BobThePom Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 After we came out of hyperspace the first thing I saw was the TIE Advanced's . Everywhere. Like a swarm of ants crawling through the planets sky. I could see the city in the clouds up ahead but suddenly my intercom crackled and spurted into life... I must get that fixed... "btzz..crxz..Come in Green 9...Come in Green 9" It was the general. I had better answer. "I can hear you loud and clear General, this is Green 9" They say that starfighter numbers don't mean anything and that they are just a way of identifying pilots during battle. I don't believe them. I'm pretty sure I was put 9th for a reason... and there is only 9 starfighters. The general again. "Green 9, I don't want you anywhere near city in the clouds. You and Green 8 will make a perimeter and deal with these TIE Advanced's." Ouch... "General, Sir, is my flying really that bad?" I new this wasn't the time to ask but I felt a little hard done by. "btzz...crxz...I'm sorry Green 9...I can't hear you well...We are breaking up.....btzz" I'm not an idiot. I could tell that the last radio crackle was made by the general. Avoiding the question. More ouch... The only way I could raise my reputation in the eyes of the general would be to complete his orders to perfection. Sigh... Look out TIE Advanced's here I come... I can see Green 8 out of the corner of my eye. He's having better luck. He's actually in pursuit of an Imperial. All the Imperials seem to be staying away from me. I'd like to think it is because I'm so fearsome. In reality my eratic flying is probably scaring them away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Breaking the 4th wall. A little side note, the lack of cockpit glass on the minifigure scale A-wing is so you can see the pilot. Not because the pilot is actually flying without any cockpit glass. Photos with cockpit glass on make it so that you can't see the pilots face. Quote
BobThePom Posted September 21, 2013 Author Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) It's a TIE advanced... I'd better fix that. Edited September 21, 2013 by BobThePom Quote
Brickdoctor Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 I like the idea of the space/sky battle, which is something I'd hoped to see more of. I think the entry could be improved a lot, though, through the use of a MOC A-wing instead of a (almost?) stock one. Quote
kermit Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 You did a good job with the a-wing looks like the real thing in mini form. Quote
