Narf. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif (No actually this might be a good idea, the Narf I, II and III, all sunkillers who're used to destroy all stars in a trinary system. Narfsplosion, remember? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif )

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
 
Wouldn't one sunkiller be enough, as it would destroy the other two stars in the explosion?
/me starts thinking of Magrathean colony ships http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Death Star I had a weak spot. II did not - the only reason it was vulnerable to small fighters was that it was still under construction, and enough of the superstructure wasn't in place yet that there were a few paths big enough for fighters to actually navigate to the center and get direct, point-blank shots at the reactor core from inside all of its defenses. If the second Death Star had been completed, raw firepower would have been the only way to take it down, and I doubt the Rebellion could have amassed enough of it.

Yeah but the Emperor was all like "Ooooh I forsee it I will lure the rebels to my INCOMPLETE AND VULNERABLE battle station and brag to luke skywalker about this and that and!" stormtrooper walks in whispers in the emperor's ear "AW DAMN IT they actually thought about flying fighters through the obvious vulnerable area CRAP." Emperor then dies when Vader throws his dumbass down into the wierd hole that goes no where that all imperial construction boasts lol.
