Do we keep track of numbers or is just a free-for-all within the 'major battle theme' ? @Phoenix

It's pretty liberal, but be reasonable. I'm planning to track the number of troops I have with me right now, but depending on where you are in the battle that may not be overly feasible

Hmm. In this interest check there seems to be a number of people declaring for both sides, but in the actual thread, there appear to be more FWA and Jedi than sith characters by a pretty big margin. Guess I'll have to come in on the sith side. ;)

Is it safe to assume that most of the NPC grunt fighters are generic-model X-wings and TIE fighters? @Phoenix

I imagine there are a variety of fighters from the tech boards out there. Neither side has a fully standardized tech set up yet. But yes, I imagine you would find both of those ships out there in decent numbers. But yeah, most of them won't have the most hight end fighters on the market, but more of a generic fighter for the most part

And are we allowed to use basic faction assets? Like how before a low-rep character could command up to 2 squadrons of NPC fighters?

Yeah, this is about having fun more than the nitty gritty details or who can use what. Don't be unreasonable and you'll be fine

Hoping to finish this battle up in the next week or so since things are starting to slow down in it. With that in mind, I think we should start doing 48 hour posting windows so that we can close it out and people can make their exiting posts.

As for the outcome of the battle, with the Star Destroyer pretty badly damaged (bridge destroyed, ion cannons out, among other things) it seems reasonable for its systems to fail/crash into the planet. Any PCs aboard are, of course, welcome to survive as I don't imagine it will be lethal to everyone on board by any means.

Are these suggestions reasonable to everyone? Does anyone object?

I know this isn't everyone who was in the thread, but I think it's most everyone who's still active as of the last week or two: @Topher @Minuteman75 @Arclight @DarkSaber @RedneckLoves @Mr. Teatime @Catbert @Reyn @Phantom @Versok

I'm comfortable with the thread ending soon, however @Catbert and I are still sort of waiting on @Mr. Teatime and @Versok to post their replies. I'm not really sure how to continue a duel without one side. If they don't respond soon I suppose we can just say our fight was interrupted by the ship going down and flee.

Guess as far as the ground skirmish goes, I guess once the Sith forces see the SD go down they'll just retreat. If that's cool with everyone of course.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in this! I had a lot of fun and I hope everyone else did as well. If anyone has any suggestions for how things could be improved or made smoother, please let me know!
