A rapid-fire turret doesnt need to fire too fast.. but 10/shots per seconds is a good fire rate for point-defense. I think that fast-firing guns like the fighter use could easily be mounted on fast-tracking turrets as point-defense..

Otherwise i like the rest, but frigates are too fragile.

and finally missile turrets; these would fire a missile with a purple trail following and it can twist and turn as it fly's,

Fire rate: 5 shots every 10 seconds.
Damage: to follow below;
interceptors (100% at least per hit)
fighters (80% at least per hit)
bombers (40% at least per hit)
transports (10% at least per hit)
frigates (2& for every 20 hits depending on type)
capital ships (very little)
reload in time: 5 seconds

Secondary attack basically the same but fires all five after lock on with a longer reload time.

For turrets in space; (the primary is the normal attack like firing a rifle and the secondary is the same as throwing a detonator (i.e. they are the same buttons) figures are related to BF2 damage.

Partical cannon;

Two firing modes;

Primary: will fire one shot after another (like the auto turrets on BF2)
Fire rate: one shot every 0.5 - 1 second.
Damage: to follow below;
interceptors (50% at least)
fighters (25% at least)
bombers (15% at least)
transports (5% at least)
frigates (1& or less depending on type)
capital ships (Very little damage not worth saying)
range 2000
overheat rate in time: 5 - seconds

secondary: will fire two shots at the same time (similar to the turrets on Episode 3 the game or the deathstar trench on episode 4)

Fire rate: two shots every 1.5 - 2 seconds.
Damage: to follow below;
interceptors (100% at least)
fighters (75% at least)
bombers (35% at least)
transports (10% at least)
frigates (3& or less depending on type)
capital ships (Very little damage about 0.5% or less)
range 3000
overheat rate in time: 10 seconds.

Next is the beam turrets (i know everyone hates them but we need them for a little variety and my surgesstion may make them a little better)

Fire rate: one shot every 3 seconds (hold down to charge like the hoth dish turret to increase range and size)
Damage: to follow below;
interceptors (100% at least, fully charged 100%)
fighters (90% at least, fully charged 100%)
bombers (40% at least, fully charged 100%)
transports (15% at least, fully charged 100%)
frigates (5& or less depending on type, fully charged 25%)
capital ships (1% damage or so when fully charged but near to nothing when not charged)
range 5,000 as normal, fully charged 10,000
overheat rate in time: 3 seconds at normal and 5 seconds when charged

! What would you think about the

..
Manual targetting of turrets.. i think there sould be some sort of reticle that point where you should shoot to hit the ennemy ship, because the turret you are controling have the support form an AIcomputer and a whole bunch of sensor data to help it make its shots hit the target..
And i think also that this would not be "overpowered" (if there is any doubt) because you can only do so much when the ennemy is smart enough to make evasive moves to shake your aiming. And a single turret in a massive, empty battlefield isnt going to win a war.

And.. this makes the protection of sensors and turret-computer that much more important, because these are the reason why the turrets are effective. Lose the sensors and the assisted targetting become less "efficient", lose the computer and you lose all automated/assisted targetting.
This loss of accuracy shows when the turrets are trying to shoot fast and nimble targets, but i dont see why it could influence much of the targetting of a capital ship (unless it is far away) because its hard to miss a target of this size.
But they will have trouble hitting specific target (subsystems) on the capital ship.

(continued)

Integrated battles.. i did think about that for some time.
But not the way i think you see them;

When there is a space battle: The defending fleet receives some free reinforements in the form of a extra corvette or a sqadron of fighters, the fighter respawn outside the map and make their way inside, and reapear after destruction. It represent planetary support.

..both fleets duke it out for orbital superiority. The aggresor, if he wins, get to give support fire to the ground battle that follows (that support may be turned off in the options.. if the players want) in the form of occasionals orbital airstikes (controled by the player? Random bomb/blasters shots in the ennemy territory?) and some rarer smaller capital ships such as Frig and Corvettes (or even fighters and gunships!) that fly over the battlefield, shooting the ennemy with thier guns, then go away. The bigger ones dont stay here too long (maybe ~15 secs?).

I also wish to see/feel that there is a bigger battle going on around our "active battlefield" such as background aniamtions of gunshots, explosions, dense black smoke rinsing to the skies, flying capital ships and fighters. A bit like the battle of geonosis in BF2, but more vibrant and active.

--And even maybe some random "radio chatter" that comes from the other divisions fighting ousite of the map, not loud, but noticeable.

I think that bombers should be in land battles. If the opposing team has bombers, then the other team should have anti-air turrets, like in Eaw.

I like your idea imperial. However, instead of being on land and hopping into a fighter and flying up to space how about when you respawn you know how it shows your command posts that you have a choice of spawning to...well you can make it so half is land and the other half is space so you can spawn in a hangar you know? Any thoughts or suggestions?

EAW is empire at war, Twad, Those ideas are fantastic i really like them and as i said before i would like to see the game with your ideas for the space especically, if you have more space ideas them please post them there great! What would you think about the inside of capital ships, like; size, rooms, hangers, defences, manual turrets etc.

in EAW there was the Corellian Corvette and the Corellian Gunship (which is annoying), well anyway in the game all they did was take out fighters, the frigates where more of an medium/heavy ship so a firgate owned the corvette/gunship, unless there was like 5 gunships against 1 frigate.

The only cruisers I have seen so far come from EAW and they fired long range missles.

Your ideas of space fighting and the ships got me thinking.

Thank you, i hope so too , and about the proximity sensors/sensor relay, i checked a bit, and i think the relay is actually the communication realy, and the only sensors are the proximity sensors.
So i just made a little mistake, but i think its still clear.
And about my ideas.. i thought about them because they add to the credibility (IMHO) of the game, where everything is here for a reason and serve a usefull purpose, while keeping to the SW "flavor" and adding to the strategic possibilities for the gameplay.
