Zendjir Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I read somewhere that the pilots from rogue squadron adjusted their dampers (or whatever they are called) so that they would have a sense of G-forces when they did battle. This indicates that dampers can be turned on or off but that they are mostly on. Maybe they don't use that much power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Well, I could be wrong, but since it needs to work on each and every single elementary particle for it to work, I would imagine it would draw a considerable amount of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 I think every single ship has them turned on. If u turn them off, u would die because of the stress your seatbelts put against u. However, u could make it 80% dampening. To have a sense of flying or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendjir Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Yeah Ascari, that's what I said And yes, Jan, it will probably cost alot of power to use them but then again, power cores deliver a huge amount of energy. For example, blasters, shields and engines take on huge amounts of energy compared to dampers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 *cough* ok... ill share my insight. The dampers that keeps you in your seat ar on at all times. and it isnt a damper, it is a compensator. X-wing Book number 5, Wraith Squadron. the neice or niece or however you say it of Admirla Ackbar, Jasmyn Ackbar's compensator was shot to bits and she could reach the controlles anymore and crashed into a meteor. that is how she died. well that explains the compensator The B-wing in XWA could shoot a fighter with all lasers linked?? All fighters in XWA could do that... well except for th A-wing cause he had more speed than blasters. if you hitted the craft right you could do it. now the B-wing has much more storage for torpedo's and ,missles. and can take a beating from capital ships and small fighters. the advantage of B-wings vs Capital ships is that a B-wing ccan hit a sip easaly and a ship cant hit a B-wing easaly. For the fighters it is a different thing. That is why every squad of B-wuings was protected by a squad of X-wings. Now a Tie defender could easaly atke on many ships... it is a tough fighter to deal with.... but not invincable. did i leave somethin out? i think not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendjir Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Yeah, I know all fighters could link their lasers in XWA but for the B-wing this was more effective than for other craft (a-wing). A B-wing could fire 6 lasers/ion bolts in one shot, thats what I meant. Oh and you left out the power issue of compensators/dampers/whatever. And I seriously doubt that the tie-defender will be in the game, or playable. I don't know when it was designed, but the Tie-advanced was created just after the battle of Yavin (vader flew a prototype), you will be able to fly one of those perhaps.

Wraith 8 Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 wow double post euh... you are forgetting one thing that the B-wing and the A-wing were both intruduced in return of the jedi.... and not before.... as we know is that jan dodonna designed the a-wing.. and ackbar the b-wing... but if your stating that the tie defender isnt there yet... so id the B and the A....

Zendjir Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Yup, that would mean just that indeed I heard somewhere that there was a B-wing in a space-addon trailer somewhere, if this is true than maybe the Tie-D and the A-wing are in the game too. It would not be right though, becuz the B-wing was designed just before the battle of Endor. But it would be great to fly an A-wing in SWG.... *floats away, on a cloud in the sky....dreaming of his A-wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted May 22, 2002 Author Share Posted May 22, 2002 Another question: Is it possible for a fighter to attach itselve to a freighter? Because it would be mighty handy if u were in a freighter with some people and u got in a fight and some1 can slip in the fighter and detach itselve from the freighter and fight with it.

MikeC Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 It would have to be a freighter specifically designed to carry a couple of fighters. I think in one of the Wraith Squadron books they also attached a couple of Tie Interceptors to the escape hatches. As far as the A-Wing, B-Wing, and Tie-D go - given the timeline of the game none of them should appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koffin Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 After the E3 video, I got my eye on that Corellian Corvette. Can you say "modification"? Now if it could be modified to store a couple of X-wings....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 There are several EU sources (including that Wraith Squadron book) that show Corellian Corvettes modified to carry fighters. Now the real question. Can we do that in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Dont you just love the Wraith Squadron books?? Wraith squadron captured a coreelian corvette and they had 4 tie fighters in the hangar. now in combat they put the TIE fighters on the escape hatches (like mike said) so they can get into battle faster... but another reason was because the actual hangar was filled with X-wings. and the Corvette 'rolled' into battle shooting out X-wings. called the 'Loran Spittball' it helped them in getting the x-wing harmless into battle and at the same time protecvt the corvette just some info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
