Highest physics setting required. Start in the air, pull back on the stick, thrust at 100%. Vtol down to move wings. It rolls, I couldn't figure it out. It isn't agile, or easy to fly... but it does fly. E-wing escort starfighter was a single-pilot starfighter developed by FreiTek Inc. It was the first fighter designed entirely under the support of the New Republic.As designed, the E-wing was intended to match, or exceed, the performance of the preceding X-wing series in nearly every respect, and was originally intended to replace the older design in New Republic service. However, the craft suffered from some significant problems when first deployed among front-line squadrons, including malfunction issues with the laser cannons and the new R7 astromech units. As a result, many pilots continued to fly upgraded versions of the venerable X-wing.Despite the initial problems, improved models of the E-wing would see wide spread use by the New Republic, particularly by the Fifth Fleet, and later by the Galactic Alliance. They would play a significant role in every engagement from the Black Fleet Crisis, through the Yuuzhan Vong War, and beyond.By the time of the Second Galactic Civil War, the E-wing had matured into an excellent starfighter design and equipped several elite squadrons of the Galactic Alliance. However, it never achieved the same popularity or wide spread use as the X-wing. (Information gathered from Wikipedia)

    @TheLatentImage well, why would anyone say that kind of thing, it litteraly sounded like someone's last words, poor guy, wish he told me before, I'm taking his advice anyway

    @XVIindustries that's an endearing gesture. Though, this is the internet and I personally take everything with a grain if salt. If you're not familiar with that saying, it's like saying don't be level everything that you're told. But if that is the case, it sucks that your nemesis is sick I guess.

    @XVIindustries I don't even know that person aside from hearing other people talk about him. Why you talk to him I'll have no idea, with all of the complaining you've done about him. That's crappy news. But this is all a bit strange to me.

    He says he cannot play the game anymore as the bones in his hands make it too painful for him, @TheLatentImage

    Apparently he has been battling cancer for the last few years, and he has given up fighting and come off his treatment... @TheLatentImage

    @XVIindustries you'll find that ignoring stupid stuff will go a long way here. I have to sort through this stuff more than most of you guys. I have to ignore stupid stuff all day long. I get rid of the offensive and inappropriate stuff, but I ignore the stupid stuff. If I stopped to write something logical everytime I saw something stupid, I'd be on here typing all day. Someone told me this once, and it's done me well. "Be like a duck man, let the water roll off ya."

    @XVIindustries I'm not going to mediate a conversation about an imaginary war. Just stop talking to him. Problem solved.
