Re: Ion cannon

Ion cannons negate shields. They're able to penetrate energy shields no problem like proton torpedoes negate energy shields. Now proton toropedoes negating particle shields, that's something else.

Re: Ion cannon

U mean Death Star I of course, cause the Death Star II had another shield and who was deactivated by the rebel forces on Endor

Re: Ion cannon

What about a cornered off back area of Echo Base that noone can get into, but timed with the Ion Cannon blast as rebel frigate thingmo flies off into space, this repeats. Would it be possible. Would better the illusion that the rebels are trying to hold the line whilst others fly off into space. I remember in the movie the cannon fired to allow the ships toe scape.

Re: Ion cannon

You gave me an idea!!

You know for the end video everyone see's the same thing. Like for the Gulf of Oman, if USA won, the camera would be hovering above a small village where you see the train and the camera is pointing towards the centre flag in a northern direction? Well howabout for Hoth, have the end video show the transports taking off if the Rebels won or the transports destroyed if the Rebels lost. Now if you don't know what I'm talking about, there's always about ten seconds of the game still playing right before the match ranks come on. That's what I mean when I say "video".

Hey, you got your Star Wars in my Star Trek!!

Re: Ion cannon

I agree with the animated static idea, that would add a lot of immersion to Hoth.  Also, I don't think that this is possible, but you guys are amazing so here goes:

      I think it would be really cool to see two X-Wings and a transport take off into the atmosphere before each ion cannon salvo.  I was thinking along the lines of how they had AI controlled, circling blackhawks.  You could do that with the X-Wings and transports, just put them on a huge loop where they come back down some where the players can't see them.  Maybe even give the rebels a ticket reduction if they are destroyed on the way up.
