Star Wars: Squadrons will be out on October 2. 23.0k members in the zoombackgrounds community. (I'm still iffy on the whole 'plastic Ewok on the dashboard' thing, though.) That approach sounds quite a bit like what Creative Assembly did with Alien: Isolation, which worked out really well, and it's encouraging to see EA coming at it from a similar angle: It's easy to forget that Star Wars is nearly 50 years old, after all. 'We don't say, 'Put a red light there,' we say, 'If you needed to physically build this using the sorts of parts that ILM had, how would it be built? Is that light a bulb? An LED? How would it be integrated into the dashboard and how would its light interact with everything around it?' We ensure the screens are CRTs with appropriately curved monitors, and so forth.'

'This means that when we want to communicate the charge level of your lasers in an X-wing, we design the cockpit instruments for that as if we were Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) building the prop in the '70s,' creative director Ian Frazier said. Two people in an X-wing cockpit gets pretty cozy.), but I dont think we actually see him and her in the same ship at the same time. And finally, the Support fighters aren't really fighters at all, although they do have offensive weaponry, but can repair and resupply allied ships, use tractor beams to hamper enemies, and deploy mines and laser turrets-basically they're the Engineers of the Squadrons world.ĮA said a couple of weeks ago that Squadrons will have customizable HUDs and control schemes, but developers are also taking pains to ensure that each ship's cockpit remains true to the original Star Wars aesthetic. Bombers are slow sluggers, capable of dealing and sustaining tremendous levels of damage and incapable of avoiding any incoming trouble that's moving faster than a slow walk. Interceptors are glass cannons: They move fast, hit hard, and blow up really easily-you don't want to ride one of these things into a sustained, stand-up fight.

TIE/rp reaper attack lander (“ TIE Reaper”)įighters are your basic, do-it-all ships, reasonably tough, reasonably fast, reasonably nimble-not great at anything, but good enough at everything that you can comfortably take them into pretty much any situation.
