Well, almost a month ago I made Ace. I cruise around Deep Space yelling "DIE YOU DIRTY REBEL SCUM" just for practice cause I never hear any reply other than the faint echo of my own voice bouncing back off the wall. So where's the PVP? I've gone to Deep Space countless times, nobody there but me and once in a while a group member to keep me company...

So last night, I zone in to look at the lovely stars and sneak up under the bellies of the gunships who won't shoot back at you if you do,typed in /who (like there's gonna be someone there...cheeya...right) and low and behold...SOMEONE TO GANK...WHOOT...almost wet my pants. So I cruise around stealthfully, being careful not to shoot at anything and possibly give away the fact that I'm there and found them....Muahahaaaaaa...."DIE YOU REBEL SCUM" I yelledas Iflewin for the kill. "Missiles Away" I yelled again.

WHOOT, devs hiked up defenses 25% so now, instead of one shot to take out my opponent, it took two. OH WHEEEEE....that was "ALMOST" a challenge I thought to myself as my poor opponent burst into a ball of fire and debris. Gloatingly I quickly typed in /showpvp so that I could marvel at my prowess. WHAT? NO WAY...CAN YOU BELIVE THIS CRAP. My PvP score did NOT advance AT ALL. The only reward was the fact that I made anew friend of the guy I ganked who came back for two more tries at me. Pshhh,shot him down again both times with my "projectile weapons" cause I was just a little sneakier than he was. And really, whats the sense in wasting my credits on missiles when there's no reward for my efforts.....

HEY SONY, I think you built a house larger than you can take care of. Spend some of those greenbacks you get from us every month and hire some phricken people that know how to make SWG a challenge again....Please =)

i enjoyed reading this very much

but here's something you can do as an ace: help others get ace

i help whoever i can to get their mission done, for i have nothing else to do

i am curtiously rewarded often, and i have a fun time showing off

i make new friends, get new parts, get more creds, etc. in the process

Or you can be an Imperial Colonel and ACTUALLY plan raids to Deep Space, lead a squadron there and be sure to make the mistake of trusting a privateer pilot that just might let word of your raid "leak" to the rebs and make a player event out of it.

Forgot #3

3. Unless I missed seeing cert levels 11 & 12, every component can be gotten outside of Deep Space in utter safety.

I think my first lvl 10 component came off a Tier 2. Definately no higher than Tier 3 (has been in my safe deposit box since Tier 3).

Deep space is simply to go for big battles that, put in another sector with non overts and static spawns, would crash the servers. WHY does everything have to have a tangible reward besides fun?

As far as PvP damage reduction then yeah it needs to be looked into in regards to the fact that armor is useless. HOWEVER get 30 imps against 30 rebels for control of Deep Space and tell me you aren't having fun when you finally blow their SD / Space Station.
