Hyperspace Communications

Post by Tychu »

I have a question for every body, mainly i needed a new topic but her goes, without bantering on EU authors not knowing what their writing can any one give suggestions on why in certain books (Black Fleet Crisis) they said that the Falcon and a few of the NR capital ships have instaled hypercom transmitters that can talk to ships in hyperspace from ships in hyperspace and while in other books (most and NJO) (Reunion) they say theres no way to communicate through hyperspace.

And can anyone tell me how i can get the West End Games works of the Otherspace series

Because the EU authors don't properly check for internal consistancy.

Probably soem models have the ability, and others don't. As far as I can remember, DE is the only time hyperspace communications have been shown though.

It seems to me Holonet and Hyperwave communications work while either sender or reciever is in hyperspace.

Another example is Jix sending Lord Vader information from Jabba the Hutt's Holonet transponder to Vader aboard the Executor in hyperspace.

Blackfllet Crisis was a pile of crap and in Reunion it just said that ships can't comunicat in hyperspace. I think it was in Reunion, that or the end of Refugee.
