Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

would the devs prefer to go into the clone wars period or the new republic period. A lot of the weapons are the same because of fighting with the imp remnant and a lot of cool vehicle's are just developed just after the fall of the empire, so  i would prefer the new republic.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

There is such a range of aircraft in SW that there is no reason to have star fighters on ground maps.

Except there's nothing wrong with having starfighters in ground maps. That's like saying that there are so many vehicles in Star Wars that there's no reason to have AT-STs and AT-AT walkers.

Do starfighters perform poorly in atmosphere? Fine, then let them perform poorly in atmosphere. They'll still work just fine.

As for future releases, I'd prefer the New Republic Era over the Prequel Era.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

if they perform poorly then they dont work just fine. I didnt say there was anything wrong with it, i was saying that it gives more variety.

Also wookiepedia says the at galactic civil war did not end until a while after the new republic had been formed. What do the devs think about this or will first strike only go up to the death of the emperor.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

We already go beyond the Death of the Emperor in some cases, but I would say that the taking of Imperial Center pretty much ended the GCW, as that is when the Empire really became more of a remnant threat and a terrorist organization than a true government.  I suppose it could also be fairly argued that the GCW didn't end until the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty was signed between the Empire and the New Republic in 19ABY but it really was over long before that I think.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

I dont mind how the devs go with this as the mod is great already. But after the devs have finished with this period it would be interesting to have the sides in reverse positions.

Re: Starfighters on Ground Maps

As for the Hoth arguement, I believe that both the X-Wing and Y-Wing faced great difficulty operating in Hoth's atmosphere due to a number of reasons, the biggest of course being the harsh cold.
