Pilot Archive

Yeah, I just went to DS for the first time ever yesterday and I was very supprised to see no Imperial Corvettes flying in huge "parades" with escorting gunboats and fighters. It would be REALLY cool to see to Vettes fighting!!!

nope, this isnt about PvP.

What annoys me is that there are loads of rebel corvettes in Deepspace. Although it is fun to watch the Imp NPCs attack and damage a reb corv then come in all guns blasting to save, making your own little SW battle, where are the IMPERIAL corvettes. I want to see rebs attacking Imp corvs and be able to take a run against them with the NPCs.

One motionless Impstar Deuce isnt much of a threat (why do we need to kill its engines if it doesnt move anyway!).

Honestly i think it all has to do with faction balance on the big picture.

See, rebels dont need DS at all to FP grind.
Rebels have a couple large static teri 4 spawns in Endor, a teir 4 destroy mission that spawns ties in yavin 4, Kessel and DS to FP grind. Not to mention various teir 3 static spawns all over the galaxy.

Imperials primarly have kessle and DS for FP grinding. Theres only 1 static teir 4 spawns that im aware of (also in endor), and no teir 4 destroy mission that spawns rebel ships of any kind. So for the most part, imperials need DS alot more then rebels do. Its like they're funneled there out of neccessity. So on that note, its good that most of the spawns in DS are rebel.

Personally, I'd like to see the Vettes taken out altogether and replaced with more worthwhile targets.

Why?

Vettes are large objects - put enough in one area, it's another excuse for lag in DS.

The ISD going apesh*t? Yeah, that's because Vettes pass too close to them and the fighter escorts aggro the ISD.

Vettes never loot anything besides a heftier credit chip than normal. They award about as much FP as a Nova does, and a Nova takes a tenth (or less) of the time to kill.

Pretty much the only upside to DS is the ability for a guy on his Imperial master mission hopping in an MP/POB and taking a crippled one out when Kessel is barren. That's about it.

It'd be NICE if Vettes guaranteed an L10 loot or something...but I don't see THAT happening...so why not just take them out altogether.

i want Imp ones - why, they are fun and there is precious little of that about at the mo!

They are tougher than the ISD (they move) and are fun to take down, plus they would provide more cover to those Imp players in DS who run at the sight of me. One guy flew into a formation of 3 GBs and a TIE squadron and i just gave a little whoop and flew right in after him!
