Reading that last reply gave me a headache :D.
Telan, you're taking it too seriously, man. As am I, at times, but I'm just cranky when I am denied delicious brownies because of the fear that I might cough phlegm on them. This OOC debating isn't regrettable, it's a necessary part of The Rebel Faction - only through careful explination of our ideas, shorn clear of literary exageration or fanciful character dialogues - can we understand and fully appreciate each other's strategies, and have our disagreements mediated.
If you thought you could just fly in, declare Imperial Discipline, and the coalition would explode in fear, you were wrong - instead, we fight it out, as equals, as Men! (well, as man and alien respectively) and as such, you will be trying to outwit me, I will be trying to outwit you, we both learn from the experience, but sometimes we need it to be mediated. People don't like to admit they've been outwitted, and sometimes just can't see it, so it helps to have someone who can say 'yes and no' so we can proccede.
This battle has, on a strategic level, evolved more then any fight I've been in yet, and my fighting strategy is - I admit - one that would irritaite the old hounds of the Empire who fight with cannonades and fancy admiral hats, since it involves a lot of going VERY QUICKLY all over the place, and sometimes seemingly at random. If I think what I've done ammounts to me outmaneauvering you, and you think what I've done ammounts to me flying in circles while you blast me out of the sky, it is VITAL that we have someone who can unbiasedly read both of our writing and say "Yes, this happens." No need to get upset about it.
P.S. I don't know what you were saying in your reply, was it that only the vanguard of your ships are the only ones in firing range of the planet? If so, since they're not destroyers they'd have to be pretty damn close to be firing on the planet - running into the shields close. If it is indeed the destroyers who are close enough to fire, they must be pretty close, and you keep saying they're moving forwards, so since the shield came up, I just kind of assumed you'd want to move out of the way.
