When you begin to accelerate you got to attack mode, and stopping will drop you into flight mode, even  though it's stationary.

X-Wing does have 4 lasers. One cannon on teh tip of each S-foil. Laser can be fire-linked into pairs or fired individually.

I had originally posted this at the General Forums, but now that I've discovered this correct thread, I'll post the proper info here...

Here's some random glitches I've come across, not to complain (because I really really appreciate everything you've done and continue to do), but in the hopes that you'll find this information beneficial in making the best game possible:

1. Brighter Rooms
Some rooms are just too dark. Take for example Escape from Hoth, that Imperial Destroyer is gorgeous but it's lit by a 40-watt bulb. When I first played there, I looked around, took a step into darkness, and fell 100 feet onto the deck and died. After increasing my monitor brightness, then I saw where to go... but if you could help us Low-graphics users with this, it'd be much appreciated.

2. The Screams
When I first fell-down onto the Destroyer's deck and died, I screamed of course. It's only natural.

For the rest of that game, every time I spawned on the destroyer, there'd be 10 seconds of silence followed by a huge death-scream again-- like someone had just died but nobody was actually there.

Don't know if it was because of my initial fall, or some other bug, but I thought you should know.

3. Weapon Descriptions when Going Up
Moving the mouse-cursor over a weapon (in the Customize Kit window) gives you a description of the weapon. Unless you start at a lower-positioned weapon, in which case, moving the mouse cursor up to other weapons will not yield any further descriptions. So to get descriptions, you either come from the side, or go from top to bottom. A little weird, but hopefully not too difficult to fix.

Thanks again, look forward to seeing the release that is coming next from you folks...

According to the chat spammers on Tatooine, deploying an R2 or R5 unit is what causes the lag spikes.  My Squad Lead destroyed an droid we came by and sure enough, a few seconds later the lag stopped.
