Topic: If the Imps have the Lancer...

If the Imperials will sport the Lancer as their anti-fighter platform, is there any chance the Rebels may get their paws on the Correlian Gunship (screnshots)?

It's a very potent anti-fighter ship with her, what, ten turrets, and should perform nicely. Since it's just a Corvette-strength ship as opposed to a Cruiser, though, I suppose you'll have to give the Alliance two or maybe even three of them instead of just one.

She'll have to be made so that each gunner controls more than one turret (the two flank turrets on each side could be controlled by one person, for example), but besides from that, she should work nicely.

     That's one gun-bristling warship right there.

PS: How many positions can BF2142 vehicles be given, anyway? Is it still just six, or did they increase the number?

Re: If the Imps have the Lancer...

I think the Rebels could make more use of the Corellian Corvette, although this one looks nice too, I think the Corvette is just 1337 looking tongue

Oh well never a problem with too many vehicles, so who knows, one day.. tongue

Re: If the Imps have the Lancer...

Yes, but I consider the Corvette to be more of an all-round ship and should be given heavier, slower-firing guns (in the XWA UP screnshots, she appears to have two twin turbo lasers for anti-capital ship use and 2x3 lighter single-barrel anti-fighter guns). The specific anti-fighter role should go to the Gunship, I feel. But that's just my opinion.

There's only 6 buttons - but there's only 9 weapon buttons and you can have more than that (using the cycle weapons key). However, since there's no cycle seat key we might be limited to six (unless you can stick two vehicles together?)

Re: If the Imps have the Lancer...

It's actually the other way ariound i believe the two turreta are anti fighter and the single-barreled anti-ship.
