Article Predictions. Mostly General Discussion. But there's definately some Predictions scattered throughout.

That's really the ideal marketing campaign design, silent and unnoticed. /shakes head

I predict Star Wars Roleplaying Game articles will never get old.

FYI, the same thing happened to X-wing wave 14 - in the same magazine even. I suspect is it still considered a "leak" because the magazine isn't supposed to be out yet.

I wonder if the next big announcement we get will be CW ships? I feel its time.

Whose time do you feel? And what does it feel like?

Legion is releasing things so quickly I have no idea if the chewie announcement is new or if it's already been revealed.

It’s old news, well known, but almost ready for release, perhaps this or next week.

I heard some intel about a new legion core. Republic vs separatist

I am working on a Armada "Field Manual" thing... sorta like FM 7-8. For giggles, and to pad my portfolio with a nicely formatted item with graphics.

Anyone know if you can make fancy ship range/distance overlays on Vassel or something? I need them for said graphics.

Haha! OMG! Someone help the man!! PLEASE!

This is a great initiative! I can see it coming in handy for newcomers and folks such as myself...who have bought in big time for BOTH factions but have only played a total of...2 games. One of which being the Learn to Play.

😀😀😀

It's been a while since I've noticed a thread get locked on here, logged in today to 2 threads locked. Lol what happened?

Last Jedi arguments mostly.

Today I learned that Luke and Leia were 19 at the time of ANH, and Han was 29.

Today I learned that to become an officer in the Alliance to Restore the Republic you only need to be the adoptive daughter of a senator, be a senator yourself, or own a laser sword.

Today I realized that I've done nothing with my life, and my military career will never live up to Luke, Leia, or Alexander the Great.

and they will never let you fly an X-Wing I mean F-15 just because an old friend of yours vouched for you.

If the world is about to be destroyed by a Super Weapon, they will let any pilot fly, if it means one more fighter in the sky. This was a sub-plot in Independence Day.

To be fair, Leia was using her Senatorial status to move supplies and Intel for the Rebellion, and she was the adopted daughter of one of the founders. Nepotism is still a thing in Star Wars, ask Hux.

Luke became an officer because he was one of 7 Starfighter pilots to survive the attack on the Death Star, and the one that got the kill shot.

Apparently I'm feeling a bit argumentative tonight. Don't mind me.

Well, you can blame Gallius Rax for Armitage.

Although honestly, I'm really most interested in what happened to Sloane.

I can’t believe Luke could fly a military grade craft without killing himself, let alone was allowed to.

IIRC, the X-wing was specifically designed with the ability to quickly train new pilots in mind. We’re also not perfectly clear on how much R2 was helping out. Combine that with the fact Luke was experienced with the T-14, another Incom craft, and the scenario becomes somewhat less ridiculous.

Wasnt he also trying to go to the local imperial accademy with his buddies? Pretty sure that was a plot point that was sorta overlooked. If he was trying to go to be a pilot he likely had to preform apptitude tests beforehand, and they would have cleared it then.

Yeah, Luke mentions he bullseye womp rats with a T-14. A training craft that is used to train pilots.

So not like he has zero ability especially with the force by his side.

It's much more believable than a small kid who jumps in a fighter with no idea how to fly it but uses spinning as a neat trick.

I mean, in the defense in that idea, pod racing certainly isnt childs play either. We are talking about a kid who basically piloted a Miata with jet engines strapped to it. And they are likely star fighter engines that are being used. So while Anakin didnt have star fighter experience, it was still some, craft experience. Obviously I cant use my car experience for a jet, but I'm sure I could figure out a M1A1 MBT.

Or some girl who's never flown anything in her life and is able to pilot an out-of-date Corellian freighter through the rotting corpse of a Star Destroyer while out maneuvering trained TIE fighter pilots... :huh:

That was the least believable of the three.

While I would normally agree, see this arguement:
