What kind of connection do you have\?

What times are you playing?

Are you smuggling music and videos off the internet while playing?

If you answered less than dsl to number 1, its probably your connection. To slow and your hit doesnt register and its pointless.

If you are playing peek times then you might be laggy, and it can affect you.

If you have to much downloading in the background or have your upload bandwidth taken up, you wont do anything.

Also, It happened to me the other day , bugged mission .

have all tier 1 boxes done, and currently have a Y-wing with all Mark-2 stuff. I have Mark 2 Seismic missles, and a Mark 2 Ion Cannon. I need to do my second tier missions for the lady in lok but I can't seem to get past the first one.

It's an escourt mission...but here's the problem: the enemies come, and I can attack them, but it takes extreemely long to kill just one...and I'm supposed to be able to take on 5 at a time to save this ship? By the time I'm done killing one, the ship is already dead and I fail the mission.

I aim directly in the middle of that green "recticle" that shows up in front of a ship, fire away, and still get completely random results. I've made SURE I've been hitting it, and looking at the "Shields" percentage in the upper right hand corner, and it doesn't go down at all sometimes! What is with this?

Also- I got a large ship cargo hold for my ship, installed it, but I can't seem to find out how to actually open it and put stuff in it...how do you do this?

Oh yes one more thing- I got an Astromech level 2 droid and put it in my ship, (I made sure to program all the commands prior to doing it) and got a driod interface too, but when I get into space, I don't get any astromech control commands under ctrl + a, any help??

for the first look at your armor piercing/shield piercing ratings, i forget which is which crafting but one gun can be almost .9 armor peircing but only .1 shield instead of a normal 50/50 split on armor/shields. if thats your problem load another gun thats got opposite piercing stats on the y since its a 2gun ship, otherwise it WILL take a long time to break through the shields.

Cargo holds are for mining only, ya cant carry anything like loot in em, also if you do mine red red dwarfs mining faq on how to do it first, but the hold can only be emptied on the ground, not in space.

last double check the droid actually loaded, sometimes it will forget its supposed to be onboard. especially if youve changed any commands after you loaded it.

hope that help ya some

I don't know what your financial situation is, but if you can afford one, a high mass Z-95 would much better suit your needs than a Y-wing. The high mass Z-95 is ~95k mass and still handles like your newb ship, but with better equipment. I used it to skip the YWings all together.

Cargo holds are for mining only. You can't 'put' anything in there yourself.

Ion cannons are high shield dmg, but low armor piercing... I used one of each ion cannon and regular blaster, once I got through to 3/2/2/2 - prior to that I just used a good blaster with shield effectiveness subcomponent. Ask your local shipwright to custom build one for you... they shouldn't charge any more than they would for the regular one you bought.

Keep the faith... it gets better.

Uh, why the heck would I put a different gun in my Y-wing if I can only use 1? I would need another person to use the other, correct?

if ya carry a passenger they get to use it, otherwise you get both guns tracking on the same target with the y-wing...
