Its getting hold having to fight those guys 
unless the guy is a noob and don't carry chaffs, there's no way i can hit them.

Epulse 3!..does wonders for their moral...just prepared to use /addignore.
As for the fix...it's one of those things that'll probably be fixed the same time as WO3...heh

I don't have epluse 
and i hate it too 
. I don't mind the guy who use his RGI and didn't knew about the hitbox bug even tho.. when you can fly over the Vette's and not getting hit it should at least raise an ebrow, right?

JSF and IGI hitboxes are the same size, only difference is you need to know where the IGI hitbox is.
the topic should read: "Any ETA on when they'll fix ALL the small hitbox ships?"
the only reason the IGI seems more difficult is it is rarer, the optical illusion makes it harder, and people who use it tend to use good YPR engines in it more often. the JSF by contrast is a noob ship, and plenty of people load it out with horrible YPR engines, making it easier to hit. adjust to the optical illusion (think more actively about where the box is, and you'll find things becoming slightly easier... although not much.

you'd think so, but most people don't actually put that much thought into the game, they just assume they are somehow better pilots. as for the people who run away and come back in an IGI, i just laugh, even if they win, they already lost. you could try telling them that, but they wouldn't understand. unfortunately you're never going to get past pilots like these in an MMO, for me it's satisfying to use a heavy ship 100% of the time and humiliate them in their cheater ships. i know it's not much of a consolation...

its not bugged....it doesnt need fixed..there's nothing at all wrong with it...the best way to kill them is the swoop under them and hit from the bottom or top and you will do damage, dancing in circles wont get you a kill like every other fight.

I have attacked the corvette in a RGI and jinxed right and left to test the only top or bottem hit abilties. It hit me lots of times. It may be not as large as some fighters but it is there. even from the front and back.

For those who still insist there is nothing wrong with the RGI hitbox location...go to DS with a fellow Imp pilot.

The box needs to be adjusted downward, but there's nothing bugged about the size.
I really don't understand all the whining about this.

that's not a good test at all. i've dueled capable pilots in JSFs for over 20 minutes neither of us landing a hit, and i've dueled people in my IGI and been shot down with guns.
it's not that people are saying there's nothing wrong with it. there OBVIOUSLY is something wrong with it, the hitbox is 1/4 the size of the ship model.
HOWEVER the hitbox sizes are nearly identical between the IGI and the JSF, what happens if the model (rediculous as it sounds) of the IGI is reduced to correspond with the hitbox? will people still complain? will people still curse the IGI while happily flying around in their JSFs? YES they will. if you fly a JSF as your primary ship, or a B22, YOU DONT DESERVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE IGI. the AI may have problems finding the scalp of the ball, but as an experienced pilot you should not, all you have to content with is the optical illusion you get when flying against them at high speeds.
now, of course the IGI hitbox should be the same size as the model, however all the IGI does is highlight how stupid ships with that hitbox size are. it's stupid because it makes ALL PVE trivial. it's stupid because it forces pilots to those ships to remain competitive in PVP. the IGI needs to be fixed, yeah, but the other cheater ships need an a-wing sized hitbox as well.

in an IGI and JSF and B22 i can solo every single thing in the game. in any older light fighter the same feat would be impossible. maybe it's not a "bug" persay, but it's definately not right. the a-wing hitbox is small enough for this game, we don't need to go any smaller than that.
and i mean really, cmon, you shoot the wings dead on with a cannon and it goes right though? i can see arguing "fair is fair" cause other ships have the same hitbox, but it's obviouslya bug thathalf the model is unhittable. it needs to be fixed but the JSF/B22 fix and the IGI fix should come hand in hand.

I love the RGI and rarely fly anything else on my Imp pilot,but I agree that the hitbox is laughable. Unlike the JSF and grievous, we actually have a few nice barriers in that if the wings are hit the hitbox can not be touched... very nice for corvettes and the like
Still...until I couldget another sexy Red Tie that looks as sweet with purple blasters, I'm sticking with it

The SWG devs clearly made a design decision in making the hitboxes on these ships as small as they are.
If you dislike the design decision, great, try to convince them to change it, etc.
It's still not a bug.
