Back to the Tartan: If even Tal thinks the Tartan is too large then I just revert them back to their original size (more or less). Those giant Tartans really looked odd, didn't they? How about you make them 250m long, which is the length of the Lance...  [Read More]

The IPV is an Imperial anti-pirate vessel, not an anti-fighter one, meant for local system defense. It lacks a hyperdrive. That EAW uses it in pirate systems is something I find deeply offensive to my sense of canon....  [Read More]

The Corellian Corvette is, indeed, also used by the Empire, but not by the Imperial Navy, nor in an anti-fighter role. (There are many Imperial organizations that use warships besides the Navy.) They are typically found in their role as personal tran...  [Read More]

BTW, what happened in the end with the Marauders? We don't still have the made-up missile variant in the game do we? I haven't had the time to play with v6+ of the mod, so it may have changed, but the last time I looked the missile variant was still...  [Read More]

Can I just say, if it hasn't, the Immobiliser-418 Interdictor should have a single TIE squadron (12 fighters). Actually, according to canon, it should have 2 squadrons (24 fighters). Note that it's fighters-only, no bombers. BTW, the canon version o...  [Read More]

Imperial Space Stations: Golan I: 28 turbolasers (4d10x5), 5 proton torpedo launchers (9d10x2), 6 tractor beams, 1231m long, Shields 200, Hull 400, DR 60. Golan II: 35 turbolasers (5d10x5), 10 proton torpedo launchers (9d10x2), 8 tractor beams, 2158m...  [Read More]

@Adonnay: You should raise the damage output of fighter lasers to what they used to be (if you haven't already). The damage yield of a TIE's lasers (and the Y-wing's) is the same as the turbolasers on a Corellian Corvette. Thus a TIE squadron (12 acc...  [Read More]

But in the game mechanic the Victory spawns 2xTIE fighter and 1xTIE bomber. If the Venator launched 5 fighter and 3 bomber wings (for example) it would eat the victory for breakfast. Thank you for seeing my point! :p...  [Read More]

The Empire keeps a close eye on warships. Corellian Corvettes and converted freighters slip under their radar. Star Destroyers don't. The Rebels didn't even have the Nebulon-B frigate (their first capital ship) until the Far Orbit mutinied (after Ald...  [Read More]

No, the V-wings are no longer available at all. That just makes the Venators even more powerful if they are launching X and Y-wings ... Of course, "realistically", there are no more Venators by the time of the Battle of Yavin. Nor Acclamat...  [Read More]

I doubt that the V-Wings can really touch a Victory... well in this game at least... they probably can in the RPG since there are some kinds of criticals and probably more weapons than just the simple (and weak) fighter laser. A V-wing has 60% of the...  [Read More]

Average damage yields: Victory I: 9350 Victory II: 6820 Venator: 3344 Acclamator: 3498 Nebulon-B: 1584 But what's deceiving about the list above is that the Venator carries a whopping 420 fighters (an ISD only carries 72)! In gunnery alone the Venato...  [Read More]

Rocketeer, the Venator is a capital ship. Not only that, they are Star Destroyers. As such they have hulls and shields that are stronger than a Victory, and almost the equal of a Mon Cal. And a Venator has no ion cannon, so I don't know where you're...  [Read More]

FWIW, I agree with rocketeer regarding the Venators. They served the role of carriers even more than they did as battlecruisers (and, at the time, they were second-to-none as battlecruisers). They were truly remarkable and flexible ships. And they LA...  [Read More]

@rocketeer: The Venator is actually superior to a Victory, according to canon publications. As I said in my post a few minutes ago, a Venator should be able to chew up an Acclamator almost as easily as an Acclamator can chew up a Nebulon-B. ;) @Adon...  [Read More]

If it was my mod I'd be tempted to remove Piett from the game and give Vader the ISD Accuser. The only problem with it is that in the SP campaign having an ISD (the new, powerful, modded ones that is) at the very beginning as the Empire is horribly u...  [Read More]

The space stations in EAW are pathetically weak (compared to their RPG counterparts). A L2 station should be a match for a Mon Cal and a L3 should be more than a match for an ISD. (You can imagine how powerful a L4 or L5 station might be.) As for yo...  [Read More]

I agree with you regarding the Assault Shuttles. Unless they are implemented as something you might see land on a planet in EAW there's no need for them. They are not used by the Empire as warships for space battles. Firesprays are uncommon enough t...  [Read More]

The Firespray was never well-received by the law enforcement agencies it was marketed to, and was only made (by Kuat Systems Engineering) for a few years. However, it was wildly popular with all sorts of scoundrels, who eagerly bought them up. The I...  [Read More]

DR is the critical component. That's why the shield and hull values are so much lower than you probably expected. Also, "critical" hits bypass shields and go directly into hull. As I mentioned before, EAW is much more abstract than the RPG....  [Read More]

Storm Troopers automatically appear as Sand Troopers on Tatooine, and have their own model. I think there may be Snow Troopers as well. It looks like the game automatically defaults to these models. Yes, you do see Snowtroopers on planets such as Hot...  [Read More]
