I dont know of a D2 mission where you can have destructible planets w/o losing the ship collision destruction upon impact with the planet.

This station is the ultimate power in the universe!

I always preferred the Tie Advanced to the Tie Defender. Just a little less housekeeping made it a sweet machine.

Well, I figured it out for my Star Wars mod.

I remember you talking about your Star Wars mod before, and I wondered how you'd stop people from just shooting the hangar pods and thus killing all the fighters.

Making the Destroyer (base) and the pods immobile, and giving the pods the cloak, is a neat idea.  Do you find that they use the cloak reliably?

If they drop from a base or immobile ship that's not moving, the small box model hangars are well within the protective shield radius of their mothership.

Because the pods immediately cloak, they are nearly invulnerable to anything except concentrated direct fire weapons. Even a modest hull and armor would keep them safe from enemy fire while cloaked. I mean... anything is possible if someone is bent on killing them, but they'd likely not get too much a chance and at considerable risk too.

That brings up a question, tho. Would a capital ship be forced to deal with fighters 1st? I've often wondered what's faster. A fighter or a Star Destroyer. In SWANH, a Star Destroyer chased down and nearly got the millenium falcon. So maybe they are as fast at impulse... but the Falcon is far more manueverable. Why didnt she just change course and head in the opposite direction than the SD? We have seen how clumsy the SD's are to manuever. Maybe because the Falacon was lining up to do a jump is all I can think of.

There are a lot of particulars to think about.
