I believe you answered your own question with "4." Have you encountered anything different with other pvp modes?

I can't measure it effectively, but empire is clearly gimped in trying to reach point C first in either map. The overhead map makes it look clearly closer to Republic space, and it certainly feels that was having to fly around the medium-sized crap in the way.

They would just not apply damage to others with collision and only with yourself if that were the case. It's a good way to attack turrets as a scout though, use a crew defense boost and just plow through it guns blazing. I can clear a 3 turret satellite on my own without dying as a scout if there's no defenders, sometimes even with defenders

If you were a gunship I guess you'd have a reason to cry, but as a scout and considering you get a 5 second warning of two different sounds letting you know it's coming there is zero excuse to not press 3 or move behind some scenery with spacebar. I guess the summary to take away would be "git gud."

It is technically working as intended. They just haven't officially recognized 'room for improvement.'

Mods are awake, all the GS threads are getting moved to the sub-forum for it.

Depends on your personal history, Diablo 2 had skills descending in their trees, Marvel Heroes does it too. I think the small amount of upgrades helped tie that together in my mind. It's definitely odd when within the same game the personal character talent trees ascend.

I've asked, Comcast won't block channels either. I tried really hard to get Lifetime to not air on my TV.

To trick one into revealing "their true colors" on an internet forum is the life's work of all great journalists of our era.

I know you're trying to advertise your channel, but do you need to self-bump this early in the morning when you weren't even being pushed off the first page?

It's going to be confusing having people like you changing their avatars to ships now

I think the OP is complaining about the email that went out giving some people an additional 30 days for subbing now, and he wants to trade his GS access for the other perk. Which won't happen, but I can understand the penny-pinching behind it.

if we take that few dozen, from one faction, and double it to account for the other, and times it by the number of servers, this could be HUNDREDS of new subscribers! Maybe even THOUSANDS! Lukewarm reception in an industry measured by millions.

You should probably not play the Battlefield series of games, or Dota/League of Legends either. You would be very frustrated.

You couldn't post this in the original thread and had to make another?

Considering how short-range the control aura is on satellites, the fact that you still get points per satellite when they're contested but still in your color, and the fact that killing a scout is meaningless when they can burst back to contesting in 10 seconds, I'd say objectives matter more than kills. Damage dealt is the next important stat; I'd rather take someone to orange or red hull life to discourage them from attacking turrets than kill them outright in some situations. Then they fly around trying to fight off objectives and waste time instead of doing damge and respawning to full.

It goes up and down depending on the expac lifecycle. Right now, the 5 mans are pretty out-of-date but you still can't queue as a tank with a warlock or hunter officially. Sometimes you'll see a demonology in heroic raid gear steamroll thru for the valor, and if it doesnt wipe the group, nobody complains. Challenge modes & achievements are still tweaked tightly though.

if you can help it, save up a lot of ship Req so you don't waste a bunch of CC on transferring it into fleet Req multiple times. Just do it once for whatever big purchase you're trying to do.

This isn't a valid counterpoint. Alts don't "help blast thru progression," it's more of a convenience issue that you have to be logged into your GS main to make any progress, which may not be the character you want to be on while waiting for a raid to form, crafting, etc.

Not much, most speed upgrades don't go over 8-10% of your starting speed. It's largely ship-based. The turn speed is much more noticable in upgrades however. Actually gunships and strikes can 1-shot other ships with the right missiles or snipes, and the right primary on your six can kill you in 3 seconds or less, especially if shields aren't rear-reinforced.

hard to believe this is still being asked

good riddance, i am so sick of looking at that fat hutt face & the generic girl with toy gun, thank you for reminding me LMAO I can't believe that's not wordfiltered

Every class is a ranger with companions, so you can play just about anything that interests you. You'll always have a pet for support.

I've never seen this on any game that allows free characters to post personally.

Quotable, I just hope people take it seriously in the opposite context when someone has a criticism and they are blankly accused of trolling. If you play strike or gunship first, the slowness is really apparent. I definitely recommend Scout once people get used to the controls.
