You got ray or particle shields, @Insalius?

It seems a bit weird to me that this is possible at all. Pulling in ships to crash to pieces against your particle shield in the midst of battle seems to me more likely a suicide act. IMHO it'd get through, since particle shields don't seem to be designed for such mass or velocity (since destroying the ship requires a very strong continuous pull) and you're not only damaging your own shields and possible hull, but also draining power away from multiple generators to use the tractor beam and the shields that cannot hold.

I know @Tsunami is too good a sport, so I'm not gonna start a discussion about it here and further cluster the thread. If you think it's a viable tactic and can back it up, please Discord PM me :D

Well one of the SD classes had 7 so it depends on which one he used.

There’s another pic where it’s located somewhere else too but won’t load

Not really something I'm going to drag more people into this thread to debate. I think as with most things created for purpose my presumption was a sound one, that shields would be down while pulling something into the hanger of a ship. Human error is a big factor on Earth where the mediocre technology is already hard enough to micromanage. It would only take one person to forget to take the shields down when pulling in a high value target or VIP to end up with them being killed.

Regardless - I'm not here to argue about small things. I shall change my post to suit you - However questions before I do:

1) Can I please have the specific ship spec you are using? I know its the Star Destroyer, however you are hitting me with Point Defence Lasers which leads me to assume that you are using "The Avenger Class" Seeing as that is the only battle cruiser that has Point Defence Lasers on it. Otherwise you'll be hitting me with tech you don't have.

2) Are we saying that the tractor beam generator is outside of the ship, as you have just stated? I don't care where it actually is located but The Avenger Class has (6) I'll need all locations for the 6.

3) You have (6) of these point defence laser cannons (Assuming you are indeed using the avenger class). Where are they situated on the ship? I am only coming in to one side of the ship, I would assume that means that I am only going to be dealing with (3) of those?

As soon as I get the above i'll work on changing my post. Cheers Bud

1. I checked with Arclight and the laser cannons listed on the Empyreal class Star Destroyer would serve as point defense. It's more of a description of their function, not a specific piece of tech, so I'm still using the Empyreal.

2. The schematic and write-up on the board doesn't specify where the tractor beams are, though the only docking bay is in the middle of the ship where the nose splits. I would assume there would be one or two on the bridge, one or two on top and on the bottom of the hull by the docking bay, and the rest would be towards the nose and on the body of the Destroyer.

3. As for the point defense lasers, since there are 12, I would assume the ship would be symmetrical so you'd be going against 6 of them if on one side of the ship. I'd guess a they'd be along the hull of the ship, two at the front, one at the back, and the rest towards the middle. Again, no schematic of where they are located in the writeup so it may come down to a tech mod needing to rule.

At this point, I think we should ask for a directed ruling on the ending of this thread.

The thread is extremely messy. It would probably better to end it now before more disagreements arise. This is only a minor thread and I don't see it ending without a ruling anyway. I am sure most of you would rather focus on the invasion of Korriban and the subsequent Coruscant thread.

 

[Tsunami]

Thanks for the reply. I spoke to Arclight also, and he said the same. I was under the impression that Point Defence Lasers automatically locked on and tracked the target, but now I know they are just regular old Laser cannons it makes sense.

As I have approached from the side, towards the ship, and you have not voided my approach so I am going to assume that my travel from the side has been accepted as I couldn't of possibly been travelling through the centre of this Star Destroyer. (I did not realise that the hanger was in the centre, as I was going off the picture rather than the description.)

For that reason, I can't see why I won't now be almost right upon the hanger, at the time the tractor beam is able to hit me and began to pulling me in towards you.

For this reason this is what I propose as changes to my post:

At the moment I am in position of the tractor beams, I am already in the central split of the ship that you have mentioned. I would say roughly around 200 meters away as putting myself any further away when travelling from the side would be unrealistic and pointless. The post will still state I pick up your actions on my sensors that you are going to be locking onto my ship with cannons and tractors.

At which point I will - Take out the shield generator for your hanger. (Not the entire ship)

I am now two hundred meters away from the hanger, with no shields and I am free to continue my post as I had before with me jettisoning myself via pilot ejection seat, towards your now unshielded hanger.

Thus sorting the only gripe stated about my post. I.e.

@Tsunami just a heads up, the shields on my docking bay wasn't down.

@Aberforth
You are entitled to Al-Ric's blood
Please clarify that that is what you want.
Alternatively an IC post to that effect.

Edit: * a draft IC post as you don't want to prejudice the decision re tractor beams etc.

 

[Aberforth]

@Ulysses That's not even a question at this point. Everyone inside the prison is dead. There is no way to avoid it. It is too late.

 

[Ulysses]

Only if you say so, which I reiterate you have every right to.

 

[Tsunami]

Only if you say so, which I reiterate you have every right to.

I'm pretty sure that was him saying so.

 

[Ulysses]

I agree
I just wanted to clarify

 

[Insalius]

I would also like to request a ruling, please. I know how many issues this has had and at this point I would like to just reach a resolution.

 

[Richie B.]

Guess I wouldn't mind a ruling. I am sorry for any confusion or frustration I might have caused. Hopefully next timeline I can make it up to each individual personal with a thread where you guys get to tell my character to shut up.

 

[GABA]

Ok, so here is the final verdict:

@Topher Ridge Barad survives.
@Valen Pelora Alexia survives.
@StratusGold Kyra has perished in the bombardment.
@Talon maara Kip has perished in the bombardment.
@Fantasy Liver Moku survives.
@Richie B. Danso is fine, since he was on the ship.
@Tsunami Omnia has been captured by the Sith.
@Ulysses Al-Ric Fen has perished in the bombardment.
@TheBrokenMadMan Mortimer has perished in the bombardment.
@Korvo Praedyth has perished in the bombardment.
@Melania Mei has perished in the bombardment.
@Aberforth Ra's al-Hague has perished in the bombardment.
@Insalius Kurtis is unharmed, though he probably should hire some body guards as I'm sure he's made a lot of enemies quickly.

If your character has perished, please archive them.

Thanks!

I've been captured! Who's up for a rescue thread!

@GABA the Hutt I am sorry I couldn't help you turn this into rocks falls everyone dies thread again. Will strive to do better next time.

I think if it was a rocks falls and everyone dies, that would mean you would be dead too o.o

 

[Richie B.]

@Lightspeed I mean I'm fine with that
