You can switch the themes right below the socials and the profile picture. I have no idea what happened, because when I load the site, it's loading in dark mode. It's definitely the drunk mode, though that button is off-screen
Right! The really really big ones. I though they were the turbos and the smaller ones werd just turrets of some sort. My bad!
No worries, the normal turbo laser turrets are relatively small compared to the Quads and especially to the size of an ISD.
Right, but the shielding is the key word. I wasn't saying it was weak in that it couldn't have an inventive use. I meant weak in that it had less offensive capabilities for a line fight like at the start of III. I mean, you could eventually cut someone in half with individual sheets of paper doing paper cuts over and over. But using a saw would be more practical.
That's true, though in that case you move away. Unless both ships have the exact same speed and heading, they'd diverge relatively quickly. Line fighting usually involves constant movement. So unloading a broadside or two probably doesn't do that much.
Oh, and I just had a quick look at the fight. So apparently the Venators have a big death laser around the lower hangar section. At minute 2:50 it is used to blast a Munificent apart. It might very well be, that it is the same type of weapon used by the Empire for Planetary Bombardments, or purpose built for the Clone Wars.
Right but, if I were captaining a Mon Cala cruiser, I’d position my ship with my main guns towards the hangar side and where their main batteries couldn’t hit me because I was on the othef side of the ship.
I just noticed that you mean the Quad Turbo lasers, the big guns on the top side. Turbolaser are the general combat armaments. Those are quite evenly spread around the ISDs, both above, below and in the “trenches” along their sides, and used for shooting at anything, Asteroids, fighters, ships. The Quad Turbolasers were the heavy armaments they’d use on long range stand-off/line fighting. Usually ships started combat out of range and then moved closer, so getting below the ship without it noticing or rotating was hard, especially so for a ship of the MC-series.
For the fighters/bombers, the enemy ships have their own escorts of X and Y wings too.
That’s also what the turbolasers are for. And the TIEs
But, Venators? They were extra weak on their underside because the hangar to launch fighters was up at the top along the length of the ship
I am not sure this is the case. In Clone Wars we saw a Venator using its underside to shield the top side and hangar against a blockade of Munificent cruisers. While they did most likely angle their shields their as well, it would hardly make sense to even do if the underside was specifically weak.
Considering that ISDs are big capital ships, they often are accompanied by other ships as well. On top of that, the Empire didn't really need a ship that was heavily armed on all sides until later, the rebels didn't really have a big fleet for a while.
Additionally, there's smaller turrets all over the ship to counter smaller fighters and bombers. Shields are also usually applied as a bubble and I think the bottom was more heavily armored than most parts. In case a big ship would be outside of their broadside turbolasers because it was below them, the ISD can also start to rotate.
During the Clone Wars the Venators usually weren't deployed alone if they were meant to go into fleet combat. Often there were multiple Venators and depending on the job Acclamators, too.
Is that from Battlefront 1 2004? I remember you could switch teams in BF2 2005 by repeatedly clicking the Logo of your faction in the respawn screen. Not sure if that was a single player only thing, though
Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I am just bad at making my own goals. Or keeping up with them xD a big reason why I don't play Vanilla Minecraft alone anymore. Though true, achievement hunting is nice, i did a few 100% games already. Some I want to be 100% but are really annoying on the last few achievements (shadow of mordor, I loath the last two challenges)
Yeah, Immersive sims can be quite cool. Though that might also be part of why I struggle with these games. I am very bad at making my own fun, I prefer having goals to work towards. Otherwise I become quite aimless x.x
Yes, I play on PC. I also already tried modding NV. Though I barely got it to work. Nexus works fine, for a lot of games, but with the Bethesda games I always struggle to get it running. I tried modding fallout 4 and skyrim and there always seemed to be something going awry.
Maybe I am just too used to modding like Minecraft or the Steam Workshop…
I ought to like it then, haha. Though I seems to be more the Glorified Excel Spreadsheet type, aka Paradox Games.
To be fair, I might also just not vibe with the style of the Bethesda franchises. Neither ESO nor Fallout have games I actually finished. The only games associated with Bethesda I actually finished are the Arkane games Dishonored and Deathloop.
