BrianDavion Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 loved the strike fighter when I used it on the PTS. it'll praobly be my primary fighter in live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwipe Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Whether taking a front line or support stance, the Strike Fighter’s only real fear is being disabled. Scout and Gunship systems like the Interdiction Drive and Slicing Device can quickly strip away a Strike Fighter’s advantage What is this Slicing Device they are talking about? It was in the beta I recall but havn't seen it on the PTS. Do they mean the sabotage probe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoUniverseBC Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Great write-up! I'm not a huge fan of the Strike Fighter class (Scouts FTW!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemarus Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) I love GSF, but I hate the Imperial Strike fighters designs so much. They look nothing like anything else in Star Wars, and they certainly don't look like the aggressive mainstay dogfighter of the Sith Empire should look. The whole Rycer line looks more like a tug or shuttle than a space superiority fighter. The Imperial Scout looks far more menacing and dangerous. I wish they'd made a miniaturized version of the Fury class Interceptor--the Sith Empire's primary fighter should look aggressive and dangerous--and most of all horizontal. On the other hand, the Republic Strike designs are fantastic. Edited November 20, 2013 by Nemarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they mean the sabotage probe? Perhaps he is referring to the Slicer's Loop active crew ability?

AMightyKnight Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I tried the Strike Fighter on the PTS but personally didnt really like it. The desing has too much firepower and not enough speed, armor and/or maneuverability to back it up. With my Scout i can practically fly circles around a Strike Fighter, kill him with ease or boost away to live to fight another day. Lack of maneuverability really hurts the Strike Fighter. To me it feels neither like strike or fighter, just cumbersome compared to a Scout. I freely admit it ended up banging into rocks more then once during combat maneuvers. Rarely happend to me with the Scout though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gehrik Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Do they plan to release other ships down the road? If so maybe Imps will get more of a variety of mean looking ships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourtneyWoods Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Good morning! Just wanted to let y'all know that I have updated the Strike Fighter blog so that "Slicing Device" is now "Sabotage Probe." Sorry for the confusion - this was recently renamed. Thanks!

Oh well, it's not all about looks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWTHOR Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 What is the functional purpose of that Canopy/Bridge over the cockpit? Is it a weapon pod, engines? Seems like a fragile target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
