Nemarus Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm not really a fan of the model shown in the screenshots today. It seems more like a Geonosis asteroid. I'd prefer one with more of the Hoth system look. I don't want to start leveling up the current Asteroid if there's going to be an alternate model offered in the Cartel Market soon.

Armonddd Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'd be ok with paying for a comet. Asteroids aren't quite my thing. Though I suppose I'd be vulnerable to gunships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeters Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 They give you a nigh indestructible new ship with the ability to one shot literally anything else, and you're asking about cosmetics? Priorities, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priorities, people! Oh, now, come on. You don't know how much hull they actually have. And, realistically, torps blow up asteroids pretty easily. We've done it in real life. We've also split asteroids into smaller pieces by focusing lasers on them, so blasters should be pretty effective as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuciwalker Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm worried these will be too good in Shipyards C. Just a couple of these could effectively prevent a ship from even attempting to cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I'm worried about flying through a field of potatoes trying to smash you. Guess we could rename Aces to Spuds GW BW! Happy 4/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an inside source that tells me this concern was mitigated in their playtesting by gunships (who will continue to excel at attacking and defending Shipyards C and Mesas B) and bombers (whose mines and drones the asteroid's tractor beams consider priority targets).

Slivovidze Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'd be ok with paying for a comet. Asteroids aren't quite my thing. You know that comets are actually coming, right? Same as we know stealthers are coming by checking Targetting Telemetry tooltip, we know that comets will come sooner or later by checking the second Rep gunship, Comet Brrrrrrrreakeeeeer!

okiobe Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 "That's no asteroid...oh wait, yes it is. Uh oh...[explosion]" On a more serious note, I think this is going to take spawn camping to a whole new level. Put one asteroid directly in front of each spawn point, sit back and watch the fireworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliJoe Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I wonder if KYD will have a paint scheme added to it? Like "Repub brown" or "Empire black"....oh oh ...and no engine exhaust trail. If I'm going to barrel roll onto somebody, I need to be sneaky about it. Then, I can fight against a "premade" of 'roids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But actually, here's Eric's response: I shouldn't tell you this, as I would ruin it for the completionists... but I will anyway! There is a hidden achievement that if you crash your Asteroid ship into another asteroid you get the achievement "Fist Bump, Bro." -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
