Re: Commander Deployables

Its not a bad idea mate, but the devs have already stated it wont be possible for them to do space and land on the same map. I don't know why though....my idea seems like it would work okay lol

Re: Commander Deployables

I was just suggesting incase it was too difficult for them to do so.(I am aware that the FS team are good)

Re: Commander Deployables

Just a thought on controlling multiple ship turrets... to be more in line with the feeling of the movies...

Have each position man 4-10 turrets, but have some/most deviate enough to give you the sensation of being immersed in "random" cover fire.

downside... frustrating TKs... solution: turrets with high deviation get very low damage amounts.

It's not Camping anymore, it's "Strategic Defense".

Re: Commander Deployables

I just hope you guys are not thinking of having 50 turrets on either side of the ship. Because that itself I think would cause some lag.

Re: Commander Deployables

There aren't many Cap ships in Star Wars that have that many anyways. Maybe Star Destroyers do but thats the biggest ship that will fit in BF so I don't think there will be any 50 turrets per side on any ship...

Re: Commander Deployables

Star Destroyers and Calamarian Cruisers should be bristling with guns. Maybe not fifty, but they should be a nightmare to be around for fighters. I liked how TIE Fighter made capital ships and space stations truly horrific to get up close to, and I disliked how Star Destroyers were sitting ducks to fighters in X-Wing Alliance.

Cap ships should be very, very hard to take down for fighters and bombers. How to implement the many guns, I don't know. Manning multiple guns, the way you do it on Battleships in FH, has been suggested, as have auto-guns, I think.

Oh, and the Lancer has twenty anti-fighter guns, so that's one ship that's got a lot of weaponry. Just as a side note.

Re: Commander Deployables

I would rather have a capital ship to fight against that is fun and new to kill every time, then make it exactly like the book specs.
