My (whole Beta) exprience by Boreback
I was so happy when I got into JTL beta that day because the rest of it was just plain crap. construction on the bridge coming back from college and what not. I came home after college that day and bam i check my email and there it was did everything correctly installed it with little trouble since i use firefox.
alright i entered beta when PVP testing was going on so when we got a pilot profession, we were automatically master pilots. and i was automatically given an X-Wing which i rightfully name ITSGOTAHEMI. I started a sollustian Rifleman/shipwright/reb pilot. after i got the stuff i needed. I went into space and omg it was so funny. 10-15 seconds into space i saw my cockpit and started flying straight and BAM CTD. CTD'd a couple of more times until the next morning and fixed it.I start flying around getting use to my old school sidewinder and it was fun just to do barrel rolls because the animation was solid. and the stars and the envirements and the content of the asteroids made it feel so space sim i said heck yea this it buddy. then after i got use to the controls. I decided to blow stuff up (i didn't declare overt) so i tried my hand at NPC's. little did i know. they had some fighters patrolling the stations and they kill stole everything you shot at. that meant you got very little exp. i bugged that so much and lots of other people did i'm sure of it and then I didn't know what i was shooting at but it mustve been guys in player ships because I didn't even feel a scratch. after that i landed and tried some shipwright.
so i get a few thousand resources and started crafting ships and components. I found town SCS's and starting working and crafting from there. I helped beggers with their ships because i am a nice guy and i started pimping out my own x-wing. I put a mark V engine in their which i rightfully named it 426 hemi and a bunch of other stupid components custom named. after that i took to space again
chasing npc's.
now after that for the next few days i tried out and A-wing which i crafted myself (named it Nights glow) and boy was that thing a ferrari in space i flew circles around fighters x5 faster than anything. I did a couple of mexican rebel drive bys in asteroids and nebulas. I even buzzed the space 6 times
in 1.5 minutes thanks to my hemi made mark v engine. my top speed was like 1286 and that was faster than Mr. T's custom 1982 GMC van (a-team sucka.)
aftere the a-wing trips i decided to help out noobs and try out the reb transport ship. boy that thing was like 2 sherman tanks 2 turrets and a co-pilot and pilot. I pilot that thing by myself. it was fun but if you got like 6 guys in there than its fun.
after all that they had a character wipe. so I created the MOTOR CITY MADMAN TED NUGENT!! I gave him rockstar clothing and master pistoleer and basic pilot and shipwright. this time pvp testing was over. and the pilot profession wasn't mastered you had to go find the trainers. so i did and i got rid of the starter ship and crafted my own noob ship and went to space on my first mission. and yet the npc fighters were still KS'ing. It annoyed the heck out of us. well i did a few missions and went back to crafting. I helped noobs out and went back to space. after i a few more missions i got a new dunelizard fighter which i named MOTOR CITY MADMAN. did a few missions and helped more noobs.
later i got the idea to start my own ship shop. (named it MCM dealership) I did and i put factories down and got everything ready. the factories did'nt work for ships then and so a shipwright union was called so we begged and pleaded that devs give us factories. (still do'nt know if we won the case yet.) anyways I got DE and built an annoying mouse droid merchant barking which i made it yell cat scratch fever and my wp. well i got customers galore. it was really hard since we could'nt use factories to keep up with orders. and everyday i had to grind out 9 chasis and 3 ships all made by hand. it sucked. i tookl to the skies barley getting exp due to KSing.
after TED NUGENT there was a server problem causing me to delete the character.
i created a few more characters but they didn't work out.
I then created a human rifleman/shipwright/imp pilot and named him Ihopped theborder which i gave him a sunguard sandals and white clothes to Rp a mexican farm laborer and i made another
shop and named it WORK HARDER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS DEPEND ON YOU. (i knows its a lil racist but cmon its kinda funny) I did imp missions helped noobs and got a imp pilot suit and did missions and made my own noob ship.
2 weeks went by and i concentrated on my main and then when back to my beta character. they let the sorosuub into the game and boy it was beautiful (even thought it was not decorated.) i went in there with some random testers and explored the ship. then we wnet into one of the testers suubs and he decorated it and it was awesome.
after that I help some guy out but we failed his mission x2 and i even tried missles but I had to sacrifice stuff in my tie fighter.
and thats the end of my story.
all in all JTL will be awesome just i think they should add in more content for shipwright like their own seperate
factory where they can craft ships and components and i think they shoud take away the ship broker dude because
shipwirghts won't make money because of him. can't paint imp ships other than that. it will rock.
please post any comments or questions. I do'nt wana see any flame broiled whoppers
