Re: FS Instructional videos

The exhaust towers have more HPs on the maps for more players, I believe. Run Yavin 16 and see if that helps. Having said that, a practice map where the exhaust port was unshielded from the get-go would be nice to have.

Cheers Safe, can't remember what size I chose, so I'll give it a try.  And sorry for shooting you down the other day, just as you were starting your trench run big_smile.  Man, I love them turrets!

Re: FS Instructional videos

tip 1: the Y-wing proton torps reload over time. Fire off your 4 shots at defection towers, then fly around for a while, shoot some ties, some turrets, cover your buddies. Then bomb them again.

tip 2: some turrets are indestructible. boo-erns.

tip 3: I found you'll have to nose up and then be coming DOWN towards the exhaust port.  Press Alt to get rid of the imperial icon- it wont help you. The port is below the icon, almost on the floor of the trench. a shot that impacts the back of the port will be considered to go in.

Re: FS Instructional videos

A video with some basic flight tipps would be cool.

A-Wing:
Use it´s superior speed to outpower imperial forces.
But be carefull only a few hit´s and your litle flight lesson´ll end like the Deathstar ...

A "How to blow up the Death Star" Video would be cool too ^^
especialy the Death Star Trench run smile

Links to instruction movies added to article on Lambda shuttle smile

I still say feel need a Tactics and Guides section.
