Lucius Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 i really have no clue what your talking about... but if your smart, youll not have the transports along with your attackin fleet... then you command the troops on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkthehunter Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 You can't attack land from space!(except in bombing runs) End of story.

shadowsfm Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 i guess he hasnt played the demo when you have y-wings or star destroyers in space, then when on the gound these a button that has a 5 minute cool down that lets you do a bombing run at the targetted area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdark Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 and it has already a big bug you can let it go over your own units and they wont even be harmed, but your enemy will be terminated http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/0/kingdark.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teradyn_pff Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 This is not a bug, this is by design.... although I disagree with it for obvious reasons.

sithwolf Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 what I was on about was attacking ground using capital ships not bombing runs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teradyn_pff Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Capital ship bombardment is not in EAW. My Death Star is bigger than your Death Star!"The XML is strong with this one!"http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/bg/type/0/teradyn.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 i wonder why.... thats a awesome way to get rid of tose pesky people who you dont like.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellangel666 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 and would just about bypass any land unit with no harm to the capital ships.... this would then be really bad for mp rebel players because imps could just bomb the hell out of every planet before landing and would only need a large space force....and one or two land units for quick take overs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddus Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Lol, Anyway, Capital ships can't fly in atmosphere and they can't shoot from space, too far ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 if I added it... i would at least make it an option before anygame for bombardments... Taris is a perfect example of it.... even though they werent going to command&conquer the planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcas1937 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Lol, Anyway, Capital ships can't fly in atmosphere and they can't shoot from space, too far ;p Wrong on both counts, Victory class Star Destroyers can fly in an atmosphere and a Base Delta Zero is the Imperial Navy protocal to use orbital bomardment to turn a planet into to slag. -Many that live deserve death.

Of course he can "fly" but what I mean it's that you can't do what you want in atmosphere so it's impossible for it to get involve in a land battle. Then yeah you can process to orbital bombardement but as you said it's "to turn a planet into a slag". It's compltely not for precrise strikes on a unit or a building.

hellangel666 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 thats the point. lets say your losing. bomb the planet and you can come back with more units and win. orbital bombing would be like a DS but just keep the planet there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Admiral Thrawn 889 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Orbital Bombardment was First Protocol for the Subjection or Punishment of A System or Planet it didn't have to be used on the entire Surface, A ISD or SSD could sit in a Low orbit with a Adaquate crew and hit a Town or City with little damage to the Rest of the Planet, i has been used Numerous time in the history of the New Order including against Novistqer and Mon Calamari. The Most Notable use Throughout the Hiustory of the New Republic is Wedge Antillies use of the Tactic during the Battle of Borleias against Yuuzhan Vong, he ordered the SSD Lusankya to turn its guns around the Base he was using to obiterate the Ground Forces sent against them by Czulkang Lah. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n292/Admiral_Antilles/Thrawncopy.jpghttp://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3269/pffuserbar2globalmodnx9.jpg I Support the Resistance!

Darthscharnhorst2 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 and would just about bypass any land unit with no harm to the capital ships.... this would then be really bad for mp rebel players because imps could just bomb the hell out of every planet before landing and would only need a large space force....and one or two land units for quick take overs The rebel players could simply build a shield generator to shield them from the bombardment ;D A planet without one would be toast, but that would be the players fault.
