Guest madperm Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 i think a good unit would be the millenium falcon with chewie as pilot with the wookies, and solo as pilot for the rebels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paladin Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 Do u really think that Snowspeeders r good enough 2 be the rebs special unit. All the other deep space fighters would dominate snowspeeders. Face it, if the snowspeeders couldn't penetrate an AT-AT's armor then how could they be strong against ground mechs?

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 They are going to be very strong against mechs, although i asked the same question myself when i first heard. The other air units aren't good against mech, so that is what makes the speeder different from other air units, and superior too, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paladin Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 But u can't overlook that the snowspeeder's lasers didn't effect the AT-AT's armor at all. Does this mean it had tow cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drakeon Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 No offense, but id take the Fambassa Shield generator over the Snowspeeder anyday. Heck, id take most special units over the snow speeder... Why couldnt it be a Bothan spy!! or a B-wing!! WHY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xwing guy Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 I think Mr. Gaber said the B-wing would be a regular fiying unit for the Rebels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_MASTA Posted August 27, 2001 Share Posted August 27, 2001 i dont think so i think all he said was x wings and y wings and a wings but i may b wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Your right, the alliance only has Y-wings, X-wings, and their UU the snowspeeder. The B-wing will make an appearance in the editor i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gamma732 Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Wow, I would have thought that the A-wing would be a regular unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Maul Jr. Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 well luke took out an AT-AT by using a Snowspeeder...and since it would be too much coding and programing to make snowspeeders shoot out a wire and fly around AT-AT's they just decided the best way to recapture the magic that the snowspeeder performed against the AT-AT( im guessing the mech of all mech's) is to just give Snowspeeders a benefit when attacking mech's and thus illustrating its legendary importance. I guess this works kinda like a post a guy made about jedi's deflecting lasers...he said instead of making them actually reach out and block lasers every now and then (probably a programmers nightmare) to just give Jedi's a benefit against Infantry laser fire. So since Snowspeeders kicks mech butt (kinda like a space age A-10 Warthog) it is obvious their power since the only thing that would be able to scare a Snowspeeder im guess is a pack of air defense units or like some kinda heavy deathstar type air unit!!

Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 I was thinking about the Famba shield generator. It could be very effective. Think about it to have a forward base you would need to build things. Now this Famba can give you a mobile forward base. Also place it around resources with some units and you can control the economy of the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Originally posted by Gamma732 Wow, I would have thought that the A-wing would be a regular unit. According to Gaber it is. Originally posted by Garry_M_Gaber No TIE Defenders, B-wings, E-wings or K-wings are currently planned for the game. But we do have A-wings, X-wings and Y-wings, amongst others. X-wings opening and closing S-foils is an item we are there is your answere A-wings will be in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragon_Leon Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 the basic premise of the game is that all civs have three aircraft-types, four if their UU is an aircraft. or the Rebels, these are taken by A-wings, x-wings, y-wings and snowspeeder as the UU. Towcables would require such detail that you'd need quite the computer... overall, i'd say the battles will resemble those we know from the movie by their look, but they'll play out like a natural 2D RTS.

Guest God Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 what goes the a- wing do? i heard it was going to be x-wing, transport, y-wing, z-95, and UU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 what i mean by three types is fighter-types. Yes, there are transports. My guess is Z-95's can be 'upgraded' to X-Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest God Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 oh thanks i though that the a-wing was only avvalable to the senerio editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of other people said, since they couldn't put a tow cable in the game, they just made the speeders good against mechs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI_MASTA Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 they will probably either have a lazer bonus vs atat or have toe cables i think the laser thing is better though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
