XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Or tractoring a fighter into a Star Destroyer.

That's not how the tractor beam works... :ph34r:
You can totally do that in game. Either tractor somebody into a Raider or tractor them where the Raider is about to move. The later result is much more lulzworthy.

We're talking about TIE Fighter and the old Battlefront, not X-Wing.

Then I chime in and tell you that you can do that also in TIE Fighter.

Just activate the tractor beam when the other ship is facing the star destroyer. You will see it happily crash against it, since in that game, the tractor beam keeps the target ship from being able to fly other than straight.

They have not been few the TIE Defenders that I have crashed against traitor Zaarin's star destroyer Glory, on my Missile Boat with a tractor beam.

Wow, I need to try that.

So what's the problem? Why can't we do well at the top tables in Worlds, and Regionals often represent Rebels/Scum higher than Imperials?

Because FFG hasn't given us the XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat (...yet...)

Still missing the Sentinel class shuttle, regardless we lovely gunboat. Continue to hope that FFG will release the gunboat and Sentinel class shuttle at some point in time, more so the gunboat over the shuttle but I still want both.

Yes RogueLwader42 - when are we getting the Sentinel and Missile Boat? :P

Used Jammers too much to notice that.

Transferred the energy to the engines too much to notice that.

Did that too, but jammers were op when you're strafing Star Destroyers.

Jammers were kind of redundant once they were introduced simply because it was too easy to snipe weapons hardpoints especially on huge targets like SDs. I certainly would have loved to have had them in X-Wing when trying to solo a Nebulon though. Always seemed almost gamebreaking when you were getting the first bits of the Kalidor Crescent within the couple of missions after popping the frigate during Mission 1.

Pretty much this. The original intent of my post was to say that the effect translated into X-Wing itself but my brain excreted a large amount of methane before I could do so.

The best Star Wars games are in the TIE Fighter time frame, and the first battlefront/kotor period. That's not a surprise.

Unrelated, but I wish I could've got my xwa to work as a kid and flew the mk 5 experimental.

Well it's hardly surprising games after 1999 got worse could you get excited over working on prequel games?

Not entirely, there were a lot of ups and downs. Kotor, Jedi Academy, Republic Commando, Jedi Starfighter, and the real Battlefront came out in that PS2 era. They might not be X-Wing/TIE Fighter, but they were good. It was after BF2 and Kotor 2 that LA games started nose diving. You had some spare PC titles that were by taste, but by that point Lucas hated video games and became fixated by prequel only material.

And not enough gunboats in them.

X-Wing Series and Dark Forces I & II and JK 2 & e are the best SW games out there!

Kotor 1 and SWB 1 were also nice.

And Rebellion is the best SW strategy title till now.

Republic Commando is laughing at you right now.

You could EASILY do good PT era content. They just for the most part didn't, focusing too much on PT from the movies rather than the universe at large.
