Description
One of the two last New Republic ships we need to show, the MC30c acts as a heavy torpedo cruiser. It excels at using its proton torpedo launchers to quickly take down structures and large enemy vessels.
Can't wait to see some of these in action.
I hated these things in Foc, lol
Me too, this and the Corellian Gunship always made me think, "So what is the point in these shields anyways?"
In most star wars lore shields blocked both physical and energy based attacks. Some books spoke of two different layers of shields such as ray shielding and particle shielding.
Here is a link to a wiki page: Starwars.wikia.com
One Empire at War FOC mod that incorporates this is the Empire Civil War Mod If you're interested.
The shield penetrating abilities may also be disabled in the game ini files or XML files (I forget which one). just don't screw around with those though if you don't have some clue as to what your doing as you could wreck your game and have to do a clean install and nobody likes doing that.
strange thing, if you take, not only SW, but ST, that is much more scientific, you can't pass a shield using a proton Torpedo, but a B-1 battle droid, or a suttle on the star trek case, you can!
Guess it's got to do with kinetic energy and the surface area it is applied to. A slow moving battle droid has less energy than a torpedo that needs a certain speed to be able to hit the target. As for shuttles, they can't pass shields, just check ST 5, when have to land the shuttlecraft while the Enterprise is being threatened by a Bird of Prey.
I played as the Rebels most of the time, so I loved them.
