Developer Update: Scout Class Starfighter
11.18.2013
Welcome Pilots.
My name is Bret Hoffman. I am a Designer on the Galactic Starfighter™ Star Wars™ ships like the A-Wing and TIE Interceptor.
Scouts, as the fastest of all of the locate enemies and communicate their locations to their allies.
Scout Types
Although all Scout class ships share the qualities we just went over, they are not all the same. Some, like the play a ing role by using the bevy of communications toys at their fingertips, like firing a Slicing Device to scramble an enemy’s navigation systems and tag their location. Or, if they prefer, they can drop a Sensor Beacon that can help to track the movements of the opposition.
Conversely, the Blaster Overcharge system, allows a ship to fire faster and have more blaster power while others. While, other systems, like the Booster Recharge, allow a ship to boost their speed for longer to maximize their speed advantage.
Regardless of the ship variant, A Scout class starfighter is the perfect craft for pilots who value speed and maneuverability above all. Designer Bret Hoffman delves into the Scout, the fastest of all the Galactic Starfighter crafts.
