Does engine wash do damage ONLY to the player craft? Because I once picked up a disabled pilot and left him behind the Liberty's engine. He didn't pop.

LOL! They're fun to abuse! Pick 'em up and leave a large collection of 'em inforont of an enemy station, then blow up the station. ^_^

That's right. I disabled the Imp pilot and picked him up. Then I released him behind the Liberty's engine. Right in the blue glow. Since he didn't explode, I just simply shot him. So, anyway...does engine wash only affect the player craft?

I think so, even though some strategy guides say never to go in a capship's engine wash unless you're desperate to shake some unshielded TIEs off your tail. that never works for me, so...

Why is it that whenever someone says SOL I am always in trouble... whether it be Standards of Learning or (the other version). I'm always screwed.

I've heard of that strategy before. But does it really work? I mean, computer TIEs don't get damaged. As for multiplayer, I think human opponents know better.

I remember in the demo, when the cheat came out telling us how to switch the container transports with the Mon Cal Cruiser, that the TIEs would die in the engine wash. But i've never seen in happen in the full version of the game.

 

I took all the piolits i could find that were imperial and put them in the hangar of a disabled ISD. It was fun watching them fly out as explosions pushed them out smile.gif

Engine wash does only affect the player. I can't count the number of times I have dogfighted TIEs behind an SSD. I was roasting, but the TIEs were not. Friendly AI craft are also not affected by engine wash.

That's something they need a patch to fix.

I like to fly behind the Liberty on purpose just to see my ship's cockpit rumble.

 

Pretend you are carrying a container and you fly behind a cruiser's engine. Will the container get damaged as well?
