Ok i know this subject has been brought up before, but this is just wrong. I know the Star Destroyer has no fighter support, and there arn't many people willing to defend it, and the Station seems to spawn mobs to defend itself at least that's what i got from the few posts i read. This isn't about that stupidity. My point is this, why the hell are most components on the star destroyer so damn easy to destroy, that's what a half a mile long ship out there a single bwing shouldn't have an easy time disabling it! It. As it stands now it takes me more or less 7 passes to wipe out a star destroyer ( i will not post the details ), but that's pretty much 1 pass per sub component.I take almost no damage from this the most dangerous part is attacking the bridge. Now i don't know how easily an imperial can destroy portions of the space station, i've never seen one try, But my point is the damage that needs to be done should be increased at least tenfold. While i believe an EXCEPTIONAL pilot should be able to take out ither one solo, he/she should have a much harder time doing it.

andcon- Bug Fix. PvP is useless to me now. My ship of choice is bugged. And i never see anyone in DS anyway due to the ease of killing the SD.

Yeah, but there's also a problem with the Star Destroyer. Its supposed to be a solid object, but Imps on Lowca are hiding *inside* it. Not in the hangar bay, mind you, inside the ship's structure. Typically parking in the bridge of it.

Before I get to what I really want to say I want to comment that the ISD is too easy to destroy and hope they do include comperable fighter screens about the ISD as exist around the Freedom Station. I would prefer the challenge of having a fighter screen to disrupt before the bombers make their pass.


Now to my comment on this whine. I remember back in the day when the crackdown happened. The Imperials screamed and whined "OMG!The developers gave the Rebels entire cities to farm! The developers are pro-rebel". Now, it is the opposite situation where there are not as many imperial targets to destroy and they cry "OMG!The developers didn't include imperial ships to protect the ISD! The developers are pro-rebel"


If they do, whine. If they don't, cry. It is rather tiresome hypocracy that doesn't provide any value added to the discussion

Had this been in any area other area than Deep Space, I would have agreed. The space station and the Star Destroyer in deep space must remain fairly easy to destroy, since the main defense is really supposed to be other players. If it's too hard to destroy, people wouldn't bother with it in a PvP scenario.The fact that SOE has completely "forgotten" to give us any plausible, strategicreason to protect and destroy these targets is completely besides the point.


Now, had the Star Destroyer or Space Station been in a pure PvE area, I would have to say that there should be a huge fighter escort, and that all the components should be much tougher to take down. In fact, it should be a target for mixed groups of bombers and fighters only.


Anyway, last time I attacked the Star Destroyer, it seemed as a group of about six TIE interceptors spawned near me when I took out the engines. Not sure if that was a freak coincidence or related to the engines blowing up, but...

okay, i know people will really take the piss for this, but i have only been on jtl for a week.

How do i get into deep space?

I work full time (50 hours a week minimum), have a wife and baby boy, and other commitments. I just want straight answers. I don't have the time to read loads of forum stuff to find the info i need.

I can get the Freedom station in about the same number of passes without using any missilies, only my 2 guns my oppressor can load, and without using any trick/exploit like searching positions where the base guns cannot hit me. Shields can be done in one pass, reactor in one shot, the only one that takes long is the bridge, but with EO3, CO3, WO3, shield adjusted to rear and the use oc CtSS3 i can solo it without taking dmg

it doesnt really make sense, you are killing a star destroyer, something that is 100 times bigger than your ship and 20k is all you get lol

The problem is that how it was before (pre 1.5 patch) the rebel station in deep space was giving out 300-800K credits and was attackable by all faction (also rebels) and that started a station farming issue with ppl taking it down 10-20 times/day for an aferage of 5-10 Mil/day.


I think that the payout now is good to discourage that behaviour, but the faction it gaves out is stil too low compared with the 192 from the gunboats, 500 fps should be the payout from a corvette and the station/SD should give you 1000-1200 fps IMHO.
