KTottE 0 Posted July 14, 2002 True, but then you'd have all sorts of other issues. One of the more important ones would be that the AI wouldn't fire at other flying vessels. Why you ask? Because the AI will only fire with the 30mm, I.E not missiles/rockets. Oh, and another thing. How much ammo would each laser cannon have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm afraid that only BIS can do that, which unfortunately they didn't improve much on Resistance. Tracers need to be much brighter and a bit bigger. It would be super cool if someone figured out how to do this. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

russin 0 Posted July 14, 2002 star wars gimme a break lmao there is no place for that in my game only war mods and speaking of mods where are they not even 1 finished yet ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch_gatecrasher 0 Posted July 14, 2002 look, ofcourse their is no perfect space in OFP engine for starwars, but Islands can be made looking like planets, just some imagination needed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy 0 Posted July 14, 2002 remember the game 'rogue squadran' ? most of the fighting were fought on planets. and starwars just isnt all bout planes. alot of the fighting was on land to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peeps 0 Posted July 14, 2002 yeah like at-at's and stuff, also the x-wing is capable of flying like an a10 in an atmosphere, luke does it when he goes to see yoda, u can do it on rogue squadron and they r present in the battle of hoth if u look hard enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peeps 0 Posted July 14, 2002 there is a problem with making lasers simply big tracer bullets for an x-wing, the tracers would only have one point of origon (sorry 4 spelling) u can notice this on the markII pbr, when it fires its twin cannon thingy tracers only come out of the right barrel. also i don't have oxygen, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frisbee 0 Posted July 14, 2002 Well,if a seperate conflict is used it's doable. Most of the battles in SW are big,huge(chaotic) epic battles with armies showing the strategy of...wait,no strategy at all. It'd be good for some small conflicts on a rebel/imperial outpost,small skirmishes would be great,or spec ops Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDRZulu 0 Posted July 14, 2002 Cool, do you guys have oxygen? I hope you do and I also wish the people that dont like someones addon dont go in and say this has no place in ofp ie. this thread and the vietnam island. Star Wars would work great for ofp in the outdoors sense and alot of of the star wars is on the land on an earthlike planet so it would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peeps 0 Posted July 15, 2002 nice TIE fighter! i've just finished modelling an A-wing, Y-Wing and snow speeder, but the speeder ain't very good i deserve oxygen i tell ya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turkish 0 Posted July 15, 2002 I think we should try to keep a "don't knock it 'til you tried it" attitude where possible here. I for one, think a SW mod would rock. There's plenty of land battles to make it work your while. I think the Islands could lend themselves well to an Endor or Yavin IV land battle. And if you've read the books, you know that TIE fighters don't work well in atmosphere, but Alliance fighters do. And not to sound nitpicky, but the Y-wing was developed as a Close-air support fighter. The X-wing is more like the F-14, the A-wing like the F-16, and the Y-wing is like an A-10 or the A-7 Corsair II. And the B-wing is just...the B-wing. At least, that's my interpretation.

Yoshiro 0 Posted July 15, 2002 An Xwing is an attack/bomber while the Awing is an attack/fighter. The y-wing is a heavy bomber thats getting out of date and the B-wing is an improved bomber that is steadily replacing it, but due to the limited funds of the rebel allaince the A-wing and the B-wing are in very limited quantities until after the battle of Endor.

peeps 0 Posted July 16, 2002 x-wing is a multi-role fighter, a-wing is what the rebels use for hit and fade missions. Also the y-wing wouldn't be like the a10 as it would be so much faster, the snow speeder would be closer to an a10. And the b-wing is the b17 of star wars . rebels would be more airbased and there aircraft perform well in an atmosphere due to there design shape and the empire would be land based with AT-ATs etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turkish 0 Posted July 19, 2002 Incom lists the X-Wing as a "Space Superiority Fighter." It was not intended for ground attack in the manner that the Y-Wing was. Peeps, I think you're cool for trying to put a SW mod in. I say screw the people who think it's a dumb idea. You know, if you think a Star Wars mod would be stupid, fine. That's your opinion. But I've seen people here really get down on the creative minds that think to make a SW Mod, and I don't think that's right or fair at all. Everybody's mod is stupid to someone. So just sit back, relax, and have a nice tall glass of SHUT THE HELL UP! Seriously, though, some people here are pretty rude when it comes to sharing their opinion of what would be cool and what wouldn't...there's not too many people who know how to say "You know, it ain't my thing, but good for you." Just my 2kb worth... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
