gravity well station

[Megajames]

?, which is ?

[shadowsfm]

a little satalite the imps can put in orbit to keep rebs from retreating

[Stellar_Magic]

Okay... so its a gravity mine, never really saw the point of them in Warlords, but the same may not be true here.

What is the point of them?  ??? ???

[Mistrider]

Basically it is a stationary Interdictor cruiser, without the cruiser part.

[Samheyn]

If you manage to lure a fleet to one of your planets and have some heavy planetary defenses you wouldn't even need an interdictor to prevent their retreat. So you could have this valueable ship at another place of the galaxy.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

This station makes no sense its a waste of valuble resources.

I agree, as it is, unless the Imps protect it or the interdictor heavily, a couple groups of Y-wings will just role through the thing. hell 5 squadrons of Y-wings can bring that imperial fleet in the Demo to its knees in seconds. That vic was rendered useless in no time flat. I don't think interdictors are going to be very worth it. Unless you have a massive fleet, a fleet that should be out fighting not turtling, then the interdictors are going to go to hell.

 

If a few squads of Y-wings can be so effective against Vics and Acclamators, and interdictors or other specialty units are typically weaker in games because of their special ability advantage, then the interdictors are useless. Keep them in your fighting fleets, not in your defense fleets unless you're going for a trap.

Notice... The empire doesn't have any anti-fighter ships in that fleet.

 

Put anti-fighter ships in and y-wings die 10x faster than if you have a VSD fireing on them.

 

Ships are strong/weak against certain other ships.

 

Send in Home One using a mod. Have it attack fighters. It barely scratches them.

Send in a corvette against fighters, and it demolishes them.

 

Y-wings, powerful? yep. Overpowered? nope.

 

Just balance your fleets.

[SirNuke]

Yeah, the antistarfighter ships rip fighters up.  If you enable the AI in the demo, it builds tartans, making them very difficult to defeat.

[shadowsfm]

ywings suck vs Interdictor, becouse it has a missle scrambler ability

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

yeah but the interdictor is supposed to be Very Weak if it's not then its not to Canon but i don't care.
