Another use I can see is pointing them downward and using them to strafe ground targets .

Wait, the forum lets you say **** now? [Double take] Oh, wow. Nice one, Can.

to hit someone behind you would be insanely hard.. it would be nicer to have a fighter with a rear gunner seat. Y wing is a good example. Get me and a good friend in Y wing I gun... man people get pissed.. were owning everyone....

And canadiens take a chill pill. he has every right to his opinion, And frankly I agree with him... since there's hardly anyway to aim backwards to hit someone unless there right on your tail... and somehow your not dead since you die in like 2-3 hits in A wing... Then MABYE you might beable to kill them... but Since it's one of the fastest most maneuverable ship's you shouldn't have a problem getting behind the enemy

Meh, I don't think its needed gameplay-wise. Still, it would add some dexterity to the 1HP fighter on crack . I think it might balance it out actually cause its so vulnerable that I can normally kill them at long ranges with two well placed shots.

This idea is better than giving it more armor and missiles (concussion missiles would REALLY change up the dogfighting mechanics) .

I want dah TIE-Defender!!!!

EDIT: Oh yeah you're gonna have to find a way to aim that sucker...

The problem would be I think (im not a coder) that you can only turn them one way, but its pretty nice even then, if you don't like it just leave em in the stock position, good idea!

No.

1) Nothing to aim with.
2) In Y-Wing you have about 3-4 times as much armor, AND you have aiming reticle, AND you are not moving.
3) You will never get a kill out of it or hardly ever even hit them at all.

And it's probably just not gunna happen. Devs have better things to do than add spinning laser cannons that aren't even going to do much.

The a-wing is pretty bad-azz right now. It really doesn't need any improvements as it's the best fighter in the game.

i love that idea to be honest with ya. its a feature that would make FS better than other star wars games imo

Re: A-Wing's lasers

null@example.com (HagenSaubauch) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 08:59:52 +0000

would further increase rebels fighter superiority imo...

I disagree. I think that's a nifty idea actually that hasn't been explored in any Star Wars games yet (that I know of).

Come on TY, let's be honest here, if I can stop a Y-Wing in mid-flight, switch to the gunner seat, turn the gun around, and blow up a chasing TIE, then it's perfectly feasible to imagine gameplay where an A-Wing slows down to lure in a TIE and then opens up firing surprisingly...
