It's outdated, faggot. Sometimes the "old reliable" ship isn't so reliable, it's just old.Y-Wing is best-wing, though.
Shouldn't the Y-Wing be compared to the A-10 Thunderbolt, since it's heavily-armed and durable but slow?

Bullshit, none of those snubfighers could make the Kessel Run in as few parsecs as the Falcon.

The base design for this thing is literally a y-wing
>>315287349

How was anything moved? They're multi-purpose fighter/bombers. We've had several of them in real life, as well. Plus the Y-Wing can do both surgical strike bombings and carpet bombing.

SUPERIOR
the thread reminded me the coolest looking plane there is (apart of course from B-2)
This (Rihkxyrk, in the center) was my favorite SWG JTL ship after they did that chassis re-balance.
Sharing with you guys just because.
Y-wing: bomber
X-wing: multi-role
A-wing: air-superiority
B-wing is made to deal damage to capital ships. You can class them as a torpedo/ dive bomber.
Lucas modeled sw craft with ww2 in mind.
A snowspeeder is basicly a glorified Stuka.
>>315288924
THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST
Friendly reminder you could scrap every A-Wing as soon as they were produced and still end up with the most cost-effective fighter in history :^)
>>315285008
I would say xwing is an f-16 not an f-14

>>315287441
Doesn't look like they have anything in common but if they did it wouldn't make any difference anyway. You know the A-7 was based on the F-8 right, despite having wildly different specifications?

>>315290039

Best fighter right here.
>>315290212
>Doesn't look like they have anything in common
The nose of the aircraft is identical, as well as the body and the two horizontal engines
They just gave it a dual cockpit, two rotating ball turret guns , 4 wings with external pylons, and a third engine
>>315289058
Y's really depend on which version you're using and how you fit it out. Depending on the version it can be a fighter (the single-seat A4), a multirole (the two-seat S3) or a bomber (BTL-B). They've all got different specifications and performance.

You literally can't go higher up the canonicity ladder than what's shown in the films, and ILM decided what that was. If they say Y-Wings are as fast as X-Wings, they are. You can get around that by saying the A4 was a different version than the S3 which is the Y-Wings that usually come up in the EU but like it or not it's how it is.
>>315285008
Where are the TIE Advanced and TIE Defender?
>>315290174
Then why does he give his ability as a navigator as a reply to the question whether the ship is fast or not, on a route that is not fraught with black holes?
These EU explanations are really bad at hiding lucas´ fuck-ups,and they are not even canon.
>>315287453

>>315291647
They have by saying the Y-Wing is the same speed as the X-Wing

>>315290592
My only problem really is the Republic ships should look more like the TIE fighters and imperial stuff. This is obviously a proto- Xwing but I always felt the CIS should have had the rebel ships.
It just makes more sense logistically

They didn't fix that in the Special Edition? Geez. Especially love the candle-like flame put over the Executor's bridge.
>>315291868
Nowhere once in the films is the speed of anything stated, only shown and never once is the Y-Wing shown to be inconsistent with that chart.
Pic related, look at the relative agility and acceleration rates.
>>315292504

>>315294120
It'll probably be a long ass time before I ever actually show it. I have to literally start from nothing but SDL.
Thankfully, the game's flight physics are very simple. Everything ever only moves towards where it is pointed. No Newtonian anything.
I have no fucking clue how I'll do AI though. I'm going to do that last. Maybe that's when I'll go super public with it so someone else can do it.
I'd also like to do multiplayer, though I don't know if I'll do it by adding it into each game or by also supporting X-Wing VS TIE Fighter.

That picture has a really tragic backstory about two valiant stormtroopers who found love on the battle field with each other and tried to flee from the oppressive Empire and its tyrannical anti-homosexuality laws, only to crashland on a primitive backwater planet in the Unknown Regions where the local government was as intolerant as the Empire.

>>315291868
The Y-wing is as fast as an X-Wing when modified as the rebels have by removing the engine couplings and the rear gunner.
In a straight line it is fast, but not maneuverable. They were to function essentially as a torpedo bomber with the rear gunner being able to wipe out TIEs or what have you firing from behind. At Yavin the rebels removed the second seat and gunner for speed and it obviously cost them. Trained Y wing gunners are in short supply anyway as we saw at Hoth, where there were only a few walkers taken out because only a trained gunner could make a shot onto a walker leg like that.
This is partially why the X-Wing came into its own, it could function at its best with only one pilot or a pilot+astromech droid. It is also more maneuverable and more easily modified as a true multi role, though it is also considerably more expensive.
In this way the Y-Wing is more like an F-4. Fast in a line, not very maneuverable, but cheap and they made a shit ton. X-Wings are your F-15.
>>315294935
This guy knows his shit
y-wing is pleb ship
>>315287357
Y Wings are more like f-16's.
They used to be the best air superiority fighter, were out classed but are still used but are mainly used for CAS.
So which one is the F-22 Claptor?
>>315292346
Sienar Fleet Systems made the Jedi Eta-2 Interceptors you see Anakin and Obiwan use in EP3
>>315294935
You forgot that Y-wings have the options of bombs the X-wing cannot carry. + being able to carry a bigger payload.
The B-wing is litterally built to replace the Y-wing in terms of the heavy hitting role. But Y-wings are cheaper + have superior speed to they still maintain their own usefullness.
>>315288713
>tfw tie bombers don't simply launch a salvo of missiles macross style.

Though I will say I already figured out and completed the dynamic music system, used in someone else's remake attempt
http://azrapse.es/xwvm/
A Unity sample demonstrating it is here. Though I am not using Unity for the actual game.
>>315294779
For now I'm using the same physics as the original game. (wings split and spiral off while the main hull keeps spinning in a line until blowing up)
I'll experiment with other physics for it, including adding 2D debris chunks or making it look more like the films in some way
I should mention that graphical upgrades are not my intention. It will look more or less the same as the original games, except with higher resolutions. If someone wants a graphical overhaul, they can do it themselves. I'm all gameplay-first.
I'm sorry, but this is the GOAT Star Wars ship, a true patrician choice.

The A-wing is fast because it's just two really powerful engines.

>>315298917
The first Death Star was the size of a moon. The second Death Star is twenty times or so bigger.
Both Death Star's probably had enough gravity to attract out of control star ships.
>>315298917
Maybe the engines were receiving improper instructions and it just happened to 'sink' rather than fly in any other direction?
>>315298416
don't forget they're named after the shapes of a non-existent language lmao
>>315298917
Considered the distance between the ship and the death star it's even more strange.

How the fuck do the Rebels afford better fighters than the Empire? And for that matter why does the Empire skimp on their superiority fighter craft but splurge on seemingly everything else.
>>315299763
Tarkin refused to send out fighters because he was so overconfident of the Death Star. Only Vader's personal squadron was mobilized.
>>315299763
Jovans Karroll of Thetanis IV, the most loved admiral in the whole story of the Empire was having his retirement party aboard the Death Star, so many pilots where on leave of absence that day.
>>315299792
The empire a good fighter in the Tie and then just mass produced them out the ass. The rebels got what they could, but Endor was them throwing everything they had into one battle. The Empire however could still call upon countless reserves.
>>315299792
They like big and bad.

Question to Star Wars friends, after RoTJ what happens?
Everyone says that the Empire still controls countless worlds and has legions of troops and star ships elsewhere in the Galaxy. But as a movie/game only pleb I don't understand how to reconcile that with the seeming final victory over the Emperor and his Deathstar.
>>315301402
Ground game is almost done. Just gotta implement Jedi and a few other things.
It will take YEARS to complete Jump to lightspeed...
Just kill me.
Would I die if I went at light speed in space, even if my craft gradually accelerated up to light speed? Also, wouldn't moving at light speed be really dangerous. You might ram in to a giant asteroid, or even small debris could penetrate your craft at that speed.
>>315301482
The Empire isn't a chicken with its head cut off it's a hydra. In the old EU there was a ton of in-fighting, in the new one it somehow dissolved itself after a year even though that doesn't make sense.
>>315301550

>Y-wing

>>315301482
The Rebellion crushed the Empire forces at Endor because Sheev used super mind control on all Imperial forces in the same sector to make them fight more effectively. When he died, his mind control went away and they all got super confused, had their intelligence stat reduced to 1 and shat their pants.
Afterwards the Empire splintered into dozens of different factions who were busy trying to take over and the Rebels kept pushing towards the Core Worlds. Also, dozens of worlds supposedly joined the Rebellion every day after their victory.
Then Thrawn came along, united what was left of the Empire and kicked the Rebellion's ass all over the galaxy. Until he had his secret cloning facility blown up by Luke Skywalker and his super special awesome girlfriend. Then Thrawn got stabbed to death by an angry alien manlet, and the Rebellion was pretty much victorious and managed to get most of the galaxy to join their New Republic.
Haven't read any further than that.
>>315301482
Without the Emperor to keep a firm boot planted up their collective asses, all the Moffs (regional governors) splinter off and make their own factions. Even with the Emperor gone, the government and infrastructure and troops of the Empire are still there, used by the Moffs in their attempts to carve out their own sectors of space
