Starfighter Tweaking

[Admiral8Q]

I've modified the fighters to balance them out more.

 

TIE fighter - 33% cheaper to build and maintain. This makes them still useful to produce in large numbers even when the Interceptor has been researched.

 

TIE Interceptor - No change

 

TIE Bomber - Ion cannon 20% stronger

 

TIE Defender - Ion cannons added. It always bugged me that the Defender didn't have Ion cannons in SWR because their design includes two Ion cannons.

 

Y-Wing - Ion cannon 20% stronger, shields 28% stronger. This makes Y-wings, although old and slow, still somewhat effective later in the game.

 

X-Wing - Unchanged

 

A-Wing - slightly faster and more agile

 

B-Wing - Improved shields and a slight increase in agility. Less than an X-wing, but more than a Y-wing

 

I've uploaded the cards here. Try them out and tell me what you think.

 

I had to cut the zip file in half so I could hotlink it. One has the Rebel starfighter cards, the other the Imperial ones.

Oh, these are to be loaded in RebED. Unzip them to a new folder, then load them one by one in RebED.

 

Feedback would be apretiated. I've play tested all the modifications except the cheaper TIE fighters. It all seems to work well so far. I sent a Nebulon B frigate to an Imperial planet with 4 TIE interceptors and 4 TIE Defenders. My two A-wings dealt with the Interceptors, but the four Defenders completely knocked out the shields of my frigate before I had killed them all. Enjoy!

Has anyone tried these fighters? If so, I'd like to know what your oppinion is

I haven't had the occasion to try the (hardly get the occasion to play reb these days ) But the settings seem very interessting and I wouldn't mind knowing what other members thought of them.

I'm back at playing SWR again. I'm supprised no one has tried these firghters out. I found they work better than the original ones. I recomend playing them! And I would still like comments!!!!
