Excellent choice of Star Wars music for the trailer. I've always enjoyed that section from ESB

Lobok posted:Were missiles added originally just because it's like a fighter jet game? I don't remember anything other than lasers in the main trilogy and for how the battles were supposed to be like old World War dogfights that makes sense. Concussion missiles were introduced around the time of RotJ, I want to say in the novelization of the movie? They're what the Falcon used to blow up the reactor in the Death Star.

Acebuckeye13 posted:This is... kind of a weird take? imo the space dogfights are the heart and soul of the franchise, and TLJ only had one, at the beginning. My brain is actually broken in exactly the right way to enjoy the space B-17s, but after that the film has nothing, and even goes out of its way to blow up all the Resistance Starfighters and kill their pilots to loudly signal "THERE WILL BE NO MORE SPACE DOGFIGHTS IN THIS FILM, HOPE YOU LIKED THE SPACE BOMBERS 'CAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU GET." Compare that to literally every other film in the franchise (With the sole exception of RoS, which gets negative points for bringing back Wedge and then sticking him in a turret instead of a cockpit), and it's pretty disappointing. Remind me where the space dogfights in Empire are? I guess strafing the AT-ATs or the asteroid sequence?

I've been playing X-Wing Alliance again with the fancy graphics mods to get myself hype for Squadrons and I've found that anything with a laser turret rips me in half. Apparently I am Bad At Games now.

and dumb fire your payload. If you don't the capital ship turrets will be able to target and shoot down your torpedoes.

Dpulex posted:Is there a ship in the sequel trilogy that is better than anything in the prequel trilogy? Lol of course not because the ST is bad. Some people might think the TIE silencer is neat, but they are wrong. The U-Wing has a swing wing which is just inherently cool, but I guess Rogue One isn't technically a sequel film so there you go.
