Farstar was beginning to heat up in the Deep Space department for a few months before ROTW, but now it's more dead than the Jedi Population in Starwars Episodes IV-VI.



Crixx, Xicrx and Crixxorian Darkmoon - Rebellion, Corsec and Imperial Ace Pilots respectively.

"If your pvp battles in space only last a few seconds YOU need practice. The game isn't broken, you just suck!" - Thik
"There's no sensation quite like learning to fly. Tounge-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I." -Pink Floyd
"One/two shot PvP is good because this is a game of EVASION. NOT ABSORBTION" - Big mean heartbreaker.
"Sod implementing anything half-decent, we have SWG to make! OLOL!"
"We already have expertise in space. It's called a brain." - Leaph.

Why is Starsider best? What kind of orginizations, Events, interaction...etc... do you guys have?





There is Imperial High Command and Alliance Starfighter Command as IC organizations that are cooperating OOC to coordinate weekly battles, let they be individual skirmishes, parts of long story arcs or mixed space/ground events. As you can see the PvP is also RP based, but without any avoidable limitations, as most of the best pilots happen to be RPers too and it adds to the possibilities and feeling of the fight too.

As for organization IHC and ASFC have some basic differences. IHC is more of a pool of many imperial pilots with many excellent aces to provide the leadership. ASFC is more of a closely tied umbrella organisation made up by squadrons of different guilds. There are couple of mutually reknown and widely respected pilots on both sides who rotate coordination of events at her/his respective side. (Post ROTW summertime ASFC's actual operation is closer to the IHC model, but I expect to return to normal business again from autumn.)

What makes Starsider space pvp scene unique?
1. OOC interfactional cooperation and active discussion to make the events more entertaining and to learn from lessons and issues emerged.
2. Tactical teams and close cooperation between pilots and shipwrights (or shipwright pilots) to develope new tactics/countertactics both in term of individual/sqadron tactics and equipment associated. This ensures an ever changing and exciting, sometimes rapid evolution of ships, equipments and tactics with a slight imperial edge. (Well, in terms of equipment there always been a slight imperial edge, but just enough to be a challenge. ) Just look at our excellent correspondent and you will see what attitude I praise .
3. Wide and excellent player base (that tends to shrink a bit summertime/post ROTW/double XP weeks and a like, but only temporarily).
4. Regularity and popularity.
5. Being the unofficial RP and JTLS server.

As you can see around, there are many virtues mentioned that might be observed throughout the pilot forums too. So all these are to explain why I think Starsider is great, but there are excellent pilots in other servers too.

Sounds great! What I wish we had more of is The RP aspect that you have. While we have the orginizational numbers, we don't have that aspect. I'll comment on each of your items.


1. Both the 77th and 6th Wings, along With a handful of PA's our currently forming Valcyn's first Primarily Pilot Player City. As of now we coordinate events, experience, SW's, Chat channels, VC channels.


2. Again we also work closely with SW's and Pilot Elites from all 3 Factions. There's always room for improvement in this area though...hopefully the centralized city will help


3. Our Player base is extensive 77th Wing 220+ Pilots, 6th Wing40+(just forming) You are correct with regards to ROTW and seasonal issues. We experience the same.


4. Not sure what you mean by that? Regularity as far as how many Pilots or members are on at any given time? Popularity? Between servers?


5. Can't comment on RP, but I think we could give you a run for your money on JTL


Thanks for sharing the Info! Good to hear that JTL is alive and breathing on other servers!
