There are advantages and rape like you say. The fact imps have NO chance to win Ryloth vs a medium skilled team kills fun. It's another thing than kill an AT-ST.

Speeders are good like that. The space invulnerability bug makes it overpowered. Reduce a bit their health points, with the bug it will be still resistant but pilots shall make more maneuvers to avoid hits. More maneuvers = less shoots on ground units.

On second thought, don't make it a one-hit-one kill by proton torpedo. Those things are hard to evade if fired correctly, and shouldn't be a death sentence to any aircraft. One hit should take away 80-95% of the thing's hit points (as it pretty much does), but it should still be able to limp home.

PS: I love the thing, too .

Sounds like a good idea. Or ideas.

Jafar had some nice ideas for it in another thread. My thoughts:

- Reduce strength of laser cannons.
- Make rudder responsive proportional to speed, as with other fighters, so that you can't use rudder while hovering.
- Reduce hit points. I know the rebels gave it armour plating, but it should still be a one-hit-one kill with a shoulder-launched proton torpedo.
- Consider letting Firehawkes pop smoke or something for anti-fighter defense.

I agree with you and you know that was me in the speeder. I wanted to test it while eating cereals and it works. 22/1 with 1 hand. A monkey can drive it. NERF IT !

I love the T-47s, don't get me wrong. They're one of my fave SW ships, in fact a MicroMachines version has pride of place next to my monitor on my PC desk. But for hamsters's sake please make them less powerful in the next release. Taking a heavily armored tank out in about 8 seconds with one is just plain stupid.

End of rant. (at least until I play Ryloth again as an Imp and get totally pwned by one again)
