Pilot Archive

I like soloing the missions because they're challenging and fun. In my first pilot profession, I got alot of help (from ace pilots) and the missions seemed pretty boring. Enemy fighters would get wiped out in seconds. There's no sense of danger. The problem is that I think the missions were designed to be soloed (by skilled and well-equipped pilots that is...). Mission spawns do not scale to the group's level so the missions become too easy for a group.

So I started soloing and so far I've soloed Black Epsilon, RSF, Crimson Phoenix, and Havoc Squadron (different toons from different servers). Next on the list: Storm Squadron.

I would disagree. The thing about the missions is, that is definitely challenging to a new player who doesn't go find out what to expect. And most new players don't go out of thier way to find RE'd/uber parts for their ships (new player=less money). But after the first mastering, it does get very easy.

Some people did not buy the game to solo everything. When I bought JTL it wasn't about mastering pilot or soloing a squadron, it was about the adventure. Not everyone has the money to buy the equipment or has the skill to solo so I dont see why people who can't solo are "whiners," They seek help or advice from more experienced players and thats what I "thought" this game was about.

Okay, the only point I want to make is that to complain about not being able to solo anything is stupid.

Plain and simple.

In real life, pilots always fly with at least one wing-mate

In star wars, Luke flew as part of Red Team and later Rogue Squadron.

If you don't want to play with other people, pick up a copy of some of the older Star Wars sims. This is a game that's based on playing with other people and cooperating. Stop whining and make friends.

With the proper equipment I can't think of anything in space that can't be solo'd. The hardest thing would be trying to solo the imp vette at tier 4, and that's because you've got 2 aggressors in the escort and those things just nail the hell out of you.

I eat gunboats for breakfast.

I actually have an interesting rebel vette story. I am just hanging out killing stuff in kessel, and I come upon these two imperials trying to take down the rebel vette. I decide to jump in and help out. Well, I finish off the escort for them and the 2 rebel gunboats, and they still can't seem to take out the shields and the engines before it hypers out. I laughed real hard after that one.

Lol, sure ill not solo when they have things hard enough not so solo. Until then I prefer being one of the best pilots on my server and the constant soloing in my A-wing helps keep my skills sharp!

Um... I'll take those aggressors if you'll come take out the gunboats on the rebel 'vette for me.

(No, not really.)

i rather take out agressor over guneboats any day. I still dont have it down on killing them. I keep forgeting what gun i need to shoot on the back.

Go to the movies. Luke went to Dagobah solo. Boba Fett was solo. Obi Wan went chasing Boba Fett solo.

Just because people want to play the game differently than you doesn't make them stupid.

MMORPG means I'm playing the same game as other people at the same time. I buy ships from them, I buy parts from them. Doesn't mean I have to fly with them if I don't want to.
