Oh ok, I thought someone said they saw a video stating or showing the DS attacking capital ships, howerver if it can not, I do not believe it will a valuable weapon of war. thanks

Where did you guys see a video that shows or explains the DS will be able to engage capital and or fighters? I have been posting this question for about a week and no one was really sure.

I still do not understand why in a Star Wars game such as this, or Rebellion for that matter, you can not use an assault transport and attempt to capture an enemy ship. Seemed in X-wing and Tie fighter, half the missions were to stop assault transports from getting to your capital ships. Def. add some depth and interesting fleet combos to the game at least.

I brought up some of these same questions in another thread. "Utilising the Death Star as a DIVERSION " I found a question posed to the developers in the online chat, but not sure if it answers all our questions. Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:33 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I believed that was its only flaw was the smaller vessel attack, but according to the developers the DS will NOT be able to fire or engage capital ships, which seems like a very large problem. Popcorn2008: Can the deathstar take out capitol ships during combat? Petroglyph-Joe: The first Death Star took about 24 hours to charge up and didn't have the targeting ability to fire on single ships, so in keeping with Lore, it cannot hit individual ships. Not sure if this means it will not be able to use its superlaser to target one ship or if will not able to engage them at all and will have to rely on escorting ships and fighters. Also, even though the DS many have 700 plus turbolasers on it, does not mean it could bring all to bear on one target due to its size, though would be interesting if it could engage mulitple targets around it. I do agree the DS would probably not be worth the cost and risk if it can not engage capital and or fighters on its own.
