Self indulgant im bored at work watching this compiler run daydreaming an i wish list:

1.) Tweak imperial ships - nothing overboard, just another 5K mass here or there, another gunport here or there, fix an errant hitbox, etc. (you could make a whole thread on this so im being breif)

2.) Ship customization. - No paint jobs, but i dont think it would be too much out of character to add some sort of optional squadron/unit insignia or stripe somewhere so pilots could more closely aiign themselves. WW2 styled Nose art on Deci's would be awesome too.

3.) Fix the rebel station in DS. One sided content is most uncool.

4.) Id have the Storm squadron teir 4 trainer offering a rebel ship destroy duty mission in endor. (Since rebs got the same kind of mission in yavin4, seems only fair)

5.) I'd have the Black Epsilon trainer offer teir 4 BS destroy duty missions. (only fair since both rebs and privateer have em)

6.) TIE Harotak's hands together when he gets unleashed on a TIE Advanced with 5k extra mass .


I like those suggestions. While we're wish listing though, can I have a 70k mass A-wing. Yup, I could do a lot with 4k extra mass

Acutally i was thinking of the Interceptor as being a candidate for a mass boost.

T/A...... errrr thats a tuffy... im leaning on.. no for that one.

T/ln too. Acutally id love a 50K mass T/Ln and a 60K mass T/I.

Id *REALLY* love a RGI w/ fixed hitbox and TWO gunports *evil grin*

Then again, im flying rebel now. why do i wish this harm upon myself?! lol

Honestly i think if the above 5 changes were in, id have never gone rebel pilot to begin with. Imp pilot does need some loving to encourage pilot retention in that profession.

This could easily be done the way they handled it in the X-Wing series, where the forward tips of the solar panels could be painted a squadron color.

Agreed across the board, save for #1. I like the mass of our ships, but yeah...a certain vessel does need it's hitbox adjusted.

Make the RG TIE black, make it 75k mass, normalise the hitbox and I'd be laughing all the way .


I say black because it is more manly than red.

Dunno... The most manly paintjob I could imagine for a fighter would be pink and baby blue, firing purple bolts of doom.


If you could pull that off and look manly doing it, you'd be the most manly pilot ever.

Weeeeellllllllll, I figured if he could argue lower, I could argue higher 'Sides, my cousin taught me when I was younger, if I got hit, hit back twice as hard and twice as much. I kinda carry that over to other things......

Know what would be really awesome? A transparent insignia on the TIE cocpit. Just a little something I wish I could have. Especially if you could custom-design it to a certain amount, or atleast have a very wide array for each squadron. I think a bubble-gum pink TIE Oppressor vaping Rebels in DS would be SOOO funny!
