Oh? Name me one time Luke kills a stormtrooper.
Indirectly killing a bunch of Stormtroopers via the Death Star explosion doesn't count.

Problem would be differentiating them from the normal ships given their size. They'd have to give them a glow or special contrail or an icon or something, and even then they'd be harder to hit than the two current heroes. But then the whole hero starship thing needs a bit of a rework, so why not add those.

Yes but considering how good the UC tree is running on a PS3, I am still mind blown how good ND are. UC 4 will be the next king.
Loving this game so far. I hope they have lots of new content for it and can't wait for SW SP game with this engine.

Walker Assault is my favorite "main" mode.
Supremacy
Supremacy. Walker Assault is an unbalanced mess.

Walker Assault, but Supremacy is what I am playing a lot right now until they balance out Walker Assault some more.

How is it unbalanced?

Walker Assault is considered the primary mode. Supremacy is up there right behind it I think.
My other two favorite modes are Hero Hunt and Fighter Squadron.

Supremacy is the better mode, but Walker Assault really should be played if it's going to be your only match. Especially your first match. It's going to really give you that "This is Star Wars" feeling.

Vader's Tie would be extreme damage but like half the health of the Slave 1 or something like that.
I want flyable Y-wings & B-Wings.
So I managed to get this finally today. £20 tip in work helped. My god I actually shouted out for joy about 10 seconds into the speeder chase training mission. Holy god it is perfect. Amazing how well the controls for the speeders work in that level. Feels like I'm in the fucking movie (when you switch off the UI). Just amazing. Worth the £43 I spent right there!
I can understand people being miffed by a lack of content but my god the game is just bombastically fun at times.

Endor is pretty self explanatory. Tat lets Rebels have 3 speeders on the final leg and Imperials get no ships? They gave in to the whiners of the beta and nerfed the shit out of everything on the Imperial side.
The game in general is pretty poorly balanced, but WA is really poor compared to Supremacy.

Yeah I noticed that when I had a Speeder and I wasn't easily being wiped out by the interceptors.
They should put a defense fighter in there along with two speeders and then two ties and an interceptor. That should balance it out a bit.
I was just curious as to what the new qualms were with balance... as I like asymmetrical balance in certain games... such as Star Wars... It should be hard to the rebels to win Hoth... It should be hard for the Empire to win Endor.
Imperials just need to remember the the AT-ST has homing missiles as does anyone that takes Ion torpedoes.
I guess, I still don't feel like any leg of a map should feature ships for one side and none for the other.
I love playing this game for fun but looking closely, it's a fucking mess if you aim to play it any other way than just casually killing stuff.
Walker Assault is the worst, by far. The rebel advantage is one thing, but now people are just crashing A-Wings (which are IMPOSSIBLE to fucking kill for some reason that probably doesn't make any sense) into my ships on purpose, killing them in one hit while they lose no health. Also, wtf happened to the AT-ST? In the beta, it was really fun to use and not as easy to kill. Now it's basically just shoot any heavy weapon at it for 20 seconds and you destroy it. It's also inaccurate as hell.
In my mind, the "lack of content" isn't even the issue with this game as reviewers say. I get a rotation of the same 4 maps in Halo 5 yet I still enjoy it. I'm not saying that's a good thing, but considering that for different modes you get different variations of maps based on the planet, I think it's fine. There's actually a fitting amount of content for a casual Star Wars multiplayer game here for me. The real problem is the horrendous balancing issues and design oversights. "How do we choose who becomes hero in Hero Hunt?" "The last person who shoots the current hero!" And don't even get me started on trying to complete the battle/survival missions on Master difficulty.

I've seen Slave 1 instantly destroyed in three games in a row now because of the Millennium Falcon ramming into it, not even with the shield on, one time was because I flew straight into it myself and barely lost any damage but took it out with most of its health.
I love the game, and theres so much potential, but the balance is just shit.

Well it's not useful at all for larger distance, I don't think they will nerf much.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm certain everyone starts out with that weapon.
Maybe it's just me, but I've had no luck at all shooting ANY blaster at long range if it's not a pulse cannon or homing shot. I'll just stick with my short-medium range tactics for now in prep for when I finally unlock the DL-44.

If you're talking about the DL-44, it's the last weapon you unlock. You can only have it from the start if you buy the Deluxe edition.
The official servers are shut down, so the game cannot be played online without modifications. However, mods exist that re-enable the functionality and there are still many people playing online.

The EE-3 is a good long range weapon, and it's still competitive at short range. That's why I stick to it most of the time, except when I'm playing some of the very small maps in the game.

Just want to put in another plug regarding smoke grenades. On Hoth and Tatooine smoke grenades can mean the difference between stalemates at choke points in the wide open versus your team pushing through to a capture point.
Ignore Walker Assault, it looks great and ticks nostalgia boxes but Supremacy and Drop Zone are far more enjoyable.
I never get matched up with a good team. My team ALWAYS loses
Maybe you are the weakest link. ;-)
I played drop zone in the beta. Fun mode. How's Droid ruin?
A tree to surpass Uncharted 3.Them trees.

Squadron is so good that I really hope they flesh it out more. Tons of fun with it, but getting bored because of how shallow it is. Needs more ships and more differences between those ships. Also, why do 10 v 10 with AI, just do 20 v 20 no AI
Yea just played a few games of it for the first time. It's fun but I would hope they could add more ships. If anything it's just a mode I'll play to fly around and shoot shit lol
I really don't think so. I'm usually in the top 8
Becoming the hero multiple times. I did this by hanging back a little and trying to get the killing shot on the hero. Let the other people become fodder. When I was the hero I found an area on the map that I could cover more easily and just camped out. It was by far the hardest mode for me to win on.

Having your partner go in with you and feed you kills as the hero.
I mean, I would never do that, but I'm sure it would work.
