Title: land forces slip by....
Post by: lolzlolz on July 14, 2008, 01:15:04 AM
enemies keep bringing land forces right past space stations and space units directly to ground, which gives me problems because if they capture i lose my space station and it is very annoying, so how can i get this to not happen if it is possible???   -_^

That's the Rebellion, they can use small (2 or 3 unit) raid fleets. Just pay more attention to ground defense...

I hate raid fleets and the rebels as well, especially when they use their artillery which is too overpowered

Tbh, i like the Raid feature.  I mean, it is the sort of tactic the Rebellion used, and by letting them invade without having to engage the powerful Imperial fleet, balances the game better.

it's toomonotonous though. i find as empire, anaxes always gets raided by han solo, a MPTL and a speeder and the occasional T4-B.

if you know that particular planet always gets raided. build some turbolasers and garrison some troops.

ok, thanks i finally know wat was happening, although they kept bringing garm bel iblis and some of the fire balls all over things :P
but ya, ive got my answer now, and i do agree with you this is actually a good idea and is realistic to star wars (know that i know what is happening)

it's true that rebel ground is too overpowered. they usually bring Garm, few MPTLs, perhaps a speeder or two and with those they always decimate my forces, no matter how good they are.

somehow, the ai use garm flawlessly, but whenever i use him, it acts like a nomada rig and doesn't fire. once one TL cannon is destroyed, you'e fucked. plus, you'd need at least 2 AT-ATs to defend.

that's weird.

well, i can get one TL to fire, but the second TLD doesn't assist unless it's horizontal to the target which takes too long and makes it vulnerable.

do u have the latest patch? it may be a glitch.... (or not)
Title: Re: land forces slip by....
Post by: grandadmiralbeck on July 16, 2008, 01:16:10 PM
it's not a glitch, the reason only one turbo fires at a time is because each turret has a certain firing arc, they dont swivel 360 they can only fire in front of them

Agreed, he is just a floating rock with guns tied on the corners.

You just have to be able to use him to his fullest effect.  I just use him as a beefed up transport. 
I also think the raid missions should be more like the corruption missions and not allow the rebels to take control of the planet.
