I fail to see how this F's all pilots. Or any pilots...am I missing something? A PILOT would just hop up into space with whatever ship he/she can fly and get things done.

By niether you sig nor you side badge can I tell if your Imp or Reb. If you are Imp, soloing the corvette is pretty simple. Bomber strike 2 can dissable the vette weapons. so all you have to do is take out the fighters and gunboats, fairly straightforward. When I was at 4444 I just got tired of waiting for my Master friends to help me out and did this on my owne the first try.


YOU CAN DO IT


hope the encouregment helps.

What's the problem? If you just stopped at this level a long time ago then you obviously don't fly much and won't be missing anything. If you are mid-grind...then you are grinding anyway and will have it soon. Sure, maybe you had picked the starfighter box first and outfitted one, but I don't see the big deal going back down to your last ship until you get the box. Certainly no where near game breaking or getting screwed over.

well they messed with the order in which you gain skills so I have a felling 4433 becomes 3344 or 3443 so while the non ace pilot is not losing anything they have to grind to the tier 4 certifications again to fly there JSF.






Thanks for translating.

I don't see the problem tbh, will do most pilots good to learn in some Tier 3 original JTL ships. And its not like there's not reason other than laziness to get Master over 4433.





hmmm X wing can grind you ALOT faster than a JSF, TIE int teaches you TONS about mass management and dunelizard can take you from near novice to ace without too much trouble what's the problem?

Agreed, also if you're neutral you can pretty much take out the vette without agro if you're prepared to do a lot of hyperspace jumping and catch it at the right time.

And if you're rebel, take out the fighter screen, IFF scramble, sit behind the vette and take out weapon 5 with a missile while it's still ignoring you and you're laughing.

The vette is not as hard as everyone thinks, lord csycc (spelling) is much harder

Grab a friend and knock out the rest of the boxes. I finished one of my server aces last night, today and tomorrow I'm working on getting a few groudn skills squared away. Gonna be a wierd weekend.








I did. I stalled out on 4333 for several months because 1 million xp per box was pretty daunting. Not to mention that my guildmates were mostly below me and I couldn't solo the exit/intro quests before getting duty missions.


But then I went shopping and realized that the looted crap I was putting in my ship had me fighting at a tier 2 level. And I learned about droid programs. Needless to say, the trek from 4333 to ace was pretty quick at that point.


Unfortunately, there are a lot of ignorant pilots out there. Those of us who know the system should take on the role of mentor and help these folks out. I've got a standing invitation on in Kettemoor to help anyone who needs it. I don't care what faction, guild, or server someone's on, I'll pass on what I know. That doesn't mean putting them in my POB ship to get xp, that means truly helping them learn. If more pilots are educated, that means more folks will participate in space and we'll all have a better time. Heck, it may make us Aces learn new tricks as more folks push us on the battlefield.

That's the way i look at it. Stalling at 4433 just seem, well, a waste really. You're past the point of no return, so why not just go the rest of the way?

You can get 1 million XP in less than 2 hours, and that's taking it very slowly.




Where? and How? - don't leave out the details






Silly Rodain....that place I showed you....you know.....


Anyway, I intend to spend most of the day saturday finishing out Aroura's ace badge, so if you want xp be online. I'll pick up a tier 1 y-wing and you can ride in the turret.
