I just wish they still had 60 bombs on taloraan.

Ryyke blades are longer, Vibroblades are more like an elongated fist weapon.
The Binoculars have a zoom feature like the sniper rifles..use the mouse wheel, scroll up for zoom in and scroll down for zoom out.
I like playing the Empire for there bomber, heck its got 60 bombs.
Most of the rebellions fighters are multipurpose, so they lack as many bombs as the specific Empires fighters.
The Rebels ships tend to have better all around capabilities though.

Ah, thanks for the answers.

If I might ask two more?

1. The binoculars, do they have any traits like auto-spotting or making it possible to spot at longer distances?

2. This one's a space question, how do the X-wing, Y-wing, B-wing, and TIE bomber's, um, bombs compare, damage-wise?

1. I think the Ryyke Blade has longer range than the vibroblade or stun baton

2. We had the eweb/mk2 re-deployable in testing but the game would crash if an enemy tried to pick it up

Mines are ok.. hell they have a big red X on them when you deploy them.
I have even accidently killed myself with them.. backtracking to kill a spotted enemy.

in reply to rant, don't put mines in narrow areas, Mos Espa is very hard to navigate for noobs, the last thing they are looking for is mines.

1. Is the sword that rebel support troops get any different from the vibroblade?

2. Was it a design choice to not make the Eweb re-deployable, or was it just something you couldn't work around?

And my rant, why the hell do people always punish for mine teamkills, hell, I put them in plain sight on the wall (I find mines much more effective planted on a wall then the ground) more as a deterrant then anything (because all the enemies seem to spot it), and my team keeps running into them, even when I tell them where they are over chat! *sigh*, once held onto imp outpost on endor with only 2-3 others for about 5 minutes using mines, tried that at wattos on mos espa today and got kicked for TK's.

Edit: Er....I think this shoulda gone in genral discussion, now that I think about it, can it be moved?
