Expanding Fronts is a massive modification for Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds aimed to breathe life back into the classic LucasArts strategy game by adding various new units, features, and gameplay elements. Each of the 8 civilizations are being reworked and enhanced to make each feel more unique and authentic to the universe, while maintaining the classic Battlegrounds gameplay. In addition, the Scenario Editor is being filled with hundreds of new units, buildings, effects, triggers, and objects to allow campaign and scenario designers more freedom than ever before.
Escort duties are handled superbly by the Interceptor. These fast and agile craft can fly circles around their competition, and can quickly swat down nearly any aerial opposition. However, their flimsy armor and weak capabilities against ground units keep them permanently locked into their anti-air role.
Where air-to-ground superiority is needed, look no further than the Attacker. These flying gun platforms can unleash devastating firepower against infantry and mechs alike, and their heavy armor will keep them safe while doing so. Attackers are slow and costly, but can shred nearly any enemy ground force to ribbons in moments.
wouldnt a better term be, gunship?
Unfortunately, not all of those are gunships, so it wouldn't fit. ...Though I reckon there has to be a better word than "attacker."
We used 'Attacker' because it is the real-world designation for that type of combat aircraft. We can easily switch it if we can come up with a better title.
It just seems a bit.. plain? Im sure y'all can think of something a bit more intimidating
like striker
Striker was the other primary choice, yes.
I think the B-wing and the ARC-170 should be replaced. They're just heavy star fighters.
Models are amazing, though.
I see that they're very powerfull, but I bet that if they meet a anti-air unit, they're simply pushovers
Just wondering, but wouldn't the TIE Defender be more suited for the Attacker role? It was considered to be the most powerful fighter the Empire had build.
Unless you made the Defender as an upgrade/different unit, then I understand.
So sexy!
