That SpecForce ranger is undercosted, I'd say. Deadeye and Advantageous Cover makes for a potent piece.

Actually, so is the Heavy Weapon Specialist. That's a very useful piece, if he only has one role.

Hmm. That's a neat Kyle Katarn, I like how useful he is, how much he can do.

[bountyhunter9]

I'll up the Ranger to 11.

I think the HW is good for the cost - he can deal some good damage, but still has HW and only 20 HP.

Yeah, he's a powerful mixed-bag, and more fun than a KK, Jedi Master.

[Jm419]

That's good.

Fair enough. Heavy Weapon is good.

Very true.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. Sounds good. Anything else here? Should I give Kyle Shields 1? Or does he already have too much? I could drop Evade, since her can gain that extremely easily.

[Jm419]

I'd drop either Mobile or Stealth from Kyle. He has too many abilities anyway.

[bountyhunter9]

He only has 7 abilities. Doesn't Juhani have that many? I would like him to be streamlined, but this is the type of character that falls into the lower stats/lots of abilities section.

[Jm419]

Does she? I suppose we don't need to worry about fitting stuff onto a card, or anything.

Totally off topic, but I got Battlefront, Elite Squadrons. That's a fun game.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah. I think the most is by Lumiya, who has 10 (and a Force power!). Boba BH has 9. Seven is still a lot, but not record-breaking. How many Force powers does Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master have? Like 8?

Lol. What system is that for? PSP? Is that the one with the space and land battles happening at the same time, or was that BF III?

[Jm419]

Oh, probably. I never got him, though I wanted to - but then I realized he was a horrible, uselss piece. Lol.

Yeah, it's PSP, and it has battles where you can start in space, hop in a LAAT, fly down, land, take some CPs, shoot some stuff, capture the ion cannon, shoot the shields out on the enemy capital ship, fly up, shoot more stuff on the way, land in the hangar, shoot the reactor, get in an escape pod, land on the planet again, watch the ship blow up, and shoot some more stuff. It's really a fun game, if slightly repetitive - but then all of the Battlefronts are repetitive.

[bountyhunter9]

Yeah, I don't have him either, and he's really expensive to buy, and pretty useless. If you count the Force 2 and Force Renewal, he does have eight Force powers (though I don't consider the starting Force to be a Force power, so it's really "just" seven to me).

Wow, that does sound really fun. If only I had a PSP...how much are they? As far as I know, they're around $120, though I could be wrong.

[Jm419]

Yeah. Force 2 =/= a Force Power. Lol.

120 used, yeah. It's really a fun game. They overhauled Galactic Conquest so that it's more like Empire at War. It's based on troop numbers and training - you can upgrade training in weaponry, infantry damage, and logistics (which increases a troop cap on a planet). Here's another story.

From one planet (Tatooine) last night, I launched an attack against Vjun which was successful, but left Tatooine open to attack with a garrison of only 10 troops. I was trying to survive a Galactic Conquest (just for fun), and when the Separatists attacked with 40 men, I figured I was done for. So, I started the fight, ran over, took the Ion Cannon, and fought there until I was overrun, but still alive (due to my health and ammo packs). I ran into a hangar CP, which I took, and was attacked by dozens of droids. I held them off until I was overrun again, and I barely managed to escape in a starfighter. I flew up into space, where I noticed that my team-mates had somehow managed to take down the shields on the enemy cruiser. I landed in there, blew the reactor (which earns 200 points out of 1000, it's based on the point system from the BFII space battles) and flew back out. They took out our shields, but I managed to defend the hangar by shooting down probably 40 enemy starfighters without dying. (Online, I tend to stay in space, because players on the ground cheat and grant themselves lightsabers as normal infantry, which is a hack. In the sky, no one can cheat, and no one can touch me. I might die five times on the ground in three minutes, but in space, I can top the charts everytime. So I figured I had a better shot in space than on the ground). We still lost, but I managed to survive, and score like 895 points out of 1000, which isn't bad, considering they had four times as many men as we did. I personally scored 61 kills. That's how these battles go. It's an amazing game, and I'm really glad I got it.

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. I might consider it, considering I have a lot of cash but not much to spend it on...

Wow, that's awesome. The game sounds like a lot of fun. Is there acid rain on Vjun, like in Jedi Knight: Jedi Acadamy? Can you go inside Bast Castle? Vjun is a pretty random planet to choose for a map.

[Jm419]

It's cool, and a nice little system, besides. You boot it up, and it asks you, "Would you like me to wash your car for you sir?" Not really, but it's such a pleasure to use.

No acid rain, but it's virtually impossible to land on Vjun - the map is very unique. It is random...why not Alderaan or Naboo?

[bountyhunter9]

Lol. I've heard that. A lot of my friends have PSPs, or Ipod touches, where I, with no handhelds, am left a spectator. ): Lol. I'll probably get something like that, and the PSP is one of the cheapest. How much was the BF game?
