They should really move the cert from master privateer to master smuggler.

But there's already a thread on it in the JtL Discussion forum. Views both ways. I'll simply see what it's like when I get there and maybe we'll see.








Not fussed so much the YT is in the masters box,whats got my back up is the forced pvp people will have to endure to get the masters box....

Try it again as it stands now... you obviously made it past Tier 3 before the NPC missles spammers started stopping and turretting you. There is NOTHING you can do save having somebody higher level shields and armor help. I'm serious... I've helped privateers in their T3 missions with my Rebel 4444 pilot with 2900 point front shields, 1900 back. I've had waves take out my front shields in one pass... that's nearing gunboat difficulty there. At least with Rebel pilot you can adjust the shields, use /eshields to save you in a bind, etc. Privateer is gimped on specials until you get the /iffscramble, which is at xx3x.


I'm sticking by my guns... warning everybody to stay away from privateer unless you like being gimped until Tier 4. Basicly like being a pistoleer, except you don't have buffs or composite to save your hide until then. I dropped the privateer skills last night on that char and went to a different Rebel trainer than what I use on my other character. Still seems much easier to me.

I thought the NGE couldn't be any worse than the CU, but I was wrong.

Precisely what I mean, Jacob. That's why put the things in bold and why I meantioned that the Bantha poodoo would get too deep.


Because you're going to find idiots in Deep Space and Kessel blowing people up that are doing the Master's mission just so they can't complete it. And even if the person the mission manages to defend themselves and destroy the griefer, said griefer can still come back after repairs and reload and try again and again until they succeed. People on the Master's mission can't repair or reload their missiles or countermeasures and it takes around 3 and a half hours of solid play to complete...during that time if you lose connection, get destroyed, or leave the zonethen the mission fails.


Master/Ace Pilots are going to be the Jedi of Jump to Lightspeed.

Yep all too true and add to that the fact they said there would never be forced pvp in this game.


Regarding the npc missile spamming,didnt they say this would be fixed as it was unbalanced? I will of couse only believe that when i see it....
