Akaga 39 Posted March 4, 2016 Anyone know if there are plans to include the Gunboat or Missileboat from the TIE Fighter video game? I was a fan of those when I was a kid and, since they included the TIE Defender, I think it would be cool. 3 stegocent, SEApocalypse and hismhs reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weirdo 179 Posted March 4, 2016 ...and no one wants to see grown nerds cry. You're new to this whole internet thing, aren't you? (coming from a fellow Gunboat believer) 2 Arma Quattro and Arterial Spray reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted March 4, 2016 Fingers crossed. We know Wave 9 is "done" and Wave 10 is "well underway", but we also know there are a couple of ships from Force Awakens still out there, Rogue One is on the horizon and who knows what we might see in Rebels. 1 Arma Quattro reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
incinerator950 387 Posted March 4, 2016 They're probably going to go Kids/NT route soon solely. I seriously want the TIE Experimentals from XWA, as well as the Chir'daki and Gand starfighter. 1 stegocent reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobojebus 11,341 Posted March 5, 2016 Of all the factions rebels have the fewest options so yeah I think we'll see the t-wing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted March 6, 2016 Oh, there's been more than one Gunboat thread lol. And every time we get a speculation thread on a new Wave the ship rears it's gorgeous, five-winged head... 6 UnfairBanana, DariusAPB, Biophysical and 3 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DariusAPB 6,925 Posted March 7, 2016 Dude, It's an armoured, heavily armed dropship. What is not to like? It's not as if they didn't serve alongside Gunboats like, a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted March 7, 2016 Only joking. The Imperials could do with another Large base ship... but not before the Gunboat! Personally I prefer this bad boy: 5 incinerator950, Conandoodle, stegocent and 2 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DariusAPB 6,925 Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Oh I LOVE the assault transport, but it don't think it should be in X-wing. It would instantly make every Decimator captain question their masculinity... each ATR6 has more firepower than a gozanti, two decimators and a pair of TIE Bombers put together.

Just depends on the stats. I love playing them in convoi attack scenarios. http://albertomelchorruizanton.net/mel_miniatures/melminiatures13.05.15b.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FTS Gecko 24,135 Posted March 9, 2016 Still having issues with Steam's version of X-Wing Alliance. I've made it up to and completed the attack on Liberty by the TIE Experimentals, but dogfighting is proving very difficult. It's a combination of occasional frame rate drops, the highly obscured views from the XWAU cockpits and my joystick, I think - making it extremely tricky to track fast-moving targets (i.e. TIEs). Reloading missions sometimes helps with the framerate problems, but it's disappointing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DariusAPB 6,925 Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah, I went GOG... Steam is the better choice for new games I find, but for the classics. Gog every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
