Artoo-Eetoo Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Rebels and Imps have bombers too .... so don't say.... IMP ---- REB ---- UNDERWORLD! TIE ---- X-WING ---- STARVIPER TIE-B ---- Y-WING ---- SKIPRAY TIE-D ---- A-WING ---- (TIE_D ) TIE-P ---- B-WING ---- (A-WING )
_x_Darth-Max_x_ Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Still.. not all Consortium units have been Revealed.. + Seeing Defenders and A-wings at Consortium doesn't Float my boat.. Although Nebulon-B Frigates in hands of the Consortium is something that is more.. Logical
TheMonsterOfTheIsland Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Aren't Tie defenders better than B-Wings? I mean, they're faster and they have an enormous payload. B-wings just have an enormous payload.
Valter Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Well, the consortium has to get it's technology from somewhere. It makes sense that the consortium would steal ships from the Rebel Alliance and Empire through piracy. I would imagine that Tyber, being a weapons dealer, would trade cash with Imperial and rebel personnel for their advanced starships. Why is it so unfathomable that Tyber would use his enemies' own technology against them?
Rust_Lord Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Well, the consortium has to get it's technology from somewhere.

I would imagine that Tyber, being an weapons dealer, would trade cash with Imperial and rebel personnel for their advanced starships. Why is it so unfathomable that Tyber would use his enemies' own technology against them? Absolutely, and he would get access to some good stuff but I agree that ZC should not get access to some of the games (and empires) elite units. If the ZC cap ships can own the Empire/Rebs cap ships they need some balancing force, which I expected the TIE Defender/Bwing to play. I thought it was strange ZC didnt get bombers but now they can; the defenders. And what bombers they are! It smells. Ywings, fine, even make them cheaper for them since Tyber could probably get 'em at a discount. From the simulator game some pirates did manage to steal one or two of the handful of defenders made and were going to sell one to the rebels but you (as a player) participate in recapturing it and slaughtering not just the pirates but the rebels intent on purchasing it. Yes crime can pay but in our world you merely rot in prison. In the SW world, considering the Empire is as nasty as it is, for ripping off their most advanced equipment you would be getting executed...Jesus, in the RPG it was stated that illegal possession of a suit of stormtroopers armour was a very serious if not capital offence! Bad move PG.
Darth Anarch Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 The Consortium does have bombers; that's the Skipray Blastboats.
Rust_Lord Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks DA; this was also pointed out in another thread to me...I think they are cool the blastboats but expected them to be like corellian gunships...they were fighter size so it makes sense to use them as bombers...pretty quick bombers though! Look out!
Darth Anarch Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Does anyone remember what the special ability of the Skiprays was? I know you could see it in the tooltips in the demo, but I don't feel like going through it all right now to get to the part where the Skiprays appear before the last mission.
Artoo-Eetoo Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Something like stealth.. o sensor scrambler TEXT_TOOLTIP_SENSOR_SCRAMBLER The scrambler interferes with enemy radar and sight ranges, and also jams missile guidance systems.
Darth Anarch Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Aah, thanks. Sounds like having a screen of Skiprays in front of your capital ships might be a viable strategy, then.
