First try 50000 to 1.

Second... they could never do it there are pilots with 100s of millions of prestige out there.

If space supports jedi abilities, or supports Prestige/FS conversions, then BH's would logically be allowed to kill Jedi in space. If BH's can kill Jedi in space, with the 1-2 hit and your dead space PvP system, and the BH TEF not activating until the Jedi takes a hit from the BH......

You better damn well believe that I will be a MBH/pilot in a second, and I will be making a NICE living in my heavy Xwing with some L10 guns vaping Jedi. At least until the Jedi figure out how crappy the whole "Force in space" thing is, and space gets even emptier than it is now, because Jedi dont fly at all. Although it will be funny seeing them either try to sneak their way into Kashyyyk, or asking their buddies to ferry them there.

LOL!

Saberblock won't work against a quad-blast from an X-Wing or a nice little visit from a friendly neighborhood Space Bomb!

Force Aura that!

People have 100's of millions prestiege xp because there's nothing to do with it. 30k to go to deepspace is barely noticible for any ace pilot. All that needs to be done is finding a ratio for conversion that would make hunting in space as viable as hunting on the ground.

Only if i get to BH you in space once you get your Jedi.

However, I do agree (i think that i speak for nearly all serious pilots) that there needs to be something else to spend prestige on besides DS entry.

Something for Pilot Prestige would be most welcome.


FS skills in space is not, you got your special village and your special expansion and not to mention huge amounts of dev time which would be have been better spent on fixing the other 30 proffesions.

I think the real objection here has a few parts.

1. A lot of pilots (well me anyway) are sick and tired of ground attitudes towards space and non jedi. (Someone telling you the "own" you even though you know they couldn't fly there way out of a paper bag.)

2. Parts grinders (myself included) are bad enough... if people would just used duty missions it would be better but the space game isn't made for grinding... and if a FS grinder is also try to get faction someone will shoot him down, and that will cause a big fight.

3. there realy is too much Prestige sitting out there, way to much for them to do this at this point.

4. Think of all that loot that is going into the chassis dealer w/o ever being looked at, now multiply it by the number of FS grinders. (I cry at night for the loot)

5. To get prestige you have to ace... so as bad as people who want to ride turret and grind are now it will get worse... (It is especaly funny when they ask me to take them in my all mighty Y-Wing... though the TIE/Agg makes more sense.)


Yes, we need something to do with prestige but getting jedi is not something that would be good for the space game in the long run, what we need is something that is a reason to continue to fly, and no jedi space powers are not it.

Well then. Why not another pilot specialisation (tree) above masterising general piloting skills much harder to acquire with prestige, or force skills (i mean that as i'm amovies fan i would like to see force talents implemented in piloting styles)?


On another way, chassis dealer should sell components sold to them in the passed fewdays at prestige and credits costs. It gives us possibility to buy good components sold by inconscients players (like me... sometimes, only few times).


I thought on another way that some specialabilities could be use or bought byspending prestige points like complexes manipulations or acquiring special chips from npc from very hard and specialmissions.


Anyway, using prestige points to make space a more stimulating place should be implemented IG (after correcting bugs of course... priority to bugs )

Well. To this point i would like to notice two points:


First is that something should be done with prestige points.


Second: for those who say that it's much more easy to make prestige points than to do FS xp, i would say i've done in about an hour and a half on theground 1m 200k xp for standard carbine xp, and about 700k of standard combat xp with area shots in pikets lairs or bol lairs. I never done such an easy pex in space in sucha short time. So please don't use this argument. But i suppose an appropriate ratio would be better.100m of prestige points is a point to show that something have to be done to spent them, not to be scared about the amount. Remember me how much combat xp points on the ground have to be done? about 30m ( just for FS of course ), or more?.

Here here! I'd love to rummage through all the stuff sold to him in the last day or so, have it on a 2 to 3 day timer so the list doesn't get insanely huge.
