless paragon of virtue that's done no wrong.

Also ad hominems don't help your argument, just weaken it.

Is this really the time and place for this conversation?

My analogy was called into question so I explained the premise when challenged, if your not prepared to support a proposition you shouldn't advance it.

It wasn't me who necrod the thread.
