Pilots,

See you in the stars, pilots.

General

Custom Games

Social

• Fixed an issue where text chat could stop functioning when using a controller.

Starfighters & Components

• The TIE defender's Concussion Missile cooldown has been increased from 2.3 seconds to 6 seconds.

Not sure if we can share it or not, will check. :)

This is a thing of beauty.

This reminds me of our first prototype of the multi-lock missile. The programmer set it up so that it was effectively unlimited for sheer awesomeness, then recorded a video of himself taking down a star destroyer with one multi-shot--it would send a missile toward every turret, system, and hull section of the ISD all at once.

We presented the video to the team, accompanied by the 1812 Overture. ;)

I love that B-wing. My favourite pilot in that video! I said the same quote in my head, haha!

That bombing run was gorgeous.

That was a fun game! I was the one flying support on the Empire and tried to keep an eye on you. You had some really great positioning, pretty much always where you needed to be, making our lives difficult. ;)

Make Keo proud, pilot.

It was an honour facing off against you, pilot. I know Ian (Tiberius) feels the same. You had some good plays!

Hello, old friend :)

Love this little collab. SWTOR is also doing something, too, if you play that game. Use the code "SQUADRONS" to unlock something neat!

Very cool. Nice work!

We actually had the front/rear radar in our early prototypes, just like the old games, but ended up changing it for 2 main reasons: 1) That’s a LOT of screen real estate to burn on radar. 2) It consistently tested poorly in every non-dev playtest. We tried a few different ways of presenting it and tutorializing it, but the majority of players were always mystified by it. After a lot of testing, we simply found that the singular radar (/w outer ring) tested better with the majority of users in terms of them being able to understand it and use it effectively.

Thanks! Shen's one of my faves, he's really fun to write ^_^ His voice actor Jim Pirri deserves a ton of credit though, for doing so much with not a lot of dialogue.

That second picture made me laugh so hard I scared the cat :D

I believe in you.
