Re: Assault GunBoats

I've played a few games that implemented the Assault Gunboat into the game.  One in particular being Star Wars X-Wing -- an old school Star wars game from back in like... 1995??  It's DOS oriented. In any case, i would like to see the gunboat for the Imps! smile

Re: Assault GunBoats

X-Wing rocked!  So did TIE Fighter, but I never got to play the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter or X-Wing Alliance sequels.

Re: Assault GunBoats

Speaking of which they better get the TIE fighter sound right, hoefully they can get that sound when it flies bye.

NEVER played XWA? That game ruled, once you got past the stupid story bit and joined the Alliance. Also, if you donwload the XWA Upgrade mod, you get modern (well, 2 years old now..) graphics.

you crazy! I've spent 10 hours plus and still need to redo it completely! making a game engine where I don't have an acces to how sound is handled to sound like a recorded elephant isn't THAT easy I tell you. There's a reason why no game has it just right (unless they simply play the sound straight off.).

I've got a solution that I'll work on when I get some time over though, but giving the right effect would mean we had to play the very sample straight off everytime a tie passed by, and we simply can't do that. nor would it sound good when a tie flew ALMOST by wink

anyway I think I'll get rather close and hope you'll agree later on.

Re: Assault GunBoats

Assault Gunboats rule. The Empire needs some sort of counterpart to the Y-Wing, and the Gunboat fits the role perfectly.

Mods and games that limit themselves to only portraying the movies simply become too shallow.

Screenies!

Funny, I was just thinking about that one! I agree, it'd make a great addition.
