I'm really getting tired of people complaining about this non-contributing timer. About all I do in game is GSF. I check my stats at the end of every match and it shows that I was contributing for the entire time. It doesn't matter if I am in a bomber, gunship, strike fighter or my scout. If you are getting the message that you are not contributing, that means you are doing something wrong and are probably a waste of space for your team.

This one I will commend. Looks like it was a well fought battle on both sides. Need to see more of these.

Anyone can create channels for others to join. Here are the commands you can use: /cjoin [channelname] - Join an already made channel & will create the channel if it doesn't exist /cinvite [channelname] [player] - Invite someone to the custom channel

I went ahead and created a channel by the same name for the republic. So, we have it too.

I wish. This is something that should have been allowed from day 1. It shouldn't be that hard for bioware to allow cross faction chat in private chat channels. Even give the owner of the channel ability to block the opposite faction from joining. Give us the options.

Just a quick note. The channel will be separate on the Imp & Republic sides. We will not be able to communicate with the other faction through the channel.

A couple of things are needed to solve this. 1. Cross server matches. Supposedly this is being worked on for ground pvp, no reason it won't apply to GSF also. It would give a larger population to pull from. 2. Matchmaking. With the larger population in the matches matchmaking could actually be used. 3. This is more of a personal choice. Without a ranked type queue, remove any group queuing. This would allow the match making to mix the teams up for better balance.

As someone that has been on both the receiving and giving side of this sort of beat down, I honestly think that premades need to be removed from GSF. The problem isn't so much the single beating, it's when you get stuck against the same premade over and over again. It removes any fun from the match. The only thing this accomplishes is to push people away from wanting to play GSF leading to AFKers & fewer people queuing.

With the upcoming official release of GSF, It would be really nice to see the combat log enabled for it. This would really help refute the claims of hacking & 1 shot kills from scouts. You would be able to actually see where you are getting shot at from 3+ people instead of just the 1 that got the kill shot.

No cool down & fast lock on time, hmmmm...what could that be? Let's look at my lowbie... Cluster Missiles Lock on time = 1.3 sec. with a reload time of 2.8 seconds. Nope, that can't be it. How about... Rocket Pods Lockon time = 0 sec. & no reload time. Bingo!

Attack them from a different direction, then you will avoid their afk macro just firing into space like that. You coming at them from head on must be how they are getting the 1-2% hit that they are managing.

Sorry OP, nothing like what your asking for needs to be done. Just to see what the people's complaints were, I started a brand new character, level 1 with only the default crew & a non-upgraded ship. I was 2nd in damage with the most objective points for my team. The balance in this is remarkably good compared to the ground game. The difference is that GSF is truly a skill based game. It is not a skill that you are born with, it is a skill that you practice and get better at. Sitting and hiding may get your daily done, but requisition is rewarded based on the number of medals that you earn. If you try to help your team you will get more medals which gives more requisition helping you upgrade your ship faster. It will also give you much needed experience that will help you get better more than the upgraded ship will.

Is that what we are calling it? Actually, I do love killing you if that counts. Just a pain when I end up with what feels like your whole team chasing me.

No need to wait for the guild. I would prefer to see you without them for once anyway.

No, new players are not shut out. I started a brand new toon, level 1, loaded in and was towards the top of all of the stats. However, unlike the OP I want them to ask questions. I might not answer until the battle is over, but I am more than willing to sacrifice 1 battle to help someone learn this new aspect of the game. Sooner they learn it, the sooner they enjoy it, the longer they stay and helping them get better means I win more in the future.

I don't mind seeing Shock. It's when he has Toe & Shadowfist in there supporting him. Any one of them I like seeing as a challenge. But, sadly get them all together & most of the time it's a blowout. This is why I was glad to see this post. We republic need to get together and work together to combat this imperial scourge.

They are good, but I have been frustrated with the republic players that have been buying into the rumor of their cheating. I did like the one about Shock having missles on his gunship though.

I'm almost always happy to group up. Contact me in game on Hýdra & I'll bring my Flashfire along.

This is why I really wish GSF combat was logged through the combat log. It would let us see what damage was actually done to us, were we really one shot, or had we previously taken damage and then someone else comes in and just finishes us off with one shot.

ummm.... no.

You still have to play the game to ear the req in the first place. This is just used for those that earn req on ships that they don't want to upgrade yet. Now, if you could buy req that you hadn't earned, that would be pay to win. What we have here is not. edit: btw, how does this belong in the suggestion box?

Some people have friends in both factions and enjoy being able to play competitively with both. Personally, I have 17 toons. Trust me, they aren't all 1 faction. I will, and I do play both sides.

It's very simple. People don't pay attention. The average player only sees what is in front of them. This will be the scouts and strike fighters that are within 5-6k of the sat. The gunship that is just inside their 15k range of the sat, sitting next to an asteroid goes unseen, doesn't get attacked, doesn't die and is allowed to sit there and take pot shots that give them the kills and damage numbers.

This is what happens when they don't do the weekly maintenance. Servers need to be rebooted at least once a week.

And that also says that season 1 of pvp ranked & web leader boards were coming Oct. 29. As this has been pushed back, it seems to be valid to question as to if the other items mentioned were still on schedule. and yes, we know it is all "subject to change" I have to agree with the other poster, so how about that Rakgoul event?
