100% agree. If they'd simply remade X-Wing and Tie Fighter or even Alliance in Unreal 5 we'd all have drunk it up. They could do an original campaign too, and we'd just as quickly dive in. How on earth can they not understand this to be what we want?

[@timouwinga5758]

Even more shocking is how little effort it would take too...

[@TurKlack]

Because *we* are the minority. Must "Fans" have been buying into Failonis shit, because they eat everything and think it's good. They want arcade Space games, with special abilities and loadouts and other such shite. While we just want a Space game with a Ship, it's Equipment and our skill.

[@NeoMorphUK]

X-Wing vs TIE was the game that made me get a gaming PC. I loved that game but HATED the dial up lag. I think it was on my old Pentium 133 cpu and Voodoo gfx card lol. A remake of that would be awesome. But back to Survivor… I’m lucky in that it’s been pretty playable for most of the time. I’ve only had a single crash too. This is on Series X.

[@OffendingTheOffendable]

Not about the fans since Disney ruined star wars

[@OffendingTheOffendable]

​@@TurKlack Disney destroyed any hope of star wars being good again

[@ciselkane05]

the running fan theory why the Starwing/Assault Gunboat is such a radical break from standard imperial fighter doctrine and veers so much closer to rebel fighter doctrine is that *Thrawn* was the one who put the project into motion when he got the power and resources of an Admiral, essentially, "requisitioning" a single Cygnus Spaceworks starfighter factory to have a prototype multirole craft prototyped. Because Thrawn had both Vader and Palpatine's approval, Tarken couldn't shut the project down while he was alive and the ship was put into a series of limited production runs to test it's viability. and, you saw just how poorly they were deployed by imperial officers early in there life after the battle of yavin and the lead up to the battle of hoth and the post battle of hoth. (coughs in 35/36 casualties in one sortie) because the ships didn't have the proper interceptor support for dealing with high speed dogfight engagement's gunboats like them are just not designed to do. acting as a missile/torpedo/rocket platform armed with ion cannons to disable and kill big targets at standoff range? great! Dogfighting x and a-wings at knife fight ranges? ... not so great. but to be fair. being a imperial pilot assigned to fly a shielded starfighter at all was the first sign your commanding officers thought of you as more then just an expendable asset...

[@TurKlack]

Listen... You guys are way to focues on the damn shields. They are not an unbreakable protective barrier. Watxh the darn Movies again. The X-Wing shields can at best, only weaken incoming fire of the same size/caliber, are impervious to Handgun fire, and nothing when hit by a Capital Ship Cannon. The TIE don't need shields. And the believe that TIEs are useless was created by people that have not the slightest clue how Star Wars works at all.

[@brianpendell6085]

"Dogfighting x and a-wings at knife fight ranges?" Later versions added a tractor beam which corrected the problem. Tractor an A-wing so it can't maneuver, then zap it with dual advanced concussion missiles. The TIE Advanced and the TIE Defender are worthy of fear in a gunboat. X-wings and Y-wings not so much.

[@neogenesis0038]

The TIE Interceptor missions in this game were extremely challenging from what I remember. There was very few of them, but, they either pitted you against the Assault Shuttles, which ripped through you like paper, or they had you go against TIE Advanced, which outmaneuvered you, then ripped through you like paper. I really loved this game. Great series!!!

[@Snowfox456]

With the Gunboat and the Defender, you can link up your Ion Cannons and Lasers to fire together, which adds even more fun. Really enjoying this series so far!

[@malusignatius]

The Starwing/Assault Gunboat was probably my favourite craft in TIE fighter... It's just a solid and versatile platform.

[@mrchuffy8320]

The real horror in this game (for me) was a disabled ship. The number of times I smashed straight into the bloody static gits.

[@hmmjedi]

The updates I am seeing in this are fantastic for a game engine over 20 years old and it is still pulling it's weight... excellent video as usual...

[@jamespfp]

15:25 -- RE: The Assault Gunboats; I have a particular fondness for the Gunboat which came downstream of Tie Fighter, where it showed up first as something a player could fly, and it was a good thing to have at least one type of ship in the early game which had a hyperdrive (jumping between systems is common), ion cannons, and shielding. The Gunboat really came into its own though in the follow-up title in the series, Xwing v. Tie Fighter. Gunboat multiplayer match duels (1v1 - 4v4) were a regular thing for clans and the competitive types.

[@kspectre21]

I saw a Mouse Droids in the Hanger alongside the Gunship 👀 Imagine being those Rebel Crew getting disabled and just chilling as a single gunship just floats around you. Then finally you see the Commander's Shuttle get boarded and then the Gunship just turns and blasts you 😂

[@josephfenech9401]

Your first deployment in the Tie Interceptor, and you are racking kills left and right!! Awesome! 😎

[@badwolfsat5]

Bro, I am so grateful to have stumbled upon your channel and to find out about the X-wing Alliance mods. TFTC looks fucking amazing!! So much so that I've mentioned it on my podcast and plan to talk more about it this coming week. I will mention your channel. Cheers!!

[@ange1uk]

TFTC Project lead here. I'll keep an ear out for your podcast then :)

[@badwolfsat5]

@@ange1uk Oh, excellent. I'll send you a link when we publish it. It'll be next Monday more than likely. I just want to say to you sir, WELL DONE!!! I finally got it set up last night and it looks gorgeous. This has brought back so many memories and the level of quality, even compared to XWAU, it's way better. I am so curious about the history of this project. It might make a good interview. Please let the whole team know how appreciative I am and I am sure many other older gamers as well. lol Speak to you soon. Cheers!!

[@katarn999]

22:11 Pump your gun energy into shields, then reduce it to zero. Makes you faster and thus more difficult to hit, while strengthening the shields with the transferred energy. If you need full lasers quickly, you can still sacrifice some shield energy and transfer it back again...

[@Pyxis10]

I always wished they would have just used the Skipray Blasboat for these missions. It existed, and was known to be used for these purposes and had a reputation as useful but to rebelly. Finally it's layout has the pilot upfront alone, and then three other crew behind them so you wouldn't notice it wasn't a starfighter half the time.

[@Chaser617]

Lord I remeber the thing that filled me with dread piloting the tie interceptor, Y-wings, not because they were hard to kill but becuase they would break check you so hard and on my old setup changing the throtte wasn't as easie as moving a controller had to go through the keys

[@robertdubois3448]

X-Wing Blue 12 seems to have dumped all his energy into shields. It was over 100% when you hit him with the first 3 missiles.

[@Kalckie]

A, I love the imperial Gunboats. Flying these gave me the feeling I was allowed into a rare "elite" class of imperials ships. Like as if a competitor to the everpresent TIE-Class had tried to fill the navys sudden need for a "single seat hyperspace capable fighter-bomber with shields and ion-armament".

[@flashcoda8655]

Yeah Gunny was great, i liked the Missile Boat too.

[@fonesrphunny7242]

pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew ......... As iconic as the sounds are, having them repeat hundreds of times at almost max volume gets old fast. Really could do with some volume falloff tweaking.

[@Tuskin38]

36:24, I think the friendly fire may have been splash damage from your torpedoes. Either than or someone flew into one of your torpdoes.

[@Hammern28]

I have played most games ever since mid 90's that is Star Wars oriented. Tie Fighter, is by far, one of the coolest of them all in my eyes. X-Wing, X vs T, X-wing Alliance, they are the games that makes you actually feel you are part of the galactic war for dominance. I have these last few years, done more MMO games, like SWTOR, but to me there is one serious element missing, and that is proper space content. PVE railshooter and Galactic Starfighter... meh. Imagine if TOR had something like Tie Fighter elements in them. ( Dream on of course. lol ) My mind cannot help but wonder, how a MMO like Eve Online, but done more like... Tie Fighter, would have looked like. Different playstyle of course, but the scope of such a game... that would have been a galactic conflict indeed.

[@OffendingTheOffendable]

Space battles are all that matter

This looks like it did when I imaged it in my head while playing the original ;)

Love to see the cinematic perspective from the in game recorder. If that is still a thing ;)

[@easterbeast843]

Those stars flying by MUST be removed.

[@katarn999]

18:46 Why don't you combine ion cannons and lasers on the gunboat? The ion cannons are one of the best advantages of the gunboat in actual fights...

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

Ah, sweet memories. That was a lot of fun.

[@kylemelinkovich8675]

Looks like they fixed the 'mistake' that sometimes the Fogger was a Modified Frigate and other missions its a normal Nebulon B.

[@LPhoenix]

Yes. The reimagined campaign is keeping attention to details like this

[@420noscopeyeetcannon2]

[@theredsamurai]

[@wladimir.Quiroz]

This is great. Can you de activate le lights reflection from the lasers? I feel like I'm having a stroke.

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

It's a shame you're not part of the squadron attacking the hyperdrives. That'd be more fun I think; flying and avoiding cruiser gun batteries and needing to hold off the enemy fighters until the other two squadrons show up to assist.

[@browningcq]

FYI you got flagged as attacking a friendly craft while torping the Lulsla because warheads do splash-damage. Gotta be careful when plugging cap ships at point blank range. I’ve blown myself up firing rockets too close to target.

[@viridisxiv766]

why do the fighters blasters fire in that "one at a time" sequence? is it just to look cool or is there an in universe technology reason?

[@MagzGTV]

because that's what I have the guns set to, You can change the settings so they all fire together if you wish. As for why, a laser fires then has a cool down time before it can fire again. If you fire each cannon in a sequence one at a time you can maintain a constant stream of fire on the target. If you set the lasers to all fire together (as above you can if you wish) you get one massive shot from all guns then about a second gap before you can fire again, which one you use comes down to personal preference.

[@_baskerville]

Whats up with the stuttering, a few seconds after this time stamp 10:11 youll see what I mean as you pitch up. I tried installing the mod on my own rig and noticed the same thing, it was really off putting. It's almost like its dropping frames.

[@Chasedtuna9]

soooo, Star Wars mines are basically just what most other sci-fi games call Lasertowers...

[@vapouriz3rr]

Is this a mod for x-wing alliance or for Star Wars Tie Fighter Special Edition? I do miss indepth lore rich games like this, I must of replayed X-Wing Alliance countless times when I was younger

[@MagzGTV]

Total conversion mod for X-wing Alliance.

[@Wedgekree]

Surprised you're not dual linking your lasers/ions to fire them together! That's fairly common from what I've seen for other players of this.

[@jmlouden]

Is there an option to leave the briefing voices original? The guy doing Guy Siner (main brief) is ok, but while the guy doing Denny Delk is obviously giving it his all he just sounds too young (plus nobody could do Denny Delk). I know the original audio was pretty badly compressed, but I gotta have Denny back.

[@MagzGTV]

As explained in the first video there are two versions of this mod, the remastered and the reimagined versions. The remastered contains identical missions to the original game and so has the same audio as that game. The Reimagined version (which I am playing) has much larger and more complex battles taking advantage of the power of modern PC's but as a result, the mission briefings need to be re-recorded as often the ship sets described in the original audio have been changed or expanded or new objectives have been added and so won't match the original briefings.

[@randyranderson690]

I like to use the ion canons on the mines AND if you really want to be a dick, use them on enemy fighters and leave them for the others

[@rippervtol9516]

you didn't show us your new uniform after the promotion :)

[@WanderfalkeAT]

Next time you use a Gunboat - Take the most fighters out with Laser/Ion Gun combo - you can blow them up easily if you have the time later. Always use both Gunsets at the same time. Even on targets who have no shields. A trick I used: use your weapon switch button more often to combine both weapons salvos! I kept on the trigger while just switching the weapons all the time. Honestly, after watching all of it - I wonder that you keep half your Gunboat Firepower offline all through this.

[@Arcalargo]

Any update on your desire to do a dotmod progressive campaign?

[@waaghals]

Any possibility for a Freespace video?

[@WarLordXavier]

For whatever reason your StarWars videos don't show on my time line. The Cold Waters videos show just fine, it's just this series for whatever odd reason

[@andrewmueller3391]

Is that home 1 in the background of the gun boat battle?

[@MagzGTV]

No, that's the Light Calamari cruiser Lulsla. Home One is an MC80 Heavy Star Cruiser. . . I think it'll show up in one of the later missions. To give you a scale difference Light Calamari cruisers are between 500m and 600m long, Home One is 1300m long.

[@ange1uk]

@@MagzGTV The Lulsla for Reimagined is actually an MC80 variant called the Reef Cruiser. I decided for Reimagined, given the number of starfighters the original version of the mission had you face, logistically upgrading the ship from an MC40 to an MC80 made better narrative sense. Plus it makes for a more imposing - and I use this term loosely - "boss fight" :D

[@MagzGTV]

Really? It seemed way to small to be an MC80, I woudl have put money on it being a LC Cruiser still.

[@andrewmueller3391]

@@MagzGTV It did seem small, but I wasn't sure if maybe that was scale. I just know when I was looking at it that the design looked very mc80ish to me. I play empire at war and always play the rebels, cause I love the mon calamari ships.

[@cmdrbigity6914]

Elite: Dangerous is a beautiful game as well, visually and sound as well. But I prefer the combat in the TIE Fighter/X-Wing games, even if they are less 'realistic'.

[@greyed]

E:D is less realistic, IMHO. Sure, you have the Newtonian physics going on, but the ranges were confined to a laughably small range. The combat areas in this game are larger than what E:D achieves. Think on that, in one mission Hammer drops in 5Km from Magz. 5Km in space is exceptionally close. E:D combat is confined to hundreds of meters with 2Km being disengagement range.

[@zeroscale7766]

Try Spinning, that's a good trick

[@clemensklompken3600]

The escort shuttle has always been my most feared advesary in the classic game, because of it's rear turret. I hated mission like this one.

[@LPhoenix]

In TFTC, the fire rate of the rear turret is MUCH lower, so they are not that bad now

[@LPhoenix]

All TIE, GUN and MIS lasers have the same power, so the do the exact same damage per hit, tho there is a difference high powered and low powered versions As others already said, try to link your lasers and ions together to double your firepower in the GUN ( 'X' key ) 1 concussion missile causes the same damage, as only 6 laser hits, so they are kind of weak Enemies can shoot down your missiles when you are launching them in a head-on If your warhead explosion damages a friendly craft, including you, the game counts it as your damage and the robot will mention it.

Less than the amount of time you don't fly an X-wing in the game called X-Wing. :)

No one would have purchased a game called Imperial Space Sim which is a more accurate title.

[@michaelcook7107]

Like the literal Tie Fighter (rather than the Tie Bomber/Tie Interceptor/Tie Advanced/Tie Defender), almost all the game. The Tie Fighter is a pretty weak craft. 3 hits and your dead, no shields, no missiles/torpedoes and only 2 laser cannons. Most of the game is in some kind of Tie craft, the Gun Boat and Missile boat only get used on a handful of missions.

[@TDOBrandano]

A bit odd to hear female voice acting for the Empire pilots. I'd assume the in-universe empire to be strongly chauvinistic.

[@3characterhandlerequired]

Other craft firing noise is really loud in this. I see that this video is already one year old, maybe that has been fixed already, but this doesn't have the same feeling as original at all. All you hear is pew pew pew pew "whaoo" pew pew pew pew. Also constant unnecessary (repetitive, childish, unprofessional) chatter in radio which annoys me. If you haven't already fixed that please add selection to mute the unnecessary chatter and make weapon sounds from other crafts way less audible.
