Thread: Post-Ace Content (again)
Making the POB ships useful with the Elite components is a smart step and I can only say good things about it, however it's only a small step.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for exactly, but it would be nice to get random missions or maybe some NPC (like an Old Man) come to see you after every 2.5mil prestige and send you to someone who will say "I have a tough mission for you, gather your squadron."
As my signature says, I am a 9x Master Pilot, and as a rough estimate I'd say I've destroyed over 150 Kessel corvettes (escort, gunboats, and corvette, all), and 75% of them I did solo, and most of those without even using Bomber Strike.
I'm currently one of those still bugged for the Royal Guard TIE Intercepter so I can't see how hard that mission is with the corvette, and I've destroyed the Rebel Space Station in Deep Space before it was bugged so long ago, and I can fly circles around it, literally, avoiding gun fire for the most part.
There was one weekend where the Kessel spawn was all fubar and there was 3 Rebel Corvettes at one time, and another spot where there was a HUGE battle going on between Rebel and Imperial forces, and that was fun. I was disappointed when it all went poofies.
Something I would love is increasingly more NPC spawns for your missions, like at 1mil Prestige you have to destroy 10 random fighters. At 2mil you get a mission for 15 random fighters. Keep going like that until you opt out because you are trying to fight 200 guys at once in Kessel and you are starting to crash the zone.
So when you are through with that for a while, you start to get bigger ones, like "destroy this POB with 5 escorts", then 10 escorts, then 15, then 2 POBs and 5, 10, 15 escorts, then 3. Then upgrade to gunboats (sucks if you're Rebel).
AT THE VERY LEAST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE increase the vette spawn time in Kessel to like 15mins. I love destroying those things!
(AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE _NO_ "escort this ship" missions...)I play on Radiant, where it seems like everybody is either Novice Pilot 0000 or Ace, so there's nobody to help do missions with (or there is and they get their guild to help them), and I love doing missions.
Ok ok, I beg of you, just make Kessel a battlezone like Deep Space. Throw up an extra 200 ships, mostly Rebel (it seems lacking of Rebel NPCs). And please make them random... all I see is A-Wings as it is. Yes they're the biggest challenge for most people, but c'mon.
Ok how about letting us repeat the missions to get to Ace but everything is Tier 5? I'd love to repeat the pilot trees but let me fly my own ship and in return, up the challenge (I don't want to blow up tier1s in my vette-buster). Nix on the reward parts, I don't need more (I already have 9 of each!)
Peace,

Great idea. How about the rewards being something like the prenerf inferno, haor chall, and stuff like you get on the Nym starmap quest?
I think it kinda sucks that those people who got JTL from the getgo and got the prenerf stuff have an advantage over people in other countries or just bought the game later. Luckily, I got the game early and got my prenerfs. But others should get the opportunity, if only to make PVP more challenging. I wouldn't mind getting more prenerfs myself just because I enjoy looting parts for REing.
