Oh come on! I was talking about the problem with the Lusankia in the Bacta War (do you now what that is? It is a novel!) and in canon Lusankya is exactly the same as an Executor class SSD, in the mod it is not that way because PR made it better so that it wouldn't be the same as a normal Executor, because it is a hero ship. Its the same as Rebel Dream, the Admitor and the other hero ships, they are just normal SD, but PR decided to make them better so that you have some advantage when you buy a hero trasport. Please think before talking about things you don't know.

Well if we were to track Stackpole's (the original x-wing author) work back into his battletech days, we would discover he did the same thing there. He had battlemechs moving too nimbly and performing heroic acts that really were more robotech than battletech. Though he'd justify their ability by the skills of the pilot, he broke the boundries of the basic machine's capabilities continually.

Stackpole really is a great author though. He just happens to specialize in plot and character continuity, not mechanics. He has been responsible for moving more than one franchise's central plot. He's no physicist or engineer, so basing mechanical canon around his imaginations is probably inappropriate.

And where can I build this Lusankya? Isn't there anywhere a list where you can buy what? it took me ages to find Cronal... which is my favorite by the way..

edit: got to look better next time. I found the list.. but can you buy the Lusankya in this mod by the way?

Yes. You need to have Wedge at a level 5 space station. He costs like...225,000 Credits?

When I GOT the Bulwark-class i was very impressed especially when upgraded to mark-2 and the k-wing is awsome too. When i got the Lusankya i was Amazed! It's just like the rebels. they steal something powerful, custimize it to their style, upgrade it, unleash it aganst the empire, and laugh to AN OTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

I'ma go with the Republic Star destroyer and the Maxed out acclimator. On fighters I'm go with the A-wing and the Skipray. (maxed out of course)

[coinich]

Believe it or not, the DP-27 Gunship is quite awsome, IMO. It has the strength to handle good bomber assults, and when used in numbers, can take down an ISS 1.

I actually rather loathe the skiprays, simply because they are so hard to kill!

Everybody play with maxed out units? Only I find TIE Fighters & TIE Bombers that cool? (roleplaying reasons of course)

[Kitkun]

I'll have to go with the Nova Wings (A half dozen of those things can defend a system!), the Gamma transports (They last forever and are extremely affective against the lighter frigates.), the Lancers (They just tear apart fighters and bombers.), and the Sovereign and it's 15 second timer of doom.

I must say, I am rather fond of the Dominator-class Star Destroyer, as well as that freighter - I forget the name - the one that looks like the one Dash Render has in Shadows of the Empire, but I think it's a different design. Someone will know the one I mean.

[Kitkun]

The Barloz? It's the closest one I can think of to Dash's.

[sideshow_bob]

The Assualt gunboat (The only ship i used in Xwing vs. TIE)!!!!!!

for capitals, though i must say the soverign is awsome

[blue4n]

Dash Rendars ship was made on correlia it is similar looking to the Melleniam falcon It's name is Outrigger. Lancers are great! I hate the corvets! The strike class medium is good for long range but nothing more!

[Pellean]

I think it's Outrider.

The lusakya atm is gibbled in auto-resolve, because while it has immense health it's doing the same damage as wedge does in a lone x-wing (easy edit to set it's damage to the same as the executorII's).

There's a problem from EaW with heroes and auto-resolve. Like it doesn't look at the numbers on the hero transport or something. The problem is, if I put them on the company, it'd be nonsense on land . It may work for you if you bring everything into the battle before auto-resolving, but I don't recall.

[keraunos]

Autoresolve is still somewhat strange. I've already mentioned on this board one case (vanilla FoC) when after battle 2MC-80 + couple of squadrons + lvl 5 station vs ~40 VSDs and Interdictors i got tired of hunting few squadrons of TIEs and autoresolved... :o I've lost MC-80 :o

Best house rule: Do not autoresolve with your heroes over the planet. Ever.

Amen to that.

I lost Vader, Mara Jade and Boba Fett to a couple of mines ¬_¬ .
