There was somebody's avatar with this question... I told my friend about it, and here's his reaction:

[05.01: 14:49:17] Mdiotic Ioron: hehe... from somebody's avatar
[05.01: 14:49:29] Friend: ?
[05.01: 14:49:33] Mdiotic Ioron: "Thrawn with A-wing vs. Daala with SSD. FIGHT!"
[05.01: 14:49:47] Friend: thrawn wins
[05.01: 14:49:52] Mdiotic Ioron: lmfao
[05.01: 14:50:00] Friend: he's smarter
[05.01: 14:50:00] Mdiotic Ioron: actually, thats the point
[05.01: 14:50:04] Friend: he'd pretend to die
[05.01: 14:50:12] Mdiotic Ioron: he's making fun of people who make thrawn seem godlike
[05.01: 14:50:16] Mdiotic Ioron: no good
[05.01: 14:50:20] Friend: but would strike at daala from where she expects them least
[05.01: 14:50:22] Mdiotic Ioron: SSD blasts it
[05.01: 14:50:22] Friend:
[05.01: 14:50:26] Mdiotic Ioron: its an A-wing
[05.01: 14:50:31] Friend: it's thrawn

So, who here thinks that Thrawn will win?

That to much for Thrawn, and any way, when has Thrawn shone himself to be a pilot, much less one of calibure like Wedge.

Darth Yoshi · Post by **Darth Yoshi** » 2003-01-05 06:24pm

I'm sorry, but there's no way in Hell that Thrawn can win this. The A-wing has no way of damaging the SSD, and if even one shot hits the A-wing, Thrawn's dead. Plus, the SSD has hundreds of fighters.

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2003-01-05 06:51pm

300+ Fighters, 200+ Weapons that are one shot one kill on A-wing? A ship over 5KM's long which will take nearly a week for the A-wing to burn through?

I don't know, I might even call this one a fair fight for Thrawn (j/k)

Thrawn gets stomped and stomped hard

Nah, Daala would order the shield to be lowered for some idiotic reason and then she would order all guns to fire randomly all over the place again for some idiotic reason, then Thrawn would just blast the bridge with all the conc missiles he has and some laser fire

While any half way competent captian would fry Thrawn, I think he just might have a chance. Sad, isn't it?

Enforcer Talen · Post by **Enforcer Talen** » 2003-01-05 09:52pm

all daala has to do is say open fire. the gunners, good trained imperials that they are, take thrawn down.

assuming, of course, he doesnt pull rank. . .

jaeger115 · Post by **jaeger115** » 2003-01-05 10:04pm

This thread is moronic. It defies common sense to even think about whether an single a-wing will beat a SSD, even if we assume Thrawn suddenly acquired elite piloting skills.

Can someone close this thread? Please?

Thrawn is in a a-wing, he opens a channel to the SSD asking permision to board. Daala refuses, the crew mutiny and kill her. Victory Thrawn. (biggest cop-out of all time?

)

LordChaos · Post by **LordChaos** » 2003-01-05 10:32pm

excuse me, but since when did thrawn become a pilot?

Now, "thrawn in command of a A-wing sqaudren vs Daala in command of a SSD" I could see. It would be a test of their command capabilities (admitedly with one side having an insanedly huge advantage in material resources...). But by stating "thrawn in an a-wing", you are making it no longer a test of his tactical, strategic, or leadership abilities, but instead a test of his piloting skills (you could be Rommel, Stonewall Jackson, Grant, Patten, Alexander the Great, and Hannibal rolled into one and still be a piss-poor pilot who can barely manage "taxi into launch possition" 1/3 of the time...). And, as far was we know, Thrawn has the piloting skills of a lump of coal.

Thrawn gets smoked. Duh.

IRG CommandoJoe · Post by **IRG CommandoJoe** » 2003-01-05 11:03pm

Thrawn loses. Maybe a more appropriate poll would be Thrawn's ISD vs Daala's SSD. But that's still stretching it.

Actually I think that might be worse! It least you can dodge lasers in an A-Wing (not that I'm saying anyone could dodge in acsess of 1k weapon emplacments).

While an ISD would do more damage, it wouldn't even have the miniscule chance that an A-Wing had. It would be a raw slug fest, and the one with the more guns wins.

Thrawn leads SSD into asteroid field and SSD loses

To fight a strightforward fight would be stupid anyway, and Thrawn would just run away, leading to a draw.

Darth Fanboy · Post by **Darth Fanboy** » 2003-01-06 05:46am

Maybe if the Pilot was Baron Fel and Thrawn was relaying instructions, I don't think Thrawn is a fighter pilot.

Yes he is, and he's good enought to rate an Interceptor.

Where did you get this info?

IIRC, and I'm not certain, it's from the Rogue Squadron comic series. I am certain about his being a pilot, however. I remember a picture of him flying an Interceptor, I just don't remember the source.

I'd say the novels, because the only time Thrawn appears in the RS comic series is in a flashback of Baron Fel's where he's discussing his past.

No mention of Thrawn being a pilot though.

Well, then, it's a different one, becuase I KNOW I've seen a pic of his piloting. I can't fucking remember WHERE!

Even Daala would have to win that one. She must be the most unlucky fecker in the history of everything.

Hi.

I don't really believe that the SSD would lose. SSD, not Daala.
