Guest Imladil Posted October 20, 1999 Share Posted October 20, 1999 Well, you guys know how I am about ground dudes by now. I like to zap them up, because there's something satisfying about the flames and the screaming...I'm sure Flamin Tie would understand. Lately, I've been making a study of the collateral damage factor when applied to the different battle situations in Rogue Squadron. On some levels, like Thyferra, avoiding civilian casualties is important enough that too many stray shots can actually cost you the day. On other levels, however, the people on the ground seem to count for nothing in scoring...it can be fun, seeing which people and buildings can be destroyed and which can't. For example, on Tatooine, the buildings of Mos Eisley can be destroyed while Jabba's palace cannot...at least not within the span of time it takes me to drop bombs without getting bored. The Sarlacch, also, doesn't seem to be affected by laserfire or torpedoes. On the train simulation at Kessel, I tried blowing up the train depot in desperation one day. You can, but it doesn't stop the train from somehow offloading its cargo. The level that astonished me the most was Chandrila. Those people running around on the ground are INVINCIBLE! Laserfire does not affect them, and I have witnessed them running through Imperial bomb blasts utterly without damage. Can anybody explain to me how this works? We need to recruit some Chandrilans for the war! ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Brave "Why don't frogs have tails?" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flamin_tie Posted October 20, 1999 Share Posted October 20, 1999 I do enjoy killing the groundies, but seeing a flamin ball of TIE fighter is much more satisfying!! SHA-ZAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shootist Posted October 22, 1999 Share Posted October 22, 1999 Bang, bang, bang. I like to smoke the groundies, the Ties, bombers... If it moves, I'll shoot it. If it doesn't move, I'll paint it....THEN SHOOT IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imladil Posted October 24, 1999 Share Posted October 24, 1999 I just got back from the battle on Mon Calamari, where I did some more dude-zapping. The squid cities are utterly deserted; the inhabitants of that world must have more common sense than the rest. However, there are some civilians out lollygagging at the third city. I like to brighten up their day. ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Dude "How round is the sun?" --Little Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Corran Horn Posted October 29, 1999 Share Posted October 29, 1999 I love a head on with an Interceptor in Thyferra. Two ships, X-Wing VS TIE Interceptor, engines screaming, target in sight, watching the other fall into your cross-hair and then... FIRE! Watch that TIE burn! Watch it spin as its Twin Ion Engines over load. (Too bad you don't get a transmission from the TIE pilot saying, "I'll kill you!"

Now I blow up Russian and Chinese....hell, any enemy aircraft...that crosses my AMRAAM's path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
