Re: no k-wing?

Because TIE Defenders actually look like true TIE designs, they aren't inbred mutant offspring.

They are like genetically enhanced super TIEs.

E-Wing is nice, but I don't see the relation to the K-Wing from it, except in color. It looks more like an Xwing which I think it was supposed to replace?

The K-Wing seems to have a crew of several people and quite a hefty size, so I'd compare it more to a Skipray Blastboat, a "mini-capital ship" which I've pestered devs to include in F.S. for the longest time tongue . It has a crew of several people, is quite large, and comes with a hefty twin-barrelled laser turret and several-forward firing cannons and warhead launchers. Adding a Skipray to one side and, say, a YT-1300 to the other in a Taloraan-like space map would be... interesting.

The E-Wing, however, is more of a reincarnation of the X-Wing fighter. No comparison at all to the K-Wing in my eyes.

Didn't notice there was a page 2 XD

The K-wing actually has 2 turrets SK, one on top of the main cockpit... surface, and that other one on the bottom...

I see like 5 crew positions on there, rediculous.

Skipray would be neat, but does it really compare to a modified[millenium falcon] YT-1300 ? I would give the Empire something a bit more awesome like a REAL mini cap ship, some sort of antifighter gunplatform... I mean come on, the Millenium falcon, modified YT-1300 is a beast.

ATR- assault transports are pretty huge. Lots of antifighter gun positions as I recall from trying to kill them back in the xwa days.

They also have a lot of heavy anti starship punch, which could be given to the designated driver. Finally- a modelled interior showing a pilot, possibly 4 or 5 weapons platforms would be the awesome. You could look around the bridge and see the crew and the rows of (static models-not players) stormtroopers seated behind you and use right mouse to look into your weapons' gunsights and shoot at stuff.

Ok, I give up. Everybody has his own taste. But where do you see 5 crew positions? One pilot, one bombardier and two gunners.

And about the modified YT-1300 (Millenium falcon), did the Rebels used them regulary?

Once again Ty, you show your complete lack of knowledge of the Star Wars universe. It's not a cook, its a maid tongue

Seriously though, pilot, navigator, two gunners, bombadier and a droid port to plug Ty in to! big_smile

Love the new avatar Ty cool
