My problem is this with PVP and it is simple.


If it takes me a pilot 4444 with first mission done on ace in a bomber fully loaded with the biggest and badest blasters on the server 5-6 hits to take out a tier 4 b-wing why am i dead in 2 shots from a PC in a y-wing. That is just plan stupid. It should be a little more balnaced in fighting. PVP in space is a joke i can't go do my corvette ace mission in kessel without being shot at for no reason other than i am in a tie bomber. I have been out there for 2-3 hours at a time with no visible detection of the corvette and then it shows up and some $%^# players shows and shoots me twice and i die mission fail. Now i have to start the wait all over. I am to the point of saying forget ace and live with just the ace jacket and not get the decimator. This is not a way the game should be played on either rebel, neutral, or imperial. We should have to declare before being able to be fired on no matter where we are. IF you wan tPVP then create a specific place and dont put any missions in that area. This is just stupid planning on the Devs part.


I am now stepping off my soap box,

Thank you for giving me a place to get that off my chest.

No, it wasn't anything reverse engineered. I haven't gotten around to reverse engineering any of my componentry quite yet. The way I put out that kind of firepower, as I explained previously, is quite simple.

The TIE Advanced has two projectile slots. I've loaded mine with a pair of ~2k-3k guns. This was at the expense of having a booster or any missile weapons in my Advanced, but since I cruise at 1200+ I don't miss the booster all that much.

Furthermore, I run my Advanced with one flavor or another of Weapon Overload on most of the time. I don't know the exact modifier it provides, but since every volley from me is automaticallyat least4k-ish even before we discuss Weapon Overload, we can see where the massive damage in PvP comes from.

I've taken to /telling people while I'm in Kessel and Deep Space and warning them that if they get within 750m of me I will turn about and blast them, otherwise I will leave them alone. I'm out in those places trying to get the loot, trying to scout out the Corvette, andhelping guildies with their 30 kills missions.I'm trying to not engage in PvP if I can help it, butthe Forcehelp whatever Rebel player thinks I'm kidding. Just because I don't agree with how I can dish out damage doesn't mean I won't if they press me to it.

Sheesh, sounds like I need to hang out in Omen more often. haha. I hit a wall at 3,3,3,3. Some Tie Aggressor keeps waxing me. Guess I need to move up and out of my Kimo. I just hate the looks of the tier 4 and 5 ships... *sigh*
