TIE Fighter Attack is one of the in-game music tracks, but I mute the music when recording so UA-cam will allow embedding the video and not put ads on it.

@Raptor007 ah ok, though I thought you're monetized when they put ads on your videos. That not always the case?

@@Moon_Cricket_Stinks To my understanding, UA-cam puts ads on everything. Being monetized just means you can actually get some of the money from ads. It's really bullcrap. UA-cam will put ads everywhere, but to actually profit, you have to "play ball" by youtube guidelines. If a big channel has a video that gets flagged and demonotized, it doesn't mean ads stop playing for that video...what it means is that youtuber doesn't to get any of the money from that demonetized video. This is my understanding to the best of my knowledge.

@OnlyCalebs3DEmporium wow that is junk.

@@Moon_Cricket_Stinks They put ads on this?? Lame. I didn't ask them to. Get Firefox and uBlock Origin.

Oh I completely understand having too many projects to juggle! Thank you for the kind feedback. I actually would like to bring in a bit more of a simulation feel somehow, but not at the expense of pacing! I played the heck out of X-Wing for Macintosh (1994) and even though I loved that game, it was frustrating having to wait long periods of time twiddling my thumbs while lasers and shields recharged at a glacial pace. I'd often dump all engine power into recharging lasers/shields a bit faster and then have to dodge enemy fire with all the nimbleness of a tugboat while I waited. That said, I would like X-Wing Revival to eventually have some kind of nod to that power redirection system (Squadrons did a decent job of this) and someday implement more detailed damage modeling too.

Each ship has its own stats and advantages. TIE Fighters and Interceptors can outmaneuver and outrun X-Wings and Y-Wings. TIE Interceptors are currently my favorite for dogfighting because they're so maneuverable and their quad lasers have a high rate of fire, but TIE Fighters have a bit higher health and some may prefer the two centered lasers for easier aiming. No shields on TIEs so you have to evade quickly when attacked, but they're nimble enough to get behind a target and stay on them. In terms of the overall fleet battle balance, still working on that, but Imperial capital ships are tougher than Rebels and they tend to have more of them, with is lore-accurate and helps counter the fact that Rebel starfighters have shields and secondary armament.

@@Raptor007 Thank you for taking the time to reply!

That's awesome! Just found your site and joined the Discord. I suspect my free time until May the Fourth will mostly be consumed by trying to get v0.4 Alpha ready, but hopefully I can sync up with you guys sometime after that. I absolutely love that you're using GameRanger. It was THE hangout for those of us silly enough to be primarily gaming on Macintosh in the early 2000's.

Thanks! It's still an ongoing project. I just released version 0.3 Alpha: ua-cam.com/video/eJV_9d9ZRg0/v-deo.html

Nope, BTTT is a project I wrote from scratch! I wanted something with pacing like HBS BattleTech but that adheres to the tabletop rules and has Clan tech available. I do know of MegaMek, but have to admit I haven't tried it because I've often had problems with Java; this is written in C++ using my own game engine and compiled to a native exe.

Thanks! I chose HeavyMetal Pro because it's what I use to make custom record sheets, and its databases of weapon stats saved me a lot of time getting started. I understand it is no longer updated, but what it does include should remain accurate, and honestly it covers a much wider set of Mech features than I would have likely done from scratch. Its only big weakness for me is a lack of LB-X/ATM ammo types, which I intend to work around in a future version of BTTT by letting players configure ammo during setup.

@@Raptor007 The Solaris Skunkwerks files are based on xml files I believe and they are still being updated by a team on discord. But its probably too late to implement those.

Nah, I whipped this up at 3am for the release. Hopefully the events are fairly self-explanatory if you know BattleTech. If not, look for the Classic BattleTech Introductory Rules PDF, or better yet, the newer hardcover BattleMech Manual.

Already has it, since 2017 actually! :¬) Check the Preferences menu.

I will probably need help with 3D modelling at some point. I have some placeholder assets in the alpha that might not be able to stay. But let me see what I'm allowed to keep first.

Great :)
