  • X Wing Alliance

    So, Snoopy and I played a few rounds of XWA last night. It was good fun. First game was just A Wings and X Wings vs. TIE/Fs and TIE/Bs.

    Second game was a small cap ship on each side and the fighters trying to take out the other cap ship with torpedoes.

    Third game was even bigger cap ships on both sides. A Calamari Cruiser on the Rebs plus Assault Frigate, and an Imperial Star Destroyer and an ESC on the Imps side. We prevailed in each game.


    We also proved that if you destroy a Star Destroyer's testic spherical shield generators, it does indeed drop the shield strength to zero.


    Maybe something to keep in mind before we take on an SSD!

      And why can't you?

      IIRC a SSD has a ton of shield generators (4, 6, something like that). Rather more than a load of HR's

      We also proved that I mostly suck at XW/TFA ... have to get my space legs back

        When each mission was over, I'd cycle through the craft and find Snoopy and then switch to warheads and target him. When the lock engaged to red, I'd watch to see if he'd go loopy trying to evade the lock.

        He never did.


        I also flew around in a reckless and unprofessional manner and accidentally rammed Snoopy from behind. That was a little surprising too.

          Yeah, it's way easier to avoid fired missiles than to avoid the lock...

              Actually, last night I do think I was able to hit a TIE/F with a heavy rocket

                If you cared enough to try you'd hack your way around it

                Sorry to hear [or recall, I think I knew that from before] of your unfortunate circumstances... someday you'll be off on your own and able to MP whenever you want

                  Woah! I'd love to do some MP Xwing Alliance. Be forewarned that I suck though. I tried on some generic server once and got all sorts of abuse from the l33t crowd.

                    Are you on Yahoo IM? I can meet with you there if you are.

                          XWA! Wow.. a throwback to the beginning of PC gaming for me (the whole X-Wing/TIE Fighter series actually). :sigh:

                          Yeah, I remember entering a cheat code where you could actually pilot a Super Star Destroyer. That thing couldn't turn for crap, but it sure had a lot of firepower

                              Piloting a SSD would be a lot of fun if you could target all of its guns.

                              Heck, just being one of the gunners... or the Death Star's gunner ...
