Everyone would.

They cost a fortune.

I also want to know how he can afford production on these Acclamators..  

[Nelowulf]

I would like to know how he built a fresh port, and an acclamator from scratch, all in the period of several days.

At least, that's what I get out of his posts.  

[elvisnake]

Maybe he's selling everyting Wayland has, so that once he gets his dated assault fleet, he can move on to some other planet to decimate.  

[FrozenPhoenix32]

Ya, apparently he has a production line that can build them in days.

I remember a source teling me that an ISD took up to a month to build? And that's under Imperial pressure.  

[elvisnake]

Well, that either means that he's
A.) Really good.
or
B.)Doesn't know what he's talking about.  

[Nelowulf]

Or C) has the entire staff of Fondor Shipyards working on one ship.  

[Sol Walker]

where the hell is he procuring the raw Materials to build all these ships?
and what about ammunition? Food? War materials?
who is supplying these to his forces?
Replicatorsand fabricators dont exist in star wars. Everything has to come from something.
In LoP, I had to stockpile a crap ton of raw mats before I could even think about Refurbishing a battleship, much less build one.  

[elvisnake]

I don't think he thought about the practical aspects of this, Just that it would be 'cool' to have a fleet.  

[Sol Walker]

I usually do worry about things like that.
When someone says 'hey! WTF?! How come you get a battleship?!" or some such, its nice to be able to prove that you did earn it.  

[Sol Walker]

Frankly, I like Link's aproach to life.
How more can you stand out in Sci-Fi than by living in a fasion berift of technological benefits?  

[elvisnake]

Realisticness, especially in a fantastic setting, is always a good thing.  

[Sol Walker]

Thats called Hard science fiction.
Where they bring in huge amounts of science and such to back up their story.
Star wars is of course Soft Sci-Fi, because it plays fast and loose with advanced technology and dumps the science for a sort of psuedo fantasy feel.  

[elvisnake]

Yeah, I didn't mean realisticness as in Hard Sci-fi, I actually prefer the looser, softer SW-ish Space Fantasy. What I meant was that I prefer realisticness in situations and backgrounds in the settings I enjoy. For example, an adequate explanation as to just how someone ammassed a giant fleet from just the profits and resources of one world would be preferable than just 'because it's cool'.  

[Sol Walker]

ahh....
I getcha.

I hate it when you're reading a book and they go into like 50 pgs just about how the cloning facility works.

Who cares? It might be interesting to put in a sourcebook or something, but is it really necessary for pacing?
