@Kevlegs I just read the Pilot briefing. I like the concepts of Special ability when giving a Ship system full power, I believe everyone needs to learn how to manage the Power Systems of your Starfighter to survive and beat your opponents, at least this seems to be the concept the Pilot briefing is talking about.
May the force be with you!

Regardless, Frazier is hanging onto the prospective revelation of more starfighters as if he’s working out of a secret installation on Scarif, but he did offer this tease in regard to the potential of more ships to pick from after Squadrons launches.
“I can tell you that the eight ships that we’ve shown are the playable ships that we intend to have at launch,” says Frazier. “There are other ships that you’ll see in the story and so on, but as far as playable ships, those are the eight you should expect at launch.”
" For the Rebels, the obvious missing iconic ship is the B-wing, which is technically a destroyer of Star Destroyers, but could also be repurposed as a heavy-fighter or fighter-bomber role that slots between fighter and bomber."

- @Kevlegs You notice he describes the perfect classes for what the b-wing would be. As if he has already thought about it... and discussed it with the team... this could be good.
- @CodesterMX-YT Fingers crossed...
Fantastic article from someone that has been lucky enough to be playing the demo for hours!!!!

Squadrons Game Play@KevlegsGood stuff, New material definitely for now.
You guys should view it to get a better idea of how much Customisation is available as well as more info for the Fleet Battle Mode.
I am so excited for Star Wars Squadrons after I saw the gameplay by Eckstoo and Star Wars Explained. The game looks amazing!
- I would recommend watching Bombastic’s newest 2 videos, especially the latest one about ship customisation. It goes through all the starship parts you can equip like the beams, torpedos, different weapons, shields, engines etc. the other video focuses on the key gameplay aspects, like any other game changer youtuber
- @HCarbonic Thanks for the heads up.
- @HCarbonic Already watched. As soon as they came out. And yes, his videos are very good and the customisation he showed is awesome!! And of course, what was seen in the alpha that he had, is not the complete game.
- @CodesterMX-YT I agree though I watched Eckstoo instead of Bombastic!
- @MrNifler Ironically when I got an email saying you mentioned me I was beating up some purge troopers in JFO.
and there’s a new video, I think Bombastic might be the only one who did something like this, but basically it goes through every cosmetic customisation option.
I think most already know this but..
EA Motive's upcoming sci fi dogfighter, Star Wars: Squadrons, is ticking a lot of boxes, with cross play, VR, and online multiplayer support rounding out an impressive sounding package. But some fans were unsure of the lower 5v5 player count.We're happy to report that one of the marquee features in Squadrons, the Fleet Battles mode, will include AI support fighters alongside your chosen five man squad.
There had been some discontent since the games announcement, after the boots on the ground player scale of DICE's Battlefront series, that Squadrons would potentially feel like a step back.
When you consider the highly successful run of Rogue Squadron titles back on the N64 and GameCube, which featured large scale single and multiplayer battles, being faced with the prospect of 5v5 only might at first glance underwhelm. Especially when you consider that Star Wars as a brand is known for it's complex, massive space battles.
However, following a hands on preview published by IGN, AI support fighters will indeed back up your squad online, and offer more than just background window dressing.
The recent vids have me quite excited to get the Game. I probably would not preorder for myself, just to play safe. I want to see new vids of people playing, then when the game is released probably a while later I should get it. Is there going to be a Retail Box for the game? I am not sure if I should get the Steam version or the Origin Version, depends on where I find the right way to get the game.
- @Kevlegs I was a little bit skeptical about the size of the fleet battles but I also think the 5v5 gameplay allows for Esports and that would be awesome!
No next gen console version for the game. Not that I'm fussed about that tbh. It'll be a fun game but not worth making it for the new consoles. I'd rather all that effort be put in for a new Battlefront made for the next gen consoles.
