Title: Military and Navy

Alright, just wondering a bit about this. Since we are in the early days of the infamous war, should we start keeping statistics for who has what? Example:

Imperial Fleet:
The Executor, Executor-class Star Dreadnaught, Flagship
25 Imperial-class Star Destroyers
50 Victory-class Star Destroyer
10 Interdictor Star Destroyers
1,000,000 TIE Fighters

etc...

Not exact numbers of course but you get the point. Since it is an importent piece of Star Wars, it could become rather important to have this stuff. Perhaps when we start having big events?
Small Recommendation: If this does get done, I just want to add that for equalisation Imperials are generally about Large ships with big guns, while Rebels are a bit more about small ships with working guns. So when this happens, get Rebels lots of Support vessels, not many full scale war ships... Just saying...

Anyway, it was just wondering in my mind so therefore I said it ^_^ Hope you all like the idea. Note: This is not for RIGHT NOW, just something to think about for the future.

Noted, though one thing, Executor class doesn't exist yet ;) That's not until the events just before Empire Strikes Back. As for big scale battles, that depends on members really. When we have a decent number per side, then we can look into that. We're always hoping for new members. On paper we have 71 members, sounds good doesn't it? But in actuality we only have maybe 10 active members. We need alot more, and once that happens, things will really start cooking here . Although the past few weeks things have really sparked up with new members coming.... 'Proper' members who actually fill in application forms. So let's hope that with more publicity, and now our affiliation with another Star Wars RPG, we can hope to see alot more newcomers.

Thanks for your input Chris, it's certainly something we will be paying attention to when wars come along as you said :)

Hmm...

I'd like to add a suggestion to this, that the Empire can distribute their fleet between the various systems (Dantooine, Taris, Bespin etc.) and can move ships around, whereas the Rebel fleet would be stationed in the 'Galactic Territories' subforum.

It's good to know how many ships each side has, but when it comes down to it it all depends on how many ships they'd have at the right place :P.

Well until A New Hope, Dantooine will be a safe Haven for the Rebels as will Yavin IV so they are able to switch between both worlds, but yes you are right, they will also stick to the Galactic Territories

The Empire does not have Interdictor Clas Star Destroyers. Wait, do they? I might be thinking of something else. but I think the Interdictors were used by the Sith in the Jedi Civil War.

Yes we know the Empire used it, but if you read the description it says how they were not used until months after the Battle of Yavin... This RPG is set 3 years before then.

I said they used them, not when, and not that we would... :P hehe..
Was you talking to me, btw???
