Mods and games that limit themselves to only portraying the movies simply become too shallow.
Escort Shuttle
Funny, I was just thinking about that one! I agree, it'd make a great addition.
I especially like the after heavy laser turret.
Those were a real bitch to fight in TIE Fighter and X-Wing. (they have a turbo laser on their arse - thats pie to you Americans.)
I remember my officer harping on about how I had to first fire a missile at their turbo laser to disable it, and then fire two more at the shuttle itself, destroying it.
Good times.
And yes, I'd love to have it in First Strike. I'd freaking live in it.
Oh, and I wonder if they can fold their wings like Lambda class shuttles can. Otherwise, I don't see how you can land them. Maybe they simply use the wings as landing struts?
It was not in any of the movies, but then again neither was the B-Wing... the assult gunboat is in all most all starwars games as a standard starfighter for the Empire and is the Empires answer to the B-Wing.
The B-Wing was in Star Wars VI, so I have to smack you across the face.

Speaking of which they better get the TIE fighter sound right, hoefully they can get that sound when it flies bye.
you crazy! I've spent 10 hours plus and still need to redo it completely! making a game engine where I don't have an acces to how sound is handled to sound like a recorded elephant isn't THAT easy I tell you. There's a reason why no game has it just right (unless they simply play the sound straight off.).
I've got a solution that I'll work on when I get some time over though, but giving the right effect would mean we had to play the very sample straight off everytime a tie passed by, and we simply can't do that. nor would it sound good when a tie flew ALMOST by 
anyway I think I'll get rather close and hope you'll agree later on.
]]>X-Wing rocked! So did TIE Fighter, but I never got to play the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter or X-Wing Alliance sequels.
NEVER played XWA? That game ruled, once you got past the stupid story bit and joined the Alliance. Also, if you donwload the XWA Upgrade mod, you get modern (well, 2 years old now..) graphics.
Buy it here, at once!
