Thread: X-wing side strakes
I was looking for some strakes for my x-wing since my shipwright was on vacation, and some psycho's on bloodfin were actually selling them for millions.
Hmm, as far as i know, those things are purely decorational... and yes, i think it's the tie advanced which can have some, the freelancers can get some for the rihkxyrk.
Actually i think they are a great idea, it would be wonderful to have two or three different possible modifications for each ship in game so you can further customize your ship.
4 different styles with 3 different customisations leaves you with 12 different ways your frame actually looks like. Add the fact that engines and boosters sometimes make the ship look quite different and then still being able to put on textures and colors allow you to make your ship truely be "yours", no carbon copy around each corner. [Of course, this should not be true for tie-fighters. Those are standardised ships of a huge military force, they are supposed to look all alike, unlike the "ragtag" rebel forces who press each ship into service where they can get their hands upon... ]
Think of strakes and winglets as somebody ricing up their economy car by putting a spoiler or a big muffler in it. Its just for show, doesnt do anything, and people get to laugh
I kind of like them.
Same here, i wish there'd be some cool enhancements to strap on my Krayt and Vaksai. (And also on the YT-1300, despite i rarely have the crew to fly it...)
Ikind of like them.
I did use them in a standard Xwing to throw peoples assesment off when they saw my ship.

Duci, they do add something... they take dmg before other parts, and after Armor.
A whole 50 armor? Or was that 50 hitpoints?
