Topic: Vehicles (Star Wing ftw!) and Prison map

-For Tatooine you could add a Skyhopper, maybe in a barn in neutral area so anyone may use;
-Add the Alpha-Class Xg-1 Star Wing (Which has shield and hyperspace drive) to a deep space map for the Imps (Straying from the fragile, overused TIEs; can be used to create balance with B Wing); You may need to Wookiepedia it
-Rebel swoop to counter Imp's speederbike;
-TIE Defender
-NOT V-wing (Hours of failed missions in the flying death-cage-thing)

-And a prison map.  Possibly taking place on Kessel.  It starts off with one person spawning outside a landed Y Wing, which had just been used to disable the Armored Hover Train thing.  He quickly saves his comrades in the train, and then together they retake the Imperial Correctional Facility.

I at least ask for the Xg-1 Star Wing, revive it from it's death after STAR WARS: TIE Fighter.  Don't overwork yourselves though.

Star Wing.  Please.

No Aircraft will be added to Mos Espa, they are totally unnecessary

-Add the Alpha-Class Xg-1 Star Wing (Which has shield and hyperspace drive) to a deep space map for the Imps (Straying from the fragile, overused TIEs; can be used to create balance with B Wing);

I believe this is one of RedMonkeys favourite imperial starfighter (if my memory serves me), as our starship modeller, I would think ther was a good chance it will be made.

-Rebel swoop to counter Imp's speederbike;

I personally don't think that rebel swoop bikes are necessary. The asymmetrical balance of FS is what makes it interesting.

-TIE Defender

The TIE Defender was modelled at some point, but we have had no need for it yet.

-NOT V-wing (Hours of failed missions in the flying death-cage-thing)

The V-wing in the orriginal rogue squadron was great what are you talking about? You can't not love seaker cluster missiles. (I can finish the first mission using the V-wing in <20seconds)

-And a prison map.  Possibly taking place on Kessel.  It starts off with one person spawning outside a landed Y Wing, which had just been used to disable the Armored Hover Train thing.  He quickly saves his comrades in the train, and then together they retake the Imperial Correctional Facility.

I plan on making a kessel map one day, its just a matter of time and resources.

Re: Vehicles (Star Wing ftw!) and Prison map

Cygnus Spacework XG-1 Assault Gunboat: I'd love to see this in. This and the (going OT, sorry) Skipray Blastboat. The Gunboat has roughly the weapons of the Y-Wing (twin lasers, twin ions, twin torpedo launchers), or at least did in the X-Wing series, and would as such be a good counterpart. Oh, and she didn't die after TIE Fighter, she died after X-Wing Alliance, which, as a side note, has so many great craft I'd love to see carried over to FS that it's scary. I love that they added the Bulk Freighter smile .

The TIE Defender is a super-fighter and I think it would be very overpowered if added, so I'm surprised the devs are considering it. I'm not saying it can't be balanced, but we'll see.

The V-Wing... I really have no feelings for or against. It's not high on my list, but I wouldn't dislike it being added either.

As for the Kessel idea... something I've been thinking a lot about is a hover train, with carries like troop cars (spawn points), artillery cars with turrets, 'box cars' with supplies that rearm, heal or repair, etc. Making a vehicle that has to follow rails takes a lot of coding, though, unless perhaps the devs made the rail completely straight.

Maybe Kessel could be some sort of escort map, with the Rebels having to get a Hover Train or 50% of their Freerunners or something from the prison to a pickup point? Might be a bit hard to balance, but I think it'd be fun if made right.

The swoop bike is something else I've been wanting to see added. It could be a one-seater instead of two-seater and unarmed, but faster than the speeder bike and maybe heavier armoured or something.

hey.. hes not really demanding anything, just suggesting and asking nicely smile

As for the Star-wing, I think that would be a great addition. It's an awesome ship, though i've never seen it very much.

How could you not want the V-wing, its so sexy! big_smile

Re: Vehicles (Star Wing ftw!) and Prison map

Hey there!

So yeah, the Cygnus Spaceworks Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing Assault Gunboat, definitely one of my favorite ships.  Although I haven't played TIE Fighter in nearly a decade...

And the V Wing airspeeder.  It was an amazing fighter, so long as you still had the Cluster Missiles.  As soon as you were without...  The guns overheat quickly and there were no shields, the thing was basically your coffin.

And for the B/X Wings, could the countermeasures be used to control the S-Foils?  Sometimes I enjoy having them closed while not in combat, but I'd like to be able to move with them closed.  The boost button could be used for the B-Wing's rotation instead.
