No, you don't hate Kotor or anything related to Kotor at all...
How the hell will it blow up something that it can't find...
The death star is going to draw a bit more publicity then the Star Forge...
and the death star is a hell of a lot slower then most ships, it would be easier to find it. For example after it blew up Alderaan it would have to use a hyperspace route to go somewhere else. These routes are all known and you can estimate where it went after that. All you have to do is find a planet it destroyed pretty quickly after it destroed it and then follow the possibly hyperspace routes from there on to find out where its going. See it call in back up and destroy it.
And thats not really important is it, if IKC is right about the sun crusher it will just destroy any place with an imperial fleet and take out the imperial navy like that... The Death Star would either be running or hunting, and in either case its screwed if its running well its a slow thing it won't work if its hunting for the Star Forge army's then its screwed because it won't find the Star Forge and it draws attention.

Why is the suncrusher with Revan? it was a prototype that was created after the Deathstar. Remember the Jedi Academy trilogy with Kyp Durron going around all "Wow, Exar Kun rules!!"
Because the Imperial Navy would destroy him and his fleets easily if they didn't have some kind of super weapon that rules all.
The Death Star still has an entire galaxy to stay in plus it would take some time to figure out which planet it destroyed if any. It could be around the forest moon of Endor still in secret. Remember the rebels didn't even know about the creation of the second Death Star until Palpatine allowed them to figure it out.

Okay, but then there would still be an army looking for it..
And the Imperial Star Destroyers and their fleet is just floating around? In KoToR, did the Republic army spend all their time looking for the Star Forge...no, because they had fighters and cruisers and soldiers attacking them just like the Imperial army would be doing.

The Imperial navy would be destroyed by the sun crusher, look if that weapon is as poweful as claimed and I wouldn't know then there is just no way the Star forge and its army will lose... Althuogh the price would be incredible...

Because the first post led me to assume they were all on the same battlefield already.
I don't know... I have no idea what the suncrusher is, how big how powerful how fast, how long it would take to fire... All of that stuff...
It's a starfighter-sized craft. It shoots torpedoes into stars that make them go supernova. It's covered in virtually-impenetrable armor.
The likelihood of a Superlaser blast hitting that thing is astronomically low.
Yeah, nothing would happen. The torpedos don't actually have any real destructive power against anything except a star.
The Imperials would still win. The SF Army is very weak next to the GE, so weak that the Imperials could defeat them with less then 10% of their forces. The Suncrusher can actually be damaged by turbolaser blast, even if only by a very little amount. The Imperials would lose several ISD in the process, but they would take the Suncrusher down.
How exactky? I mean if that weapon is really as powerful there would be a Jedi flying it, the greatest pilot they had..
That Jedi would need to fly into the star shoot and get the hell out of there... Could the Imperial Navy do something to stop it? Besides I doubt that if this weapon is used the Imperial Navy would keep on fighting, if Coruscant was destroyed Kuat shipyards, things like that.. The imperial Navy would eventually juts have to say they can't win, and that the casualty's were to great.
If this was a fight to the end, then the entire galaxy would likely be destroyed in the process.
The Sun Crusher only ever had what, seven shots? Since woot didn't mention unlimited ammo, we can assume that in the course it would take for the the NON-Imperial scientists to figure out how to reproduce the Sun Crusher's torpedoes, that the GE would wipe out the SF's armies.
If Palpatine willed it, I bet he could hide a top secret, ultra classifed Death Star from the masses, as well as it's locations. I mean Jeez, he somehow managed to smuggle the Lusankya, a huge mother f*ckin' Star Destroyer, BELOW the highly populated city streets of Coruscant. I'm sure he could hide something which is floating in the expanse of space.
Even if the Sun Crusher were to take out key systems, there are still ALOT of Imperial worlds left that could kick up manufacturing. And since we know that the Star Forge would be a b*tch to move as it doesn't have any recorded Hyperdrive, sooner or later the Imperial Intelligence Network is going to work out it's location. And "later" is going to be alot sooner than it would take to make more Sun Crusher torpedoes.
