Scary Scary Torps

Post by weemadando »

Look at the torps in AotC as compared to the capship torps (as pointed out by MoO).

Now look at the torps in AotC as compared to those in the good ole X-wing games.

I really really hope that they don't make them that fucking agile in the next game.

Don't nitpick. Torps, missiles, they're both warheads capable of doing massive damage.

Anyway, I wouldn't worry about that, weemadando. Games are designed to be beaten.

I pointed out torpedoes in AotC?

ICS refers to capital ship torpedoes that are specifically used for planetary bombardment, and use against heavily defended areas. The only explanation possible is that the torpedoes used by the Acclamator class ships are vastly more powerful than the 200 GT weapons carried by the starships.

As far as Jango's torpedo, I hardly think that needed to be pointed out, but to be honest with everyone I don't remember pointing out anything. Are you sure you got the source right? I don't want to take credit for anything where it isn't due.

I was going to reply in the thread, but then thought make a new thread out of it.

I mean, the torps and missiles in the old games would have trouble out-cornering a supertanker and they were scary enough. Based on what we see in AotC... Eeek.

The thing Slave 1 fired at Obi-wan at the end of the fight was a torp, even though it looked like a missile to me.
