Can he do that???

[Telan Desaria]

Can Vis really make my ships all return to Imperial Center, even the ones which I had built at Guild and Sith yards up to my own specs. These ships didn't have the override codes as noticed in the THRAWN trilogy. If he can, I'll play along and dump the computer cores and go to backups. But can he really do that. If so, I have to applaud Vi for his ingenuity. Bra-vo. I never would have though of that.

[Palpatine]

If he built the ships - yes

If he did not - No

[Sean Piett]

I've known Vis as long as anyone active here, and I distinctly remember that after we left TIE, he placed overrides on all ships, and said that he would continue doing so unless saying otherwise. I'm sure you can find the post somewhere in the bottom of the archives. Someone, though I cant remember who, tried to defect and after a big discussion, it was decided that Vis' system could not be overruled, and he made another post at GMA to clarify how the system was fool-proof. There is no way to reverse this. So if the ships were serving as Imperial, then such features would be installed. It's standard conduct that goes without say.

[Charley]

What they said :) aye-yup.

I can't remember the details, but I'm relatively sure that the backups also contain such a failsafe, but wouldn't matter anyway since you would be physically locked out from being able to do such a thing.

[Darth Viscera]

Well, I can't do that on the ships that belong to you personally, Telan. This is why I specifically mentioned only the TGE ships. The Guild is part of the Empire, and has been for nearly as long as you've been a member, so I'd say the Guild ships would be affected, too. Probably not the Sith-built ships if they were serving as your personal vessels, however (please don't see this as me condoning "personal fleets", to my knowledge this is the first I'm hearing of Telan's extra, externally built ships).


If he can, I'll play along and dump the computer cores and go to backups.

Oy, what a bad security system that would be if you could just dump the computer cores and go to backups. Unfortunately, it's not just a push-button solution. You'd have to strip the hulls in and out in a shipyard for a bit to extract all failsafes. We did this back around February of 2001 when Gue defected an old TGE armada, had to retrofit them to accommodate Imperial security standards and what have you.

[Telan Desaria]

So, what do you propose...

On the Sith and other ships, my crew would be unaffected. My ships would remain intact. But on your ships, I have to find a way to circumvent you...

Any suiggestions...IS there a Mara Jade in the house with Palpatine era codes???

[Darth Viscera]

About the only circumvention you could do is to narrowly escape with your life. Remember, there's no air on a warship with no life support.

And Palpatine-era codes would do absolutely no good on a warship not built in the Palpatine era.

[MMU]

Can I help? Pleeeeeaaaaaase? You must let me help or I will explode.



I do that sometimes.

[Darth Viscera]

Who are you? :huh

[MMU]

I'm MMU. The Rascal King's mobile mainframe unit.

And, I'm actually serious about helping.

[Darth Viscera]

The Rascal King's mobile mainframe unit.

What does that mean? :huh

[Charley]

Exactly what it says. :)

[Darth Viscera]

what is a rascal king?

[MMU]

The Rascal King is Lok s'Ilancy's ship, and MMU is basically the ship's avatar.

[Darth Viscera]

No, I think I'll just take my ships back, leave Telan that much more destitute.

You can help out some other time.

[MMU]

Well, I was kinda offering the helping hand to Telan.

My bad on not making that clearer.


*sheepish grin*

[Darth Viscera]

This is an Imperial dispute. Thanks for your offer, but no thanks.

[MMU]

s'all cool.
















*wanders off to eat tacos*

[Gurney Devries]

omg... I need to have some RPs with MMU in it. :D

[Jedi Neo]

*Neo walks in and lights up a small fire and starts to cook a fish in a pan.*

How do you all like your fish?

[MMU]

You do????




*eyes get watery*

Thank you...........*sniff*.......I.....I love you.

[Alpha]

Was wondering when this one would go off Topic for good...

[Jedi Neo]

::Neo looks at Alpha.::

Would you like some fish Alpha?

[Telan Desaria]

Mr MMU

I require all the ehlp you can give. According to my records, one of My star Destroyers and one of Carrack-clas Cruisers, in adition to all four former Thyferra ships would be lost to Vis if I allowed this to happen-he can't touch my flagshoip since it's in hyperspace and unable to receive commands or communiques of anykind.

So, that having been said, I cannot afford to lose these ships if I am to start an Empire of my own,. Please, I would beseech you to help me.

*takes offered helping hand and shakes fervently*

[Darth Viscera]

I believe that I can touch your flagship, and I believe that I already have.

1. You never posted that the Decisive went into hyperspace. Seeing as how I'm offering opposition in that thread, I think it's very logical and kosher to assume that those transmissions were received and all of my ships affected before the Decisive went into hyperspace.

2. Do a search on hyperspace (http://www1.theforce.net/CUSWE/search.asp?page=1&search=hyperspace&EandD=EyDn&no=10) and you'll see, among others, two important results: Hyperspace Communications, and Hyperspace Transponder.

Nice way to try and just insert that matter-of-factly into your post, but I don't see you having escaped unscathed with my SSD.

[MMU]

Yaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! I get to help!!!!! I get to help!!!!!



NOW.............

Let's make biscuits!!!!!




Let's make biscuits.

[Darth Vader]

Make Red Lobster cheese & garlic spoon biscuits, or I'll blow your planet up!

[MMU]

Salutes as eyes turn red*




"YES SIR!!!!"

[Alpha]

Those Red Lobster biscuts are good! :) *drools* yum!

[Darth Viscera]

Telan, you all but ignored my post. That HCLC is being used as a trans-communication point to amplify the signal.

[Darth Viscera]

bump

[Telan Desaria]

I'm pretty sure that the crew of the HCLC stil, has command of communications and things of that nature., You would have to clear it of all of my loyal crewman first. And I am not ignoring your post. I am waiting for you to do something.

I am trying ym best to save my flagship. You are trying to take it away. Let us go with imagination, but the rules of the Empire do apply. Let us say, that as soon as the crew found of your attempt, they intitated the self destruct, but, as you tried to stop that, they overloaded their weapons and detonated the amoo sotres. Your beacon is dead. Shall I post that.

I can't iit's locked. How are we to continue?

[Darth Viscera]

The crew of that HCLC is dead. No life support.

[Telan Desaria]

Well then, since it is dead, and has no men to man the guns and no automated weapons, shall we say I send to squadrons i TIE Defenders to its location to buffet it with missiles and torps and lay it low and nock out the beacon. \
