If you outfit the mining vessel for combat, why can't it be effective as a fighter? Plus, a skilled pilot (person who started this thread obviously is) can make almost anything work, I mean, look at Dwarf and Leaph. (No ill intentions meant with this post ).

Let me rephrase that, its pretty sad that anything we currently have in game can destroy the star destroyer 1 on 1. (not a flame)

Ahhh, your point is crystal-clear now! Yes, I agree, it is rather rediculous, but before they fix that, they need to fix the fact that the Reb station is currently invincible.

it would be viritually impossible to design an ISD that couldn't be destroyed 1 on 1. increase it's gun strength significantly and no group of players could take it out because they would all die in 3 hits. increase it's aim and the same thing would happen. increase it's shields and it would just take longer, give it escorts and it would just take longer.

maybe through some kind of hack mechanic you would make it so you need other pilot decoys to enable pilots to do strafing runs, but cmon, that's just cheese. the ISD is not a PVE target, it's meant as a point of reference for people to PVP around, and a wierd metagame for deep space.

Hmm, how about making it manuever through DS a fair amount? Not sure how much harder that would make it... I do see your point. It would be extremely hard to make it extremely hard. LOL

Frankly, they need to flush Freedom Station down the sewer and get us an MC80 Mon Calamari cruiser out there. THEN make'em maneuver.

That works for me.

i'd love to see the ISD manuver to a climatic battle with a mon cal. to reduce lag from a contest like this, chop off half the ISD's guns and nix the hack where it shoots through itself.

imo the fix to the ISD is to have it's shield systems vulnerable to a torpedo class weapon, or a massive fighter assault (talking combined output of 10 or 20 fighters, or else it regens). this isn't going to make the ISD harder, just delay the inevitable long enough to discourage faction farming efficiency.

i also think the current system in DS should be scrapped. it's not fun, it really makes no sense, i mean why highlight the fact that the zone has walls by having ships fly around and bounce off of them in trajectories that are pointless? at the very least nix the rebel base, introduce cap ship variety and make them travel in sensible flight patterns across the zone with a hyperspace jump at the ISD side. fashion a metagame around this and make imperial spawns meet up with rebel cap ship spawns at different points on their route for sorties, and make it hard ffs. why do gunboats in DS move on rails? just to entice imps to come farm them? that's silly, instead of making a boring cash incentive for a zone put some thought into it and make it fun. i'd much rather be assaulting a vette or transport guarded by a gunboat that actually gave chase than blowing up row after row of mindless boats.

Thanks

Later today I will more than likely be doing some more runs into DeepSpace, I already have a few people wanting a trip and Sencom has enough prestige for a few runs there
