Nelowulf For all intensive purposes, we are saying that wedge developed the roping technique, since he did employ it there. I read somewhere (most likely a game) that no ATAT had been brought down by those means before. But, General Veers countered by spacing his ATAT forces out so to cover their flanks. But in reality, the maneuver is not only tricky, but very exposing and is really used only if no other means possible. A concussion missle does the trick much faster and simpler. There's a possiblity that my knowledge is too limited in the manner, but for this situation, i really don't care at all. If someone came up with the idea, then i'll be wrong. But I do believe the Battle of Hoth was the first time it was EMPLOYED. Tricky? I doubt it's 'tricky'. No offense, Employed is saying that it was USED, i'm sure a simple maneuver has been used before Hoth. Isn't it possible that (regarding the lack of C Missiles) Smugglers or something could of used this trick? I'm just trying to say that the way Luke said it, sounded like he knew what he was talking about. No argument intended. Just voicing my oppinion. BTW, you never answered my questions. confused

lets see....
Fire a Cmissle, or rope a walker, which is easier?
In any case, the ATAT hasn't been around for that long of time, less than 20 years. The snowspeeder has been around less than that.
Its kinda a matter of opinion, but the way it sounded to me was that being shocked at the ineffectiveness of the lasers, found that roping them actually did some good. I'd be pretty confident if I found the achille's heel of a powerful army.

Plus, what if you don't HAVE Cmissiles? Yes, it is a matter of opinion, I do believe. But, let's not argue.

So no matter what, you can't really contest it. Gotta love the Alternate universe. And now, let this dispute be settled, and back to the main point of this RP help thread.

EmSquad related question:
Are all pilots assigned or, for the most part, assumed to have an astromech for the Y-wings?

Angelic Celestia EmSquad related question: Are all pilots assigned or, for the most part, assumed to have an astromech for the Y-wings? I would think so, since they need one to operate effectively you will probably have a memory wiped R2 unit.

I was told to post this here so, here go's. this is for the Em. squad RP.
Couple of Q's.
1. can we use TRD (trench run disease, If fighters fly down the center line of a ship [ISD to be more specific] the lasers can not hit it, allowing to deal massive damage [take out the sheild's, command tower, ect.]) as a battle tactic when up against Cap's.?
2.What are the Wing-pairs and flights?

1) yes. However, when mission profile dictates against it, it is advised not to. Though on an ISD, TRD really doesn't work well... I'd rather shoot fire up its a** to knock out the shields, then do a TRD to the command deck.
2) Wing flights are as follows:
Alpha squadron: Emerald Leader, Em2, Em3 (2&3 are wingmates)
Beta suqadron: Emerald 4, Em5, Em6 (5&6 are wingmates)
Gamma Squadron: 7,8,9 (8&9 are wingmates)
However, in rankings, first in command would be Leader, followed by Em4, followed by em7. If all the leaders are knocked out, then, Em2, Em5, Em8, Em3, Em6, Em9.
Until we get 12 pilots, that's how it works.

What exactly is a "CAP"? sweatdrop
And, Em 7 leads Gamma squad, and that Nospai fellow is Em 9, so he's on your wing.

Uber_Bunny CAP is short for capital ship No it isn't. CAP is Combat Air Patrol. Military terms only. Captial ship would be called by corvette or cruiser, depending on the vessel class.

Ah, so in other words, the CAP would be TIEs and such?
