Oh, and just a suggestion, inund8: could you keep track of the clips posted in this thread and regularly edit your OP to list them all? Something like:

  LIST OF INSTRUCTION CLIPS
Lambda - Takeoff and Flight - by Suriander
Lambda - Landing - by Suriander
Lambda - Topple Recovery and Emergency Landing - by Suriander

Sort them by subject (alphabetically or whatever) and keep the list updated. If we get a lot of training clips, it'd be a great asset.

X's use their twin torpedos to hit the gun towers giving a clear ground run. Y's are better swinging in from above IMO, with the X's staying low to have a greater view of the area. Easier to get in behind a Tie swinging up to meet the Y's then. Two squads working like that could probably take a tower in a couple passes, just remember to break off to regroup once losses get too heavy to become co-ordinated again.

Imps should also get in two squads, tower gunners and fighters. Towers should spot enemy fighters and not engage unless they are within easy distance, prevents TK's. TF's defend towers with greatest number of enemy fighters attacking and NEVER go head on unless you confident at far range. Have a couple lone wolfs patroling the trench for nubs trying to destroy it with towers still up, and for those hoping the towers will drop while they are in.

Anyone flying X-wings, stay close to the surface and engage TIE fighters and ground turrets, hit the tower with torpedoes when opportunity arises.

Anyone flying Y-wings, form up on squad leader 1 and approach southeast turret at high altitude relative to surface. Follow his lead and fire lasers at 1,200 meters, launch torpedoes at 600. Restore to high altitude before enemy TIEs can react, bombard a non-contested tower with lasers until torpedoes are back. If people are following SL One's lead, they can do all this without a lot of communication.

It'll take about six passes with five Y-wings to bring down the towers (assuming that only torpedoes are used, it'll probably take like 3 or 4 once the laser attack and the X-wing strikes are taken into account.) Now, if you get eight Y-wing pilots (or on a true 64 player-size map assault, between 10 and 15), that time will get cut drastically. It'll probably be a sight to behold, too.

I have fond memories of the GC_Deathstar massive coordinated Rebel attack that I helped create. We had the entire team form up on the surface, and then all go in a massive push for the trench. It amazed the Imp team as much as it did us "HOLY !@#$ Rebel swarm, lots of red lasers". So we did it again.

THis means abandon noob tactics of lone wolfing it , and organize a fighter wing who knows how to fly formation .

lol...Over Voip or ingame text? Suuure.

Best I can hope for is to have a few good pilots on my team, not be organising the l33test fighter squadron in the galaxy in game.

(Angel) all right you maggots, listen up... red 3- take point. Red 2 and 4, take   left and right respectively. I'll be our centre...

(Red 3) which button is my shields?

(Angel) You don't have shields you deploy, just a health bar. Now you have to..

(Red 4) *Shooting at red 2* Ah- I think i'm on someone's six.... wheres everybody else?

(Red 2) ahh... wtf *expletives*  (explodes)

(Angel) Guys... for flip sake check your mini map and camera angles..

(red 3 crashes into red 4, their wreckage plummets to the deathstars surface)

(Angel) Guys?

(various) Space sux!

             lets play ryloth
 
              I can't see anything

              how come i can't spawn?!!11

AAAARGH! Extensive Angel investigative research has concluded that 30 y-wing bombing runs are required to kill a single defection tower in the 64player Yavin .

Thats 120 torpedoes, x 4 towers+ the exhaust port shot= 481 torpedoes to blow up the Deathstar!

Worryingly, the flavour text uses the phrase 'enough successful hits on the exaust port'

I'm assuming 1 hit is enough right?

I guarantee you can take them out proportionally faster with a combined strike.
I will make a video of how a stike formation setup to attack a surface target might look like.
We try and fly like the blue angels when we attack them, and it appears they do crumble.

Perhaps all the people who want to be in on this can get on the onto Lukes server (rebel hell) at 1900 GMT this friday?. I should have everything planned out by then

I still say feel need a Tactics and Guides section.
