The age difference is a problem, as Kylo is ten years older than Rey and rey was 10 when she was left on Jakku, so not sure if the timelines would match up, and Rey’s arm being lightsabered is very cliched for Star Wars, but apart from that it sounded good. I still really want Rey’s real name to be Jaina.

I don’t think the force adjusts power on the fly to be equal, I think it’s more like it throws two sides with roughly equal force potential into the ring, watches eagerly, waits a generation and repeats.

Kylo is the counter to all the Jedi students, as due to his linage he’s probably as powerful than all them put together. Then he killed them all, so Rey turned up.

Canon Wookipeedia says it can’t do this, the film shows it dosent do this in both scenes. The entire mode of operation makes it impossible for it to be charged. It works on the same principles of accelerating a projectile that a crossbow uses. Technically you could say that pulling back the string on a bowcaster could be charging, but Chewbacca removed the string and replaced it with an auto loading mechanism. The only time it can charge is in the battlefront games, which is purely for gameplay reasons.

Like I said earlier, it’s the troop transport repulsorlift, it’s just drowned out by the explosion when he fires. It’s loudest when the transport is closest to the ground. There is no sound at all in starkiller base, as well. and Rey hit kylo in his unprotected face.

He’s waiting for the troop transport to get out the way, and it’s maybe a second at most.

The 2.5 seconds are from him aiming, he’s just bringing it up to fire, probably getting a feel for it as he’s only used it once before. Plus wookieepedia says it operates like a crossbow, load-fire. There’s nothing about it being charged. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bowcaster

I watched it several times. He aimed, he didn’t charge. The whine isn’t from the bowcaster, it’s the troop transport flying in.

Yup! @Earthlinger

Both times it’s fired, there is no charging. The trigger is pulled, and it fires, with no charging period. The bridge didn’t explode because it wasn’t a hit on the bridge, (which probably would have been more effective, thinking about it) it hit Kylo and was probably partially absorbed by his elite first order armour, which is shown to be excellent, deflecting blaster bolts and glancing lightsaber blows.

The two stormtroopers in that were completely missed, yet still got blown several meters. Also I’m fairly certain it’s only a charged weapon in the non-canon battlefront games, canon wookieepedia says its a projectile weapon that uses electromagnets to propel quarrels, so not sure how it could charge.

Keep in mind Kylo had just taken a direct hit from this.

Updated downloads of the EX-5 Oceanus and the EX-7 Hyperion, managed to shave over 200 parts off the Oceanus with more economic fighters, 20 off the Hyperion with by removing useless missile parts while stopping the wobble of all the sections with struts, and changed all the lighting to green because HKA. Also redid the screenshots because you could barely see the Hyperion in old pics.

Wow, that’s amazing! Don’t know if you tried it, but radiator panels would give a nice curve if they fit.

Built a new plane with about half the RCS of the last one, while retaining the same armament. I’ll submit it later when I’m at my computer.

He copy pasted it from obi wan’s, using instructions in his journal.

i had that problem as well.

I’ve seen your stuff on KerbalX, it all looks really good. Are you going to put more of your craft here?

I really liked the No Man’s Sky soundtrack, though it dosent fit at all with ksp’s style. To me it sets the bar for sci-fi game music.

I’d definitely support adding more music to the base game (individual “themes” for each planet/body?) as long as the base music is left alone, it’s become somewhat iconic for me. Chiming in to the conversation above, I don’t listen to playlists while playing, I usually have YouTube running in the background.

I know. Just it was played in the film as something more than a tracker, and I think some ships had sensors which catalogued the total mass of the ship and compared it to normal, therefore revealing and trackers. I think Slave 1 was upgraded to do this.

Welcome to the forums, @fingal56!

My personal theory for hyperspace tracking is that they’re doing it through an implant in Finn. It makes sense as the resistance only started being tracked as Finn was aboard, while also clearing up a discrepancy in that tracking through hyperspace has been said to be impossible many times before, the only way of doing it was to attach a tracker to the ship. It also seems like implanting tech into the heads of their troops in childhood would be a very First Order thing to do. The very technology is stated in the film as a “cloaked binary beacon”, which would explain how the resistance didn’t find it while healing Finn.

I’m thankful for the lack of story or direction, I think Squad has the created the ultimate sandbox possible. Whenever I have thought of something I want to do, the only barrier has been my skill, not game mechanics. Though I’ve been playing actively for 3-4 years, I’m yet to get bored. I’ve bought tens of other games in that time, and enjoyed them, but inevitably I abandon them and come back ksp.

I think I mainly played Combat Flight Simulator 3. I think I stopped playing it after that though, due to combination of discovering ksp and fufilling my ultimate goal, flying upside down through the Eiffel tower in a jet fighter.
