They didn’t roast the foundling birds, they ate some of the local bat/bird monsters that we saw in Season 1 that slashed Greef and Was healed by Grogu’s Magic Hand Thing.

Gotta be honest, if it weren't for the Yoda figure below, I'd have guessed it's a nod to the LucasArts mascot.

Freakin' cool. I mean, it's probably Luke and Yoda, 'cause Grogu ain't a Jedi and why would they have prophecies about Mandalore to begin with, but that's still really cool.

Sombrerotron posted:DF5 would be good but what I really want is a proper new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game. Squadrons was okay, but as a single player space combat sim it just doesn't compare to the original games in my opinion. The problem is that single-player FPS space combat sims are pretty much a dead industry (Star Citizen scamming $600 million in funding since 2011 notwithstanding), and it's been a dead industry since FreeSpace 2's very expensive flop 20 years ago.

Not all hope is lost. There's a Star Wars mod for X4 that is extremely impressive in its scope. It's a kinda janky mod for an already kinda janky game, so it's more difficult and time-consuming to play than old school space combat games. But pretty rewarding nonetheless. (Incidentally, from a video game perspective, the CIS ships are *extremely* fun to do trench runs on... they're long and irregularly shaped, with lots of protrusions and inner areas that nonetheless provide enough room to maneuver.)

decided to re-watch tales of the jedi tonight and it dawned on me that filoni has at this point essentially, but not explicitly, retconned Yoda's "no, there is another" to mean Ahsoka, and i think that's just so cool. she's probably the greatest force user there is and it feels entirely earned cuz filoni has built her up over 15 years

TIE Fighter Cons: No shields No hyperspace engine No life support systems No sensor arrays No armor Only two forward-firing laser cannon weapon loadout TIE Fighter Pros: Cheap production cost Faster than X-Wings Highly more maneuverable than X-Wings Swarm attack patterns that devistate enemy flanks Can be docked in bays at any angle(s) Wider cockpit view for pilot

I don’t really buy the no shields thing. In practically every scene in the original and sequel trilogy (where I assume aside from slightly different designs the X-wings and TIE Fighters are basically the same) it takes like 3-4 hits to kill anybody unless they are a main character.

The X-Wing had the advantage of being a multi-purpose fighter that can maneuver in atmosphere, but the OG TIEs were more maneuverable in space.

Being something that can compete with Rebel X-Wings making hash of the standard Tie/Ln. In the OT the Xwing and Tie perform equal in all things except the hyperdrive (and even the hyperdrive may have been added later because the script needed some way for Luke to get from Hoth to Dagobah). There’s even a handy pencil drawn chart you can google that the ILM guys used during the production of RotJ that has all the fighters abilities relative to each other. It was the EU that later decided on the whole deal of Ties being more maneuverable but cheaply built. As far as the movies are concerned the reason there are more Ties is because the Empire would logically have more ships than some underfunded insurgents.

It's a pity, because it's much more thematically consistent to have the Empire waste all their resources on a designed by multiple competing services, sluggish, multi-role fighter that trades out a hyperdrive and speed for a shield generator, armour and a reliance on capital ship support. The A-wing is also a much better ship for the Rebel's doctrine. gently caress the X-wing. WhiskeyWhiskers fucked around with this message at 11:40 on Apr 27, 2023 |

If the X-Wing series have taught me anything, it's that A-Wings are overrated tin cans that are only good for annoying me if I'm flying a particularly sluggish Imperial craft like an Assault Gunboat. Quad laser supremacy.

Gonz posted:TIE Fighter Cons: They had radar and sensors, too, for scanning ships (probably limited, given the distance needed for a scan), but they're entirely dependent on a base or carrier for long distance or refuel/refit as well as tactical organization. Thrawn's Tie Defender project not only did away with those weaknesses, but garnered the support of Vader after flying one. Ultimately, though, the funding fell through, going instead to the Death Star.

A Tie Fighter has the cannon output of an A-wing, but A wings have missile launchers. A Tie Interceptor has the same firepower as an X wing (which is more, because they have 4 cannons to the A/Tie's two) but X wings have torpedo launchers. Ties shoot green because they have better quality Tabanna gas. Tie Defenders have more shields than an X wing, the maneuverability of an A wing, the cool aesthetics of a Tie Interceptor, and the Ion Cannon of a gunboat. It's the Marry Sue of star fighters, and it's rival in life is the Missile Boat which you've never heard of because it's the God Emperor of another school.
