Mixed raid fleet
« on: August 28, 2012, 10:46:11 PM »
Hi guys,

An issue that have happened a couple of times during a GC playthough is that sometimes the raid fleet are mixed. Most of the time its just a few Nebulon frigates alongside with one or more ISDs. I even took a screenshot during one of the space battle

Note: I was playing through the Stars Align as the IR.

That's actually a Warlord raid fleet. Zsinj commonly used Nebulon-B's and Corellian Corvettes.

Ah, okay. Didn't realize Warlords could raid too. Never mind then.

Curiosity question: It seems that the forces chosen are those that are very "representative" of each faction. In that case, why aren't Chaf destroyers, Syndics, and Phalanxes possibles for the EotH raid fleets? Those seem more "EotH"-ey (why can't I think of a better word?) than the Ascendancy

It wouldn't have worked. They'd forget to bolt down a metal plate over an access hatch leading to the main reactors, or some other mistake, and a hotshot enemy pilot would drop a bomb down there and blow the whole thing up. Now that's what the Empire would have done."

Phalanxes...  five Phalanxes?  Can you imagine?  Abandon hope.

Chafs would be nice to see jump in though.

Well I don't think raid fleets should HAVE to be defeatable. In a real combat situation, a surprise force that jumps in might force you to retreat if it is overwhelming in terms of power.

So yeah, why not have 8 Phalanxes jump in? Bring them on!

Because the raid fleets technically can't win the battle. They come from nowhere and go nowhere, so if they win the battle it's just a drain on galactic resources and could cause the freeze to come earlier, because it would mean more battles have to occur with more ships.
