Dev's you really do love rebels dont you?
Whats this bs reb propaganda I see up there! Were afraid to defend our star detroyers?
I have never seen a rebel overt, outside beta. And only killed 21 in kessel (before pvp change)
Never killed once by a player.
I can assure you swg's fleet is not afraid of defending anything, as I have personally defended the vette and SD several times.
What about freedom station? Taken out by ICE Pilots 1 vs 1? *all the time*
I dont see anything about the rebs defending it because there "Scared" (even though they really are)
I dont know if this is a ploy to get imps into space, but rest easy on Naritus, we keep the terrorism at bay in space.
I am never, or will never be sacred or not willing to risk life and honor to defend my Imperial Beliefs.
To those that think were cowards. /rude
Long Live the Emperor, Leader of the Brave!

Are you serious? It's just a bit of fiction.
If this is an RP post it's gone right over my head.

Seriously, if you get "very upset" over some small flavour text that the developers add with each update, you've got too much time on your hand.
Didn't see anyone get upset over the imperial or neutral flavour texts, by the way. No neutral players seem upset with the neutral flavour text showing somewhat of ainferiority complex towards the imperials, or rebel players upset over the imperial flavour text calling the rebels cowards, criminals, liars and whatnot.

If anything, the fact that they're acknowledging ISDs being wasted by single fighters is an indictment to their inability/intransigence to code an ISD with the correct complement of fighters defending it.
It also makes them look bad - they're unhappy that players can solo FS NPCs and adult Krayts, but they're JOKING about a single fighter-level craft being able to down a Imperator-class ISD?
Sounds hypocritical to me.

Theres no canon in Star Wars (that I'm aware of) about a single person killing a krayt dragon, there is canon about a single fighter taking down something much much bigger than itself (Death Star anyone?).

I agree. They did a very good thing with that message.
It's the whole point of the SD being in a PvP zone!!!!!! It's pathetic to see that SD sitting there all alone.
Should the devs add NPC TIE's defending it? Hell, no!! That would knock it off-balance. Then, if a rebel squadron decides to attack, and an Imperial squadron decides to defend it, then the rebels would be hugely out-numbered.
Although that would rock, and being hugely out-numbered would be much closer to canon, the rebels would cry, "Unfair!!" and you know it.

Perhaps they're trying to shame the Imperials into actually showing up in Deep Space. On Bria, I'm pretty much the only Imperial that goes out to Deep Space. The Rebel station gets destroyed by rebels more often than by Imperials.

Actually I think it's because there' a combination of droid commands combined with pilot skills that gives rebel ships MEGA shields for doing this kind of thing - the JTL equivalent of the imbalanced buff system for the ground game.
And there is NO doubt in my mind thatis definately a message sent to the gamers and is NOT RP-related. There's nothing good for continuity's-sake about a single rebelfighter being able to take out an SD (except for the climatic moment in the battle of Endor if you want to count that, since that only happened after a couple other fighters first took down the deflector shield) The only thing I can think of that might save itis this being the Rebellion's way of exaggerating how powerful they are - typical propaganda forANY war protagonist. Military forces do this kind of thing all the time to frighten the enemy, gain support, or just boost morale for their own men.
I wasn't infuriated by that loadup screen, but I must say it struck me as being a little weird. How often do the Devsactually include some player's crowning achievement in a piece of game art?Something just didn't feel right about it.
If what they're really trying to accomplish is to get us Imps up there to defend our capital ships, I really have no problem with that. But I would much prefer that the SD send out a distress signal or something, and give us a way to quickly make a lightspeed jump to its location, because I really don't feel like just camping out there for an hour, waiting for a rebel squadron to show up.

Gotta love being painted with a broad brush. Ever think that these non existent overt people may not be playing at the same time you are? For all you know when they are on there are non existent overt imperials. Does that meen people should say no imperials go overt.

Man this is funny. The loading screens are a general message that the dev's post. Do you think they actually check each server to see whats going on. NO. Its just a broad message get over it. PS Merry Christmas
