Re: Fighter Armaments/Stats: Suggestions

So mechag, what do you think about the cannons ? By the way i'm sorry, I thought when I saw armaments/stats I was thinking that this was 3 seperate sections fighters, armaments, and stats. My apologies.

Hey no worries, there's no apology needed. smile

The Y-wing is capable of being equipped Taim & Bak IX4 laser cannons just like the X-wing. Although the X-wing carries four while the Y-wing carries two. By default, the Y-wing is armed with two Taim and Bak KX5 laser cannons, and if memory serves me right, are more powerful than the Taim & Bak IX4 and KX9 (both which can be equipped on the X-wing; only the X-wing is eqiupped with four cannons). I'll have to double check my reference material to know for sure.

The Y-wing's ArMek SW-4 twin ion cannon (single fire or fire-linked), on rotating turret is a very powerful ion cannon assembly. The B-wing features 3 ArMek SW-7a ion cannons (default config) which are more powerful and are fire-linked only.

I'll be back to give a detailed craft description of the Y-wing hopefully within the next couple days on the "Implementing basic fighter tactics in the game: Y-wings" thread.

I'll be back.
