Guest Darktrooper Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 what do the air cruisers do in the GB X- Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 How are we supposed to know, ask LEC. My guess would be that they are some kind of eye-candy/campaign unit like the royal starship. They may be able to carry passengers and/or it may have weapons. It would be kind of cool if it was a combination of both -an armed air transport, so to speak, and if it was available to all civs like the Air transport, maybe as an update. I kind off am pretty sure it's not, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I'd bet they are capital ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisw_30 Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 capital ships...I dont know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 My guess is that they will be the equivalent of an airborn assault mech. If so it will cost an absolute tonne of nova, and will need to be managed wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp14 Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 It would be cool to have a new flying unit because right now air units are very basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Me guesses it to be a capital airship/spaceship, but me is probably wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 maybe they're using my idea of those resource transports...hmm i wonder if spice will be a new resource... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booya2020 Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 An air unit that isn't cut down in a couple of hits? Perhaps a counter to a new unit class? Or a class in itself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sykes Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Cruiser...slow, vunerable boat that can rain down fire on enemy buildings Air Cruiser...possibly the air equivalent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhantomMenace Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 YEAH!!! they took my idea about the interceptor type aircraft..hehe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Nooooo Capital ships !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booya2020 Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 They don't seem to act like capital ships. It looks more like an air unit that can kill mechs. It might also be able to take quite a few hits. Well, whatever they are, they will add some depth to the air units in the game. P.S. I hope the imp one looks like a star destoyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest P-59 Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Well, I personally doubt they have too much power, but my hope is that they are larger transports with more power and more capacity. I get so tired of the extremely limited and un-upgradable air transport capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 They look pretty mighty to me. Add Mon Calamari to the x-pack!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 It looks like they are big and have guns... capital ships!!!!!! Resource transports seem very cool too. I don't think they are airborne mech destroyers, though, because the Rebel's unique unit does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 I'd imagine Air Cruisers to be about twice the size of a fighter/bomber, extremely expensive (Nova, carbon), very slow, but well armed and having slighly better armor than that of a fighter/bomber. Can transport units but a limited amount, less so than the typical transports. It would be the equilivant to the cannons, but airborne but maybe w/ troop carrying abilities. that's just my guess .

Gaming Nut Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Has horrfic vision of terran battle curisers raining death on his base in SC plese god NO. Super air units are always a bad idea 80 percent of unit can't shot back the other 20 are either fixed in place or weak. Please let it be a senrioe editor unit or weaker then anything on the ground above infantry class. and no direct fire area affect weapons! And if their one thing I've learned about balnacing RTS games it's that being slow dosen't offset massive amout of amor and power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffdark Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 your are all crazy, a Air cruiser would be sweet. i think I'd be like a....er...maybe like a flying ATAT...with big, powerfull lazers, and almost uneffected by AA, yet a little weak against fighters, unless escorted, and should be able to carry at LEAST 10-6 units(unlike bombers, it should also be able to shoot fighters). It should be extremly expensive tho, like...oohh, i dunno...say, 700 nova and like....uh, 300 carbon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 I think they will be like airborne Assualt Mechs. Assault Mechs are very tough and good at shooting down ground units, so I imagine they will also be very tough but be effective at both ground and air units.

Com Raven Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Look at Hasbro's republic cruiser toy, it should give ya a pretty nice idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altus_Thrawn Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 air cruser sounds cool (i think). maybe spice should replace nova as the money recource for space maps but on land maps nova would still be there. on air maps maybe droids could get spice from the asteroids and recouce transports from space. air cruser should be a fighter that can shoot other fighters and bomb, but it would be slow like a blastboat....
