Lag /offsync issues:

Target lead indicator is rarely correct (often not even close to.
Hitting the target doesn't do any damage. Shield effect is shown. Client/Server off-sync issue.

That's the main problem I have today. Especially hitting the ship (visually and audio) without doing damage.

Wow. Whirlwind day for me... thanks again to everyone who made me feel so immediately at home!

While I'm putting together a personal introduction for you guys, I wanted to give you an opportunity to let me know what your top pet peeve in JTL is. It can be a "feature" or a bug, and you can write as much or as little as you want, but for this warmup mini-exercise I'd be much obliged if you'd limit yourself to your number one issue.

Over the next few days, I hope to use this thread and others like it to compile a list of the top five major player issues with JTL as it stands in its just barely post-release state. The manner in which these issues are addressed, or whether they are indeed considered issues or not will, as always, be at the discretion of the development team, but if you've got ideas for a solution to your issue, then by all means include them! Player feedback was an amazing source of constant game improvement during beta and it's my fervrent hope that the pilot community at large will continue to assist me with its amazing range of creativity and problem-solving skills.

Fire away!

Please let me use the letter ø in ship name. Want to name my ship Mjølner (the name of the viking god Thor's hammer)

No time to read everything, but I've posted this issue in a few boards already:

Is there a /ui command for changing the CURRENT TARGET BRACKET? I've seen two different bracket graphics now and since you can change the reticle, I'm assuming you can change the brackets. Not essential to gameplay, just frustrating because I haven't gotten an answer yet.

Thanks in advance, and Welcome, _Smoke_ (Do you by any chance play Halo PC online?)

P.S. Two Words - Star Destroyers - Need more of 'em to blow up.

I'd just like to slip in another one here...

I'd like to see level appropriate Duty Missions available at all times. If I'm getting hammered on a mission it'd be a nice break and good practice to go do some of these.

I'd also hope they'd be available as something to do after reaching Master.

#1 is get the mixed grouping working properly: Rebs, Imps and Neutrals when grouped should at least be able to run neutral missions - Unless of course the ultimate aim is to just have two uber guilds- the Rebels and the Imperials? If so please tell me now, I can cancel and save myself some money.

#2 is related - something other than PvP needs to exist after Master - I don't mind PvP, but only PvP isn't worth the monthly subscription.

This isn't 'threat to quit stuff' just economics - I want to get the best for my time and money - a pure PvP game or one where I can't usefully team up with players who are of a different faction isn't good value for me.

1) Target lead is too far off to be worth anything...many other space sims have it done right...fix this one.
2) Enemy AI is stupid. I am a Reb and fighting Ties ends up as the 2 of us just looping around in a circle at Tier 1 and 2. Then at Tier 3, they just out run me and spin back and we go head to head...pass and keep doing it again and again. It is just dumb.
3) Everything is too slow...I guess I really just want X vs. Tie again, but it is not even close to that.
4) Please...Please have some storage space in my ship. Even is it takes up some mass to add. I cannot stand that my regular inventory fills up with space loot.
5) Missions spawning too close to others doing the same mission. Their fighters sometimes end up mixed with mine and when I cycle through my targets, I cannot tell whose is whose.
6) If I cannot attack it, please do not include it when I cycle through enemy targets. It is so annoying that something can shoot at me, but I cannot kill it.
7) Maybe give us a separate key to cycle through attackable enemies.
8) Radar = useless and horrible. Need a forward and back radar ala XvT.
9) Please change the bracket color for the ship that I have targeted. When 3 Ties spawn for one of my missions, they all have red brackets...that's ok. Then I go to target them and the only change is that little red, barely visible life/shield bar thing. Just change the braket color to gold or something so I know which one I have targeted.
10) Go back and play XvT or X-Wing: Alliance...then make this game exactly like them...they were great games.
11) I hate having to land all the time to go get missions. There should be certain mission types available in space...through comm link or space station. Just don't always make me land to get another.
12) Map (N key) stinks...I cannot even figure out what I am looking at in there.
13) Autopilot...what is the point of this? I engage it and tell it to take me to a waypoint (station) and it sets me on course that is not towards the station.

That is all that I can think of right now, but I know that I have some more.
