Re: Community game today!

Best part of Round 1 was to sit in the Lancer and seeing the swarm of Rebel fighter craft that suddenly materialized on my minimap cool . I was flying along peacefully thinking it'd be a while before combat engagements, but expecting maybe a fighter or two, and then suddenly we're assailed by what looks like every fighter the Rebels have big_smile ! We fought them off, though - their surprise attack did not deter our intended fleet strike!

I remember being in the last remaining imp cruiser at one point, I managed to take out a corellian corvette before being destroyed.

Re: Community game today!

Who was flying the Imperial Freighter anyway?... I just remember people saying how much of a idiot he was... But Taloraan was a pretty good battle. Usualy its so boring since it takes forever to finish.. But in the 1st Taloraan round, who rammed the Lancer into the Corvette in the end?

Re: Community game today!

It was a Carrack. And that was me, as you can see in the screenies. I tried to get in front of the freighter so I could cover her since she decided to charge the enemy fleet, and this brought me too close to the Rebel fleet, and I decided to go right at them and pummel the freighter with torpedoes. Which I failed to do. In hindsight a pretty stupid move hmm .

Hmmm... it occurred to me that space maps aren't all that intuitive for newbies to grasp. I may have some ideas, though..

Re: Community game today!

does ramming the capitol ships do much damage. I did it last week on the Friday community games and destroyed it.

Re: Community game today!

Well, it destroyed my ship, but I'm not sure if that was the ramming or the fact that the entire Rebel fleet seemed to be firing at me.

But no, it's typically not crippling. This isn't Bridge Commander, where ramming takes out half your weapons and ship systems and leaves both ships pretty much disabled for the rest of the fight.
