Perhaps they will even go so far as assigning points to each ship and giving each squadron a max points per round. I suspect this will be done in an asymmetric way.

So, the designers, IMHO, have some creative license in how they balance the gameplay between the two factions. I’m not sure the movies are all that consistent on the exact “physics” and capabilities that each ship has. My point was that the ships in the movies do not follow the laws of physics. So I can see where you are coming from but they would still be a tactical shooter compared to an arcade shooter. Now yes the space sims of back in the day aren't as detailed as say the 300 plus page manuel I got for IL-2 teaching me how to dive bomb. Would it not be a milsim if it was sci-fi? Simulating land and air warfare in the setting of the scifi world they envisioned. While working on it they switched to near future. While it's not a real setting that doesn't mean you can't make a 'sim' based off of what rules can be established and extrapolated from the movies.įor example Arma 3 was originally supposed to have a scifi setting. I guess we can go with tactical space combat games.

It's the widely agreed upon term for games like Wing Commander, X-Wing, etc. I am expecting this game to be somewhat 'class-based' - so it will be interesting to see which advantages/disadvantages they give to each ship.įor the record - IMHO, Star Wars space combat is not 'realistic' so I find it really hard to call any game based on it a 'sim'. I am sure they will 'balance' the ships in some way. Playing through the game will earn you weapons, hulls, engines and shields to allow you to tweak your starfighter into whatever you want it to be, while cosmetics will alter your cockpit, ship exterior and pilot.Įeehhhhhhh.I think this will be a pass from me. Squadrons will include cosmetic and gameplay-related customisation, all upgrades will be earned solely through playing the game. Locations will be both known and unknown, with Yavin Prime and the shattered moon of Galitan announced so far. Fleet Battles will task each team with destroying the opposing teams flagship, while Dogfights will simply ask each team to destroy as many opponents as possible. Multiplayer will take the form of 5v5 battles, with two modes announced. Tie Defender Mod Star Wars Battlefront Fly the Tie DefenderThis mod replaces the Tie Interceptor (mod is still work in progress)Note this is PC only and on. Star Wars: Battlefront, Star Wars, TIE Interceptor, Death Star. The two pilots you play as will show you both sides of the game's conflict – one flies for the New Republic's Vanguard Squadron, and the other for the shattered Galactic Empire's Titan Squadron. Star Wars, TIE Bomber, TIE Defender, TIE Fighter, TIE Interceptor, TIE Phantom.

Alternating between two customisable pilots, the story will feature brand new characters, and cameos from familiar faces. Squadrons will feature a single player story mode set after the Battle of Endor and the destruction of the Death Star II.
