Lol, a nice little debate for the boards. Not sure if there are others on Youtube, but Eckhart's Ladder is what I watch because he tries explaining out some battles and how they were won when it seems difficult to grasp how, such as the Star Hawk situation. Also, in regards to Kylo's lightsaber, I actually like the design and set-up in regards to the side vents. Not sure why they felt the need to address a cracked crystal (haven't really looked into the reasoning for it if there was any) but to me, its definitely better than the original cross guard. Weird looking forked lightsaber thing, lol |

I would have to agree with Luxeria on this. Keep in mind that objects (be they in space or on the ground) have their own gravitational fields. As such, the fact that the Destroyers fell was actually fairly realistic, considering (I) the Star Destroyers would be attracted to the pull of the shield ring and (II) they would also be attracted to the pull of Scarif itself. Not sure exactly, but it looked as though the battle was taking place in mid to high orbit, meaning that Scarif’s gravitational pull would have some effect on them. Perhaps the film did over exaggerate what sort of effect it would have, but let’s keep in perspective the fact that the laws of physics are repeatedly broken throughout Star Wars, and in more extreme ways (for example, that one scene in The Last Jedi where they opened a door directly to space and the ship didn’t immediately decompress) so I would say from a physics standpoint this scene is fairly excusable.
Also the reason the starhawk was banned wasn’t necessarily because it was physics defying, it was because it would have pretty much broken battles on the site.
Keep in mind I’m not a physicist, so everything I said here could be wrong, so don’t take me at face value.

I don’t mean to interfere, but the Starhalk was never banned for use from JvS. Just the idea of a tractor technology that could move a SSD from a far smaller ship.

Pretty much what Zion said. The ship was never banned itself, just the tractor technology itself.

But... why... if the engines are disabled... and here is no mass in space... why not?

It was soft banned mostly because it claims to be 10 times the strength of a Star Destroyer Tractor beam and call pull ships far larger than itself, which makes it potentially able to do that even if the engines are working. So to cut off the possible future issues it's just counted as a regular tractor beam for now.

Because the tractor beam itself was described as being excessively strong. So the tractor beam on said ship has been nerfed. To a traditional tractor beam.

Anzat back on track - Viox Savage I gave you a moment there at the end of my post to write whatever she would find upon attempting to connect with his unconscious mind as well as the probe to figure out any great injury. |

I typically don't involve myself with fleets, but if it is felt that Luxeria should be over her own fleet, I can do so. The real question comes down to, what would be a good build to use. With all these selections, it definitely got harder, lol.

Don't feel obligated to make a fleet if that's not your thing. I'm just keeping the entirety of the Blackguard updated by posting here. Keep everyone in the know as to what ship's we have available to us and all that. Keep those who like to play with fleets, aware.

I've honestly been debating it. I think I've made a total of three fleet variations Luxeria would use based on what the Blackguard would use, going from picking random ships that would work, to the Harrowers, to the three variations created from them. Still up in the air, but I'd most likely direct my attention to the Harrower designs more than most. But better to wait until all ships you're looking to be involved is fully locked in.

We are getting close to the end of the ship list though. Its really come down to a couple remaining. I was discussing with Viox about this earlier, and it is an agreement with your statement, Lux, but there are a lot of choices. Viox even overhauled his fleet, with these new ships, to have some 31 ships (most of which were the small Derriphan-class ships). And I am keeping in the same variations as you, Lux. I wanna keep with the Harrower designs and looks, but looking at what else we got.

So what ships are we waiting on, then? If anything, I can start looking through and try to figure something out. That being said, wonder if it would make sense IC wise to build Luxeria to that point, by giving her a small team to lead, moving up to a larger group during missions to finally being in charge of her own fleet. Then again, the fleet typically works on its own, only receive orders about the mission from the ones in charge and left to handle things alone.
