Re: Discussion: The Battle of Yavin, who needs a trench?

There WERE turrets in the trench, they were further from the port though. They stopped firing as the Ties dropped in to kill the Rebels- leading the rebels to exclaim: 'the guns have stopped!'

Okay I watched the movie again and your right. But the turrets weren't on the ground the were on the sides of the trench and next to the port.

So are the turrets on battle of yavin at the trench, the turrets infront the exhaust port are non-controllable and may or not open fire automaticly, i never noticed em firing.

Re: Discussion: The Battle of Yavin, who needs a trench?

its a bug that they're working on. When the turrets fire automaticly, they don't have a projectile. Which makes it really aggrivating for making the trench runs alone... they kill you right as you fly over...

Re: Discussion: The Battle of Yavin, who needs a trench?

The solution is pretty simple:


*add an invisible collision mesh to the open top of the trench
*it's one-sided, so fighters can exit the trench at any time but can only enter at a specific area which can be indicated on the mini map

That way players are forced to make an attack run properly.

Also all turrets should be removed from the trench.

Re: Discussion: The Battle of Yavin, who needs a trench?

The turrets were apparently added to prevent players from just sitting there waiting for the deflection tower to be destroyed so they can just get the shot off... I would suggest moving the turrets out of the trench but near the exhaust port so that they can't shoot in the trench but they can hit people waiting out of it... also, how would the tie's be able to enter the trench freely from anywhere?

Turbolasers should be useless. They are made to kill capital ships. They kill nothing in the movie. I'm annoyed when I see it making 20 kills.
