  1. Alright, I'm back. What did I miss, and what do I do?
  2. That's a cool question. I'd probably have a green saber and Niman. I really enjoy the idea of a Jedi Consular, a Jedi who isn't as much about protecting good or abolishing evil, but about nurturing good and discouraging evil. I also very much enjoy Niman's focus on using the Force in combat, as the Force is certainly what I would focus on if I were a Jedi. Niman is good for me personally because I am very much a lover, not a fighter. I have no passion for conflict, and prefer a diplomatic approach. Niman is a form for Jedi that focus less on the martial aspects of being a Jedi, and more on the mental ones, such as knowledge, negotiation, peace, and communication. Which is much more of who I am. I always thought the Jedi lady who helped Obi-wan in the archives was really cool. I'm just that kind of Jedi, I suppose. So I suppose Niman builds on my strengths, rather than adjusting for my weaknesses. Though, because I am not one for violence, using the Force in combat could be a good way to subdue an opponent without outright maiming them.
  3. Thanks, good to be back (kinda) temporarily.
  4. I have internet until this Friday, but RL is still in full drive. Then I leave on a much-needed cruise for a week, from 1/17 to 1/24. So it'll be a while until I'm ready for sure. I'm glad it's coming to a close, it's good to keep things moving. Of course that means I'll miss the start of the next Kaggath though. Oh well. I remember the good ol' days when Kaggaths were 100 posts.... that was nice. They're just too much to keep up with now.
  5. Thanks, I miss y'all too! If it's still in the planning stages when I get back I'll join in for sure. Honestly I think decreasing the amount of points all around would be best. Makes people have to prioritize more. Characters that are good at EVERYTHING are boring, to me. Specialization is what makes them unique.
  6. It does seem like there isn't too much for non-Force users..... If we're looking at the strategic side it seems like everyone who has a non-Force user leader basically has to funnel their stats into the same stuff.
  7. Yeah, RL is kicking my butt. And still will be for a while, it seems. It looks great, I'd love to participate, but I will be without internet all of next week, so that's bad timing. It'll be interesting to see how it works out though!
  8. This seems cool. But a bit complicated, no?
  9. Wait...... The ground battle hasn't started yet? O_o P.S. "Kylo Ren activates HIS lightsaber" .... QQ *cries for days*
  10. To disagree with most, I loved pretty much every single thing about the trailer. To go pretty much scene by scene: The stormtrooper guy was great, leaves me wondering who is he, why is he in the desert, why isn't he the calm and collected buckethead we're used to? That droid is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen, I need one NOW. New stromtrooper helmets/armor is EPIC, in my opinion, looks very updated and sleek. Speeder girl just LOOKS cool right off the bat, I'm so pumped to see what she can do! That X-wing shot is gorgeous, no need to say more. Everything about that Sith, the way they walk, stand, and pose, makes me extremely curious and hopeful for a more interesting, fleshout and unique Sith. Although I'm not holding out hope for a lady Sith, it's not CLEAR that it's a male... Yes, the lightsaber is an obvious Maul-esque moment, but personally, I don't think it's meant to be a hand guard. I think it's meant to be the opposite, an offensive augmentation that allows for some tricky moves in closequarters. A sly, cunning Sith would be awesome. And yay the Falcon! Maybe it's just that I am pumped in general for this movie, but I think it looks great, and I can't wait to see more!
  11. I'm not sure this argument is doing Revan any favors, Beni. Yes, Revan was a brilliant strategist. He was amazing at large-scale warfare. He could manipulate events on a galactic scale. He was trained by Traya, was he not? But the Battleground isn't a galaxy. It's a single battle. Nek doesn't have to be better at winning wars than Revan. He just has to be better at winning battles. Personally, I don't know enough about Nek to advocate for him, but saying that he's going to lose to Revan in a single battle just because he didn't almost conquer a galaxy doesn't stand logically. And I doubt Revan will have time to study Nek's (very unorthodox) strategy to use against him before the Kaggath begins. That deprives Revan of one of his main strategies, if I understand you correctly.
  12. Not to be "that guy" but.... Two light sided factions are having essentially a powerbase show down on the most densely populated planet in the galaxy and the heart of all Republics, past and future. I think collateral damage should really be taken into consideration. These factions aren't, in character, going to want this battle to end in hundreds of thousands of Republic citizens becoming casualties of a petty power struggle. For example, see what happened in Episode III when Anakin, Obi-wan, and Palpatine crashed that ship into Coruscant's surface. If this Kaggath's space battle were to occur over Coruscant, debris and entire ships could be plummeting into skyscrapers, killing at least thousands. I think this space battle should expand a bit. We should look at the Coruscant system, not just the atmosphere of Coruscant itself. The entire solar system could be used, which would reduce risk to civilians, and potentially give the tacticians more to work with as far as creative tactics go.
  13. Any one else catch the Imperial Propaganda guy who said "another successful planetary liberation using the Base Delta Zero initiative" during the Rise of the Old Masters episode? Made my stomach churn.
