I've given Jerk's idea on targeting computers some thought, and it's a good one. But yes, show everything, asteroids, planet surface, infantry, whatever the Heck. If it could be rendered as wireframes the way the "real" computers rendered it, that'd be even better.

The B-Wing is a heavy bomber. Hence the heavy armament.

No, because it's very impeded if made according to the movies:

Not to mention it's all wire-frame rather than actual models, if that's somehow possible to make in-game, which it probably isn't. Either way, it's an impeded view, and it won't let you look around you. So it'd be for attack runs only.

I'm not thinking about the ridiculously over-powered computer in the Rogue Squadron games.

Hmm... You've got a point with the wireframes... But how are they going to be rendered? The wireframe rendering would be really tricky to get right... Though it's possible in the HL2 engine it might not be in the BF2142 one. Maybe when you change to that mode the game's entire rendering thing switches to the wireframes. It would have to be clientside to work. This again could maybe give cheaters a hole for hacking..?

EDIT: I think I just found it out: When in the targeting computer mode EVERYTHING gets rendered in wireframes and all the features I said to help you aim like the beep noise that tells you to shoot when you'd land a hit... But you can't see the damage your fighter has taken and you don't have any instruments for navigating, so you'd still need the normal view for those things.
