That was the original plan when Preacher and the lads laid them out for the map. Both the Tie and the falcon would appear

When the falcon is finalized, will probably look into this.

That would be awesome!! Can't wait to see the Falcon and T.I.E. Advanced in action!

Let's hope so! Just in case, someone delete his post! One of those crazy devs might see it as a good idea!

I think he was joking.

EMP is over rated. I'd hate it see it used in anything other than the current fighter complement and the infantry weapons.

It took no part in the attack on the deflection towers, so unless you want it to do the trench run, give it concussion missles like the a-wing.
Shields could be simple active defense like the 2142 gunships.

I'm talking about what it was packing in Return of the Jedi. Could probably switch them off for this map, or perhaps the big missiles are too big to go down the little exhaust port so they wouldn't work?

Either way, I don't think we need a craft with homing missiles on Yavin.

Hmmm, good ideas all, but thinking about it we should probably shift this line of discussion to the team forums, don't want to give away ALL our secret plans for these assets now do we?

I'd see the Falcon as a similar animal to how the Gallofree currently operates in space maps, but with the speed and manoeuvrability of a starfighter. Perhaps a co-pilot could operate shields (front and aft as opposed to top and bottom as on the Gallofree), and the pilot could have control of Concussion Missiles, though I'd see these as a dumb fire high yield ordnance as seen in the movies rather than the X-Wing game style homing Concussion Missiles currently used by the A-Wing and TIE Defenders. You'll just have to wait and see how we handle this most iconic of Star Wars ships.

With Chewbacca growling menacingly from behind you in the turrets!

Hey..theres a thought, how about an engineering position to carry out (albeit slowly) on the fly repairs?

Possibly, though I'd rather get in rear and forward deflector screens somehow, so it would be more like in the movie, and be a little more tactical.

F and X are bindable keys for vehicles. Give Falcon a similar shield to the current 2142 aircraft/walkers. hit X, a shield comes on for a small period of time which is invulnerable to all fire.

Too many things for the pilot to do there, which is why I suggest that a co-pilot gets to operate the shields. As for two defector screens you'd need two mouse buttons if operated in the same fashion as the Gallofree, so what would you fire your missiles with? I suppose it all depends if we go with a similar control scheme to that ship or come up with something completely different.

We could always make it a unique vehicle tied to specific players. If the devs get lightsabres and Gwynzer gets the unitaun, Twigs should get the X-1. But only if I get the Mirror's Edge-themed Mortar Freerunner .

As for the Falcon, just have the pilot control the craft as well as operating missiles and shields, while two gunners take the reins of the quad guns .

Vader's complaints end to be fairly family friendly tho.
