Except, the card is wrong.

It's not 8 kilometers long, it's more like 17.

It's not a "Super" class Star Destroyer, it's a Executer class command ship.

Get it right!

Finally! I posted!

A LOT of typing. I tried to post it all in one post, but it said I exceeded the maximum of 20000 characters. I ended up having about 25000 characters in the post I've been writing for a week now.

So I had to split it up into two posts.



Lonestar, I made my reply to Pym.



Guys, again, post any feedback.

They used to sell them at games stores and some book stores. Decipher no longer makes the game, so I think they're out of print. But I don't think they've left the planet, ie. there should be some still floating around somewhere.

By the way, I like the new post. Can you imagine the look on the human admirals' faces when they see the Hercules?

quote: Originally posted by Frankychan Friggin awesome I didn't know that anyone still remembered this game besides me. My Imperials weren't always character heavy. I figured out that using swarms of stormies led by a squadleader and armed with guns can take out Leia, Han, and the rest of the Rebel scum. Even TIE's using that "Tallon Roll" and "Dark Maneuver" combo can take out the Rebel ships (Red1, etc). I think Motti is an underrated card. Just have him on the Devastator with a whole bunch of TIE escorts and the Rebels go down really fast. Cool that this is the same game!

Motti with Lone Pilot (adds one battle destiny for any pilot defending alone, but adds two battle destiny for Motti defending alone) really sends the Rebel scum diving for cover.

I used to find the Rebels had good characters (high ability ratings and whatnot) but that the Imperials tended to have better weapons and ships.

What I used to do was seize some area of my choice (often the Mos Eisley Cantina ) and defend it with laser projectors and characters, and project power with an Observation Holocam. Then the Devastator and its entourage rule space!

Y'know, talking about the game makes me eager to play again!

Thanks, Prez.

The Titans would be the University'[s equalivent to Imperial Super Star Destroyers for the next few decades.


BTW, the Goa'ulds are now finished for good with the "nuking" of Ptah's homeworld. But its no Sab Abar. :P

Lonestar-from what I read, the Executor was the name of the ship, but the star destroyer was of the "super" class.

Although you are right on the length of the vessel. But there seems to be discrepancies throughout the Star Wars database on the actual length.

Crimson-Yah, I know what you mean. I used to have Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader aboard the Executor, blowing Rebels off the planet. The attrition rate was unbelievable when I got the cards right. My friends would have to get rid of 10-20 cards if I was lucky. Dammit, I wanna play!

You guys are making me want that game so bad.

Is it possible to scan the cards so I can print them out? Just wondering if thats possible, so I could give it a try. Hell, if its possible, we could play a game via PM's or something.

Another good post, Lonestar. In fact, it was one of your better posts with more detail and characterization.

I'll post the response to the arrival of Pym in Earth. Afterwards, you can post Pym's arrival in the city itself and the proceedings.

Afterwards, I could post the Academician shaking Pym's hand and putting his own signature on the treaty paper itself.

How's that?

Some people sell the Decipher cards on eBay. The prices are pretty good, generally. TrollandToad.com has a few cards, but nowhere near a full set.

If there's a specialized games store within driving distance of you, they might have some still around. I don't think they stopped making it that long ago.

You have an excuse for not posting! I'm on vacation - well, at least until Monday.

What sort of job are you applying for?

State job. Mostly clerical though. But over here, once you get in you can move laterally. Unfortunately, since my family's name is known fairly well in the area where I want to work, I stick out like a sore thumb. I plan on going into the Department of Public Safety where I can hopefully get a job in Administration in Corrections.

I'm sure you have a smackload of stuff to do as well, Crimson. You should enjoy your vacation, not stress out about it.

But from my history in BAC, me slacking shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

Yer right. I just cruise the OT and reply to a few. Since my views are...erm...."worker-friendly" I have some others that see things like I do. But it's fun to participate in those threads every now and then.

As for the job...well....I wanna see how far I can get without any help. I figure I'll go as far as I can without any help and that'll show just how far I can push myself. But if I really need help, I'll see if I can pull some strings.
