Because this week, I've added the Empire's most prominent line of starfighters next to the TIE Series. I am, of course, referring to Cygnus' Alpha-class Xg Star Wing and XM Nova Wing, which I hope at least some of you will fondly remember piloting as the assault gunboat and missile boat. Now under your tactical command, these craft are capable of inflicting massive damage to the enemy, with the Nova Wing featuring the highest warhead count per keel-meter of any production vessel ever commissioned. Statistics for these ships can be found under the Bomber and Fighter subsection of Units respectively.

[font=Arial Black][color=#3366FF]Yay! STAR WARS: TIE FIGHTER lives, after almost a decade in the grave! Thank you for bringing back some teenage memories, Phoenx.

[Phoenix Rising]

Ah! I'm glad someone else remembered that line! "Look alive, you Mu squadron pukes; you've got Z-95s on your six!"

[Rob]

LOL
Yep.
Until the TOTAL WAR series came along, the only computer games I'd ever played were Star Wars ones. TIE fighter and Dark Forces almost cost me my GCSEs!
:-)

[Phoenix Rising]

Yeah, I still play more than half Star Wars, on average. Blah, I'm such a fanboy. Oh well .

[Rob]

Yep. I'm just the same. I play about 2 hours a week on Medieval 2 Total War, around 5 hours a week STAR WARS GALAXIES (Elipe on Eclipse) and about 30 minutes each night on your PR. (This will of course shoot up upon your next release!) I'm thinking about getting this FORCE UNLEASHED when it comes out, but I've got a feeling it's not going to be released on PC.

You're in SWG? Arg, I miss that game so much, but I just couldn't keep playing past the CURB. You didn't happen to play before then, did you? I was a master rifleman/4040 doctor/4004 marksman and Jedi master weaponsmith/master merchant on Flurry. I unlocked just before Publish 10 and after the changes in 11, I thought it was lame (half of Coronet was filled with padawan robes the first day) and made my Jedi into a weaponsmith. The best damn weaponsmith on Flurry if I say so myself. When I get to the land revamp for PR, you'll definitely see its influence on my design. Here's my favorite screenshot of my main, Brynn Alastayr :

LOL Got enough rifles?
Yeah, the New Game Excrement or whatever NGE stands for was a catastrophe alright. My character is almost 4 years old but I had a serious break when the padawan robes began to fill my screen. Came back to SWG though in December 2006. You should give it another go, only you should move your characters to Eclipse!

[Phoenix Rising]

4 years? Wow, that's impressive. Unfortunately if I took up a MMO again, the mod would probably be badly neglected . I loved the player economy, social depth, freedom from being able to solo everything, intense PvP, and so many of the other unique aspects that made up SWG, but from what I understand, most of that is history... so probably best to keep my character that way as well . Two good years was enough. Plus what would I do without my Jawa ion rifle ? Actually, just for fun, I'll re-paste my rifle inventory prior to the CURB just so you can see how crazy I was. These are just the ones I carried around everywhere:

· x2 ≥20% damage sliced T-21s, for PvE
· x2 ≥20% damage sliced DXR-6bs (prior to ADKs), for PvE
· x1 ≥30% damage sliced unstocked Laser Rifle, for unbuffed PvE
· x1 ≥30% damage sliced Jawa Ion Rifle, in case I ever needed a stun attack in PvE
· x1 34% damage sliced base Krayt SG-82, in case I ever needed a cold attack in PvE or PvP humiliation
· x1 35% damage sliced Laser "Sniper" Rifle with +120 ideal range mod, for picking off runners trying to reset the base destruction sequence or any other situation that required deadly accuracy
· x1 mind poison Tusken Rifle, for strafing crowds in PvP
· x1 mind poison DXR-6b, for strafing crowds in PvP
· x1 mind fire Tusken Rifle, for strafing crowds in PvP
· x1 mind fire DXR-6b, for strafing crowds in PvP
· x1 30% damage sliced +60 Gorax Berserker Rifle, in case I ever needed a kinetic attack or for showing off
· x1 damage sliced pre-nerf T-21 with +0/-32/+0 range mods, for point-blank PvP
· x1 damage sliced pre-nerf T-21 with -90/-32/+0 range mods, for destroying turrets and AT-STs
· x1 30% damage sliced +105 Krayt Jawa Ion Rifle, possibly the best gun I ever crafted post-slice, for taking out unbuffed players in one shot or buffed players in as few as two
· x1 speed sliced looted near-exceptional (+≈150 min/+≈175 max over unsliced crafted, virtually no HAM) anti-decayed DXR-6b, for clearing cities of Crackdown troops unbuffed, attacking weakly-armored or unarmored PvP targets, killing Dark Jedi, or basically any other situation

Wow....that's a lotta rifles

You could supply an army with those. Is this from Pre-NGE or after?

I played SWG for a little while, but all I played was the trial version. I had a level 21 Spy when my trial ended.

If I had the money, I might have kept playing it for a while.

EDIT: Oh crap, I noticed this was a dead topic right after I posted this, sorry.

Please delete this post and forget this ever happened.
