Thread: Ace or the Ace game, who really is the top pilot on your server, in your faction?
Slarus, JTL is a twitched-based game. It's an expansion for SWG, not a patch.
So, it's different than SWG, and always will be. There's just no comparing.
That being said, go check out other ONLINE twitch-based games, learn, then come back with your findings.
Moot point again. Being fixed as we speak. Better armor and damage reduction on the way.
So...with that balance in mind....what was your point?
My point is that Ace for JTL only means you completed the missions and earned the XP for the last advancement box in the Piloting tree, it is not a reflection of Piloting skill but a sign of completion of missions and XP. A special title that distiguishes PvP play and PvE or a combo or special toys to one or the other is wrong as the title rewards and toys given for Ace are not skill based but advancement based. If you read the topic you'd know this.

Keep you "Ace" title then! We could care less. Look above.
There are also multiple title for really good pilots. "Top Gun", "Spitfire" (I know that's the name of a craft), "Eagle","Starfighter", the possibilities are endless.

Very true but there is no need for any more titles we got a title oneach teir 4 box and for Master, PvP titles and PvE titles and badges have no place here, same goes for special favor or reward.
You want a reward for something that has no rellevance, put your PvP record in your Bio, I would suggest a PvP/PvE kill counter so that you use a paint kit or check a box and people can see your Kill record, but no special titles or rewards. Red for PCs and Orange for NPCs as a tracker.

it would just be another piece of uber loot for everyone to fight over. it wouldnt mean anything.
jtl is different from the ground game in the fact that fighting is actually based on skill now, you can be a "ace" and still suck, i see many people who should still be 1111 and are 4444 or something like that.
i think a more useful solution (yet still pointless) would be a space station in kessel that tracked who has the best kill:death ratio or something, thats at least worth bragging rights i guess
OR maybe you could go make a name for yourself without needing a game feature to do it for you...
Other twitch-based games call them "frags". As for your last point, that happens anyway.
I remember being able to go to a website, and see my name somewhere in the 50's. 
I sucked, but it felt good to have my name "in lights".
And, as it is a fact of life, there is nothing wrong with being recognized for accomplishments.

Yeah an addition to your Bio or something for a paint job for NPC/PC kills red for PCs and orange for NPCs. If they did that even hardcore PvPers would beat up NPCs and it gives content for post Mastering, rackin up the Notches.
PvPers and PvEers have something to show off with but it's only for personal satisfaction and it's for both parties and all in between
Exactly! Something like that.
