hello it's ricardo and this is star wars squadrons i thought i'd take a quick look
at the ships of the rebel alliance of which you have the x-wing fighter the y-wing fighter
y-wing bomber you've got the a-wing interceptor and then you've got the u-wing support craft
and all the embellishments and modifications that you can earn in game to make them your own now
i haven't got much i've only got four crates and 400 starry points there uh but typically
in this game from this little menu by here down to customization the screen will fade to black and
here we are look at this we're in an in a rebel hanger this one you got x-wings coming in to land
look at that hovering oh this is just so cool and i haven't got my oculus quest 2 headset yeah
sent the old oculus quest one wasn't working quite right especially not with um you know with the pc
which is basically what i wanted it for having a look around this gritty hanger where work is done
right you can see it's all different alien life forms intermixing with human life forms you've got
power droids people scratching their heads helmets everywhere you know when you go on our
r5 unit there you can still probably it probably cs and r5 unit as well so from this stage right
you can go in here and you can customize your pilot or you know go and inspect your ship or
customize your ship let's have a look at that customize your your pilot bit let's click on that
there we go so here's my pilot looks a bit of a scruff bag doesn't he uh and you've got different
sort of like embellishments alien heads you can have female heads you can have celestian pilots
you know we knew that neon them and this is all being shown on my 1070 gtx card which it's getting
a bit long in the tooth now still a good card uh there's its bits um but you can tell i mean
it's nice the graphics are good you know i mean
probably on the better cards the three series that's come out now from nvidia and whatnot
they're even better but you can get in there and you can effectively change all your heads
you know different races uh different ethnicities all depends you can pick one
that is typically you know akin to you or what you fancy and uh and go for that one
all right so yeah pretty cool so we had we had this fella got he's got his
his mustache and his bitter bun fluff looks a bit cassian anderish doesn't it really
um then from there on that's from doing the head you've got the helmet do you want a helmet well
you got that quintessential x-wing helmet i like that one um and then you've got obviously one with
a blue logo on it the same one as that what the hey you've got to have that haven't you
then you've got all some of the heavy duty helmets as well which you can buy with your starry points
now that's 400 points to have that sort of helmet which i think was an a-wing helmet was that an
a-wing helmet and that was a b-wing helmet i don't know um who knows i'm sure someone's going to tell
me and you've got different embellishments different helmets as well you can go around
that you can put on your pilot and when you play multiplayer at the end of your match
that's what you get to see one there the blast shield like that uh it's all different
helmets you know you've got summer or locks you know with the galilean gold
and what have you so you got your different your different helmets well i'm a i'm a sucker
for retro and i've got one of those in my office anyway so we're going to have that
then it's customization of your flight suit also your body shape now if you are a lady you want
lady bumps there you go if you're a gentleman don't want ladybumps there you go so you can
choose your distinct body type shame you haven't got a pawkins option that probably fits a lot
of us during lockdown next up is the flight suits and what flight suits you want to get
again i'm a sucker for the retro but then you know there's also that redder one there as well with um
with gear on it tactical flight suit so again you can have these for like 200
points all depending on if you want to do this with your clan get everyone set up
um some of these can be bought some of them can be bought completely up to you next up
that's a top do you want to wear a top do you just want a flak jacket marauder vest sort of thing
and you've got to get more glory points for all that all depends but none of these are
transactions that you have to purchase with real hard earned readies what these are all about
are advancing in the game i think ea had such a kicking during um battlefront 2. 2
with the micro transactions they kind of decided well no you know um perhaps you won't do that
and we'll make it all for the players and i think that's good
now you can change your different gloves you know why would you want anything other than
a quintessential x-wing glove i mean there's different ones there you can have all bits of
bones on that don't know why you want to have more orders um you know things are a bit more padded
and then it's also you know emotes you can have denied you've got wavy wavy you've got skeptical
hmm that's a good one thankful a slow cap applause
heroic flex oh look at this how annoying are you going to be with that a casual salute
a chia that's quite good like that is defeated cower
don't hurt me vader a shrug yeah you know thumbs down crying don't miss that helmet
the who me uh and encouraging
also then as well you've got victory poses look at this hey good job relaxed yeah you know it's
like something out of the gratin catalogue in it you know the little woods catalog
skirmisher a bit of fighting going on mission accomplished with your helmet protector you know
uh pride a casual salute the hero straight off a poster balanced flex triumph a shrug
you know so these are the things you can buy and also we got different voices um
just i've never been i think i think i'm going to enjoy this this ought to be fun happy to see me
it's an honor let's not waste any time then standing by standing by
and you can go down you can select all the different voices that you can have in game
as well so that's really good right so that's what you can do to your pilot um not entirely
sure i selected anything there but hey whatever and then it's on to inspecting your star fighter
so customize starfighter now you may be an x-wing person the old t-65b x-wing or you may be my
personal favorite the y-wing the a-wing there's no b-wing at least not yet um or a u-wing gunship
support and loadout so let's look around the a-wing right sorry it's x-wing what am i saying
let's click on that and different embellishments you can have at the top so
you know you can put different stripes on you know all of which you know you might have a different
squadron shape uh squadron logo you know there's quintessential red for an x-wing you know the more
um glory points you want you can have a chrome ship a rested ship
oh i like that look at that he just rusted over um i'll go for something a little bit you know
pedestrian moving on to the next one these are all decals you can have
and more that you can unlock of course you've got sketchy sort of like republic and rebel stars
got an ewok why you'd want an ewok i don't know some people will no doubt go for ewoks
um and they may not others may not bother but these don't cost you anything like i say
um now this one here holograms you see them inside the cockpit so you've got like uh the jarek piece
no i don't oh i've done it now am i no um there it is there's my the jarek piece
i've got in there you could have had a helmet you got chopper um the old space slug
a monkey lizard and the galaxy and then you can have them furry toys x-wing pilots
engines ton-tons uh the training remote all these things that you can put in your cockpit to clutter
your cockpit up let's face it that's that's what you're doing you're cluttering up your carpet
and then things as well that you can have hanging down nubian star fighters
uh bits of broken dexter which i think is quite funny really um you know snow speeder i like that
would be interesting to find out if that moves as your ship moves
so there you go um going back let's have a look at the lovely um y-wing again you get all
very similar color embellishments and things that you can stick in the cockpit uh there's no
no real change there you know but no doubts more will be released as the game progresses
uh and then we've got the a-wing again and you can also change all your components here
as well what counter measures and you can buy different ones and all this is
done with crates space crates you can see i've got four over here so you can unlock different
in-game things that will help you in multiplayer okay so let's escape from that
look at the last one which is going to be this u-wing um and what you can fit for that
you know you've got um turret mine what else we've got here more mines ion missiles torpedoes
all these things you can add for additional crates and of course all the same things
you've got you can have greedo and ewoks and all that in your in your cockpit should you wanna
so that's all very well looking at you know the embellishments you can put on but what
are the models actually like so let's select the x-wing this is the first one we would have seen
right there it is um and you can have a look inside the cockpits as well so if we go to inspect
there we are there's your ship and again i can only imagine what it looks like
in via so there you go it's all very nice and there's all things going on around the
around the hangar and then you've got inspect there as well see the back of your ship i don't
exactly know why you'd want to look at the back of the ship and then inspect um the sides of it
i'm going to look at your paint jobs or your logos and in the cockpit you can have a good look around
the cockpit if you look behind you the targeting computer there it is doing flashy things um and
there's your quintessential x-wing cockpit with all these buttons what do they do what do they do
what do they do um you know scanners and whatnot if you look behind you there's your astromech
and our two series astromech strange how i haven't got into the game i don't know if this is what's
gonna be the case you can't you know customize him would have been a quick win wouldn't it perhaps
you can as the game goes on what do i know uh you know is all these different ships being worked on
um but the inside of this cockpit i think is fantastic so let's get out of here
um x for exit
let's go for a different ship so let's go from here
let's go to the y-wing you're looking for a custom job let's select that
very nice there's our y-wing again our two unit in the back let's go and inspect it
have a good look around you know sheer size of this thing i think is great slow
it's a bobber um what we got over here you can inspect
the back of the ship because it's much bigger and then you can go
over here to the top different angles of this huge ship
let's have a look inside the cockpit just can we get in the cockpit inspect there you go cockpit
now ion cannon at the top you know it's all battered and bruises are older than the um
t65x wing lots of lights look at them lots of panels what do they do i don't know it's just
the light on it looking behind you you can't see your r2 unit because he sits so far back you see
but i do i do like this ship i think it's great like this better than the x-wing
actually there's your targeting computer look at that targeting computer um and your knees
right let's get out of that um customize star fighter what you're looking for
the a-wing it's a bit of a skateboard this isn't it um let's have a look
very nice look how small it is compared to that other one right so let's have a good look around
it's inspect there it is it's two whopping great big engines concussion missiles generally and
laser cannons on the side uh no astromech though it has got hyperspace options as well if you look
behind us droid over there look chatting away at somebody and you've got it's a quarren a
quarren there you know so yeah very good all the other ships over there being worked on
look at the back there's the whopping great big engines and of course we can jump in the
cockpit and have a look around there a newer ship first saw these in return of the jedi um
you know the final the final assault uh it's an interceptor though in it um not sort of made for
an awful lot of battle it's quick you know um yeah out of all of them i'm least fond of the
a-wing i don't know why it's just like it's an egg wing but you can tell you know it's a newer
ship things are a bit more curvier in here but you get the impression it's just you metal and space
there's no padding there's no niceness in there you know it's very functional design
okay then what is next we will go to the final ship in our rebel armory
which is this now we first saw this in rogue one didn't we um
i'll get it ready look at it it's huge it's a support ship right we are
that sort of thing i haven't played one yet be perfectly honest
nice engine at the back oh look our astromech has has turned up we've got other people
are the pilots look over there there's our astromech
you've got a rhodium two human pilots there's a power droid on his way wherever he's going
let's take a look inside that cockpit now look at it two-seater but there's only you um look on
the back there's the cargo space around the back look with its face of functional seats we saw this
extensively in rogue one cassio nando's ship you know it's um yeah good support vessel don't know
that much about it it's a support vessel there you go there's a hyperspace levers i think perhaps
and all different lights flashing on and off how cool is that so that effectively is um a look at
the the models on the alliance side let's take a look now we can switch over to the imperial hangar
you
