No, it's not lag, I assure you. I noticed it the other day.


These ships are now dancing around like a real pilot would/should if someone is on their 6 firing at them. Almost like a player would in PVP. I have some lag in Kashyyk, but not that would account for that. I also never noticed the rubberbanding, or the warping (on NPC ships, anyways), but even in Lok, doing a missiona couple of nights ago, tier 3 A-wings had me going mad trying to catch them in my JS.


It really looks more to me the AI has been DRASTICALLY hyped up, and we now have Corran Horn and Wedge flying all fighters now.







Hmm, i have never ever ever heard of a real pilot (or fictional Star Wars one for that matter) being able to make their ship/plane fly sideways/backwards, or make a 90-180 degree change INSTANTLY! Even Luke Skywalker couldnt have defeated pilots like this. Plus, i cant remember anywhere in the X-wing books where it described the fly sideways instantly stop, instantly rotate 180 degrees, instantly accelerate to full, and finally suddenly jump 10 m to dodge incoming fire manouver!


I hope its lag or a bug, if not i will just file it away with the new starfighters in the "how to screw up the last working balanced part of an online game" file!


And im not talking about rubberbanding or warping im talking about the instantaneous reactions and course changes - understandable perhaps in a droid fighter, not one with a sentient or 2 aboard!
