Topic: Unlockable Vehicles

Can we have unlockable vehicles like the TIE:Defender and maybe a couple cameo vehicles like the Hellfire Droid? Jedi Starfighter vs. A-Wing, X-Wing vs. ARC 170, AT-AT- vs. AT-TE. If you can just imagine.

Re: Unlockable Vehicles

Nice idea, would probably work best as a Squad leader unlock... When oyu unlock the vehicle you can paradrop it in as squad leader.... Thats if Unlocks are supported in mods....

Re: Unlockable Vehicles

I'd rather see vehicles hidden in specific levels.  For instance an asteroid in the corner of a space map with a door needing several rounds of explosives to open, that would spawn a pirate fightercraft in an abandoned docking bay.

That kind of stuff adds flavour to levels.

The unlockable ships is still a good idea though.  I'd be interested to see unlockable ships based on pilot stats, though.  For instance if you're very accurate or have a great kill/death ratio with the TIE Bomber, you eventually earn a TIE Bomber with upgraded shielding, maybe some more armorment, and distinctive squadron markings.

Distinguishable squadron markings for unlocked ships would kick pie actually.  To be a Rebel fighter pilot and see a TIE with 181st-style marking would surely strike fear into you and you know you're after a superior pilot.

Re: Unlockable Vehicles

I dig the unlockable vehicles being dropped in . However, unlocks arnt available to mods sad

I smell SWBF 2.

Meh, giving the skilled player something to flaunt in-game is hardly a bad thing.  As for SWBF2 I haven't played it, but the first one was crap.

The only thing I wish the mod team would take away from the SWBF series is the lovely special effects.  Those explosions were really well done.
