I am very sad to here the Space combat wont change. I was praying that since ground combat will now be twitch combat that the damage delt in space pvp / duel would match the ground combat to increase the fun.
Now I understand why the damage system is currently. Why you want two to three hits kills for players who are not skilled in twitch so they can have the space feel for star wars. But lets face it you actually killed space for a lot of great pilot players!In additionit has not been over whelming in bringing more intreast and fun into the game for new players. Maybe its time to rethink Space combat and allow us to have the same fun as other flight sims. Since SOE/Lucas is taking a gamble to try and bring a bigger played base to the game by converting to full twitch combat lets get space back also! This would help!!!!
No disrespec to any who like the current system however this change would increase the fun factor!
I have Master pilot in all three areas rebel/neutral and Imperial and I am bored to death with the barrel roll in yaw to target and kill system this is. I WANT TO FLY AGAIN!!!!
Thank you
Norram and Abi had a 33 minute dogfight not too long ago. Then not long after that they had a 23 minute fight. If it took more than 2 or 3 hits to kill another player, fights would easily last hours and 10 minutes is exhausting. The current space combat system ensures a fast paced, knuckles hurting, sweaty palms style of fights that does last an insanly long amount of time. (kind of like what the ground game is going toward) to soften this system would remove the Star Wars, sit on the edge of your seat, can't blink cause you might miss something feel that is in the movies.
LOL
One I am an OLD OLD man and an actual pilot.(Radial engines aircraft rule!)I also can hold my own against the cafinee junked up "kitties".
Sorry CuchulainnDarklight I been in flight sims a very long time and the above post was from expierance.

Pace I salute you that you have found an apponant worth the fight.
However I have never had a fight last more then 5 minutes on my server. Yes I was the victor.
/shamless server plug
come to starsider... we have tons of good pilots and DS is very active. As well as weekly large scale pvp events and weekly dual nights.
Not for long methinks. Though SWBF2 looks like it will be doing well.

Read this:
• Officer = Princess Leia
Do you think you have what it takes to be an Officer? Can you handle the responsibility of other people's lives? Are you calm in a crisis?
Every army needs good leaders to organize the troops and help them perform at their peak! Whether Imperial or Alliance , if you want to be an officer, you will learn how to lead a squad and how to fight. You will keep your squad alive, no matter how hostile the terrain.
General Skills:
• Ranged Combat
• Group Buffs
• Sniper Techniques
Special:
• Orbital Strike – the ability to call in heavy fire down from the sky
• Resupply Command – that initiates a Shuttle to drop off more stim packs, grenades, food and other supplies
• Blaze of Glory – heavy damage attack
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? This seems to re-enforce my speculation of atmospheric flight.

Goodness knows I've been jonsing for a Hoth pvp/pve battlefield where ATAT's are employed against snowspeeders.

Well, this is all heresay. Good heresay, but heresay nonetheless. But it would open the door for some awesome battles. And in that sense this will be the best mmo game "ever." imo.

Heresay or not, if the next release was GCW centric it would provide a huge boost in the 'Star Wars'y feel.

Okay, so in the new system as it stands, in order to change classes, you'll need to basically delete your current character and start another. In a debate over the (de)merits of that system, another corr raised the excellent question of whether we'll still be able to change pilot squads like we can now. I'll get anything I find out on that front back here pronto.
