It works... just think about a single B-Wing, it's position marked for a whole squad of 6 Fighters with "attack here"
-> "Rebel Terminated"

Speaking of targetting:
If a ships subsystem is possible to destroy (like the guns of the Stardestroyer in "Escape from Hoth") where should be an Icon over it.
So a Squadleader can mark this sub system as target for his squad.

Offtopic:
Ever tryed to set as squadleader in Battle of Talorian a "Attack" Order on a enemy B-Wing ?

Or a map where you need to take the bridge of a Star Destroyer. You start in or near the hangar and fight your way through. Maybe take the reactor room, brig, armory, etc. Have terminals every once in awhile that links to scanner in a certain part of the ship. Or an escape from the Star Destroyer, similar to the escape from the Leviathan in FFXII.

Back on topic, How difficult would it be to make.. say a transport ship template look like a gallofree.
And making the systems targetable. Shields first, weps, controls, then engines.. and its destroyed.

Dev input would be appreciated.

Hell Yeah!

One big titan, make the corridors long with some choke points.
maybe an open cargo area, with 2 seperate floors.. make way to the princess chamber.
obviously we cant use the princess herself.. but capturing a post at her chamber .. or close to her chamber.

Time would be the winner for the rebels.. although ultimately she is captured in the movies.. it would be a moral victory for the Rebels.

Did BF2 have engineers in the transporst or any other vehicle auto repair ? just because they were in it? Probably could make FS do that. then there would be no need for an interior.
Just switching positions, you could change what you are repairing.
Sounds easy enough.. but then again, probably easier said then done.

Well, the idea from the Titans is not bad. If they could have an interiorn that be fun. We could repair turrets, if they are destroyed. And ( but it's one of my crazy idea XD ) we could use an ejjection system : In the Titan, you can use some pods. Here, why don't we change the model of the pods, and make an ejection pod ? ( the same that R2 and C3PO used to flew out Leila's ship )

But, you must know that's a crazy idea ! ^^ ( but if it's done, that be cool )

Maybe ships could have (manned) droids on the outside repairing, like in how they had it Episode I with the Queen's Transport.

And also when a ships subsystem is destroyed there could be a voice and text alert similar to those in vanilla's Titan maps.
