A Question on "Dogfighting"


Guest Bobio

Recommended Posts

Is there any sort of dodge or miss factor factored into whether or not air units hit each other when fighting, or when missle are targeted on air units :eek:

Nope, just ships whacking other ships with lasers.

Damn. It'ld be nice if they put one in so atleast the number of hits and damage taken would be random or based on pilots accuracy while the images weren't :eek:

Who the **** is Viper? You think that because I think for myself (instead of waving your "Anti-DSC" banners) and realize this game could be a LOT more true to the Star Wars universe makes me someone's lacky? Jesus christ. All of you who blindly follow this game simply because it's "Star Wars-y," while blindly overlooking its many faults because you don't know what a great game this could be...all of you are the real disciples here, being a bunch of LA junkies.

 

Goodness. And I thought Star Craft addicts were horrible. I've never been dismissed at a SC forum for providing a valid point rather than go along with the crowd and accept the bad points of the game.

 

So :rolleyes: to you.

 

Oh, the lame feature I was referring to was the stand-still "dogfighting." And rest assured, it's not the only one.

Well, I for one like to challenge people to open their eyes. Forums are about discussion and debate, not about endless praise of things which don't deserve it. Things like stand-still fighters, tanks that don't fire while moving, and ugly animations will never go away unless people realize they are problems and demand they be fixed. But most of the time no one realizes it (or even bothers to look) until someone else points it out to them. I'm here to point out to you.

 

It basically comes down to being really disgusted by ignorance and blind devotion. Don't worry, you people here aren't the only ones to face my wrath :mad:;)

 

Plus, I'm a huge Star Wars fan who is sorely disappointed at the (demo) state of the game. I was really looking forward to this game. There is/was plenty of time to change things between the demo and the game going Gold. Perhaps by posting here I can do my part to make the game better.

Thanks for your comment...:rolleyes:

1) I never bought FoCom

2) Never bought Phantom Menace

3) Never boutght Podracer

4) Never bought Jedi Power Battles

5) Never bought Battle For Naboo

 

Think before you talk okay. It makes what you say sound a whole lot more thoughtful. Not all of us here are "blind followers". Sorry to dissapoint you and your stereotyping, but oh well. Thanks for your uninformed comment...good bye...

...then I wasn't talking to you. "All of you who..." means I was only talking to those people whose description followed, specifically those who "...blindly follow this game simply because it's "Star Wars-y," while blindly overlooking its many faults because you don't know what a great game this could be..." Since you aren't one of those LA junkies, I wasn't talking to you.

 

Would it be better if I talked in smaller sentences? With smaller words? Then would people read and comprehend what I say?

 

And besides, my comment was in response to your stereotyping me as some Viper character's "disciple." Perhaps you should take some of your own medicine, hmmmm?

with this kind of engine, air units will not be as fascinating as xwing alliance other simulation type games. so far, they haven't really invented that kind of dogfighting in rts engines as of yet, but SC and SWGB will probably have the best air battles out of all the rts games i've played...

 

i suggest homeworld for you or xwing alliance if you want to see some cool dogfights...:D

My problem with the game is that it isn't very star warsey. It's just enough to get some people hooked, but not enough to annoy others like me. Doesn't mean it's a bad game, just not in my opinion a very good star wars game.

Check out Total Annihilation, and the Star Wars mod for it. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised when you see actual moving-dogfights, as opposed to the stand-still hover-in-mid-air fights that go on in both SC and SWGB.

 

Granted, it's nothing like SW:A or Homeworld, but it's still lightyears past either of the aforementioned games.
