Hey Thanas, want one of us (Coyote, Shady, me) to run your OOB through the number cruncher? I ask because, my personal policy is going to be that, in mod matters pertaining to me, I'd recuse myself. Of course I don't think anyone is going to say you'd be unfair regarding your own OOB (I certainly wouldn't) but it's probably not a bad policy to have in general.

Plus, it's one less OOB for you to deal with.

So it will probably require some corrections as well. Right now I've somehow ended up between 2 and 3 hundred points over the maximum for my worlds, so I'm trying to trim off whatever I can.

Also, a little question regarding artillery: if I make divisions composed primarily of artillery, would those be equivalent to a typical heavy division, or what?

Also, if a planet in our control has a moon, does that come with the planet, or is it counted as a sepperate world?

Sure, count them as heavy, but be aware that when it comes to a fight you'll get a lot of problems, RP wise.

Depends on the moon, for example Nar Shadda counts as a seperate world, whereas the Bakuran moon does not.

I don't know, most factions don't use artillery much in Star Wars, but I feel like it should play a bigger role. Obviously it has its weaknesses, but I would certainly protect artillery with other units as much as possible.

Either way, I'll worry about that if I ever actually have to RP a ground battle.

Fingolfin_Noldor wrote:Well, during the Clone Wars, heavy artillery in the form of a giant turbolaser was quite well used.

On the other hand, that is probably the only Star Wars type artillery piece I will employ. I think deploying something like an Emperor Titan or a Warlord Titan to be really an overkill, never mind the hassle of having to modify a troop transport like the Star Galleon just to carry those monsters.

Well, that's actually a combination of factors, and they have their own anti-air defences.

Of course, the necessity to deploy such heavy artillery implies that the target to be cracked requires significant firepower and that the orbiting fleet is either busy or in a midst of a siege.

Thanas wrote:I think Artillery is a bit useless in Star Wars, except for the medium artillery we see in the movies, because if you have control of the space, you don't need that much artillery - just orbital bombardment.

Thanas wrote:Yeah, but so far no defence has been invented against a 200 GT blast.

Sure, but then you might consider whether it be worth using it in the first place - after all, if you have to employ such heavy artillery to take the target, chances are not a lot of it will be left standing anyway.
