Wolfninjajedi Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Alright now I am sure some of you can remember my thread way back when, Rebel Scenario: Imperial Base Attack. Now am doing another one, however this time its space, rules are gonna be changed a little, and there will be a time limit on this one so don't forget guys to factor that in for this scenario but anyway lets begin. ========== Scenario: A small Rebel fleet, has entered a sector of space where the Empire is refueling and repairing two star destroyers. The two star destroyers have several TIE patrols guarding them, they are also guarding a convoy ship which has Imperial data on a weapon that could change the tide of the war in their favor. However as the Rebel fleet came in, the Empire picked up the location and called for backup getting a response that a Star Destroyer will arrive in the sector in a standard hour. ==== Objectives 1. Destroy the two Star Destroyers 2. Get the convoy and grab the plans 3. Escape before Empire backup arrives 4. Have 1 standard hour before Imperial backup arrives. ===== Rebel Fleet 1. Nebulon B Frigate(can only send out fighters, cannot aid the pilots in combat)- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/EF76_Nebulon-B_escort_frigate 2. 10 X-wings(4 of them in the hanger of the Frigate)- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/T-65_X-wing_starfighter 3. 4 A-wings- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/RZ-1_A-wing_interceptor 4. 6 Y-wings- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/BTL_Y-wing_starfighter =========== Imperial Fleet 1. 2 Star Destroyers(not operational, however the hangers can still send out some fighters.) 2. 26 TIE fighters(12 of them in one of the Destroyer Hangers)- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/ln_starfighter 3. 7 TIE interceptors- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/In_interceptor 4. 3 Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wings- http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Alpha-class_Xg-1_Star_Wing === So can the Rebel fleet do their objectives in time?

Aurbere Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think they could do it. They may have fewer forces, but those X-Wings can take out most of the TIE Fighters and we have seen A-Wings take out Interceptors. So I think the rebels could win.

Ya kinda put the Rebs at fewer forces, due to their pilots would be better experienced compared to TIEs being that the later never(or hardly) ever survive in any engagement they are in. So I factored that into the scenario in my head, but ya I could see the Rebs making it out alright before backup arrived.

Plus, I don't think original TIE Fighters have shielding so one laser blast and they're done. It also depends on if there are any main characters with the rebels. Because those TIE's have really bad accuracy against main characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just reg Rebel pilots vs reg Imp pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilikaa Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Rebels would most likely win. First they have the X-Wing. These can chew up TIE fighters since TIEs have no sheilds. The X-Wing can take a lot of punishment due to their shielding and armor plating. Second, the A-Wing is a very fast, very agile and very small fighter. They can give the Int pilots a lot of trouble and keep them busy long enough for the Xs to come in and fire their torpedoes. this is where the third factor comes in, the missiles themselves. X and Y-Wings carry them. TIE fighters and Interceptors do not. Plus the Y-Wings do fire Ion Cannons, which will disable targets. Despite the higher number of fighters the lack of shielding and missiles put the Imperial force at huge disadvantage. The Starwings would survive better, but without fighter cover would be destroyed. Basically, the Starwings would be seriously outgunned even if half the Rebel fighters were shot down. The Rebs would then go in, capture the target and get the hell out of Dodge. Rebellion picks up the win. Edited September 12, 2012 by Kilikaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellion picks up the win. While your correct about the TIE fighters lacking the shields, they do make up for that(even if only slightly) in their maneuverability. So wouldn't count them completely out either, however yes the Rebs would still win. Edit: Edited the OP, lowered how many X-wings they Rebs have to 10. So it could be a little more fair for the Imps.

CassusVerda Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wait....um how will they get the plans again? Do they infiltrate the convoy ship...how heavily or lightly defended is that? Do they need a slicer to procure the plans? If so how long will that take. I think a lot of you are forgetting the "Important & can Change the Tide of the War" plans on the convoy. I don't think they could pull the whole "Dogfight & infiltrate the convoy thing in an hour." I could see if this was Wraith Squadron because that's their area of expertise. I see them winning then the Star Destroyer showing up then them having to bug out and call it even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a simple unarmed convoy ship, a pilot would just need to dock with it get inside, kill the pilot(its just him) or make him surrender and get the plans from the computer.

The Neb can't aid in combat but the OP never said anything about it pulling up to the target vessel and grabbing it with a tractor beam or two. problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillack Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Rebels would win hands down with minimal casulties. Y-wings have the firepower, co-pilot turret to cover themselves, and heavy armor to severly damage at least 1 of the 2 Star Destroyers' hanger bays, X-Wings have shielding and amoring and the skill to destroy most of the Tie Fighters, A-wings can hold back most Tie Interceptors. Star wings could be disabled via A-wings / X-wings attacking engines. If anything the Rebel forces would be long gone before reenforcements made it to aid the surviving Imperials.
