match speed seems to only work with very limited ships for missions

it would be nice if it would work with all ships, PC & NPC

also, when you have a single POI active in your WP box, you can't click on it and make it go away like you can on the ground, you need to go to your datapad or nav comp to disable it

last thing is the cumbersome...ness...(if thats a word) of switching between flying and typing

maybe the mouse pointer UI mode should automatically have the chat box active

so if you're trying to talk, you don't have to click on the box, you can just press alt and start typing

So far, in my experience, if I begin typing with a /, it fools the system into thinking that I'm about to enter a command, so it listens. As I'm not in game, I can't verify whether or not I tap alt first, but I know that I haven't been irritated by the text thing yet, and it's something that would really piss me off.

Novice Pilot and a Tier 2 pilot grouped and went into space from Coronet in our respective fighters. We couldn't see each other and got "out of range" on the grouping window.

My understanding here is that space is instanced for novice pilots until they train in their first skill box after their initial 4 missions.

Confirmed, i had that issue until i finished my missions.

Not totally true, cuz my friend and I have this problem still we have been always about the same level, ie: me 1100 him 1110, ect.... Same when we got into tier 2. This problem seems to be intermitant for it does not happen all the time.

I can come and meet group in space, see them, have fun, I stay in group but land to train or install new part, launch again and can no longer see members of group, can't see thm using "k" and "l" even can see them being less than 20m from them.

hmmm, went away for me after i finished beginning missions. I have that problem on the ground too, may just be lag,

Very frustrating bug: moderate rear sheild reinforcement is broken. The command does nothing.

I noticed the same problem. First,..with rear shield reinforcement-light,..it actually was just reinforcing the front. Rear shield reinforcement-moderate doesn't do anything. I just got the next lvl in droid commands (heavy?). Havn't got a chance to check that one out yet.

Shipwright Components names are reverting to four letter descriptions (ex. Mark 2 Blaster becomes just Mark
Actually, it's the first space. If you name something 'Engine-Mk4' the entire thing will forever show. If you name it 'Engine-mk4 with overcharger' it'll revert to 'Engine-mk4' the next load, clipping everything after the space.

Top/bottom invulnerability seems largely a function of latency/lag and how you follow the target. I can reliably hit nearly everything, even from the top and bottom, and kill it... but I often have to shoot somewhere other than where the lead crosshair indicates. Perpendicular passes are the worst for this, often having to shoot an inch ahead (or behind) the lead crosshair. Success is when you see 'explosions' off of the target, regardless of whether you see shield flicker.
In beta, someone took a shot at explaining this, and the explanation seemed sound: Client side renders the lead crosshair, and the shield flicker. In perpendicular passes, the amount of difference between where the client thinks the target is (and where the lead crosshair needs to be) and the place the SERVER knows the target is (and where you need to be shooting) is very sensitive to latency. Just a little delay, and the client is showing hits (by shield flicker) while the server is registering misses. When you adjust your aim manually, you can get explosions off of the target without any shield flickers (and their condition goes down), suggesting that by shooting 'empty space' for the client, the client thinks you missed, the server registers a hit (because on its side, you correctly led the target and hit), reports the hit and damage to the client, which renders the little explosions and updates the target condition box.

Possible BUG with Engines and/or Y-Wing:

When ever i add an engine to the Y-Wing regardless of how great the engine stats are as far as yaw, roll, etc, it automatically changes the engine to stats of 80. for example:

1st. engine: Roll, Yaw, bank, etc were all in the stats of 180, after placing it in the Y-Wing it is now permanently 80.

2nd. engine:stats all around 600-300, placed in engine, now the stats are all 80!

every engine placed in the Y-Wing has been permanently reduced to garbage. wasting alot of money, and time finding the good parts. I hope this is a bug.

Not a bug. Doublecheck your stats.

Every engine has Pitch/Roll/Yaw ACCELERATION, and Pitch/Roll/Yaw MAXIMUM.
The first value is set by the chassis. In a tie interceptor they change to 400. When you pull the engine out, they stay at whatever they were changed to, until you put it in a new chassis.
Y-wing maximum accel value for maneuver is 80. So that's why you're seeing the change.

The MAXIMUM values should never change. If you have a 51.2 pitch/roll/yaw, and you install it in an interceptor, it will stay 51.2. If you put it in a Y-wing, it'll stay at 51.2.
The difference is how fast you get to that maximum turn-rate (so with an interceptor class, it's immediately-full-speed, and immediately-full-stop when you let go of the joystick. IN a bomber class, when you push the stick over it slowly starts to turn, accelerating until you're turning as fast as you can. Let go the stick, and you 'coast' further in the turn until the turn slows to a stop.
It's all a function of maneuver.

The other thing that changes is speed. The rated speedx10 is your full space speed, but only in an interceptor class. In an X-wing, it's roughly 5 rating lower (rating 60 engine = 550 space speed). In a bomber class, it's roughly ten lower (rating 60 engine = 500 space speed). In a Z-95 it's a small penalty, but I don't remember the exact number.

Not wrong lok is available becasue thier is alot of business on their the theme park is thier so theirs a reason. Its not a bug and never have been in beta it was told it was that way for a reason so get used to it. Use ur ship for more then free traveling between planets.

---

rofl I guess we could come up with a justification for every planet like that... It should be Dat not Lok because the Village is there. It should Dant because MO is the best place to find a Solo Group.... "It's Lok because there is a lot of businesses there" ROFLMAO

I guess you're the authority on everything that was ever said in Beta too?
