Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn off the players names and titles without turning off the entire HUD/UI. With large groups it is very annoying cause you cant see.
Thanx
Options, Misc
[X] Show Player Names
[X] Show All Object Names

What do you know about deep space repair that we don't? Or is it the other way around?
I think he is referring to the repairs you get at the space station you were towed to after getting blown up.
I have to file a complaint against one of the station attendants as he failed to properly secure one of my winglets and they sheared off causing me to crash into a freighter.

A little of both, I'm sure

Well either those or just general fly-by repairs. My components degrade a little each time with routine maintenance after sorties.
When my flight performance degrades to the point where I'm getting my butt kicked, I like to get components that will restore my ship to its former glory

so TH, what ship do you fly?
I proudly fly an X-wing (the Starlight Reaper)
I also have a Y-wing (Rogue Spear) thats set up primarily for support. All the mass has been dedicated to armor and firepower so that I can circle a dog fight and have myself and a gunner provide suppression fire.
It's official TH is "Rebel Scum."

just thought of something. for all I know, TH might be in my guild on Lowca and i'd never know it.
He could be anywhere.
I also know that Garva has a character on a live server too.They usually aren't very forthcoming with any details so we can see if we know them.

ADVANCED X-WING SPOILER AHEAD
The last mission on the Advanced X-wing mission is the MOST FUN MISSION IN THE GAME! I soloed it took me forever!
The best parts of the mission is this:
1. The Corvette: You can choose to disable the weapons on the Corvette, and it's easier to do. But if you do then they won't be their to protect it in the rest of the mission. (I like how the smaller craft freakin CHASE the mission holder).
2. Protecting the Corvette: Well normally it would be another boring escort but if you kill these guys quick more and more will spawn, so the other choice usually is disable them all, however they eventually blow up also. (The best way to do this part is to disable the ships engines down to 0%(not sure how you can have 0% and it still work but)- 15% condition, then take the reactor down to 15% or below. BUT do NOT disable it all the way. They will not be able to keep up with you and sense they are not disabled or dead they will not respawn.
3. THose ghrag "Rebel" Assault boats: They spawn near the end of the mission. THey suck, they are hard. They don't just kill you, Ohh no, they pick at you untill all you components are dead. THEN they kill you( I loved it it was visious and MEAN). They chase you, FAST! They have to be the hardest thing in the game ive ever went up against. And after the missiosn over you think they would go away. BUT NO lol, they stay around for a few minutes and you think you could just up out of the system and back in. bUT UNTIL they despawn they still argo on the mission holder.
I LOVE THIS MISSION. DONT CHANGE IT FOR ANY WHINERS!!!
Except fix the gated part where if you say the ghrag are weak then you can't finish it.......
