Star Wars: Squadrons - 3 Things You Need To Know Before You Buy

Star Wars: Squadrons - 15 Things You Need To Know Before You Buy

 1. Ships across the four classes of ships that will be available in star wars squadrons at launch

there will be eight starfighters in total two for each class and four for each of the republic and

the empire. Republic pilots will be able to fly the fighter class x-wing the bomber class y-wing the

interceptor class a-wing and the support class u-wing meanwhile imperial pilots will get to choose

between the Tie fighter, Tie interceptor, Tie bomber and Tie reaper.

2. Maps what about the locations where you'll be engaging in all of these fierce space battles

well you can expect plenty of familiar locations from past star wars media there's the gas giant yavin 4 

there's the Nadiri Dockyards where the new republic is building a massive new starship and will

as such defend the location with everything it has there's sls where there's an imperial

listening post there's galatan a remote moon in the middle of an asteroid field there's the zavian abyss

an area full of asteroids shipwrecks electrical energy and maelstroms and there's sisibo a planet 

surrounded by a field full of salvage from old imperial ships.

3. Multiplayer though the campaign is of course an exciting prospect in star wars squadrons for many. 

The multiplayer is going to be the star attraction and while it doesn't look like the multiplayer offerings 

will be the most extensive it is a relatively small scale project after all what is on offer sounds 

interesting two multiplayer modes have been confirmed for the game. The first of these is Dogfights 

which is a regular 5v5 deathmatch type affair with respawns and weapon loadouts with kill counts 

determining the winning team and then there's fleet battles. Fleet battles are the centerpiece 

in star wars squadron's multiplayer component they're a lot like the grand operations in battlefield 5 in 

terms of structure. Fleet battles are large scale conflicts taking place across multiple stages and phases 

each fleet battle begins in a hub area where teams devise strategies and once the battle begins both

teams are tasked with pushing the lines further into enemy territory to expand

their own territory with objectives changing based on which team is in the winning position.

The Final stage of fleet battles tasks one side with destroying a flagship.

and the other side with defending it
