Money hard to come by? Don't you all have JTL? lol
Ummm...
JTL sucks.
Ok sure it can be fun for a while but as a space combat sim, it is the worst I have ever experienced... Can't even target anything because everything out there including your own ship acts like a damned Bubble Bee on thats had waaay too much Caffinated Coffee.
Everything jumps around... I have an enemy ship in my cross hairs and I pull my trigger to shot it and BAM! Suddenly it jumps and is in a completely different spot.. and I miss... I feel like I'm in that recent Battle Star Galactica Episode where they capture a partially disabled Cylon Fighter.... its Jump Engine was malfunctioning and it kept jumping about the sector at random. One moment its in front of them, then suddenly its behind them, then off to the side, then above... etc.... jump, jump ,jump...
I can't possibly imagine what it must be like in PvP Space with a dozen or more all crowded around fighting each other... everyone jumping from one spot to another .. can't shot a damned thing unless one flies in a straight line.
JTL may be fun for a bit, but in truth it is the worst Space Combat Sim ever... Half my friends can't even use it because of the lag thats so bad... I'v been trying to teach one to be a turret gunner in a MPS because I intend to get a Krayt Gunship someday... but when that Gunner goes LD just from passing a nebulae or asteroid... or just goes LD every minute or so while in space?
JTL is not an Expansion for the average PC user out there, and thats thats why most people prefer the ground based game, their PC systems simply can not handle the demands of JTL.
