You guys thought the "fuck you" stormtrooper garrisons were bad try having a pair of AT-ATs waiting at your LZ.
Can you just go "Fuck the AT-ATs" and take some of the Republic's AT-TEs?
As much as I love the sight of AT-TE's clambering around I can't build a factory that will produce them. Never mind spit them out infinitely in the middle of an invasion.
I don't have any clone wars holdovers except for AT-PTs, Juggernauts, Acclamators, and Venators.
I don't count the Dreadnaught because I'm pretty sure it was already a holdover during the clone wars. Thing is fuckin old.

2.We need a mod for this
3. Juggernauts are pretty effective.
4. Dreadnaughts are fuckin Mandalorian design, I think they're older than the Republic.

Mandos already have a heavy cruiser (and a more modern one at that) in the Lictor though.
Besides is the Dreadnaught an actual Mandal export like the Lictor or does the Empire control its manufacture?

Yeah, the Mandos designed the Dreadnaught.
Probably to troll the Republic.

You saying the Dreadnaught isn't a scary ship? It won't stand up to a star destroyer sure but in smaller fleet battles it's terrifying.
AT-TEs on Geonosis would have been a good idea for the Empire, something versatile, hard to knock over, smaller target, more accurate weapons if less damaging, can be used as goddamn artillery...
But plot denies any logical decisions besides the Dreadnaught's layout.

Well the AT-AT, despite it's awkward gait and appearance, is actually a logical design from a fire support standpoint, its comical height means you can't obstruct its line of fire with terrain features, as well as making it semi-amphibious because it can just walk across a lake or something without ever submerging its crew compartment, and unlike the AT-TE it focuses ALL of its considerable firepower forwards. Plus it carries its own infantry compliment.

The AT-AT's focus for all firepower meant a rear assault fucked you up pretty fast, Battlefront I- II serve as witness to this.
The AT-TE was also capable of climbing cliff faces and practically using that as a staging ground and somehow the AT-TE could carry quite a lot of clones, just in a very cramped area.
Plus place a few Jet Troopers on top, you have a mobile death platform hard to flank, hard to surprise, also artillery.
Breaking news, intensive study by the Wayland Planetary Defense Forces has revealed that invasions consisting solely of hundreds of snowspeeders and T-18s are ineffective at uprooting fortified imperial forces. Rebel leaders expressed shock at this revelation and swore to provide snowspeeders to all the pilots who have this far been expected to attack on foot in order to rectify this vulnerability in their tactics.
Coming up next: Ilum. Should we even attempt to maintain orbital superiority on a desolate ball of rock and ice?

1st, does it have resources (man, nuclear fuel, metals, trade materials)
2nd, does it offer strategic position?(trade and military)
if neither then you just just leave that useless ball of rock and ice and blow it up with the deathstar

Ilum is smack in the middle of a major trade route. Controlling the planet has noticeable economic benefits if we can hold Taris and Carida.
Problem is that it's frustratingly difficult to defend because it's small size makes heavy fortifications impossible, and whenever we set up any sort of orbital presence the rebels allocate enough of their navy to destroy a much larger starbase 50x over to attack us.

You don't have a death-star, or well, not easily, I have another friend who discusses this game with me.
my internet has been horribly lately, are tropical sharks mowing down on the southeast aisan internet line again?
OH BOY PRESSURE'S ON TODAY.
I am sitting here a mere 8.5 hours away from my wedding.
AND MY PHONE WON'T STOP RINGING HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FINISH THE LAST OF THE PREPARATIONS WHEN YOU WON'T STOP CALLING ME FOLKS.
What have I gotten myself into... 3 months ago I had the bright idea to do this, now its the day of and the plans are in motion...
Did I mention that by this time tomorrow I will have accomplished World Domination by seizing control of the American power grid through a few flaws in the infrastructure? My honeymoon is going to Washington DC... to make Obama move over.
Depression can be beaten Marxon. But you have to motivate yourself to do something about it. Try new things as often as you can, talk to people about whats going on- privately if you're feeling down, openly if its exciting. Find things that you can enjoy for long periods of time and surround yourself with them, thinking of all the happy memories that go with how you found them and the things you've done with them.
The pills are only there as a stabilizer- an attempt to make changing your outlook as simple as eat this herb and a miracle will happen. Its complete quackery, those pills are widely known to cause the very symptoms they are supposed to be treating. Even with a therapist, more often than not it is impossible to open up to a therapist and trust them enough to tell them how you feel.
You'll still have your down days, even people seen as happy and pleasant have it happen from time to time. When you know you aren't feeling too good, just play it safe and think through what you say and do around other people so that they aren't getting upset with you.

SUDDENLY LIGHTBULB.
I've been putting off man-portable railguns for the Tecarians for a long time (outside of the M90 sniper and M91 marksman railguns) because halving the magazine capacity of each soldier for power cells just doesn't fly, but I could easily address that issue by connecting the railgun directly to the infantry droids' own power core. However the issue with that is that most droids lack the external connections for such a high gauge power cable, we'd need a whole new model of droid to accommodate that system...a whole new model such as the new Dragoons, who would also benefit immensely from a high caliber, high powered weapon with minimal recoil.

you know the railguns could get their power tap directly from the mechanical user instead of a external powercell, I mean they have a decently powerful power core right, also you could just use wires/jumper cables but I'm pretty sure you already heard of wireless power just from the palm to the grip.
If power,size or weight is really the issue remember the conversation we had on Electromagnetic-gunpower hybrid system could work.
