Im bored so i thought id make a post out of this. Been in my head for some time. Its all about farming FP, or stopping the other faction from doing the same. GCW wise, thats all there is in space at the moment. Wish this had more depth to it.
Past thesis:
Control of DS is vital because of the FP yields. More FP = more bases = more control of ground in GCW.
Current thesis:
Depends on faction.
Imperial: control of DS is important
Rebel: Denial of DS is important.
Reasoning and Logic:
Rebel FP farming:
- Has multiple teir 4 spawn areas in normal space.
- Teir 4 destroy duty
- Kessel & DS farming
Imperial FP farming:
- Very limited teir 4 spawns in normal space.
- No teir 4 destroy duty
- Kessel & DS farming.
Conclusion on FP farming:
Rebels can circumvent any *need* for DS or kessel via destroy duty or various teir 4 spawns in normal space. Stopping rebel FP farming is extremly hard because you have more areas to patrol. Imperials are more or less funneled into DS. Stopping imperial farming is easier because they're funneled into DS. This presents a strength for the rebellion and a logistical weakness for the Empire.
Running a blockade:
Rebel DS station:
- has two local rebel stations to declare overt
- is spaced equally between two hyper points. (6K or so)
Imperial DS station:
- Nearst declaration pointis 9KM from DS station.
- DS station has 1 hyper point near it, at 3KM range
Conclusion on blockade:
Rebel station is harder to blockade as they have more ways to approach. Imperial station is easy to blockade and is high vulnerable to spawn camping from the hyper point.
In a serious fight rebels could resupply more attack waves from 2 approaches that are not far from their DS station, where as the imperials can be cut off from the nearest hyper to their DS and be forced to travel much farther in order to get around that. Making imperail resupply waves more sparatic.
These are the things i think about when im bored and the power goes out
