Beniboybling Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) "No game of dejarik can be one without pawns..." So the Heats have come to a conclusion and the Semi-Finals are upon us. 5 Finalists have made it past the initial set of rounds, LadyKulvax, Silenceo, Selenial, Aurbere and Myself will be moving on for a chance at the Championship title in a 2-man followed by a 3-man brawl.

Please refrain from engaging in detailed discussion, however trash talk is perfectly acceptable, and is in fact encouraged. As is the irresponsible gambling of credits and Wookieeookies.

Silenceo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Hope you guys don't mind if I do a few fighter number calculations to sate my curiosity. (just fighter compliment, not counting shuttle slots and ect) IDD:1764 Fist: 2972 PH: 1920 R1: 3240 R2: 1620 Some being quite a bit higher than I had figured, but I also noticed no one else has corvettes.

Aurbere Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Where'd the IDD get so many fighters? My research had them much lower. Do correct, Silenceo. It can only benefit my preparations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenceo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Where'd the IDD get so many fighters? My research had them much lower. Do correct, Silenceo. It can only benefit my preparations. Vindicators each carry 72 fighters. Strikes 36. 20 x 72 = 1440 9 x 36 = 324 1440 + 324 = 1764 The Vengeance has no compliment. It would be higher, but I opted to use corvettes instead of just having more strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenceo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Space superiority fighters FTW! I still think it should be lower. They haz no clamps I say! It didn't change between here and last match, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenceo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Hmm... OK. Thank you very much. Though, the fist has more than I remember, but all things considered it makes sense. On the upside, their defenses are not too great for the Capital ships, and the Gladiators offense is... meh. The Harrower's though... that be the real challenge! Side Note: What again was the number reduction for the Fist when it came to Fury Interceptors? Or the R2's Thunderclaps? After Thought: I am still skeptical about that number Beni. Now, if you had Vultures... Then you would haz soooo many! Edited November 2, 2014 by Silenceo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just going to say, that the fleet battle will be all kinds of messed up. All of them have a high ranking CIS member, 2 of which are the naval commanders... I wonder if Trench/Grievous hold any grudges against Tyranus... Or if Trench respect Dooku enough still deal with Grievous first, as a professional courtesy. Any way it goes down, so many possibilities and such... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in space it will be purely tactical, there won't be any time for negotiation. Unspoken or otherwise.

Silenceo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) I think in space it will be purely tactical, there won't be any time for negotiation. Who said anything about Negotiations? I was thinking more along the lines that they know the head of states and second in commands, all three fall under that and know which fleet is who's. I was basically wondering if old grudges or debts would come into play here. I can imagine it now... Trench: "Open fire on Grievous's fleet! Flank to the side to avoid fire from Dooku." Captain: "But si-" Trench: "That Kaleesh stole the spot light during the Clone Wars, I shall not allow him to do so here! I always have been the superior commander!" Supposed to be a sarcastic scene, so don't go and freak out. Edited November 2, 2014 by Silenceo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurbere Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 If Grievous has any grudge against Tyranus, it's for making him the way he is now. Grievous has a love/hate relationship with his cyborg body. He loves the power he gets from the body, but hates the fact that he is a cyborg.

Now, if you had Vultures... Then you would haz soooo many! None for the R2, the Viscount has massive hangars that it usually carries Frigates in, which is the reason it doesn't have more fighters. It can also double, perhaps Treble it's fighter count if it forgoes the ability to repair fighters, which I believe Revan would do. Also Underworld fighters So in reality the R2 is looking at around 2500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenceo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 One thing that is bothering me is just how many people opted for ships longer than 4.8k... Or ships that are said to be the equivalents of an Executor class. I know they have less weapons, but I think perhaps a secondary requirement should be set too for the next tournament, about a max defense as well.
