Heh...the abandoned Tatooine station is one of the two battle sites for this week's event, yes. Quite a coincidence. (Check out the Starsider board for RP reasons. )


And actually, using space stations has kept me alive against some serious odds. We had a skirmish at Dathomir once and suddenly I found myself alone against at least six or eight Imps. (Didn't really have time to count.) I dove at the mining station and started weaving around it...they couldn't hit me until Tomo got out at range and nailed me with missiles.

I do laps around the spacestations all the time, in all of my ships. It's pretty fun to fly my deci and yt at 1200+ speed through the tighter spots.

What would be cool is a system that is full of asteroids, large and small (perhaps the alderran system?) perhaps have some the size of the one in Empire? So you could do "trench" runs and such?

Make it a decayless zone too, throw in a few POI stations and it'd be awesome for pvp

I duno, if we get enough interest in this, perhaps we'll see it as a novelty item one of these days.

no the sad part is that SOE isnt giving us something better to do.

Good point. But I guess it can be argued..there is somthing else for us to do. I mean..don't get me wrong, I'm a pilot 99% of the time I'm playign this game and would love to see more content but..after some thought about it I kinda realised well...this is a game which isn't soley about flying..in fcat, its a game where on the whole, flying is a secondary to the main game so in effect there is plnty of things for us to do...justnot particlarly what we're interested in.


I got to admit, after this Saturday's space pvp event is over with I'll be starting to take some time to work more on the ground. I been finding it fun this lately. My framerate is literally twice as good as it was on Bria and my ping is lower too. Only thing is, I'd like to stop having to call on lvl 80s whenever I need to do somthing. Time to get to a better level. Combat lvl 23 is surprisingly weak without Bob..my trusty LE Repair tank droid of doom from Bria.

QFE.

I do the same thing. RIght now, im bored with a capital B.

Sony really REALLY needs to do something soon, because i dont know how much longer people like me are gonna hold out waiting for something... anything.. to re energize the game.
