i'd really like to fly a nial, with the firepower they seem to have destroying EA ships would be such a breeze

I think the burning question is really "when to we get to fly the Tishat?"



And the answer is "when I finish it."

Well are there any missions actually designed which allow you to do that?
I wouldn`t mind flying a nial either but I`m not going to write a mission to do it

Main reason why there's no missions where you fly a Nial, is that Nial beam effect is terrible when you see it from cockpit.

Just wait until you have real beams, hopefully those will not block your view while firing.

The real beams will look much nicer. I'm just waiting to get a properly stable build to test the latest on. FSOpen3.5 is coming shortly.

Well, the only EA victory in the whole war was taking out the Black Star with tactical nukes. In the demo campaign, we only see one getting it, when a doomed EA cruiser rams it... That was during the very last stand, if I recall correctly. Didn't we see ramming in the movie ItB as well?
