I doubt the game is very friendly at 1600x1200 on any AGP system. But I play the game at 1024x768 and still get slowdowns on my Radeon X1900 XTX, so I think something is less than optimized with the code, whether it's graphical or not. But I think the game looks fine at 1024x768.

Man, I seriously don't think I have been this hyped for a game since Half-Life 2.

Sure, you can count the Endor Shield. The problem is, the Star Forge doesn't orbit Endor, and it isn't moving anywhere. For the Death Star to attack the Star Forge, the Death Star would have to come to it. If not, it'd still have to deal with the infinite fleet the Star Forge can create. I don't know if the Endor Shield could still withstand the firepower indefinitely. And I doubt the Endor shield generator is generating a shield around the Death Star from across the galaxy.

Meh, if you're Julii, I get the impression that's the way you are supposed to go.

Why is someone on a crusade to convince people otherwise?

How could the DS shoot? http://www.starwars.com/databank/technolog...orge/index.html

So it's completion would have marked a battlestation with zero weaknesses. Just like the first Death Star? IIRC the main reason why they attacked it when they did is because they found out about it, and it'd probably make the most sense to destroy it when it wasn't operational and couldn't really defend itself. Heck, the uber leader Ackbar was ready to call it quits the second he saw the thing shoot. It doesn't mean it was going to be invincible. Even the Bismarck was able to be damaged to the point where it was useless, and all it did was sink the Hood. But do you think the British would have skimped on an opportunity where they thought they could get it even easier?

ERrr...I didn't even notice that. But Flat obviously is supposed to be flight.

What on Earth do you do with yourself? The number of movies you watch is through the roof!

"Small Republic Fleet?" Wasn't it the bulk of the Republic Navy? It's been a while since I played KOTOR 1.

It's all good. You'll get responses from more than just me, so be prepared

Besides, the gravity likely wouldn't crush it anyways. It's a white dwarf, which means it's not exceeding 1.4 times the mass of our sun. Gravity will probably do what it does to most things that don't go flying towards the center of the star....cause it to orbit.

Wouldn't that be like always picking Brazil in a FIFA game?

Why?

Exactly! Though I'm sure Canada has qualified for the WC Finals before....yes...we did it in 1986. And made it to Round 1! It's the placing 3rd part that hasn't happened

I'm just going by what I'm seeing in the games. None of the weaponry in the KOTOR timeline seems any different than the weaponry of the movies. You have your blasters, you have your lightsabers, and so on. I think it's also a fallacy to assume that technology will always be advancing forward at an exponential rate. There are theoretical limits, as the galaxy itself is finite in its composition (eventually not going to find new materials...at least not stable ones). You can't keep miniaturizing microprocessors today, because you can't have a transistor made up of a single atom. And you can't keep pushing things faster, which is why we're making a switch to parallel processing now. Hyperspace technology in the Star Wars Universe has been around for what, 25,000 years? It doesn't seem to have changed much. Ships still enter hyperspace to travel long distances. There certainly doesn't seem to be much difference in how it works in KOTOR and the movies. Not to mention that things seem to be on the downside with the fall of the Republic. Not unlike the fall of the Roman Empire, which lead to technological regression in Europe. What significant differences exist between shield, laser, and propulsion technology between KOTOR and the movies?

Well, let's look at your question: Let's look at football. It consists of 11 versus 11 player action (assuming everyone plays ironman). Sometimes it's hard to get 22+ people together to play the game. It also allows the 140 pound hemophiliac to actively take part in a game like this. I love basketball, but all my friends are not fans of it at all. The odds of me playing basketball with my friends is pretty much zero. Playing floor hockey, no problem. Given I'm a huge fan of basketball, I love the tactical aspect of it. I don't really have the time (nor the money) to get involved at a high level that would actually involve a coach, I can get that experience (somewhat) through a basketball game. They are also exceptionally easy games to get into. Most people have an idea of what the rules are of the game, and they provide a competitive atmosphere. They are some of the most fun MP games. My roommate and I are currently playing through FIFA World Cup, where he created himself as a goaltender, and I'm a Right Midfielder. We get to play fantasy and pretend we're leading Canada to the World Cup Finals! Their fast, easy to play, and fun. They don't have the hassle of trying to organize a game, nor the costs frequently associated with these sports. As for the stupid answers, talk to Mr. Mooney about that.

Hey, I love the sport of ice hockey. But I can't skate very well at all, nor can I fire a 100 mph slap shot. The best I can do is floor hockey, since that doesn't involve skating. It also provides the roots of basic competition. Not surprisingly, sports and competition have been around pretty much forever.

How common is it to be completely paralyzed by fear? I could definitely see it if you had a phobia. I did mention the "deer in headlights," but would this be a situation that would actually have you paralyzed by fear?

Wait wait wait...so you play RPGs to put yourself in situations that aren't actually available to you? Kind of like me playing pro hockey? "

Acknowledged. Unless the capital ships had something, or there's another ship that we weren't aware of. They didn't seem any worse than the fighters and capital ships in the time of the Death Star. Though if you're acknowledging that the Infinite Fleet could still destroy the Death Star, then aren't we talking a draw here? Also, an advantage that the Star Forge has would be that it could more effectively wage war elsewhere than the Star Forge's location.

I'm guessing I'd probably react like most creatures. Which, given the fact that flight is out of the question, fight. The shaking frame makes sense....it was probably pretty scared. I don't think it'd be that extreme of an idea that I'd bite the hand of a giant that grabbed me. Self-preservation is a very strong motivation. And it doesn't really seem like a "deer in headlights" type of moment where you actually won't do anything.

I've never understood RPGs. Why don't you just go out and LARP?
