I loved SWG. I really miss my Y-wing.

Private server... ha! ... talk about playing solo... which I do often enough, but it was still fun to do a cantina run when there were actual people that wanted to be there and show off... and I don't mean just the dancers. I just always assumed the dancers were guys looking at what they could do with costumes and watched the lightshows the guys in the band brought... and the occasional rare jedi that ran in and started getting shot up.

It was the combination of the possibilities of what you could do, and the vast community and the stupid places you would have to go to get one item you had to have.

Not like private for you but private because they can only hold so many players. It's not a solo server.

I've played on private EQ servers... I understand the distinction. I would still expect it is mostly going to be a solo experience... because they never have much population unless you know someone that is invested in keeping the server up and running and where their core group hangs out and what times.

Can you post a picture?

The problem I have with the Decimator is the name. You're not going to win anything if all you do is decimate your opponents.Assuming you were actually doing damage to your opponent and not yourself.

Now if it guaranteed that I would decimate my opponents list once per round that would work, but you would still have to bring something else to finish them off.

Apparently decimate has moved on from 'one in ten destroyed' to simply mean devastate.

Much like literally doesn't really mean literally any more. Or rather, there are now other accepted meanings for both words, due to their constant misuse.

I know, it makes me sad too.

To be fair language evolves like that, for example a certain word that is 3 letters long, ends in G and begins in F used to be a slur against homosexuals, also another word for cigarette. Now it's just used as a standard insulting term for anyone.

Decimation was a specific punishment in the Roman army. A group of ten had to kill one of their number, randomly chosen. So Decimator is a bit like Punisher, which makes sense for the Empire.

And let's be glad we didn't end up with "Skykomish".

That is the reason I said the bold in the following:

Well, they are fighting rebels... rebels who are citizens of the Empire... so in a sense....

The Empire doesn't appear to be much worried by outside threats - like the Hutts - and chiefly concerned about internal threats. So Decimator isn't a horrible name. Not like, say, the TIE Defender (heavily armed, highly maneuverable, fitted with a hyperdrive... what is it supposed to be defending?) or the TIE Frank Castle (unless it's designed to be used chiefly in retaliatory attacks, which given the slippery nature of the rebels would probably mean civilian population centers).

That, and as I said before, I enjoyed the game the most after the Combat Upgrade. Before then only melee classes were viable, which made, like, zero sense at all when you're talking about non-jedi.

Then you never met good riflemen, pistoleers, and what ever the carbine class was. BHs with max pistoleer were rather scary with scatter pistols (Even if they looked like hair dryers).

I do miss my rifleman/combat medic/ace pilot though.... Good times.

While the original meaning of the word decimate comes from roman punishment removing 1/10 the word itself evolved being synonymous with a terrible damaging punishment. So To decimate means to wreck your **** in modern parlance.

It's like Annihilate. You don't necessarily need to use antimatter.

Why does this ship have so many crew? I count 18 beds, 8 chairs in the mess hall, and 0 bathrooms.

[ picture omitted ]

Hmmmmm...

Toilets are in the quarters themselves if you look closely.

especially observable in captains quarters.

It looks like they're off to the side from the main crews quarters and in between the cabins of the officer's quarters.

Why does this ship need a port and starboard weapons control AND a missile control?

Depends on the missile, if they are manual guidance that'd do it, with lasers being rapid fire/aimed separately.

Hypothetically of course.

assuming the 3 big dots are missiles, manual loading/assisted loading could be a factor.

Bigger question: supplies, where is the cargo deck, is all the food in the mess deck right next to the hull? Is this a short range ship?
