well what is detremental about using decayed components in high end pvp/pve? your weapons shoot just as hard, your shields say up just as long. if your shields and armor are gone, something tells me it's fairly rare your components HP is going to save you, i'll conceed it happens occasionally. i guess.

Server and time of day, and day of week, it's all conditional. So far, every time I go into Kessel, everyone respects the truces and even several have asked me if I was there for PvP. When I answered "No", they respected it.


However, I'd hate to be on one of these other servers that have more assinine players, or on during the weekend, or, thank god it's not summer anymore.


But, what both of you say happens. Just at different times.



But you dont deny that people wont pose as PvEers and PvPers wont violate any "truse" as there is no way to enforce them.

Jesus how many of these threads do their need to be. This is probably temporary cause I'm sure moving the Master mission isn't as simple as some of you think. RELAX!!

Man I wish I was on your server. Id just camp that spot and kill your ass every time you spawned, every time you tried it, all day long. It would be so satisfying to make you EAT those words for being such a complete idiot. Then once youd given up, I could follow you around with covert scanners, ganking you all day long when youv got no buffs. See how fun it is to get slaughterd with no chance of winning?


Some people open their mouths without actually saying anything. Meeuki, this has been one of your times.







But you couldnt Cuz hes the most Uber and Greatest Player ever to load on to this game. He pays way more than you per month. His opinion is all that counts. And the thought of his actions and others like him have caused this change to ocur coulndt penatrate his self indulgence.


Now get him from out Behind that Keyboard and In a Uniform to do some real Fighting and we would see what a Coward is.

I tried Pvp in kessel for the first time this afternoon on my imperial pilot. I have to sayI realy enjoyed the kessel experience. First i went in in my tie interceptor, after a while of flying around two player a-wings came at me firing. I twisted and turned and in the end i beat them both. I ended up with no armor left on the front cause one of them hit me with a missile, i was surprised that i survived it. SoI wen't back and got my tie advanced, declared overt and returned to kessel. I flew around all afternoon wiping out gunboats and fighters while taking on anyone that attacked me. It was great fun. In the end i came away with about 10000 imperial faction points, a promotion to master seargent, and about 10+ playerbattles won against mostly a-wings. And not a single defeat. I plan to see how long i can go before someone finaly gets me. Hopefuly i can keep my flawless kessel record till tuesday.


On thing that struck me as interesting is the closest I came to dying, other than in the conflict with the first two a-wings. Was when a skillful y-wing pilot with an obviously powerful gun almost wiped me out. He nuked my front shield and armor with a good shot in the opening aproach, but couldn't manouver enough in the end. I also liked the fact that i was able to take my tie interceptor in there and compete without any trouble. It would be fun to go in a Tie/in i think as well. I think the 25% damage reduction coming in the patch is going to be just about right for fighters, but id still like to see something that has the heavies and multiplayer ships be as tough as they should be to take down for alight fighter.


All that being said i still do not support forced pvp to access the master box. I think it would be nice to have the option when entering if I and my group want to have full pvp on the mission or if we want to disable it for the duration of the mission. Choice is good, because it includes everyone. I had no trouble finding people to compete with in there that were NOT involved in doing the mission. In fact i didn't see a single person doing the mission in there and i got a ton of opertunities to engage in pvp with happy consenting pvp'ers that had a good time.


After this experience i have decided that i will try to be overt 100% of the time from now on when flying aroundwith my imperial pilot. But i sure dont want any part of an event run by a spoilsport that calls people names in an event advertisment. It shows you are the kind of imature person that i don't want to participate with, and its these extremist attitudes that give pvp a bad name.

It's a shame there's nowhere you can go at no cost to PvP now, going overt is an option for, say, a two 3rds of the player base, however, once you land, you'll still be overt, I will not run around overt on ground, as ground PvP is IMO not working. So to PvP in space I'd also be forced to spend and inactive hour on ground after undeclaring, to get my very much liked covert status back. This way of going space PvP certainly isn't the best.




This is false. Once you land you are imediately set back to covert so you cannot be ambushed on the ground without buffs. Declaring in space is fast, fun and full of benefits. Such as ground faction points from killing factioned npcs.


That said it does not help privateers. Regardless of when kessel gets put back to fullpvp i'd like to see a way to declare your privateer faction, so you can be overt to RSF for example as a smugglers alliance member.

See here, this is what uber 1337 kids do. Their only method of conflict resoluton is combat, and they'll goto any lengths to get it. That or he's an idiot that thinks my life is so absorbed by this game that Iv got a week to burn in piolet on a server I dont give a crap about.


The term "Idle threat" seems to have lost its meaning here people. Its not a minor threat that they dont mean to do or cant do for any reason. Its ANY threat.


man thats pretty basic stuff here

"i'm going to have to outfit my agressor to make it viable.. that thing's like a schoolbus going 80 on ice"


heheh.. I luv my aggressor. dropped a looted 79.9 engine in it with high 60s and a 70 on the rates. a single very nice gun in the nose and a MK III proton. does 750ish full speed and at 1/2 to 3/4 speed can get around fast enough to take a piece out of the Teir 5 A-wings while they try and Joust me. Thats all you need. I fI can get the angle on them I can stay inside of and lead shoot the A-wings. Just get yourself a NICE engine.
