Billy Shears Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Anyone else not like 'em? I mean, if they're going to be in the game, I think they should be very weak the first time you get them. Weak lasers, armor, etc. Maybe good line of sight and speed. I think you should have to research a technology like "Research Tow Cables" for them to be effective on mechs, or something. What do you guys think?

TheMadDoofer Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 They are very weak, except against mechs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 They are very weak. Not much armor or shields! I just don't understand why Lucasarts will not make a game that uses B-wings as the main fighters. They are the coolest looking rebel fighter and the most powerful fighter. All the Star Wars games have X-wings, Y-wings, airspeeders and some have A-wings and V-wings. Why they even made V-wing for Rogue Squadron did not make sense either? I know there is B-wings in the scenario editor but you can't build them at the Rebel Airbase and they are considered toy box units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Agreed on the B-Wing think(it's my favorite reb fighter). On the other hand the airspeeder is a little too strong against AA. it gets destroyed in 3 shots when the x-wing in only 2. And it's already hard enough to counter them.

joesdomain Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 I meant all the games involving aircraft and things like that such as X-wing Alliance, Rebellion, Tie Fighter, X-wing, X-wing vs, Tie Fighter, Force Commander, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 The reason why LA won,t make a b-wing based game it's because the b-wing lacks popularity among the non-fan people. the people who only have watched the movies will only see the b-wing for about 10-15 seconds so almost nobody knows about it except for us.

KoL ShadowJedi Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 B-Wings totally rock i agree, they shud be put in as a buildable unit but only in T4 and has to be reasearched "Advanced Structual Design" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorranSec Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 arg... joesdomain, you remind me of Windu. ie posting your fave idea in every thread you post in. No offense, but it's getting irritating. I'm too lazy to tell you why your idea is wrong in yet another thread, so just go back to the B-Wing thread. Please.

Sithmaster_821 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 The b-wing is in the scen box. Its not in the game because it was made to counter capital ships, which arent in the game. Airspeeders are very good. Not only do they give the rebels a counter to mechs, the beat aircruisers and heavies very well. They are also the only air unit that comes with stealth capabilties, which, combined with their speed makes a great pre-a-wing scout. They are well armored and out range fighters, making them versatile hit-and-runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Vostok Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Good point Sithmaster. B-Wings are basically anti-capital ship fighters. Therefore, their absence from SWGB is justified. Lets just hope this doesn't start a debate about including capital ships! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithmaster_821 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 There have already been debates over capital ships:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 but if their are capital ships in swgb 2 in a space combat mode then the b-wing should really be include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 There isn't going to be an SWGB2. Maybe another SW RTS, but not in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabag Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 They could still squeeze B-Wings into the game.... Instead of making them anti-capital ships just make them anti-air cruiser ships! Or better yet, go back to my old idea of making an anti-aircraft aircraft. I believe I called it an Interceptor class. It would be an aircraft that could not fire at ground units but was real good against all other aircraft. Remember more units is always better.

AU_Andy_Ewok Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Airspeeders are really under rated. Strike mech/Airspeeder raiding is a great strat in T3 and in t4 they are probally the best defencive units other that AC's. Especially because Mech massing in T4 is just oh so common.
