Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Stellar laughs as he imagines these Rancors being picked off by Massdrivers at the edge of the horizon.*

Tisk, tisk, tisk. Since its baseline is a rancor it has all the vulnerabilities and problems of a rancor, slow speed, vulnerability to piercing and kinetic weapons (Come on, Luke killed one by dropping a dull spiky door on one for God sake), and all that jazz.

So it can be used by Dathomiri witches to channel the force, no big deal... Those witches understanding of the force is extremely limited, most only known stuff that a jedi learned in his first couple months. Moreover the infusion of technology with their mounts isn't something most Dathomiri witches would like or even understand.

1) metal conducts electricity. And lightning doesn't work that way. Ever see computers with those packets that say "anti-static"? Yeah. you'd fry the cpu.
2) AI? Hell, just make a robot rancor. with as much as you're upgrading, there's not enough life force for a very strong connection anyway. The witch could barely tell it was there by the time it was done. Remember, Vader lost 80% of his force potential just by losing arms and legs. All you have is heart and brain.....
3) ******** AI. A dathomiri can control a Rancor without a computer to play pong with.

And most importantly: Your rancor is still too damn slow. With that much armor and shielding, it would have to be the size of the gargantuan and on repulsorlift pads to get it "fast". Four mass rail guns, three different shield projectors, laser cannons, and missles.

Have you even thought of how damn heavy that ******** is going to be? Soggy ground, you're toast. The only thing left on that Rancor would be heart and brain, because nothing else would be able to simply hold that much weight.

Farfetched... Not at all...

*wonders who keeps on deleting his questions* evil evil

The force may be powerful, but moves like speed and strenght dont' work tha way dude.

The rancor would have to know how to use the force to enhance his own speed and strenght.

Those skills are for a single person, not applied to others. Otherwise, all a jedi would have to do is get a group of kids to hold hands an they could run a thousand miles per hour.

You have quite a large misconception about the force. You can't "make a channel" with something and use others like a remote force user. It'd be like Anakin channeling the force through padme to do a "push". Padme can't use the force, and Anakin had to do the push himself.

Dathomiri can inspire a rancor to move faster, but they can't actually make them run faster than they normally could. The channels allow for enhanced reaction times because the rider and beast think like one. They don't however "share" skills.

Thus, your rancor will not run like a mofo, lift star destroyers, or crap lightning. it will, however, seem smarter and stronger with a rider because she is subconsiously directing its actions and focusing what little cognitive processes it has.

Trust me. I've been reading up on hundreds of aspects about the force ever since I had to develop a balanced system for CotGCW. You can't just perform any trick on anything. It don't work.

Speed and strength can only affect the castor, the nightsister. Until the rancor learns to be a jedi, it can't perform such feats.

commented. And that's just the tip of the iceburg.

He left?

And?
