Kurgan Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Lacking something to save a pilot when he "ejects" in atmosphere would be quite an oversight for the militaries of Star Wars. I think the only reason you don't see one is that nobody ever used one in the movies, so lacking imagination or the go-head from a (foolish) LucasFilm continuity suit person, they just don't give you one. They could give you a limited fuel pack that goes away as soon as you land safely, or a repulsor pack, or just about any "futuristic" varient of a parachute. Sure, in space, it would make sense for the guy to just eject in his space suit, but even then he's going to be floating around for awhile until he dies, unless he has a transponder and a thruster pack (jetpack). That's why real atronaunts have either a tether or a jetpack so they don't miss a hand hold and just float away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Never played BF1942 eh? Parachutes were such annoyances. They STOLE your kills. If they're available, do it like Forgotten Hope, have some specific kit with parachutes only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another problem with parachutes is that people take planes for transportation only, and then just jump out in the air, wasting the vehicle.

LukeKatarn Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I do that sometimes, only to get places quick. I useuelly don't do it when playing on a server with tons of people, just by myself, or with people I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Yes such a waste. A fully armed Stuka with full hp wasted like that... The best example of a nice map that has parachutes and that people actually used like they should is the Crete 1941 map of Forgotten hope where I saw pilots NOT ditching the plane but rather go back to the german main base to pick up more paratroopers.

Kurgan Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Now that we are talking about this, why can't the other Troopers have "shock absorbers" built into their armor like the Jetpack trooper and the (I assume) Dark trooper? ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Now that you mention it, perhaps I should try bailing out using a Jet trooper or Dark trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Dark Troopers and Jet Troopers do not take falling damage (even with jetpack off), so they're really good at bailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 So people can't complain about having parchutes are not anymore! Just play either the Clone Jet Pack Trooper or the Dark Trooper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan_sniper Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I have attempted numerous timees to do this, but...is there anyway to get ontop of an at-at? Ive tried a bunch on rhen-varr, by first starting as a darktrooper, driving an at-at to a cliff, gettin out, getting on the cliff, then rocketing up to land on the at-at's back.....and over shoot. Could anybody try for me? I want to Shoot at the fools scampering about beneath me as i obliterate them from above, hahah! Right. could somebody also attempt to fly a rebel snowspeeder up to land on The back of an AT-at, plz? tnx alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 You can get on it with a Dark Trooper, I know, because I've done it. Just jump on the head first. It's lower than the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaemz Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I have tried to land a T-47 (snowspeeder) on the back of an AT-AT, several times... as a Rebel Pilot and as an Imperial Pilot in a stolen T-47, you blow up as soon as the speeder sets down on the AT-AT. I play the PS2 version, but I am guessing it is the same across all the platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just play either the Clone Jet Pack Trooper or the Dark Trooper! That's what I do on Bespin platforms and usually I bail and capture both enemy rear command posts before they know what's going on.

I hate that. You also have jettroopers trying to take over the rear points. I know that it helps a lot defeating the enemy, but because of this platforms can get a very dull walk and take over map, with almost no fighting going on. You can do the same on mos eisley: play a jetpacktrooper and keep taking over the enemy's rear points and I guarantee that you will not have a good game.

I've got the AI on hard though, so it is a challenge, 'cause once I capture both, I have to constantly run back and forth to fight them off.

Amen, sis'. Forgotten Hope rules. I especially like the pilot class, the P-38, the sea planes, and the ships with torpedo-throwing racks on their decks:D.

In Galactic Conquest and Battle Field 1942it's pretty risky to ride shotgun on a tank during battle. Much safer to just run behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
