Guardian Omega Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I decided to play the orignal X-Wing in my XWCS game for fun. So far it has been easy. (I got that Kaildor Crescent and the silver talons on the first 6 missions in Tour I.) Then the horror comes, I have to fly a stinking Y-Wing! Geez that thing is slow and horrible! Mission 7 requires you to disable rogue X-Wings and kill the Interceptors attacking the shuttles recovering them. My wingman hyperspaced early so I can't get help and I have to face 3 T/I's, one wave is dead, another comes! So any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Originally posted by Guardian Omega So any tips? Cheat. Cheat untill your nose bleeds. Then cheat some more:p Try Going from side to side, then a right/left barrel role, so the tie's can't lock onto your position. Then, use both your Lazer cannon and your Ion cannon. Thats really the only advice I can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Omega Posted July 3, 2002 Author Share Posted July 3, 2002 Problem is, you cant use ions and lasers like you do in XWA....... Now I'm even resorting to use torpedoes to kill T/I's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm even resorting to use torpedoes to kill T/I's! woa.........wait....... The y-wings don't have lazers OR Ion cannons?????? What kinda y-wing is it? IT HAS TORPEADOES!!!! Y-wings are bombers!!!(i thought anyway) Well, how strong are the shields? If they are tough, try crashin into some of those ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuttle24 Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 this calls for a KAMIKAZE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Omega Posted July 3, 2002 Author Share Posted July 3, 2002 No, no you cant use them at the same time............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Originally posted by Guardian Omega No, no you cant use them at the same time............ ohhhhhhhhhhhh ok. I see what you meant now. I thought you were sayin that the y-wing doesn't have lazers. I was about to go medieval on some poor lucasarts guy. I still recomend crashing into the ties if the shields are strong enough, though.

Guardian Omega Posted July 3, 2002 Author Share Posted July 3, 2002 And one crash into a TIE will bring Pure 2 sided Green shields into one red ring.............. And I cant hope to catch up with an interceptor without going below maintence level............... Damn my wingmen! Plus, they'll have some time to shoot you down from the kamikaze........... *pays respect to his dad who beat the game on hard difficulty, or was that TIE Fighter?* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 lol, I used to kill my wingmates because they would steal kills from me...as for the Y-Wing...have you tried flying without shields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You are unwise to lower your defenses." Actually, that's not a bad idea, if you are an experianced pilot on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Omega Posted July 3, 2002 Author Share Posted July 3, 2002 Nevermind now, I just beat the mission, geez 40 T/I kills............. And another part of the Kaildor Crescent! Looks like I would've ended my troubles if I targeted X-Wing Blue Two................... EDIT: WOOT! Battle droid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chastan Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I need the Windows version of X-wing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 I hate that in XWA I can't center on a target. It's like it bounces off or something. Sucks for long range shootouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shidobu Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 is XWA for the PC or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Originally posted by shidobu is XWA for the PC or what? yes, it is. You play as a correlian ship most of the time though. I don't know why they call it "X-wing Alliance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY_jmr1 Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 what would YOU call it then? XWA is my fav by far... though some of the missions just leave to scraching your head... but all 3 do that, so.. GO ACE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Originally posted by SPY_jmr1 what would YOU call it then? I would call it "Correlian Ship Alliance" I haven't even played XWA in years. I need to find disk one. All I have is disk two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shidobu Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 wouldn't that situation make his proposed title more appropriate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I AM Obi-wan Kenobi. see, check out the accent: "It's not about the mission master, it's elsewhere........elusive...." See?!?!?!? And I think it was a good game, though the title was innapropriate IMO. kinda like "Attack of the Clones." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shidobu Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Not YOUR title, the GAME'S If Incom was on Corellia, then even if you flew correlian ships AND x-wings [which I gather is the case] the title for the game proposed my obi-wan13 would still make sense.

Vestril Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 X-Wing Alliance Makes more sense because it ties back in to the X-Wing games franchise...plus X-Wings are wayyyyyyyy cooler than the Corellian ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Originally posted by Vestril X-Wings are wayyyyyyyy cooler than the Corellian ships this coming from the man who drives the Falcon. X-wings are cooler, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
