Thread: Space combat is LAME!
Good space grinding? theres a place near nyms hovel on lok (look for a corsair station) for unlimited lvl 3 bombers...
Red Sin Chimara on endor for when your 4 3 3 3 will allow you to grind all the way to master....
as for the guy complainin about grinding, well for your info tier two doesnt mean shooting down tier 1 craft! get a master to help you and you'll get it within 5 minutes of kessel or endor

Shields should take 2-3 hits at most and then 2 hits to the armor. Also these planes fly rediculusly slow.Its almost not even twitch, just depends what kind of equipment you have. Only reason I'm still lvling up is that I'm hoping once you get to ace pilot it will be more realistic... is it?
Make ace, go overt reguarly, and you'll get your wish.
Talk about a pain in the @$$!
Fun and fast as heck though and even though I died a ways into it, I came out of it with 160k Starship XP after about 45 minutes of the missions, with 1 friend at the same spot in leveling as I am.
Level a bit and see what you think.

Yeah, I see that. But dont be too hard on him, it does take getting used to. And if he dosent like the beginning missions... Man wait until he hits those Teir 4 missions.....

Mostly since I have absolutely no qualms about hijacking this particular thread...
What types of macros do you use in space?
I have a short list of them myself, but they are very specific use and rarely used in a general combat situation, so you must have something in mind I'm missing.

is there such thing as a good place to grind space xp (I'm an imp pilot)
My personal favorite is a lone tier 5 that hangs around near the 2nd jumpoint in Dant, about 11000m out. I found it when I was a tier 1 andwould shootat anything with a red box around it, because I didn't know any better. 
8k a pop, but you have to wait about 3 minutes for another to spawn. But there is usually a group of tier 3s nearby to pass the time. I leveled all of tier 1 and 2 doing missions and killing that tier 5, mostly during double xp week. I had a bunch of xp left over by the time I got to tier 3. Once in a while, the ship spawns with 3 tier 4 yt1300, which makes it interesting, especially when your a tier 2 and your blasters hit them like soggy spit balls.
But much like my wife, I wore them down until they gave in. 
I just built myself a high mass syck and I have been flying tier 4 duty missions with it, but they are a little dry. Any suggestions on a good place to grind a million xp a box quickly? I'm getting bored killing that tier 5 every night.
Try getting an ace friend to help and go to Kessel. If you can have the GBs there disabled, just tap them for 33,000 xp. I finished grinding T2 my second time around in under anhour easily.....its not that hard.
i did all my tear 4 grinding in kessle, gun boats and vettes provide lots of xp and also there is tear 5 ships to pass the time between spawns.
also the misson from the rori space station ( all tear 3-4 ships )is pretty good for xp
