Wes:You mention using your new TIE bomber thingers in Counterstrike. They don't have R&D threads yet. Therefore, they may not be used in an RP at this moment in time.

They can be, but they would be the only ones in existance... IE: The research models...

For examples look at the opening posts of the BDE/GC war and the R&D ship discussions

Well yeah I meant they wouldnt be in active duty certainly not in combat in any quantity more than two. Really all you have to do is post a thread and then nobody will care. It should only take about half an hour.

I can only imagine you talking to a mirror a few months ago....

That was a misunderstanding on Dolash's part. You can't blame me for that.

Interesting how quick Imperial communications are.

Rather like those GC ones that cut right through jamming, right? ;)

With regards to that, refer back to my first post in the Bilbringi thread. The Empire was preparing for war long before you attacked, and upon the attack on Bilbringi Wes was put into action.

The speed of his attack is debatable, and I would agree that claiming it is happening at the same time as Bilbringi is getting a little ahead of ourselves...

I do think it would be a realistic compromise to say it was set into motion at the onset of that battle, with Wes' battle taking place after Bilbringi "ends", but before word reaches the GC about the result.

Yeah, the R&D thread is going to go up tomorrow - I didn't have access to a mouse for the photo description of the third SS craft that will be in the R&D thread until later tonight, and I didn't have time to write the post after that 'cause I was working on a paper. But I figured, hey, I have the first post of "Counterstrike" written, why not just post it and retroactively post the R&D thread since the fighters/bombers won't be used until the second post?

EDIT: And the point of having the attack "simultaneous with Bilbringi" is that as soon as word hits about the attack, Wes begins his jump to hyperspace. The actual attack will take into account hyperspace travel time, but it will be over and done with by the time Joren can extract his fleet from Bilbringi and rush back to Generis.

Somewhere along Marth's lines, the Druid-class never had a RP done for it either. Not sure why.

I didn't think that it really mattered as far as the demonstration RPs go. I mean, if you really really wanted to use the rule as a cheap way to gain an advantage over someone in an RP, go ahead, but as long as the R&D is well explained, I don't see a problem for a lack of an demo thread.
