“One crucial thing to nail when designing the Hero Vehicles is to make players feel truly cool, powerful, and heroic when piloting them. This goes for both the visuals and feel. Playing Star Wars Battlefront, you should get the same feeling that you get when you see the Millennium Falcon swooping by and taking out TIE fighters in the movies.”
These Hero ships will be power-ups that players can pick up throughout the match, as of now only 2 Hero ships have been confirmed —the Millennium Falcon & Boba Fett’s ship Slave I.
These Hero ships are meant to be more powerful than the regular Rebel and Imperial ships, for example, Boba Fett’s ship, the Slave I is more of an arsenal-heavy craft. It’s equipped with Ion Cannons, Proton Torpedoes, and a jammer that can be activated to fly undetected on the mini-map and to avoid missile locks.
“Don’t be surprised if you suddenly spot multiple foes at your tail when piloting these ships,” Sundell says. “During playtests we've noticed how excited players get to be the one taking down the Millennium Falcon or Slave I. You should always keep both offence and defense in mind.”
You will soon be able to play Star Wars Battlefront and all of its modes, the game is set to release on November 17th.
