Thanks for the help guys, I went with the R7,along with a new PSU and everything was running smoothly until the latest patch.

My trusty asus 4870 has finally given up the ghost,so I'm looking at buying a new graphics card and I need to replace it. I'm working with a limited budget,but don't need to run games in ultra graphics. Ideally looking at around the £100 mark I see a few options. Powercolor R7 260x is probably the entry point card I'm looking at,with the R9 270x being the other choice if I can spare the cash. Hopefully someone can give me some useful advice,either about these cards or suitable alternatives. Many thanks for any responses I get here

If you're based in the UK,I've heard great things about Dino PC's,and I see they've started doing gaming laptops https://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/Pegasus-17-3-GTX-860M-Laptop-156p2147.htm looks to be something akin to what you're looking for,as a starting point anyway

You sir,win. Bravo

I primarily play a gunship,and I'd be more than happy to not be able to sit at the capital ships. In fact,nine times out of ten I'm using barrel roll and thrusters to get into a decent position to help my team. Another solution would be that players parking at the ships would be marked as non-contributing is they stay in the radius for more then ten seconds,coupled with the debuff you proposed

Turn them back on,but without them contributing to the kill counter for scores? Provides a safe spawning point without being an incentive to hide there whilst the capital ships do all your work

i've only came up against him as Top,and every time I see his name listed across from mine,I think to myself "this is gonna hurt" Not that i back down from the fight,if anything it makes me keep an eye out for him. Sure,he vapes me more often than not,but i get him more than once a match. I like to think facing pilots like him helps me improve as a gsf pilot

for The Red Eclipse,I'd like to nominate Top'Gun from the imperial side,since I notice Jovi'juan and Quickblast are already listed. Every time I come up against him,I know I'm in for a fight

I'll probably try and level my healer from 30 upwards

well...he IS called Malreyn...

I've been using it on my smuggler since i got it. First group in the Esseles,I hit it on the sith at the end,and my group were in stitches that I not only badmouthed him in the conversation before the fight,but then nutshotted him to death
