Guest LIZZO Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 Okay, so apparently the Falcon is the fastest (and most unreliable) ship in the galaxy. Everywhere you turn this is mentioned and even the tech room in XWA it's the fastest in the galaxy, but then when you finally fly the Falcon in Battle 7 it is only as fast as an X-Wing. I was expecting speeds of up to 200+ when you redirected all power to engines and it was well short. I think they should have made the Falcon extremely fast otherwise what makes it more spectacular than any other ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nob Akimoto Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 The mention of "fastest ship" is at hyperspace velocities and doesn't apply to sublight speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold leader Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 Exactly. The Falcon has a 0.5 class hyperdrive engine. Most imperial ships don't even have a 1 class one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarch Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 An ISD in ESB (Avenger?) could easily keep up with the Falcon at sub-light speeds. Though it would have been nice if it had had a few surprises. ------------------ 'Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it...'

Flying Beastie Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Actually, the Falcon is supposed to be very manoeuverable at sublight, as in outmanouvering TIEs. ------------------ Breath deep, seek peace --Traditional Dinotopian saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marril Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Unless you have a beam weapon totally redirected to engines, I don't think ANY ship can go past 200 MGLTs... Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LIZZO Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 In Star Wars episode Three Han says he can outrun ties in it and implies that the Falcon is very manoeuverable (is that how you spell it?). Yes I suppose it can outrun ties but any starfighter is more maneuverable than the Falcon. I just wanted a really fast ship which is the reputation the Falcon has gained. ------------------ -"But master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future." - "But not at the expense of the moment, Young Padawan" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toscan Posted June 7, 2000 Share Posted June 7, 2000 For a fast ship, you should look at the Tie Defender with a beam system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
