Your one of those people that wanted space buffs, i know it. Maybe you can start a petition to get AS and SW to be able to craft some 90% comp for your ship.

Have you seen the preview for The Carebears and Ranters 1rst Trip to Outer Space? Its finally playing in theaters now!! The prequel- The Sims Online in 3D, OMG- was just awesome...

I just always take a flashy change of clothing, a full suit of comp armor, and a group of spammers, (master dr, a 100c per % master smug, a snooty master artisan, one overconfident master marksman trying to train you, and one noob [more likely an alt) in default clothing spamming for free handouts, and some hot chick(?) that keeps spamming "I want to buy your comp helm now")

These people WILL all make your JTL experience extremely enjoyable and easier if you group with them before launching a multi class ship. Its like playing the ground game in space!!

oh and I NEVER forget the annoying twilek lesbian cybering couple, a wookie who's only concerned with "scoring with the babes", and pack some nerfed spices with me in space so I can be reminded of the good ole days when things get ruff, and when they do its always nice to add a group of rebel AND Empirial elders sitting in a circle spamming away about "the good ole days.

* sorry for cynical but I'm up for the challenge, but I realize I would have to master shipwright before soloing any more of these. Being as butt ugly looking (even for a trando) as I am ingame, I experience a lot of prejudice. it seems I have mostly luck meeting total tools who want to ridicule my looks and ragged dress style except for those blue moons now and then I come across someone cool.

But, as the ground game is, your easily forgotten the next day when everyone can solo any mission. Which is why this level of difficulty is needed to force us to group and be cool to each other for a change, not just some random master marksman with- "Hey you a TKA?!? Lets hunt! Plzzzzz hurry dude you got vehicle?!" (No I just mastered smug all on foot, idiot) "I want to hunt uber mobs and I only got 1 hour b4 bed!!!"

Oh np! Let me just load up /feigndeath and I'll be more than THRILLED to be your tank, 3 times in a row.

Well I think thats what the point was. This game was supposed to be one where you can have just as much fun solo than with a group. the SS Tier 3 mission is a bit tough to do with one person with all the upgrades their little Tie Fighter can hold. At the same time, I hear from all the neutrals and rebels saying how easy their tier 3 was to get through solo. The difficulty level is not balanced between factions and squadrons, and for the more difficult ones, there's no extra perk for completing it. I just chose it because it came up first on my screen, lol. I had no idea I picked the most difficult sqaudron. I've suffered losses before and failures, but this one is downright spirit-breaking.

My mission, Tier 3 mission 2 Vortex Squadron, is bugged. I want them to fix this damn thing.

Ok first of all I like to solo. But this "x-treme solo" on EVERYTHING is total BS. Come on its X-pac can't we change the dynamic slightly? You can't form real alliances with people unless your some super bubbly personality, and I don't really feel like making my hot babe or human stud alt my main.

Its a MMOG geez ppl. where did it ever really state that the game was garunteed for solo? I'm sure it said it is an option, but they're not required to make it soloable for your toon standards. I seem to remember a while back around july '03 lurking and anticipating the day I got to play, I read about how people would form huge groups to hunt with.

When I arrived at the end of december this was still going on, for a few days. it was so much more interesting compared to solo. Everyone seemed to have this role sort of, like in MMOGs of the past. Then suddenly in one week I never saw a group again. Most MMOG gamers are used to co-oping with others on mobs, not buffing up into god mode to 'pwn' PVE with no other PC in site. Its not the other way around. MMOGers expect co-op and new comers to this game slowly have to adjust to "extreme solo".

Now when someone asks, "Do you want to go hunting for krayt dragons with me? And do you have good armor?," its usually from some clown fully suited in bone armor, weilding a laser rifle.

Basicly what they're trying to really say is, "can I ride your coat tail and annoy the sht out of you with my impatient style?"

Being forced to solo 95% of ground combat myself, I have no compassion for them or there XP dilemmas. I've given it many shots, only to be yelled at in the end by them when they die with laser rifles at point blank range.

I was a late comer (x-mas noob) but I lurked the forums fanboy style way before even Beta. I never really seen the statement that "its intended to be totally solable". Why would it be like that in a MMOG? Well ninja looting I see is just basicly accepted in this game. In EQOA that was some serious blacklist move, but then again thats a game that relies on co-op and grouping to get almost anywahere past day 3. Ppl are way less likely to ninja loot when the game depends on them finding someone again to group with. PPL begin to behave when their forced to group.

Devs, dont nerf JTL pve. Mastering Pilot shouldnt be quick or easy, at all.
