Alas, Poor Ackbar. I knew him well.

"I knew him HORATIO"! (Why is this so oft misquoted?!"

Next Week will be the spoiler.

2 B-Wings or not 2 B-wings?

That's the real question.

Ask Dras and he'll answer 6.

That was everything I wanted it to be.

Truly. I have no words, Maturin.

Awesome.

Thanks Dras. I knew my fancy schmancy liberal arts degree would be good for something someday (besides shouting at Jeopardy on TV) - since I don't really get to use all that learnin' at work.

By my head it is the Pelta.

By my heel I care not.

So fun fact: "wherefore" means "for what reason" (basically "why") and not "a fancy way to say where." It's a common misunderstanding, but the original line in Romeo in Juliet is not about Juliet asking WHERE Romeo is but WHY Romeo is the way he is (which has her all obsessive about him).

Thank you! I was bidding my time before dropping into this thread to English major it up; so pleased to see somebody else had already taken care of business.

I'll see your Bard and raise you the Father of English literature:

Whan that Sato with his fyghters snub

the droghte 'tween waves hath perced to the hub,

and bathed every Glad in swich black dice

of which vertu engendred explosions thrice;

Whan Hera eek with her sweete rule

inspired hath in every holt and pool

the squadron lovers, and the yonge Jerjerrod

hath in the Ram used his escape pod,

And smale base ships maken dice change,

through means usual or strange,

(so priketh hem the Force in hir corages),

thanne longen folk to goon pilgrimages....

...to their FLGS.

Well, you just won for the day.

"You've undone our meta!"

"Villain! I hath DONE thy meta."

Cry woe, destruction, ruin, and decay. The worst are double hits, and double hits will have their day.

Is anyone else a little let down by Jerjerrod? Compared to Sato?

From what we know, I really like these. I wish they were bigger, but gunships to help the Empire is always a good thing. Demo, Raiders, and fighters have been in the spotlight for long enough. Let's have a little shine on capable ships, for once?

Interestingly enough, the Danish word for 'why' is 'hvorfor', and directly translated to English is 'wherefore'.

Not too surprising I suppose given that the bones of English are Germanic, with a sweet honey glazing of French for our fanciest terms and then a hodge-podge of random garbage we stole from other cultures without any consideration as to keeping phonetic pronunciations consistent.

I love each and every one of you jerks.

Woo! I've been upgraded to "Jerk"..!

Banner day!

What a piece of work is a Yavaris

How noble in upgrades, how infinite in utility!

In form and moving how stilted and limited!

In action how like a squadron command,

In bomber management how like a god!

Et Tu Skilled First Officer.

Erggggh..... Thud.

Also agree, wherefore = why

Twas a fortnight before the Christ Mass

and all through the house

fans were checking the status

of the delivery scow

The Arquitens of yore

for which commanders were yearning

Was nought to be seen

Despite late lamps burning

then on the forums

t'was great discomfiture!

"In stores now"

some one screen grabbed a picture!

Alas, said the market

it's status unchanged

Cool stuff also was out

nerd outrage reigned!

We gathered our torches

and our implements too

to vanquish the monster

that had baited us so.

Then what to our watching eyes should appear?

The ship that had seemed to have taken a year!

with a crash of the ramp and a stampede of nerds

I clambered aboard, avoiding the herd!

Now I held in my hand

what could scare be believed

was the Artiquens cruiser

at last T'was recieved!

what bliss and Joy

never man knew

'till it set on the table

blazing "Pew Pew"

Mery Christmas my fellow nerds - feel free to polish it up a bit if you wish

Almost.....it's Middle English.
