How to counter the ol' Stormtrooper disguise trick

[Gry Sarth]

In that case I don't think he would have been in more trouble than any other armored figure in Ord Mantell.

That might depend on how many New Republic sympathizers are about... or old Alliance members.

Is Ord Mantell an Imperial planet during your game Boomer?

[Boomer]

This takes place a little over a year after Thrawn has died.

Ord Mantell was the FIRST planet Thrawn hit and held, grabbing a large amount of supplies and throwing the Republic off gaurd. It was let go by Thrawn and and the New Republic recovered control shortly before his death, which was difficult to maintain during his siege of Coruscant (Known in History as "The Longest Week" due to the fact that government and major commerce were virtually haulted the entire time.)

Shortly after the defeat of Thrawn, Ord Mantell went to New Republic control once again and has been running service normally as a scrap yard, as it's supposed to be.

Now, Ord Mantell has always tried hard to keep out galactic authority, especially during the time of the Empire. This was mainly due to the large pirate population that used the place as a home port.
Such is no longer the case, with the Empire gone, and the Republic in a poor position to provide galactic defense, the pirates are out pirating again.
So the militia, formerly known as the silent fist of the pirates, is in a poor shape to maintain control and make Ord Mantell look like it doesn't need outside help. But the New Republic cannot provide the outside help that Ord Mantell needs with law enforcement.

...I could go on and on.
But so far what I am hearing is not much diffrent from the way I am already running it. But I like having outside opinions to consider anything I might have missed.

Here is another solution to the problem. Shot them before they get in the stormtrooper armor.

[Ray]

What what? Stormtroopers that can't shoot straight?

[Ejacobs]

<crackle>"Uh...TK-1138? Your blaster fire has become uncannily accurate. What's the deal, over?"<crackle>

[Ray]

"Only Rebel Troopers are so accurate."

[Boomer]

One, what Obi-Wan was saying on Tatooine was that the fire was too accurate and powerful for Sand People. Only storm troopers hit that well. Never said how well the storm troopers hit, and they didn;t exactly go over the scene CSI style to show us, either.

Next, on the Death Star, yes we all know they were missing on purpose.

Hoth... people died. A LOT... 'nuff said.

Endor, those tiny friggin ewoks, so hard to hit! But rebels, got Leia with a hip shot, and it was basically just her, Han, and a handful of others left. Everyone else was good and dead. I'd say that was good shooting.

And that's really all I can think of. Just to keep the record straight before we continue the jokes...

...because how the heck can they hit anything with those TINY, TINY eyeholes in the helmets.

Apparently, the Stirling SMG was infamous for it's bad sights. (It's an SMG, and, well, it's a Lead Hose. Not a precision weapon.).

And, yes, "I can't see a thing in this helmet!"

...

Oh, here's one way to counter it: "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?" "Yub Yub!"

[Hellcat]

Well, if you go by the Dark Forces games, stormies are a rather gabby lot. You'd figure someone trying to pull off the stormie disguise routine wouldn't want to talk too much. So just blast the stormie who remains quite for more than two minutes.

Same with Outcast and Academy, the stormtroopers won't shut up.
