ISD or Imperial Star TIE Factory ?

[Cain]

As you always know the ISD in EAW will have an infinite number of TIEs that he will spawn session after session - limited only by time.

 

So anyway who wants to see the ISD with a limited number of TIEs and also able to carry troops ?

 

And if you really want to see the best ISD ever - just take a look at this pic :

I now think that the EAW ISDs need more details Make sure you enlarge the picture!

[Nevets]

I would like to see it ahev to get fighters from shipyards as well as carry troops.

[Juggernaut1985]

2nd option for the win.

[Foshjedi2004]

No 2!!! Just my 2 cents

[Teradyn_pff]

I think the Star Destroyers should contain their "canon" compliment of tie fighters/bombers/etc and troops. Or in the game terms, the same number of slots as would accomodate these units.

WOW. beautiful

[Zer_Teron]

Yeah i dont like this special ability, i would prefer something like "Overcharge" allowing them to fire all their weapons at once and make them a little more powerful for that shot

[WhiteSkull]

do we even know if the iSD carrys its own fighters with the special abilty in battle to make extra every so offten?

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

i honestly think that the TIE's shouldn't be built in the SD as that was never part of there thing. they should be built in a Land Based facility.

[Hadoken13]

what do you mean white skull?

we know that the isd has a fighter maker thingy that is on a timer

so evry time the 'power' for this special ability is full you make ties

[Ghostly_Substance]

Ties shouldn't be built on Star Destroyers but they should rebuild Tie Fighters from spare parts from battle as in repairing them you know but the way Petro made it is also good . Star Destroyers should carry troopers but when its going in for a landing leave the job up to the landing crafts. Well thats my opinion anyways, I choose number 3.

[WhiteSkull]

In other words ISD will cary tie fighters made by a factory PLUS in battle be able to make new one's as a special skill thats on a timer.

 

 

People are assuming that the only fighters a ISD has are the ones it makes in battle.

 

But if that is the only way to make fighters then the empire is doomed as the rebles will fighter spam at the start and overrun them.

[Hadoken13]

well the power would probably be on at the start of battle

but ya that is a good point, maybe the magically appearing ties are less powerful than the self built ones?

probably not though

[Deadeye31_pff]

I don't mind the Empire having twice as much fighter capacity, as they had in Rebellion (ISD held 6, Cruisers held 3) because rebel fighters were twice as good as Imperial ones and it balanced very nicely.

 

If you take away the Rebel fighter advantage you are pretty much handing the imperial players the game.

 

Look at the fighter advantage the Empire has so far. Rebel fighter squadrons cost 1 population cap point each, imperials none. And now they want the Empire to be able to spam Fighters? Are rebel fighters really going to go through ties so easily that the Empire needs both to keep up? If so, the Rebels might as well build corvettes because I haven't heard whether they take up population points either.

 

This could be the reason we don't actually see many rebel fighters in Screenshots or movies, they might not be worth it. I mean, all an Imperial officer has to do is get a few ISDs together and just keep all the fighters in back while he just keeps building more and when he grossly outnumbers the enemy fighters, do a wave attack. Unless the timer is going to be long, this is what I believe will happen in multiplayer games.

How about...no starship being able to manufacture starfighters, and all starships being able to carry ground forces and landing craft a la Rebellion?

[lordstorm88]

I think the timer should be like 10 minutes at least. from what I've seen it takes like a minute to destroy a big starship so 10 minutes might be ok for big battles.

[Havok9120]

I believe that either,

 

A) All ships should have their cannon compliment.

 

B) When you build a ship with fighter capacitty you should be able to choose that ships fighter compliment. But the ships should still be limited to the number of squadrons from cannon.

 

In either case, when you repair the ship after combat, all fighter losses should be replaced...for a fee.

man...why does everyone call it the Imperator class SD? Even I with my limited SW knowledge that it was only breifly called the Imperator and renamed to Imperial when the republic became the empire.

Keep in mind that was a trailer, you dont want to sit infront of your screen for however long it takes right? Well you might but you wont learn anything or not much anyways

[lordstorm88]

actually it wasn't exactly a trailer.

 

I was talking about that ISD that attacks on its own with its fighters a mon cal. well it seems pretty reasonable how the shields were falling down. plus from other games like xwing (even though the fighters there are.. well overpowered by far) it seemed pretty reasonable.

[Guest]

if you want overpowered fighters just play rouge squadron 3

[lordstorm88]

lol there is a 3?

[Guest]

yes there sure is..... in rouge squadron 3 A single X-wing can destroy 3 Star Destroyers and run straight into the gound and receive only a dent in the sheilds

[lordstorm88]

sounds like king kong, not an xwing to me. if I remember correctly the hardest for you to destroy cap ships was in xwing vs tie fighter, where the cap ships would actually shoot where you are headed towards and not where you are at the time they are aiming. how weird was that anyways?

[Ghostly_Substance]

Back to topic now

 

Well after all Imperials might have had a prototype Tie maker onboared so every piece of resource they find in the battlefield they send into that prototype and Tie Fighters later come out on a timer of course Or a mini Tie Factory
