(...) In the X-Wing series, it had 3 ion cannons and 3 blasters (which where always changing places on the wings and cockpit, IMHO XWA had the best configuration). If you look at the official LEGO B-Wing, on each wing there is the large standard (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yuck. I don't consider the X-wing series because it's a game, and most games change things to make them easier to program or more exciting. For instance: 1) You couldn't rotate the B-Wing's fuselage in the game. 2) A-Wings do not have (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Using any computer GAME for stats in plain silly. (...) Exactly (...) Wrong. The A-wing has two concussion missile launchers.

(...) Again, it depends where you get your stats. You didn't say where you got yours, but I prefer to use the stats from the Star Wars RPG books. In the RPG, the A-wing doesn't have concussion missiles. Another consideration is that not only does (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm not sure the Mon Calamari were internal to the Empire, were they? At the very least, none of them served the Emperor, and that explains why they suddenly "appeared" among the Alliance ships. I could be wrong, however. best, Lindsay (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)
