the weapons and sheilds and speed would have to be weakened

Wouldn't the cloaking be VERY overpowered?

Interesting ideas Canadiens, but I'm not sure about the black box spawning thing. The LoDs would be incredibly easy to do though. Hmmm, maybe I'll have to make a TIE Phantom then.

or rather played that

And where have I played that scenario before....HMMM:

Rebel Assult II
X-Wing
X-Wing Alliance
Dark Forces

It's a fairly common scenario

And those cloaked TIE Phantoms are totally possible. Either do it using increasingly transparent LODs as I said, or have one on-board weapon be a cloak that spawns a black box around the ship.

Oooh, an actually cloaking TIE Phantom would be amazing. Sounds tough though, maybe not. I would love to see the TIE Defender in as well. The Defender is super cool, and I loved flying it in TIE Fighter. It matches up to the A-Wing pretty well seen as how it has shields. If only they could implement it's tractor beam....oooohhhhh.

We had a rather in-depth discussion on UAVs for both sides awhile ago in the general discussion board. The imperial choice was fairly obvious, the probe droid, but the rebellion choice was a difficult one. I think pretty much any floating droid would work, just retrofit it and put a rebellion logo on it. I like the training remote idea though.

Also, remember those TIE prototypes from Rebel Assult II that were able to cloak? Just mess around with mesh transparency for each LOD for the TIE. For instance, have transparency at 90% for far away, and as the LOD level becomes more detailed as the ship is closer, have it less transparent and easier to hit.

An X-Wing raid on their production facility would be a great map idea.

We have two type of Map Scenarios coming ---------- stay tuned!

Canadiens, that's an idea I just thought of. You could have a map where the Rebels invade a Imperial testing facility and the Imperials must use the wacky weapons and vehicles they have at hand.

I would honestly save the specialized TIEs for perhaps a map or two where there is a battle at an experimental facility. In maps that take place during the A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back eras, there should really only be TIE Fighters and TIE Bombers. Incerceptors would be great for some of the latter-trilogy maps, but when you start getting into whacky TIE variants it gets a bit messy.

A Holocam could be used.

"The military issue 57C unit is a more advanced model, equipped with special multiphase visual adjustment features, motion sensors, audio pickups, and signal transmitters." - Star Wars Databank

Basicaly a floating security camara....

^ Holocam in Databank

And of course the Trianing Remote like the previous person here mentioned...

In General, the Rebelion doesn't seem to have any probe droids specifically to them as the Imperials do.

Well, seeing as im such a starwars Geniouse, and video gaming master, I can help you with this UAV problem.

You would want something smaller than a imp probe droid, seeing as you wouldnt want it easily destroyd. So, why not use one of these?

For the imperials, an imp Mark IV Sentry droid. Small, fast, flys in the air.

Fore the rebels, possably one of these:

The Training remotes in starwars are mainly used for training, but it has many sensors in it that could allow it to be used as a recopn device. they are pretty quick and agile, and would be ahrd to knock out (basically like the current UAVs).

SO thouse 2 are possabilities. They are smal, fast, and can fly high jsut like the current UAVs.
