that's the problem with the books, some of the authors are brilliant but there is a lot of stuff that is sort of average which has dragged down some good concepts

[The E]

Since when has "Mandalorians are the best, brightest, most AWESOME people in the UNIVERSE while Jedi are hypocritical idiots" been a good idea?

Ask Bobba Fett...........




IMHO Sith are best

*cough* General FreeSpace *cough*

Which of course leads us onto how the Vasudans recovered after the destruction of Vasuda Prime

What a subtle return to Freespace. 
But then again this topic appears to have strayed so far off topic it doesn't matter all that much

[Colonol Dekker]

Sith orbital bombardment of Dantooine, Lucifer orbital bombardment of Vasuda prime?
 
Logic
 

[Stormkeeper]

How did anyone survive the bombardment of Vasuda Prime anyway? AFAIK, the Shivans glassed the planet, the Sith just bombarded Dantooine.

[The E]

Evacuation prior to the Lucy's arrival, for one. Also, the Lucy took some time to kill everything on Vasuda prime, which would allow even more people to escape.

[Thaeris]

If they get past the fighter screen, that is...

[SpardaSon21]

Am I right in thinking Alpha One was nowhere near Vasuda Prime at the time of the Lucifer's bombardment?

[Stormkeeper]

I think he was. Helped with the evacuation I think; I seem to remember a certain mission like that.

[deathfun]

I've got the CD on standby, time to check for you folks

EDIT: Damn, I restarted the campaign so I can't go to mission simulator...

[SpardaSon21]

I think the mission after the bombing of Vasuda Prime command briefing is the one where you escort the various transports and freighters in between the three jump nodes.

[Mongoose]

I think he was. Helped with the evacuation I think; I seem to remember a certain mission like that.

The mission "Exodus" actually took place after Vasuda Prime's destruction; the ships you were escorting at that node cluster were either transports/freighters full of refugees and supplies leaving the Vasuda system or warships heading into it to strike against the Shivan forces.

And to answer your earlier question, the first command briefing from Admiral Shima mentioned the Lucifer bombarding Vasuda Prime for something like fourteen hours, which would presumably give time for at least some civilians to be evacuated from other parts of the planet.  The Shivan forces in orbit probably destroyed the majority of those, but at least someone had to get through.

OOMPH sorry didnt check the forums for an insanely long period. And probably will be gone for another insanely long period too, exams are coming.

Anyways, why would command want to send warships INTO vasuda is beyond me.

As for restoring V prime, it *is* possible but would be like terraforming a planet from scratch. Or 'vasuforming' 

Maybe if there is a sequel, I would most certainly expect something to be done about V prime and restoring the link to SoL.

And about FS3... no one said it HAD to be a game... dont stone me but I'd be quite content with a glossy pictury polished book, or movie or wadever. I assume the modderrs here will take it from there.

[The E]

Maybe because there's this big Alliance in need of symbols? Helping this evacuation would be one of those. And do you seriously think that Vasudans, who seem similar in terms of thought processes to humans, would NOT try anything in their power to get everyone out?

[deathfun]

Wait! I remember this one little video of the bombardment showing vessels flying out of the city. There is the proof

Well that just means the last ban had no effect at all.

Let's make it a month this time then so that you catch some of it.
