[I'm leaving...]

Can I have your... awwwww

 

Good luck out there, Christmas shopping has some mean boss mechanics.

[As a gunship player the plasma cannon seems a bit... strong....]

Would be fun if that gun did stuff like take its power from the shield or engine pools, so you'd still have a really powerful gun, but you'd end up hovering in your sniper position with your pants down

[As a gunship player the plasma cannon seems a bit... strong....]

So you already mentioned the bomber, which may change the overall balance quite a bit.

 

But yes, the plasma rail is pretty damn ugly. I'd like to see a tradeoff on it, like reduced range or reduced hull damage from the DoT; keeping shield damage up might be interesting though.

[[Power pools]: why do we switch them?]

I rarely ever use F2

 

In my experience you can dance around a satellite pretty much forever with boosted shields unless half an armada is going for you. It's a huge boost to survivability as long as you can frequently break line of sight to avoid gunships and missiles, and a valuable tool for the last Strike Fighter to try and hold the fort until reinforcements arrive.

@Laurreth:"... aber mit der aktuellen Steuerung würde man von Maus-Spielern abgemetzelt"

Glaub ich nicht, das klappt bei anderen Spielen auch vernünftig ... also warum nicht auch hier?! Alles eine Frage der Programmierung!!! Bei einigen Games ist sogar die Joystick Steuerung im Vorteil ...

 

Bei anderen Spielen (ich denke mal an War Thunder) schießt man auch dahin, wo das Fluggerät hinzeigt, in SWOR schießt man aber dahin wo der Mauszeiger ist, und selbst in WT ist man mit Maus und Tastatur so stark im Vorteil, dass in den Arcade-Gefechten niemand ernsthaft den Stick benutzt, auch wenn das Spiel ausdrücklich HOTAS unterstützt.

 

Die Situation ist ähnlich wie bei diversen Versuchen, FPS-Spiele zwischen Konsolen und PC zu vernetzen, wobei die Konsolenspieler nach dem ersten Match gewöhnlich weinend den Raum verlassen.

 

IMO müsste Bioware die Steuerung für alle komplett umkrempeln, um Sticks auch nur entfernt wettbewerbsfähig zu machen.

[How do you open up the wings on the Imperial Scout]

It was mentioned in the live stream as being "not feasible with the current tech", and IIRC they also mentioned it's on the list of things to do at some point. So I wouldn't hold my breath.

[[Power pools]: why do we switch them?]

You deal more damage when routing energy to the weapons, shields "overcharge" a bit, and I guess it also speeds you up a notch although I'm not sure about that.

[Joystick Unterstützung]

Ich hätte auch gerne mal wieder 'nen Weltraumshooter mit Knüppelsteuerung und Cockpit-Sicht, aber mit der aktuellen Steuerung würde man von Maus-Spielern abgemetzelt. Das fängt schon damit an, dass man mit dem Stick richtig krasses Auto-Aim bräuchte (und das ist für Konsolen-Lowbobs) um auch nur ansatzweise in die Nähe der "klick auf den Vorhaltepunkt" Spielmechanik zu kommen.

[Life Day gear recycled from last year?! LAZY]

And i'm expecting a lot of replies which say "special snowflake" obviously those people have never experienced what it's like to be unique before and would prefer to be boring and unoriginal.

 

It's a bit irritating that, by now, you're the odd one out in quest ot social gear

[Better ship type indicators in GSF "respawn screen"]

Right now, it's relatively hard to see the team composition on the respawn screen at a glance (do we need more scouts, gunships, …?), and that's with only 7 ships of 3 types. In early February, we're looking at 24 ships from 4 types, at which point it will be utterly impossible to quickly grasp what type of ship everyone is flying.

 

TL;DR: Please add easily recognisable symbols, possibly colour-coded, to the team list indicating each ship's type.

[Neue Orte?]

Zur Zeit findet ja sowieso erstmal ein erweiterter Betatest statt, damit Bioware auch Statistik von Live-Servern bekommt, um das Karten-Design, die Balance und andere Aspekte besser in den Griff zu bekommen. Es hätte ja kaum Sinn gemacht, gleich zu Beginn 5 Maps ins Spiel zu schmeißen, nur damit dann nach 2 Wochen feststeht, dass das sowieso alles falsch ist und nicht funktioniert

[Rocks completely OP, Also killstealers, need nerfs BAD!]

Voted 5: Excellent, this is a huge issue and needs to be addressed ASAP! They don't respect evasion bonus from maneuvers either!

[What's the best way to get out of the circling pattern when dog-fighting?]

The best way to get out is to have someone pick your opponent apart from a distance.

[BG startet nicht und wird als Niederlage gewertet!!]

Jup hab dazu nen bösen Thread im Englischen aufgemacht da es meine Stats versaut hat.....

 

[Maintenance: December 10th, 2013]

I have to say, thats the biggest dissapointment ive ever read in patch notes so far.. No gree, no cartel stuff, no nothing? Not even a sale of the shipment two hypercrate thats about to go out?

 

It's a fix-up (a.k.a. "oh*****iii-patch" (interesting blocker there, buttbuttin style)) as indicated by the "a", regular patches involving actual content are usually on a 2-week rotation.

 

And yes, please fix the sound issue on XP. While it is a good chance to guide people towards the light and to protect them from going down along with the entire Asian banking system, it is also tedious to have guildmates getting pummeled with missiles without knowing what's happening.

[Kampfschiffe sind...]

Drei Kampfschiffe verteilt auf der Map und jeder jeweils einen Scout der neben denen herschwebt und aufpasst, nur mit viel Risiko und Timing konnte ich dort mal einen wegholen.

 

Wobei halt gleich mal die Hälfte vom Team als Sniper/Spotter rumhängt, ohne viel zur Produktivität beizutragen. Die umbauten Ziele sind dann fürs andere Team gleich mal Futter. Der Villalobos hat im Stream einen schön dynamischen Stil für Gunships gezeigt, der mE wesentlich zielführender ist.

[Seltsam? wieso bloß 2 schiffe?]

Oder mit Jagdbomber nebst Protonentorpedos. Auf 10km Gunships wegrennen lassen ist cool

[Flügel aufklappen?]

Im Twitch-Stream wurde erwähnt, dass das aktuell nicht funktioniert, und auf dem großen "machen wir irgendwann"-Stapel liegt.

[Kampfschiffe sind...]

Ein Wort: Protonentorpedos

[boy do i feel sorry for the preferred and f2pers...]

you guys are going to stand no chance when you finally get in. it's gonna be like hitting lvl cap and going into a wz vs a team of fully auged min/maxed players using vent... not fun. at all.

 

I've seen the codecs Vent uses (seriously, people still pay for that stuff?), the solo f2ps will be good

 

The equipment paths are also rather short, and it doesn't take long to make a ship competitive.

[Crashing still only effective way to refill missiles]

Personal note: I love to play the game of "How many people can I kill when I have no rocket pods left while my ship is on fire before I die."

 

How many cartel coins to see a burning Eric hurtling through space?

[We need more camera shaking and louder rocket shots]

Primary and Secondary weapons should be louder and secondary weapons (rockets, rail guns, etc) should shake the camera when fired

 

This is not Blair Witch Online.

[Crashing still only effective way to refill missiles]

I may be wrong here, but if you suicide, don't you give the enemy team points (at least if anyone of them hit you)? You also take yourself out of the battle for some time, which most of the time vastly lowers your utility as opposed to just keep fighting.

 

So while death effectively refills your missiles, I wouldn't call it efficient.

[Why werent the ships we know used?]

Think we'll end up seeing more later on?

 

If you look at the cartel market, you'll see that there are already a couple of ships in there. That should answer your question
