*The B-wing is deemed broken due to it's improbable speed, it was known to be both slow and not very maneuverable since it was meant to attack capitol class vessels. The version in game does not even remotely match that, as more often then not it can out maneuver y and A wings and sith infiltrators denoting that until the vessel is appropriately slowed down it is similar to the redtail albeit signifigantly less offencive.
**Barred from use by admins due to a major bug in it's design.
To put it simply, your goal is to destroy any and all hostile targets in the vacinity of the planet your raiding, with a preference to attacking navy targets. after all capitol ships are destroyed and all their fighter escorts are shot down you've completed your run successfully. With luck you'll have destroyed a quarter of a given fleet or more. It is beleived that any given nation operates up to eight full fleets, which inturn means that your actions on the soleplay side can change the outcome of a war.
Bombing Raid Mission Points
- Screenshot player stats before takeoff.
- Head to target destination and avoid all combat with AI units.
- Constantly check the Radar for Possible interceptors.
- Arrive at destination and begin your attack starting with capitol ships.
- Attempt to wipe out any and all NPC resistance.
- If zone is clear, you have raided successfully and can pull out.
*Using radar means monitoring the Player chat window.
A Bombing Run is the same operation, but the interceptors in the area are your prime target and then afterwards you mop up the NPC units as an afterthought.
Chain Bombing Raids
This tactic has to the best of my knowledge only been used once, it entails a series of bombing raids in a given nation hitting one planetary region per sector and then making a run for it. The goal is to hit as many areas as is possible and preferably avoid contact with any player-character interceptors along the way. Of course as I said before, you should take a screenshot of your stats before and after the run.
The Utility-Escort
Only one ship belongs to this class and thatis the Y-wing, ships of this class can take a lot of punishment, aren't the fastest things in space, and tend to have a less then attractive appearance. However, these same ships bear the unique ability to fufill almost any mission profile except that of a absolute interceptor. The advantage to using the sole ship in this class is easy, it's tough as nails, and has a killer shot formation that makes it hard to miss on targets directly facing you. Add a generous caro capacity, good sheilding good space for nanobots and sheild batteries and that armamment ahd this ship is the nastiest of the nasty inthe right hands. Ironically very few are good with this ship.
Patrol/Scouts
Patrol-scout ships are small maneuverable and often lightly armed they don't exist to engage in battles they are there to cover ground and spot problems for their forces, they can be used to fight delaying actions however. Normally against Interceptors these craft have a hard time since the speeds are matched.
Interceptors
These ships posess an equal amount of speed guns and protection and usually are best on the attack not the defence. normally in fights in volving such fighters the battle is decided inthe first 15 seconds, as that is often how long it takes to put their target in flight.
Gunboats and Cruisers
A few select ships define this, mostly the NX01 desfines cruisers while the Millenium flacon defines a gunboat, the difference is all in the targeting profile, and the sheer amound of guns availible to apply against targets. Typically a cruiser is slower, wont dock in some places and is better for engaging hard targets. While gun boats are better off attacking targets with tough hulls.
