Let's tell Lucas Arts we need a new Star Wars space game. Something like Privateer will do.

Don't worry, I'm going to email them this thread when we finish all 12 campaigns :cool:



Anyway!

It depends. If Alpha has carried out their mission, then it's time to re-arm. Otherwise, we obviously need to engage the A-wings and show them who the miggity-mack-daddy is.

"TIE Fighter group Alpha has been destroyed"
Mission Accomplished!

So, that means lets call over Tug Deco for some more space bombs.

"Orders recieved!" They are on their way, but they better hurry. Beta 3 just bit it.


We are reloading, but I think we better move out pretty quick :saddowns:

use your space bombs to take out the a-wings, i bet a single bomb could kill one in one hit. oh yeah you'll need to shoot out the a-wings engines first.

Sweet, now even if we explode, we can still win the mission. Lets score some bonus points.

When I played Tie Fighter you could target the engines but the one person fighters would blow up when the engines go out, or they blow up before they can. I don't think this is real. :argh:

Edit: Turn on invincibility and infinite ammo. There's a cheat menu in the game for this. This should tell everybody how difficult flying in a ship that can take 6 regular laser shots is. Tie Fighters only take 2.

Those mspaints are really bringing back the nostalgia...good old TIE fighter. It needs more PEW PEW lasers though.

Aaaand, we're back.

Well, we survived the impact, thanks to outer space eject seats :haw: and Imperial Grade Bacta!


We gotta work out more

Anyway, due to our awesome skillz at flying, we've been inducted into the highly secretive Order of the Emperor. Maybe we'll finally be noticed by that hot chick from earlier :q:



:raise: Because that giant glowing purple thing on my arm isn't obvious at all.

Well, its time to get our breifing for our next mission:


"You will fly a TIE Fighter designated as Alpha 1. You will have one wingman. I understand that 2 man squadrons seems a bit unusual to you, but we're going to do this for the rest of the game anyway."

"You will fly a patrol around the space station DC-12. Go back and forth from the station and the nav-bouy for approximately an hour."

"Engage any rebel craft that arrive in the area (there will be about 30 waves of them). Unfortunately, the rebels don't seem so keen on adopting our 2 man squadron idea."

"We're also arming your TIE Fighter with Advanced Concussion missiles. Each of these singularly are more expensive than an entire squadron of TIE Fighters, so try to use them before you inevitabley get killed by one of those shuttles with a rear mounted turret."

Fantastic.

Well, should we launch now? Talk to our CO about this? Find that shadowy figure again?

Take over the Empire and replace all unshielded aircraft with planes from WW2; but the planes can fly in space. Those planes have better shooting power and can take more than two shots from a laser.

That reminds me, why can the space ships only go as fast as a jet plane coming in for a landing? The fastest ship could only go was around 333. I don't know what unit that is in but it took a lot longer than 3 seconds a while to go one kilometer so it's not meters per second.
