Re: V-Wing and more

EU ships I'd like:

For the Rebs:

T-Wing

While I'm a big fan of the E-Wing, V-Wing, and K-Wings, they're more New Republic ships than Rebel.

For the Imps:

TIE Defender
TIE Avenger (Advanced)

As for the Gunboat, I always felt it never felt very Imperial, and the of course the Missile Boat is just WAY too overpowered...

Re: V-Wing and more

People keep asking for the TIE Advanced. Its being included, check the website.

And for the second time, the Defender is not the equivalent of the B-Wing. THE Gunboat is the equivalent of the B-Wing. The Defender isn't a heavy bomber, its a heavy fighter.

How about adding the Z-95 as well to balance it all out? Then you get this:

TIE Fighter - Z-95 Headhunter
TIE Bomber - Y-Wing
TIE Interceptor - X-Wing
TIE Advanced - A-Wing
Assault Gunboat - B-Wing

Re: V-Wing and more

I like the Tie Defender.... The gunboat looks like its from Battlestar Galactica

Come on, thats really lame looking.

I agree the Defender is more like a heavy fighter, but it can still function like a bomber. The B-wing, can't act as a fighter though, but that makes the sides different. Everyone is saying they don't want to see the sides be mirror images of eachother. To balance it out, since they were rare, put only one defender on the map with a long spawn time.

Some maps will have only movie ships in them ...some maps will have more 'exotic' fighters/ships

Re: V-Wing and more

For the record, 3 TIE fighters match an X-Wing , not one, since the TIE fighters need two shots to blow up an X-wing, give or take, and the X-wing (which has 4 cannons) can do it in 1.

Or it had something to do with the Rebel pilots being better tongue

Re: V-Wing and more

I hope you're not sticking to that weakness in the mod. While it was that way in the films, the much stronger ships of the X-Wing series made for much better gameplay.

Re: V-Wing and more

It's a balancing act.  Rest assured we'll be endevouring to find the right medium between gameplay and lore.  Overall though a lot of it will come down to player counts.  After all, the empire had millions of players on its team.  At most we'll have 32 smile
