Thanks for the heads up, looking into this issue.



Another clarification, since I saw it mentioned further up this
thread: the ship modifications do not increase the mass of your
ship, or add to its performance. They are just a little something
extra for the body of your ship. Its like painting a racing
stripe on your ship---it just looks faster



Thanks.

That explains it.

The heavy xwing.. is not a chassis modfication via strakes then like the ROTW pre release info would lead some of us ( *cough* me) to beleive.

So.... zee strakes... zey do nothing!

I think the dev dudes at SOE all have an 8-Ball on their desk and use it everyday. Keeps us on our toes trying to figure out what will happen tomorrow.

DP - any chance you can push on the NDA release - I gave my word not to release my mining guide without the NDA being lifted after Tiggs was asked when the NDA was coming up. I want to let it start helping people, but can't till I get permission to release it.

Well, to be fair, that does describe the Advanced X-wing.

I'm sorry to hear that the side strakes have no functionality, only cosmetic appeal. I'd figured they would in some way improve the ship. Bummer.

Then why is it when they were described, it was lead to believe that?

X-wing with cross-body strakes

"Success with the "Heavy - 95" lead to the creation of the modified X-Wing. This version has increased mass capacity and better heat-handling."

Made some for a friend, he fitted them into an xwing, no change in any of the ships stats that he noticed. Oh but his ship looked fatter, but thats about it.

A suscpet their purely asthetic. You can't even experiment with them. Its like making a paint kit.

The strakes/winglets are indeed for decoration only. There is an Advanced X-Wing with considerably higher mass, however, which is granted as a quest reward.

Thanks.

OMG, JTL history has been made in this thread.

I want you all to think really hard and try to remember the last time a Developer posted in the JTL related forums.

I wonder how much of this fourm they've been reading in the past .

Dunno if anyone managed to get this during beta, so I'll post the details.

The Advanced X-wing deed is a reward for completing the Kashyyyk space station quests as a Rebel pilot. The last mission, taken from the Rebel Space Station in Kashyyyk and request by telling the station "I'm looking for a challenge!", is to disable a Corvette and escort it back to the station. The enemy spawns start as mixed tier 2-4 fighters, but eventually Tier 5 Rebel Gunboats join the mix, armed with missiles . Three such boats spawned for me in total, but I was still able to beat the mission. The gunboats, once they expended their missiles, just couldn't hurt the vette -- they weren't shooting their lasers at the reactor, just at general locations across the body. Thus, the vette just plodded along its merry way while I shunted my capacitor around 100 times to stay alive. Of course, the gunboats didn't despawn when the mission succeeded, and proceeded to kill me three times while I tried to make it back to the station... so I guess it evened out .

The reward is the Advanced X-wing: identical hardpoints to her smaller cousin, but with a chassis of 2000 and mass of 180k. *whistle*

Im having some issues starting this mission. Please give me a hand.

I have chosen the 'Im looking for a challenge' mission. It says find a YT1300 that is flying near the station. I go to it and /comm. It says keep up the good work. What do I do next???
