Garbageben Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 It's more fun with fighters I'd say. I have more fun annoying the capital ships by flying around them with swarms of fighters. Imp. Gunner: Sir! We can't get firing solutions! They're too fast!Capt.: By all that's Imperial you'll find solutions officer! Anyway I've always been a starfighter jockey at heart (love wedge, luke, corran, etc.), so I'm a die-hard starfighter man. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiftdraw Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Given a standard game, I go for a mixed group. Fighters screen the cap. ships and provide cover for bombers, while the big boys slug it out and the bombers soften up and finish off the enemies cap. ships. But if I had near unlimited resources, I'd go with a huge capital ship fleet with corvettes and specialized frigates providing anti-fighter support and use the fighter squadrons as recon, hit and run missions, and (if they can go atmo) air support for ground troops. I get rid of the bombers and the fighters would be more attack fighter than your standard air/space supiriority fighter. I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen.Vader Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 hmm i would like the speed/agility of a fighter but the po;wer of a capital. but if i had to choose fighters for me! catch me now punks! I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naja Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Power! Unlimited power! Me? I'll take a flotilla of 25 Eclipse-class Star Destroyers. You still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I'd have a F. Load of Fighters, bombers etc tike 100 squads of each type. Your Eclipses won't know whats hit em!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiftdraw Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Actually, a 100 squadrons wouldn't be enough against 25 Eclipse. The fighters would run out of ammo before they knocked them all down even if the squadrons somehow took 0 causualties and if the Eclipse's didn't have fighters of their own. Would the Suncrusher count as a fighter? I'm now teh lurker.http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/2/swiftdraw.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I am not actually sure. It is recorded as being an experimental fighter of sorts. http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn2008 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I prefer seeing Capital ships dog it out one on one. I love seeing their turbo lasers firing at each other and slowly damaging each other. Imperial capital ships are my favorite espicially Star destroyers or interdictors (for their gravity wheels) http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg> Petroglyph Forums Moderator> LucasForums Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ackbar Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 yea i dunno why i like capital ships more. maybe its just because they are so huge and deadly. i also like the "lore" of the mon calamari ships, they sould beutiful on the inside and each one is a peice of art. Its a trap! -Admiral Ackbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naja Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Yeah, I never liked how the X-Wing type games made starfighters these uber-overpowered machines of carnage. Bombers and fighters are tactical units made to cripple specific parts of ships, enabling the capital ships to fight that much more effectively. Capital ships were still the main starship killers.

Capital ships were still the main starship killers.Spoken like a true capital ship lover, but you cannot deny that some fighter squadrons or groups of fighter squadrons, if they are very very good, could possibly hurt a capital ship very badly or even destroy them. It also depends on the fighters or bombers in question. Y-Wings and B-Wings could do extensive damage to capital ships if in significant qualities. Proton torpedoes and concussion missles give starfighters a punch needed to take on capital ships. I don't deny the fact that capital ships do pack a lot more punch than fighters though and are the backbone of any fleet. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut1985 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 I'm a Cap ship lover. I love how awesome Super Star Destroyers are. A fleet of them if it ever happened could conquer the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshjedi2004 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Yeah a Fleet of 12 or 13 could take the galaxy however how would you hold all the regions together. You would need massive fleets to be able to hold the galaxy. The Empire had Millions of ships, the NR Thousands. See where that got them in the EU!!! http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa197/knivesdamaster/tags/sith_omguserbar_member.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seewolf Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 yeh the simply question "What would you do again 25 e SSD?"i say "Nothing. the fleet can only secure 1 planet. we will invade and attack all the other planets and in the end we still waiting for the moment when hes running out of credits :)" Why is English one of the most speaken languages? German is more better, it sounds better and i did unterstandt it ^^ but for you i will spoke english too, not good but you should unterstand me ^^ "Der Preis der Freiheit, ist ewige Wachsamkeit" Col.

Garbageben Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 capital ships all the way all i need is a few lancers and all ur little starfighters will be dead *pouts* True that Hadoken.

Darkmark Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I prefer the Rebel fighters, but the Imperial capital ships. If I had to go for only one I'd probably prefer to go for the star destroyers more... so capital ships. Still, it's a tough decision. For EAW I'm likely to create both fighters and capitals in great number. It's more about what I need at the time than anything else.

Gen.Vader Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 hhmm time to revise my post imps: capital ships all the way! SSDs and the such are good! and ill prolly have a 2:1 fighter to capital ratioRebels: have a 4:1 ratio of fighters to caps I've have you now - Lord Vader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'm going to have at least a 5:1 ratio of fighters to capital ships. It all depends on how good the fighters are for what I'm planning to use them for, which I will test in the demo. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithxace Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 the capital ships are gonna be awesome, but dogfights are awesome too. But what i got from the leaked info, dogfights wont really be dogfights i guess, like i dunno, we'll find out when the game comes out. -SithxaceEaW.net Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm a capital ship person since they do more damage and freighters die like flies when attacked. I'll mass produce Capital ships and fighters since do more but is more expensive. -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 the Cap ships are cool and good in most situations but where subtlety is concerned id go for fighters and shuttles and maybe a Squad of Wraiths http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!
