Re: A-Wing's lasers

No.

1) Nothing to aim with.
2) In Y-Wing you have about 3-4 times as much armor, AND you have aiming reticle, AND you are not moving.
3) You will never get a kill out of it or hardly ever even hit them at all.

And it's probably just not gunna happen. Devs have better things to do than add spinning laser cannons that aren't even going to do much.

Re: A-Wing's lasers

The problem would be I think (im not a coder) that you can only turn them one way, but its pretty nice even then, if you don't like it just leave em in the stock position, good idea! big_smile

Re: A-Wing's lasers

Meh, I don't think its needed gameplay-wise. Still, it would add some dexterity to the 1HP fighter on crack smile. I think it might balance it out actually cause its so vulnerable that I can normally kill them at long ranges with two well placed shots.

This idea is better than giving it more armor and missiles (concussion missiles would REALLY change up the dogfighting mechanics) smile.

I want dah TIE-Defender!!!! wink

EDIT: Oh yeah you're gonna have to find a way to aim that sucker...

Fџck, Ty, your abrasive posting style is starting to piss me off.  The devs need to tighten your leash, frankly.

Re: A-Wing's lasers

to hit someone behind you would be insanely hard.. it would be nicer to have a fighter with a rear gunner seat.  Y wing is a good example.  Get me and a good friend in Y wing I gun... man people get pissed.. were owning everyone....

And canadiens take a chill pill.  he has every right to his opinion, And frankly I agree with him... since there's hardly anyway to aim backwards to hit someone unless there right on your tail... and somehow your not dead since you die in like 2-3 hits in A wing...  Then MABYE you might beable to kill them... but Since it's one of the fastest most maneuverable ship's you shouldn't have a problem getting behind the enemy
