Re: Artillery in FS?

I like the idea of an ISD's orbital bombardment for Imperial artillery, but what about for the Rebels? Also, how do you destroy artillery when it's out in space? Perhaps disrupt a communicator on the ground that transmits the coordinates, etc. for the orbital strike?

Re: Artillery in FS?

destroy the probe droid (dropped like supply crate) before it sends its message. The rebels could have a thermal detonator suicide Durga Durga Droid. hm.. maybe not. Pestering protocol droid decoys? Ah! A Kamakaze Awing!

Re: Artillery in FS?

But wouldn't a Probe Droid floating down from the sky kinda be too much of a tip-off to the Rebels that gee, they need to get out of this area unless they can hit the Probe Droid? I mean, in BF2, you have no warning at all as to where the Artillery strike will be. Artillery strikes would be significantly less effective if there is such a huge sign given to the Rebels as to where they will be.

I'd suggest having something like a communicator antenna at the Imperial base that is used by the Commander to transmit the coordinates for the bombardment to the orbiting Star Destroyer. Destroying the antenna would cut off the Commander's ability to order Artillery strikes.

Re: Artillery in FS?

Orbital bombardment is a good idea (capital ship bombardment in space maps)

Also the Rebels could use mortars.

Or a Y-wing squadron drops proton bombs all over for the rebels.

Re: Artillery in FS?

What about when there isn't air support, like on Hoth or Endor?
