Topic: Just two issues I found in space battles...

The first one isnt that bad, but it would be very very helpful if it was fixed: whenever you get hit by a blaster bolt, yeah, it shows in which direction your being shot at (red arrow) and you see your health go down, but you dont hear anything, and before you know it, your dead before you even know your being shot at. Can you guys make sounds for the pilot that indicates them being hit? Like, maybe the crushing of metal or a ricochette sound or a small bang or boom, or hail, maybe even R2 squeeling (mind you, that sound want be the same with TIEs, but Im sure we can figure somthing out). Maybe make some sparks fly about in the cockpit and flare out into space, like in the movies.

The other thing is, well, the B-Wing...I love it...but it bugs me to no end that the blaster bolts are coming from the right hand side. When the B-Wing opens up its S-Foils, it turns upright; from the horizontal mode (when the cockpit is parrallel with the rest of the fighter) to vertical (when the cockpit is perpendicular to the rest of the fighter, with a cannon below it to the right, below it to the left, and a cannon still parrallel with the pilot.) You know what Im getting at? It is kinda hard to explain what the B-Wing is behaving like and what it should be behaving like.

Heres a pic...

For the B-Wing, this is fairly undocumented or not widely known at the moment, but I believe holding the X key rotates the s-foils around the cockpit.

Re: Just two issues I found in space battles...

Its easier to show what you mean if you switch camera views to see the whole ship. And yes the body is on the right. Of course, and I think you're saying that you don't like it like that and it should move, right? Well it can, hold the countermeasures button(default X) and it rotates clokwise.

Re: Just two issues I found in space battles...

see what? that the cannons are shooting from the sides rather than from where they are supposed to be smile ?

Is there anyway to fix this, or should I just hold down X?

Re: Just two issues I found in space battles...

TiePilot, when I hold down X, do I have to continue to hold it down to keet it at a desired position? Or is it locked into place?

Re: Just two issues I found in space battles...

Ok, press C...That should switch you into 3rd person view. Make sure you've moved though so everything unfolds. Then, hold down X, you should see the body of the B-Wing rotate clockwise around the cockpit.

EDIT: It stops wherever it was when you stop holding down the key. You can place the body above, below, left, right and anywhere inbetween
