DK_Viceroy Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Thena again though maybe trips could take longer because of obstacles like planets and asteroid fields and also they would have to get across the Correlian Trade Spine And The Rimma Trade Routes both HEAVILY patrolled by the empire. I could also imagine that there would be heavy patrols because the Direct Route passed close to hoth about Genosis to Tatooine Distance from the Direct route so they'd have to detour round that while avoiding the Senez Juvex sectors while not straying too close to Nklon which would leave a narrow gap to get through without having to go coreward first. Especially since that going any further coreward would see them straying close to the Fondor Shipyards as well as having to avoid the Sluis Van shipyards near Sullust which would both be HEAVILY guarded by the empire. Only Tie Fighhters And Droid Starfighters needed to refuel the rest carried ONBOARD reactors and only really needed to stop to resupply and refresh the pilot.

Admiral Vostok Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 Viceroy: The Falcon didn't enter hyperspace to travel the distance - it was broken, remember? - so the hyperspace travel times don't mean much. As for the official/canon thing: you still seem a little confused. Don't take this as an insult, I'm only trying to help you understand. It's fine that you enjoy EU, I don't have a problem with that. But you must understand that ALL EU is official. Stories about Star Wars that are not official are called FAN FICTION, or fanfic for short. Those fact files you refer to tell facts about EU, not necessarily facts about canon. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I Put those times on as a ROUGH guide so we may be able to work out how long it tokk the Falcon by the way had a Class 2 Hyperdrive i'm not sure what speeds that would do. I have stated my classification for all things star wars elsewhere and will hold true to that if you don't mind. There is no sign anywhere saying that you can;t refer to official sources.

saberhagen Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Please will you all stop going on about "facts". There are absolutely no facts in anything Star Wars because it's all fiction. It's not even science fiction in the true sense of the term. All the scientific basis for the technology in Star Wars is vague, implausible and even contradictory. I think a lot of the pseudo scientific terms in the films were just thrown in because they sounded cool and created the right atmosphere, without much thought as to what they actually meant.

Admiral Vostok Posted September 6, 2003 Author Share Posted September 6, 2003 Viceroy, where are you getting the "facts" that the Falcon has a Class 2 hyperdrive? I've got the Behind the Magic CD-Rom, which says it has Class 0.5. I take this to be more correct, since it fits with Han's comment "She'll make point 5 past light speed." I guess this just goes to prove my point that even "Official" things can be contradictory - Behind the Magic is also "Official". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonedjedi Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 1) I heard one of you mention fuel I'm not sure if it should added why not just keep 10 fighters/ships in a hanger and they will repair/refuel/reload rockets. 2) I think bombers need to be gone no offence but a rocket upgrade on fighters would be great. Considering they are not needed in the clone war the fighters only received ground fire from troops mostly troops. And they had some laser mount thing on a cliff firing at them while driving passed if u remember. 3) Arguing about the engines of ships is that important considering u don't travel from 1 planet to another to attack your opponent. 4) Air should be alot more effective and should not stop in battle keep those engines going. But make them alot more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK_Viceroy Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I beleive you are mistaken Vostok . 5 means it's cruising speed it means the speed it is going at not the hyperdive it has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Yes very plausible Viceroy, a non-hyperspace speed that goes faster then light speed. WTF? How can you maneuver that thing in a battle going faster then light speed? (light speed being impossible since if you went that fast you would turn into pure energy).

Admiral Vostok Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Yeah Viceroy, what Luke's Dad said. But the point that you seem to have missed is that two sources (mine and yours), both of which are "Official", have contradicting information. This goes to prove that what is "Official" is not necessarily "correct". As such it is inadmissible in arguments concerning the workings of the Star Wars Universe.
