Re: Fighter Armaments/Stats: Suggestions

Well if the defenders weren't really used as much besides the fight over endor, why not ONLY put them in that battle, I imagine it would be mostly dog fighting...  if there was only one squadron of them there only needs to be one Tie defender, give it a slow respawn since its power... and give the rebels some sort of advantage of thier own, like repair ships, or faster respawns. 

Or of course an objective mode would work too, but that has already been done like 1,000,000 times.

I have always enjoyed objective mode, it promotes teamwork imho.

I don't mean objective mode in general, I mean objecive mode as in destroying advanced Ties, its in Tie Fighter, and its in GC.  I like objective mode too, but destroying Tie fighters seems repetitive, and unoriginal.

Some of the technical info I've been seeing on quite a few threads have been off by quite a bit.

Most of the tech info posted is from the X-Wing series. They're not accurate to the films by any stretch (major examples being capship speed). And pretty much every other star wars game has tkane its info from the original X-Wing. And the idea of this mod is to be based on the films, using the games a secondary resource.

Finally, you have to remember that there is no, e.g, "accurate" speed for anything, as Lucas never mentioned it. The space scenes in the films are relatively few.

In fact, the X-wing series of books are so off base, that even the Authors admitted how wrong they were. They only made certain situations to favor the outcome of the main story characters.

The priorities hasnt changed 1 bit. We havent got round to balancing out vehicles or giving them their proper stats. So , therefore , we havent scrutinized any stats yet.

Sweet. That's great to hear. I was just getting a little concerned about the amount of misinformation I've been seeing on the threads. I didn't mean to insult anyone. Sorry about that.:P

Yeah, the comics, games and novels are too often quoted as gospel despite some of the major contradicitons. There is, however, a couple official sources that have been released in the past regarding technical specifications including max speed.
