Sometimes you've just gotta sit on the floor....

Or you could sit in a chair, a well known sitting implement.

Sometimes you've just gotta drink with a straw...

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Straws are good.

Sometimes you just have to burn a village to the ground and slaughter people with a chainsaw...

Sometimes you have to sell your soul to a demon to get what you want...

Started Black Butler yet, Ash?

[James Gryphon]

Ehh?

Started Black Butler yet, Ash?

No, I got sidetracked watching Legend of Korra and I'll watch it after I've finished book One.

In the films, fighter shields don't appear to be much better than stormtrooper armor.

What I mean by that is that while they might block indirect fire, shrapnel, and hull fragments, they don't seem to help much when it comes to protecting against direct hits (certainly not like they do in the video games, where they soak up dozens of blaster bolts). The TIEs that flew at the Battle of Yavin took out most of the X-Wings with about the same number of shots as it took the X-Wings or the Falcon to destroy them.

For the most part, all these protective measures seem to do is to keep the fighter intact long enough to limp away, not to allow it to win a fight. Don't get me wrong, that's still useful, but it isn't all that and a bag of chips.

Well, there are different shield types, but all star fighters use deflector. I get your point.

I get all my knowledge about it from a game so I don't really know about all that king of stuff.

Empire at War?

X-Wing Alliance.

Sometimes I wish the forum would accept Russian, Arabic, and Turkish characters.
