nova_wolf Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Looking back over the topic, I noticed this little gem... Originally posted by Tigris: We, the 181st like the Tie Interceptor most. He's just fast, well armed and blasts any Rebel Scum to death... Anyone who says they'll ever forget their first encounter with a TIE is lieing, that sound is everlasting! Still: Greetings to Nova, Wraith and Rogue Sqd.- We'll meet again and only our pilots will be able to tell of it. Yub, Yub Commander Cheers for the hello - cant say the feelings mutual - you guys are good, but we're better. And, err - last time I met a 181st TIE/I, I blew him to crap !!! He got a twin burst of All Linked 3 Ions and 3 Blasters ! HE wont EVER remember his first encounter with Nova Squadron !!! And as for meeting you guys again - no thanks, we got bigger fish to fry - try your BASE OF OPS STARSHIP !!!! Try finding the Rogues and Wraiths if you aint got no Base of Ops to ferry your non-hyperdrive equipped starfighters ! ------------------ Nove Squadron, Elite B-Wing flight group stationed aboard the MC Oracle, home of the tech library.

Tigris Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 At least the same importance is the skill of the pilots... And who had better training? Rebels shooting wombrats or us Imperials in the best simulators? So... And why are those Nove(should really be an "a" there) still suffering so high casualties? I spend more time counting extra-vehiculars than actually fighting them... And those warhead you use against Capitals: No missle can outfly me in my Tie Inteceptor... And just think about the Missleboat with engaged Slams!!! NOW THAT IS ACCELERATION!!! There went the only possibility those rebel pretenders had...

nova_wolf Posted November 29, 2000 Share Posted November 29, 2000 I don't believe ! Nova (novA - okay - I corrected it - check my sig.), one of the best ubits in the New Republic fleet, is being falmed by a newbie with all of, um, lets see - FIVE posts ! Chewbaca will be spinning in his grave ! It's just this sort of disregard for the B-wing that has finally made me decide to write the history behind it (see the XWA Movies forum, 'Enter the B-Wing' for more details). And as for Eclipse II - istn't that just a little bit of over kill ? And Eclipse isn't exactly *****-whipped ! Even we at Nova start to crap ourselves when that word is mentioned in conjunction with 'class destroyer'. ell - Home 1 would chicken out.... ------------------ Nova Squadron, the Elite B-Wing flight group stationed aboard the Nebulon B Frigate 'Oracle', home of the tech library.

So when I'm out there shooting your friends to pieces - you better stay here and post Anyway I AM NO NEWBIE! Only to get that straight... Anyway... Those Tie/Exp1 (the one with the turbolaser)- I really begin to like them... especially with the X-Wing upgrade...

Tigris Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 Isn't the B-Wing better 4 those actions? It doesn't break as easy to pieces...

Guest Shooter Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 That's why you gotta fire your warheads "blind". The only reason those turbos know that your warheads are there is because the warhead itself is tracking the target. If you want to hit a big ship from long range, you'll have to boresight without using your CMD, and if it's moving then you'll have to judge the deflection required for the distance involved. IMHO I was rather pleased when I first saw my warheads being nailed before they hit anything, it just makes sense for a ship to defend itself whenever possible.

Tigris Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 I know...

JR2000Z Posted December 10, 2000 Share Posted December 10, 2000 The X-Wing is my favorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chaosdd Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 My heart is with the Alliance, but I like the Imperial starfighters best. For me the best fighter in the game is T/A(except T/D of course, but it is so good that it's unfair). T/A is faster and more maneuvrable than any rebel figher, has enormous firepower, which can be compared only with B-Wing, and has got quite decent shielding and warhead load. The Interceptor is also great - outstanding maneuvrability, speed and firepower. This is enough, who needs shielding ))). From the rebel fighters I like the A and X-Wings. The A-wing is perfect for dogfight - I love to fly it. The legendery X-Wing is the most complex fighter in the game - really multy-purpose. The B-wing is great in shielding and firepower but for dogfight it sucks - can be outmaneuvred by nearly any other imperial or rebel fighter. Anyway, it's quite a good craft,great for heavy assault but too slow for me - I like dogfights and would be glad to provide cover fora B-wing scuadron for example ))). ...in the cockpit of an A-Wing )) That's it, I'm sure you are already tyred from my post, ......so am I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chaosdd Posted December 12, 2000 Share Posted December 12, 2000 NOVA, if you wanna deal with Interceptors, try flying A-Wings. The B-Wing is desgned for heavy assault against capital ships and needs cover from fighers, although it can deal to some extend with enemy fighters.

K_Kinnison Posted December 16, 2000 Share Posted December 16, 2000 Rumor has it taht the IFP is being delayed for a few reasons 1. Cockpit and internal Opts 2. The patch itsself. 3. S/B Opt now this is pure speculations, but i dont expect the IFP to be out until jan or Febuary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JC_DeadEye Posted December 16, 2000 Share Posted December 16, 2000 btw, the IFP is still on schedule for a Januaury 19, 2008 release. Also for K_K's information, the main thing holding the patch is texturing. Takes a long time. We've basically got all the models we need though.
