Thread: ARRRRGH! Kashyyyk sector just has way too much junk in it!

Nebulas, incessant lightning, 50 million unneccessary asteroids, and at least 12 do-nothing NPC civilian transports at the station at all times.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like trying to defend a Tier 1 civilian transport from 4 Tier 4 heavy fighters at 8-10 fps?

Well, don't bother experimenting, becuase I've done this mission enough times for 50 people to get their vaksai/xwing/tie, except I failed it every single time because I can't hit the broad side of a barn in Kashyyyk. It's just too freaking laggy.

Problems?
1. Adjusting graphics options other than brightness and contrast doesn't actually do anything in space.
2. Moving the mouse results in an uncentered crosshairs.
3. The targeting reticle does not display at the correct distance from the target.
4. There's just no reason to be spawning 4 Tier 4 anything's against a Tier 1 transport.
5. I hate re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-targeting the engines of spacecraft. Whoever put that into the game was just dumb.

You might be wondering why I don't get some help from other players. Well, I tried that, I talked to 22 people over the course of about an hour or so, and every single one was either non-responsive, came back with "sorry, I'm grinding", or "Sorry, I'm already helping someone else".

So, long story short: this has been one of the worst days of SWG ever.

A tip for that misson just keep disabling the engines of the ships, if you do no more will spawn until the first ones are destroyed.

They changed that I think. The ships spawn regardless of the existance of the previous ships. Most of the time, the second wave spawns, and I still have yet to even dent the armor on any of the first wave ships.

Join a guild or help others in space so you can call a favor when you find yourself in situations like this... These missions weren't very hard.

Galaxies, we feel for you. We hope that someday, you'll have a complete, functional game to play. Perhaps it's time to check out a few other games?
