Pilot Archive

I checked it out on TC and there are still 3 rebel squads so I would imagine that the others are there too.

good thing im ace then hopefully wont affect ace too much

Why not just grind to master if your worried about being screwed over cause your not master?

Maybe because some of us aren't able to spend 12 hours a day grinding and running stupid hour-long escort missions to get it completly done.

Yes, I know it won't take 12 hours a day for 5 days to finish my Pilot from 3433 to master, but I do have other obligations.
I'm not especially 'worried' about it but others are.
Some of whom, myself included, don't have the XP bonuses either.
Actually, I've not seen anywhere that says Entertainer buffs are still in the game, but I don't spend a lot of time in the Entertainer forums, either.

Of course, I figured they would always be there, and maybe they still are, but it's going to be a bit before someone finds out.

I see a lot of posts about 4/4/3/3s or 4/3/3/3s worried about their boxes, do that many people really stall out on Tier 4? Is that just for the Actis?

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've talked to a several mid-tier pilots who looked at that ridiculous xp cost for master and thought there was no point. As we Aces know it's a sham, you don't actually need 7M xp for master, but there's nothing there to tell the players that. They see 4x1M+7M= 11 million xp ahead of them and say 'f*** that.'

It's realy not all that bad... well if you don't find it fun don't do it... I mostly soloed my pilot tree over the corse of a month and when it stoped being fun I took a break.

Them rearangeing the tree does not "screw" anyone... you my be able to grind out w/o the missions... but if you end up needing them... well I guess it comes down to how bad you want it, or how nice you ask for help... and if it was important you would have aced.

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

I agree that the 'vette is'nt as hard as many think. The two things that scare me most in space are theWarlord medium cruiser that spawn in Dath space and any lvl 5 gunboat that is chasing you as it's target ( this is supposing that you feel the need to kill either of thies and dont just run away )

The Vette really isn't that hard to solo - it's more psychological and partly tactical than anything else IMO. I mean, I took it out during my first Starsider mastery in a standard X-Wing using lvl 5/6 blasters only (which suprised me hoesntly - the last time I tried was in an A-Wing and I had a much harder time).
