Re: Love/hate?

The higher they fly, the easier they are to shoot from the sky...

This, coupled with their low hit points and the fact that they take out everything next to them when they explode, be it friend or foe, acts as a nice balancing factor to their flight capabilities, I've found.

Re: Love/hate?

True, many a time have I sacked off firing at a foe to shoot at the easier target of the Speederbike parked next to him and then sat back and watched the fireworks.

Re: Love/hate?

Yea watching speeders explode slowly is rather satisfying, but anyways....

Shooting the lambda with the DEMP2 on ryloth and watching it helplessly drop to the ground still closed.

Re: Love/hate?

Hate: when I land an aircraft and some dork proceeds to refer to the landing as a 'crash'.

When I touch down on a hidden beach with my Lambda and then offload a squad of soldiers who then take a CP, that is to be referred to as a landing. Just that the only three things you can do with an aircraft is lift it off the ground, fly it and crash it doesn't mean that every other instance of an aircraft coming into contact with a surface is a 'crash'. I don't care if I took an EMP hit on the way down, when a Lambda slowly loses altitude with its wings folded until it touches the ground that's called a landing.

(...and yes, I've got other examples of this happening, too)

Hate #2: playing Endor Strike Team and getting massacred trying to take that damned Bunker CP from the Imperials. Sometimes it's just impossible, especially when attacking SL's don't use spawn beacons or their other abilities.

Re: Love/hate?

Heh, that was a tough round, and we were using spawn beacons they were just very effective at taking them out.

Love: Dropping a Speederbike into the open air CP in the centre of Lok, shooting one of the defending Rebels as I swoop in to land with the bike's laser cannon, and then dismounting as I hit the dirt to pull my blaster and take out the other defending soldier and capture the CP.

Pure Hollywood Gold!

A likely story.

Hehe, speeder bikes and landspeeders, but especially the former, make wonderful booby traps. Bring a speeder bike or landspeeder, preferably a damaged one, somewhere and just leave it when you know enemies are on the way. When they move to take it, fire a rocket or unleash a round of blaster bolts, and boom, there go the infantry.

Re: Love/hate?

Love:

1) Pistols (because they actually feel like movie pistols, where the hero-me-can actually kill things)
2) massive blaster fights
3) Taloraan with a full player count
4) stomping around in an ATST like a chicken-walking hamsters

Hate:
1) The game engine's inability to hit anything moving faster than 12 mph
2) The inability to figure out what causes this game to crash
3) The hair I lost because of this mod
