Pretty sure 2700. Game shows no other evidence that distance exists in anything other than 100 meters.
And, I mean, I simplified my math for a not-mathy thread. Eff me, right?
I'm pretty sure that the game tracks ranges more definitively than units of 100m, but only displays your target's range in units of 100m. And I think that it rounds down, though I could be wrong. (meaning if you are actually at 581m, the game tells you that you are at 500m)

You guys got suckered into an argument with Highborne, who was in it merely to complain. Facts be damned...
-
Laser Cannon
Ion Missile
Tensor Field
Distortion
Snap Turn
Lightweight Armor
Damage Capacitor
Large Reactor
Dampening Sensors
I'd favor range sensors over dampening (you're hanging out with friends, right? Dampeners are for solo hunting) and anything other than the ion missile (depending on what you want the missile to do). But otherwise that is a solid build.

Though on the same component, the description of the item contradicts the tooltip. The description specifically says that it does not restore shields, but increases their max potential, whereas the tooltip says that it restores shield power.
-
I mean the buff over time effect (which, yes, is recharging shields). I get the first tick on activation, but no subsequent ticks every 2s after.
That happened on both a Clarion and a Rampart Mk4.
You are only seeing the "visual" effect of the ability. You indeed get a "buff" on your ship's buff bar and the shields regen as they are supposed to.

I have a question about the messages that flash up in TDM. I get the normal ones from both sides (pilot x was destroyed by pilot y.....pilot z self-destructed, etc.), and I get the green messages when one of my teammates grabs a power-up. What I don't get is a red message for when an opposing team pilot gets a power-up. I only see it in the chat window in the corner (which is very hard to monitor while flying).
Is this a bug or working as intended? I get the feeling from other posts that other people get the big red message. It sure would make it easier to adjust tactics if I knew who had what. I just want to know what it's supposed to do so I know if I should put in a bug report. Thanks.
That is to let you know who to avoid/kill (the damage overcharge) on the other team. Triple damage (bugged, supposed to be double) hits HARD and fast.

I think it is like a plasma railgun... half the damage up front, the rest as a DOT. Not sure how it works the shield piercing though.
-
Would cause too much spam.
A lot like the OP and his postings.
-
A gunship flying 100% defensively should be able to avoid being killed.
This explains a lot about how you think...
-
Or...
How about making cloth materials yield something more desirable than the garbage they make now?
In fact, how about some crafter love other than Cybertech (armorings, mods and ear pieces), Biochem (implants, med consumables), Artifice (hilts and enhancements), and Armstech (barrels). Synthweaving and Armormech are really left out in the cold. (MK-9 mod kits which SUCK to craft)

ok im a huge gsf fan.
15 matches so far not one pop for new map, whats going on bioware????
Do you HONESTLY expect to get a response from the development team with this post?!?
-
I am disappointed by the up of Thermite Torpedo.
I'm not, as they are interesting now...
-
I'm very excited to have a strike with a sensor component, actually. Mostly for range sensors. However, this is all predicated on sensors being useful- right now, sensors are pretty worthless on ANY ship.
I think I'm really gonna like the new ships. I am very interested in their support roles.
Range and Dampening sensors received a stealth balance. So did the appropriate crew members.

False, false, false, and also indicative of a lack of actually looking at the math.
Scout base shield is 1300. Large shield represents 260 shield points.
Scout shield regeneration is 65/s. That means in order to beat Large, Turbo has to give you an extra four seconds of regeneration you wouldn't have had otherwise. (And that extra time has to matter - if you'd have time to fully regenerate your shields anyway, it doesn't really matter that they fully regenerate slightly faster.) After getting hit once, even after 6s you've only had an extra 3.6s of regen from Turbo vs Large (i.e. it wasn't worth it yet).
If you get hit once every 3s, it takes ~20s of sustained fire at that hit right in order for Turbo to outperform Large (and you are probably dead in either case). If you get hit once every 2s, Turbo never outperforms Large.
It is a very narrow window of average hit frequencies that justifies Turbo, and under those hit frequencies you will probably DIE before you actually see the benefit.
Also it is a TOTAL benefit when your shields are GONE from attacks and saving you hull at this point with every shield point regenerated sooner. When dissecting one attack and figuring out the math, you are usually better off with large reactors, but in the actual game environment, turbo is very useful (and I would argue more useful the more "defensive" your ship build and piloting skills are).
Now as a point of math, turbo beats regen reactors in all but 1 situation.

we need more good looking blaster rifles, the only one i think passable is the one from the rakghoul event rifle. is there a blaster rifles that resembles an M16? or at least something that looks like this.

i really don dig current blaster rifle models, it has some of the most ridiculous looking gun point.
Better *sounding* blasters is at LEAST as important.
See my other suggestion about adding a sound effects slot to weapons and offer sound modules on the cartel market for a reasonable price.
-
I'm with the OP for an "I want this, because I can use it right now" or "I can't use this right now", option.
Or at least being able to change your mind after some other jackhole needs after you greed on a rep item.
-
If I know the name of an item I'm looking for in my bank or inventory, it should be easy to find. Right now, unless the item's icon is incredibly distinct among its rarity class, I have to examine each item individually to see if it's what I'm looking for. Then having found it, I still have to examine the rest of the items in the bank because there might be another stack of it somewhere else in the window.
The lack of an alphabetical sort is also incredibly annoying if I'm trying to organize partial sets of collection gear. Do I have all 4 boxes of Dramatic Extrovert armor? I don't know, let me slowly scan through this tab of 80 identical purple boxes.
This should not be a hard thing to implement, especially since the Sort By UI element is already a select box.
The sort function in the inventory is garbage (and I don't usually call anything garbage that could be useful, even if rarely).

We need a T-16 that we can bullseye whomprats from.
RP turrets would be fun...
-
yeah the Eradicator’s Warsuit and the mast ,Destroyer Armor Set was on sale for us at 4-6 in the morning....
so would be cool if we could get some answer if they will think about this in the future or run the sales longer so everyone gets a chance to buy the stuff thats on sale in the cartel market
For what server?
-
Next time it would be cool if you could have the deals run for maby 2 times or 24hrs so ppl fromEU dont have to sit and wait to 5-6 in the morning to be able to get the good stuff
The European servers are running them in the early morning?!?

Funny thing is they are different enough that they feel special. I was PISSED when I solo'd the 1st part with my assassin (yeah a lot of deaths, but I did it) only to find out that I HAD to have 4 players to click locks at the same time in the next one. Basically I spent several HOURS in the solo missions leading me across the galaxy to dig/recon all the things and the end missions required 4 people?!? Great end missions, TERRIBLE design making people team up for the end when they all solo'd the LONG prerequisites for them.
-
Say I want only a white/black dye (for ease of reading, we assume it drops from a pack we can buy now). Sure, I get something everytime I draw a pack, but those "somethings" are useless to me - because those "somethings" are not what I want. What I want is THAT particular dye and it is my right to calculate my chances, especially since we are talking about real money.
I AM willing to bet real money on the fact that they will NEVER publish their drop rates. This is about the part which you didn`t understand.
I highlighted the yellow portion, which said nothing about drop rates.

I don't think anyone in this thread has said that mines are used for anything but area denial.
The problem is that they're too good at it.
And why is it good tactics to attack a node with a scout or strike on it, or a gunship overlooking it, but if there's a bomber on it, all of a sudden it's "cockiness" to try to, you know, win the game?
Bombers are just flat out too good at area denial and position fortification for not enough skill investment.
Because that is what bombers are made for... if I said I was gonna dogfight a T2 scout in my gunship you'd look at me funny (and with good reason).
-
You do realize that one of our two gametypes REQUIRES us to sit and fight in a small area for extended periods of time, right? You can't cap from 6000m out.
So... you agree.. they are used for area denial. (and anyone attacking a fortified position solo is cocky at least)

Zharik has one, when we missed getting me the title by like 10 minutes.
