Dash4 Posted September 2, 2001 Posted September 2, 2001 Aren't the Snowspeeder the Rebel's special unit?
Rdog22 Posted September 2, 2001 Posted September 2, 2001 Yes they are and they have an advantage against mechs, also.
Booya2020 Posted September 2, 2001 Posted September 2, 2001 They are good against mechs unlike other air units which are weak against them.
Lord JayVizIon Posted September 3, 2001 Posted September 3, 2001 check out the thread "SW Gamer on SWGB" on this forum, galactic discussion
Guest Tie Guy Posted September 3, 2001 Posted September 3, 2001 or...if your feeling lazy today i'll just tell you that the speeders are going to have tow cables.
Guest LiveWire1138 Posted September 3, 2001 Posted September 3, 2001 They probably won't be very effective against other air units. I remeber reading something where it stated that the snowspeeder was not a true starship but a modified repulsor lift (think episode I podrace scene where Ani goes flying off the service ramp). so I'd venture to say it will be a air-to-ground attacker with a +attack modifier to At-Ats
Guest Drakeon Posted September 3, 2001 Posted September 3, 2001 ahh I cant wait. Just imagine sending a fleet of snowspeeders raiidng imperial At-st's and At-At's
Guest Stormtrooper Posted September 3, 2001 Posted September 3, 2001 Just hope those At-Ats have some good Anti-air defense near by. :tie:
TieDefender75 Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 Your all right, but i dont think that many people will play as the rebels!
Guest Admiral Odin Posted September 4, 2001 Posted September 4, 2001 I think many will play as rebels because they are the Rebel Alliance. Many people like being the good guys...

Guest Bifficvs Posted September 5, 2001 Posted September 5, 2001 Question: Will snowspeeders be the nearly only effective unit against AT-AT's? As we all know, those things should be damn near indestructable. I don't know if they will be, does anyone know how many HP's they have?
Guest Gamma732 Posted September 5, 2001 Posted September 5, 2001 Snowspeeders are good against mechs, not just AT-AT's. And I'm sure there's another reg unit that destroys mechs. If there wasen't, the game would be really imbalanced.
Guest Bifficvs Posted September 5, 2001 Posted September 5, 2001 That's my whole wonder. In real life, the AT-ATs are damn near indestructible, so how are they gonna handle destorying them in the game?
Guest Gamma732 Posted September 5, 2001 Posted September 5, 2001 Perhaps a certain heavy artillery cannon, or something to that effect? I wouldn't call them indestructable...you just need something strong enough to knock 'em over.
Compa_Mighty Posted September 5, 2001 Posted September 5, 2001 Biff, the AT-AT's got 438 hit points (so far) I think there will be an antimech unit, but not as strong as the airspeeder.
Rdog22 Posted September 5, 2001 Posted September 5, 2001 In the Star Wars book Isard's Revenge, At-Ats were taken down by Rogue Squadron (again). But this time they esed their X-Wings, which, according to the book, hed stronger laser cannons and of course the proton torpedoes. The At-Ats were taken down fairly easily and in very little time. If I remember correctly half the squadron took out 6 At-Ats.
Dash4 Posted September 12, 2001 Author Posted September 12, 2001 Originally posted by droideka rebels SUCKSUCK Heeey, why do you think that? btw, thanks for all the replies
Guest dvader07 Posted September 13, 2001 Posted September 13, 2001 At-Ats are just the imperial unit in one of the mech classes. The other civs have equivalents, plus there is a mech destroyer class. This is the class that the At-Pt is in. Now, the empire is fairly strong in Mechs so that means there would be stronger than others, but there are others that could counter them. I think that the battle scenes in the movie can't really be used as a reference because the only big battles we have seen are the battle of hoth and the battle of naboo. In each of these, the battle seemed fairly one sided, and that was what was interesting. However, for a game like this, they have to balance the sides and give them a chance to all be victorious. We all know that in a straight out fight no one could defeat the empire when it was at full strength, but that wouldn't make for a very fun game.
Guest Admiral Odin Posted September 13, 2001 Posted September 13, 2001 exactly. GB would be crappy to have a supper civ. or a ton of balanced civs and a really weak one.
