They are extremely annoying even if not as deadly as some other missiles so I'm sure people would cry nerf if they were easier to land. Having said that I could go for a slight damage boost as a reward for the difficulty of landing one. As it stands hydro spanner essentially mitigates the damage the probe does on its own.
My kill rate when I land a sabo probe (mastered probe) is around 80% on my Sting. The 20% is made up of the following general scenarios:
I am being shot at by a few of the sabo victim's team mates.
I stupidly ran out of blaster power before the sabo probe landed.
My Targeting Telemetry is on CD.
I Koiogran Turn into something unforgiving when I whip around to kill the target with my quads.
When I fly Imperial with a bunch of noobies vs a lot of vets, I still usually end up with a positive K/D ratio. I can credit the sabo probe with this a LOT of the time.

Ok, how about you "spawn in the exhaustion zone, but you are immune (to exhaustion zone damage) for 30 seconds or until you fire your guns"?
-
If you manage to land a sabo probe on someone you could have killed them all regular-like. Decent players don't get hit by sabo.
1 on 1, decent players don't get hit by a sabotage probe... good thing GSF is 8 v 8 or 12 v 12 then!

To everyone out there that wants to ask questions, ask all you can! Ignore the trolls and haters and eventually you will find someone willing to help you, even enemies!
I fly both sides: (Pub - Gerrik and Brèn / Imp - Jordinn) so if you fly on The Ebon Hawk, find me and I will be happy to point you in the right direction to learn GSF.

...I don't get mentioned! This makes me kinda sad!
I know how you feel...

Since the 2.6 update a bug has occurred with the free look options. When you free look, all the enemy/Friendly name tags disappear making spotting with free look pointless to use.
So if you don't know the name of the pilot shooting at you, it is "pointless to use"?!?
Are you frigging SlowDuck?

Was the biggest waste of requisition I've ever spent. I decided to try it because I faced a scout who somehow manage to get it on me constantly in my Sting. Not sure how, but he did. I buy it all the way to tier 5 and it's the longest cast time ever. It's useless. Unless someone is sitting perfectly still, or you catch them off-guard you can't get it off. Please give it a shorter cooldown.
I have a mastered sabo probe on my Imp pilot... trust me, it is the ONLY reason I get kills some matches...
-
Yup, me too. I took it so I could one shot defense turrets with my bursts
Dances with noobs flies a Blackbolt, so your comment is null/void. (no burst laser cannons)

I am currently facing 2 guys in this match who are casting it instantly. I can't get away from them or break free from it. I get Probed, and then 1 shotted. They're BOTH in Stings.
How can you type and fly AT THE SAME TIME?!?! No WONDER it seems instant, you're bouncing between windows!
-
I hate to say this, but they really need to figure out how to fix the match making in GSF. I have been in maybe one close balanced match. the matches i have won and the ones I have lost have all been by extremely large margins. its ridiculous and screams poor match-ups. if this keeps up it could end up being one of the least loved parts of this game. the worst part is that I find myself sitting through crappy matches almost like a chore so I can get my daily and weekly exp from it. .
So what do you do if 8 experienced, skilled pilots on the "X" side , queue and 8 inexperienced noobs queue on the "Y" side? THIS is what's happening!
-
Here is what you do: Do not follow them, and actually get your team to move away, forcing the other team to go after you if they want to get you!
Can you *actually* get your team to do this?!? Most people don't understand more than tab = next kill...

3) what happens if the bomber is destroyed but the drone isn't? If it can't be free standing that means you loose drones as soon as the bomber is destroyed. Which could be a problem since a bomber couldn't set up a safe repair zone assured that, even if they die, their drones will at least help their teammates until they finish the respawn.
When a bomber is destroyed, all of their mines/drones blow up, period.
-
Once the bombers showed up, I regularly see them at the end of a match with 30-40 assists, something that -never- happened pre-2.6 and still doesnt happen for any other ship class.
She-frigging-nan-igans
Oh yeah... I THOUGHT YOU QUIT?!??!?!?!??!?!

The tooltip reads 437-437-437 dps vs hull and shields at all ranges, yet in game damage is not accurate.
This is clearly bugged or a pointless nerf to the class that needs its burst damage to get in and out quickly vs gunships/bombers/turrets etc.
Hopefully just bugged, we dont need any more stupid in the world. Stupid is why we cant have nice things.
That stands for "damage per second", and being that it shoots faster than 1 shot a second, that is why the numbers are lower than 437.

This is a joke thread... he even admitted it a while back.

I have been reading The Chronicles of Narnia since before you were born. So please don't lecture me on the propriety of using C.S. Lewis quotes. Thanks.
So how old do you think I am? Because unless you are the oldest person on the planet currently, I may in fact be older than you...
Basic Logic: If one can attain X with Y, it does not mean that attaining X with Z negates the fact that one can attain X with Y.Problem is, X doesn't equal WIN, but you seem to think it does.
Bottom line: I scored more (kills/achievements/assists/healing/fun) IN ONE MATCH with 20 bucks spent in the CM on the OP bomber than 2 months of frustrating GSF play. You tell me how to define that.Man, I really hate it when people respond the way I am about to, so I guess I hate myself a little for this, but:
Maybe you just suck on anything but a bomber? That's how you define 2 months of not able to get any of those achievements.
The 4 dogfighter achievements that you posted as not able to get in 2 months are all the same, damage dealt in 1 match, 20k, 25k, 30k, 40k. So you NEVER have gotten a single match with 20k damage before?!? Maybe you ARE the oldest person on the planet. Untouchable is a kill streak of a whopping THREE!!!! OMG you are now a WINNER! Good thing you paid all that $$ to be so powerful!
I used hydro spanner extensively since launch. Yet I did not get the Technician/Expert Technician achievement until 4 Feb. Hrmmm, maybe it didn't exist until then?!?
(note to anyone else... please excuse my outburst. I just hate trolls that troll for trolling's sake.)
-
Gerrik is your pub, right? All skill, baby.
One of my 2 pubs... so when did this happen? When we were tooling around vs the noobies and I challenged some fellow pilots to try only "dogfighting with bombers" in a DM? Hehe
-
I haven't had this problem despite spending an entire match circling a captured node and dropping drones.
Defense counts as participating.

Don't worry cuz, I STILL have the Intro to GSF mission on the PVP terminal. I logged in, que'd up tried to make heads or tails of the customization, finally went into combat, played exactly 3-4 minutes and quit the WZ taking my sacred oath that I would never touch this piece of crap again in my life. I know that there's a handful of people that like GSF but it saddens me that BW is focusing their energy on it instead on content people want. Don't sweat it bro if you don't like it.
I find it quite ironic that you admit that you played for 3-4 minutes... yet here you are... on the Starfighter Forums... You probably spent more than 3-4 minutes looking for a way to troll people who may have shot you out of the sky...
-
I've beaten you (Ar'mond/Mae'thon). Do I win GSF?
How much $ did it cost you? ;P
-
Just give the the option to take a group into a map, assign teams as I want to and no requisition/achievements. I'll do a flight school for my Guildies.

When you add in paying CC's to convert ship to fleet at a 1:1 ratio,sorry bud...its pay to win.
No "bud"... it is pay to level faster on one ship at the detriment of the other(s).
I tell you what... come to The Ebon Hawk, pay all you want... and beat me. Until that happens... you have not won anything.

"Why don't they teach logic at these schools?"
―Digory Kirke, in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Just because one can NOT pay CM to get a bomber, does not make what I said untrue.
Rather than doing the work of obtaining 5000 fleet req, I used a credit card to gain a massive advantage in game play, thus PAYING to WIN.
1. Insulting people based on a post which was in response to your "knee-jerk reaction" post when they are stating facts in response to your rant? Bad idea and really look in the mirror for your logic comment. (see what I did there? mirror?)
2. If you read the rebuttals to your initial post, they are indeed saying that your initial statement was untrue.
3. Paying CC is for cosmetic reasons, a +10% boost to requisition earned, or to bypass the 5k fleet requisition initial investment (that a LOT of people had stockpiled and waiting)
4. That is pay to level slightly faster... not pay to win. Funny you did not mention that subscribers get 50% MORE REQUISITION in your rant. You only focused on the CC option to buy a ship... with zero upgrades...

Missile restock powerup. Yes please.
It's called a weapon recharge power up... Yes they restock ammo

It takes 15 second if you have tier 1 upgrade, 20 if you do not. The CD is for after a mine deployment not before one.
But for a slow garbage hauler like a bomber, it is an eternity!
