How is escape from Hoth working?
Do 2 of the 4 transports have to reach the jump point?
We had a guy who made it with 1 transport to that point but nothing happend. He got killed some minutes later by the imperial fighters while he was sitting there.

The Rebels need to fly 50% of the transports to the bouy floating behind the ISD. The Gallofree (transport) needs to essentially aim for that bouy as if he was going to ram it, when he gets close enough, the transport will escape and you'll then be sent back to the respawn map. Currently we have no effects for the Gallofree to 'escape' so it simply disappears. That will be something we'll incoporate into R2.

And what are the "weapons" that the freighter and transport pilots have. All they do is a buzzing sound and loosing the energy. First I thought these were some kinds of shilds, but there was no difference when I used them under fire.

Primary attack will operate the 'top' shields, secondary fire operates the 'bottom' shields. These do run out quickly, so you need to time the use of these shields. Normally when you have a load of tie bombers and little support you put them on full and hope that your turrets take them out or you get support from fighters.

That depends which droid you have, each droid will provide different functions, some will heal, repair, scout and fire.

Re: Thoughts after playing for the first time

The kits have really confused they hell out of me and some of the other Aussies, so i think a guide to the kits is in order

Don't forget that half the fun of a new game (and yes, I would go as far as to call FS anew game wink ) is learning all of the new weapons and maps

Can't wait to get home and frag with y'all on the public maps

Re: Thoughts after playing for the first time

Love the mod.  Great fun.  Space battles are spot on I think.

A couple minor issues like getting a CTD on Endor map, but nothing major.

I too agree that a nice First Strike Guide is in order.   I have a clan full of old guys that will get frustrated fast and not play if they don't "understand" what is going on. LOL

Fantastic work FS team!!!!!!

Re: Thoughts after playing for the first time

+hey  guys just want to say i love it i am a starwars freak and i do think it is so awsomeci do agree it is a little laggy hopefully that will fix down the road but other then tha great job and keep up the good work

Re: Thoughts after playing for the first time

Do i need to turn on dynamic lightning to see the tracer lights from the blasters?

Anyway... great stuff.. havent played alot. But this is what i got till now:

- 1st server with the map in the woords... started lagging more and more untill i lost connection. The ping was low but i think it was server sided (maybe not a dedicated one?). What is saw i liked veeeery much though

- 2nd server with the Spacemap... i wasnt too happy when i sat in that big mothership and in couldnt get out.. that be a turret till you die thing.. i takes away alot of freedom. In the previous starwars mod (wich wasnt yours)  you could walk through ships and get into a xwing or whatever. Will that ever be possible?
The scenery was like watching an action scene of the new battlestar galactica show wich i love... GREAT! Flying is very cool also!!

- music is proffesional and great

- Menu's are stylish

Im trying to spread the news about first strike coming out today, hope people pick it up. Ok im off to play some more.
