I was thinking of taking my old Joystick out of mothballs. Lag back in the dialup days kept me from playing so much. Anyone want to give this a go? :)

I'd like to play! I have it!

I got it at the local BJ's Wholesale Club along with X-Wing and TIE Fighter for like $15. That was like a year ago.

Ah, I remember once where I decided to take out a SSD (it was just lying there, no shooting) with my Corellian freighter, prolly the Falcon. After I had fired the missiles I put it on auto fire.... it took me 40 mins before I had destroyed the ship, but damn it gave good points. (Yes, I destroyed the shields first)


Allright, allright, divine wind then.

*mumbles*I wanna see the bastards write perfect danish.... ;)

Padawan, its a flight simulator basically. Except in this flight simulator your flying star wars ships through space into comabt. In X-Wing Alliance they added flying corellian freighter craft and also some rather obscure star wars universe craft. The single player has a decent story line where you are a member of a merchant family. You fly missions in correllian craft, mostly cargo pickups but some fighting. Then you join the rebellion and get involved in a lot of fighting. The story takes place between the battle of Hoth, it includes a few elements from Shadows of the Empire and ends with you flying the Falcon in the Battle of Endor.

There's also a combat simulator in SP where you can redo missions in different craft or play some melee or skirmishes, you can even create your own. Multiplayer I think is about the same way. Never really played it.

You can probably find the game in a computer game store or maybe even walmart for around $10 or so if you're in the US.

When you are told something for years, you learn to accept it. But, after the truth is revealed, you feel conufusion, isolation, and depression. Then you ask, where do I belong? I'm searching for that answer.

Heres a challenge, us vs. a Super Star Destroyer.

Me and a buddy on the zone did it all the time, all you do it wipe out the shield generators then switch to gunner mode (if you're a corellian craft) then shoot downward as you hover above it, evading its shots at the same time. :)

EDIT: DJ, why don't we start Rogue Squadron? :P

Lucy..... how the hell do you want to make a kamikaze out there? Kamikaze means heavenly wind, or something like that... (btw, know what you mean, just trying to annoy you before I get the chance to kill you :D) :P

I think I just got XWA working right in Windows XP. It used to freeze during the mission briefings.

You'll have to set the xwingalliance executable to run in windows98 compatibility mode. Right click on the exe and go to properties. Hit the "Compatibility" tab, and go from there. I'm getting my joystick buttons all set up nice.. soon i will be a force to be reconed with!
