Eh, not asking much, but how about this?


The Jedi starfighter is an obsolete starfighter where the A-wing is an advanced fighter barely past prototype stage at this point. So, if that fighter is to exist it should only have 1 gun and no missles nore the ability to equip armor.


All other specs could remain the same this way...except mass, it needs to be lowered to 60K


Heavy Z-95, Heavy TIE, Heavy hut fighter. Yeah, there alright. But, reduce there manuverability by 30% atleast on all stats. They are heavy ships with greater inertia therefore should suffer a penalty.


Y-8 outmanuvers my B-wing!?!?! OK, lower the Y-8's YPR by 10% and improve the B-wing by lets say 25%. This would make the Y feel more like a mining vessel and the B would become much more fun to use.


Tractor beems go around 850 meters?!?!


So, make all Master level blaster type weapons have a rangeof atleast 750meters then with lower weapons hitting 700 meters. Make missle locks take hold at 850 meters. Of course improve NPC craft to the same levels.


This would improve the feel of space combat A LOT because you could engage in fights at enough range to where the everlasting loops may never happen. And, missles/countermeasures would become much more important to the game.


I love space, but changes LIKE these could add a lot to the feel and fun of the game.

Spot the Imperial pilot with the lack of common sense andskills to use the superior manouverability of some imperial ships to counteract the A-wing and now he has his unbalanced I WIN button he is loath to lose it even if it destroys PvP in space in the meantime.


Oh , and kudos on your skillful rebuttal of his ideas!

I see you forgot to include the heavy x-wing in your rant. I'm sure it was an /honest/ mistake...

All of this has been discussed in-depth with the Pilot coorespondent in the "New Ship Stats" thread... do we really need a bazillion more threads going over the same arguement?

There is no death, there is immortality.
There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side. I am the Heart of Darkness.
I know no fear, but rather I instil it in my enemies. I am the destroyer of worlds.
I know the power of the Dark Side. I am the fire of hate.

We are all alpha testers at the moment mate - the game doesnt hit beta until they get SWG total experience on the shelves.


HEHE, I used the rollback of chimaera server as an example in one of my exams the other day on a question on data security and adequate countermeasures for it - needless to say it was in the "example of how NOT to do things" bit! I also used the CU as an example in a business essay of, once again, how not to do things

No, no, no, no, no. You got your conspiracy theories all wrong. This entire game is one big gigantic beta for SWG 2. Hopefully by the time that rolls around they'll have fired the horrible dev team and ironed out all of these reidculous bugs.

Acutally, he flies an oppressor without any missle tubes in it. I found that out last night, also, by concidence, last night was his first PvP fight. He killed me once because i got stupidly fixated on finding my aiming point because of crappy arse netcode. Having gaven him a taste of victory, i promply went back and smacked him one

I told him to put some missles in that ship, he said that would be cheap.

I think you owe him an apology.

For what?


No offence but if he had his first PvP fight last night AND he doesnt know that using the missiles on the Oppressor is nto cheap but the whole point of taking an Opp into DS, then he owes the original poster he flamed an apologyfor flaming a guy who understands about ships and space combat, whilst he does not understand! Perhaps he should try learning about the subject matter first! I know i did when i first started flying and it worked for me and hundreds of others - you can expect everything to be handed to you on a plate!


Oh I apologise for stating he is a JSF flier if he isnt, though I dare say he now uses or will use it when he obtains it! However, if he isnt a JSF flier he has even less reason to flame a guy about something when he isnt cognisant of the facts fo the situation.

An accusation.

>> now he has his unbalanced I WIN button he is loath to lose it even if it destroys PvP in space in the meantime

My point was he doesnt use an I win button. I dont normaly open my yap in this fashion, but i know the guy.

And for his first night in PvP, he was pretty damn good, and was very intelligent. Even thoug he didnt have missles, he used the /launchmissle command a couple times to make me think he did.
