We used an acronym in the military called : K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) First eliminate rapid fire lasers from the game, they are trash can and nobody uses them. Make ions the default first weapon on the Tier one strike fighters. (And whatever the scouts have next in line hehe.) Starguard/Rycer : With what was said above make Ions range 8k, so they mesh with quads and heavies. Give all strikes a component that makes Ion weapons in-effective (even other strike fighters ions) Give ALL strike fighter's DF as an option. Pike/Quell : Make all (non-cluster) missile reticules 50% larger so as to make it easier to keep targets in lock. And what is stated above for tier one strikes. Maybe a little less lock on time on protons. Tier three strike's are pretty good so maybe just the extra options listed above also. I tried to keep this simple and I hope you all will like my suggestions. The ion's will help eliminate all other ship types pretty equally well. Giving strikes the DF option should help the QQing about DF etc. Then everyone has two missile breaks, everybody happy happy happy! The only thing I did not address was mobility, but with ion weapons being in-effective loosing all your engine pool should be a thing of the past. Hell with the ions in-effective and an extra missile break plus larger missile reticules should, even the playing field a bit. There Stike's are fixed lol!

Welcome back! Hey brother I will definitely stop by to watch ya and of course I'll fly with ya. Or against ya to keep you on your toes! LOL (or die frequently)

Hey just want to give my friend a shout out for including me in his first video! Thanks bud for the recognition cus you really did not have to. Although between you and Drak, now I can not sneak under the radar anymore LOL.

Don't worry about what you can or can not do for your team. My first SSN I was flying with Arrmond, Scrab, and Xiaoyu as my teammates. I had maybe tier 1-2 upgrades on my ships and really only contributed multiple deaths in a TDM we were in. LOL But we only lost 49-50 so it doesn't matter what ya bring to the game just fly your best and learn. We will do our best to look out for ya and we always welcome new pilots! Good luck!

Hey Drak, I can only speak for myself but if the others are willing then a good team would be: Yallia, Nightmaregale, Georgewhite, and myself. If you hear or see them before I do ask if they are ok with this. Thanks J.

Sithace - whole time, Empire, Mastered ships: Sting, Razorwire, Mangler, Legion, and Jurgoran. If Yallia will have me I'll join up with him again!

Sorry Drak I will not be able to attend, due to I will be working at the time of your utter destruction. LOL But I wish you a very happy birthday young man! Cheers and drink one for me!

I have found that when switching from rail to cluster it does not always take. Don't know why but it sticks on rail way more than cluster to rail. Which leads me to be killed also when trying to switch. I have also noticed that the circles designating which component you are on are very similar and confusing. Sometimes it will show no circles at all and sometimes it will show two different circles which are very close to the same size. I also find in the fog of battle its totally my fault by not remembering which I was on or just hitting the button too many times too. But I have noticed it sticking when I am not being pressured. So in conclusion it seems to be operator error and the laggg monster rearing its ugly head.

This is the only other one I have but I am pretty sure we only had one premade in this one. http://i.imgur.com/bbRpFAK.jpg[/img]"]http://i.imgur.com/bbRpFAK.jpg Imp side anyway.

Here is a screen of the double premade from tonight. Two premades each side. Best game of the night! http://i.imgur.com/YlNdiAR.jpg[/img]"]http://i.imgur.com/YlNdiAR.jpg Great time as always!

I can't believe no one has mentioned the build that gave the Battlescout its "OP" reputation! Probably because this build is what got the Battlescout Nerfed in the first place, and it is not as effective as it once was hehe! The Original "OP" BLC, Clusters/Pods, BO, Concentrated Fire, DF, and Retros. Just thought I would remind everyone and was feeling a little nostalgic lol!

Me too Drak! hehe I may roll Pubs this time so add Skywallkr. Nothing mastered yet but may be by the time the match comes up!

The brighter green just indicates you wingman group of four. I had never noticed different red colors but would assume the same meaning.

Put Sithace on your friends list so you'll know when I am on and I'll help ya out!

Hey had a great time as usual hehe. Was nice flying with ya Drak instead of against ya, except that one war game were we killed each other at the same time LOL. Ya we really didn't help our teams much on that one, total wash hehe. Got to fly with some new ace's and those are the kind of things I like the most on these nights!

Sithace-one on the RE.

Count me in Drak, have no idea on a team but I am sure I'll find someone to fly with! LOL Empire side - mastered Sting, Razorwire, and Jurgoran. Can play the whole time barring real life distractions.

The best time to fly Imp is between 7am to 9am eastern standard time or -5GMT. Before the serious Pubs log on. If I am on feel free to whisper me and I can and will help put a hurting on the pubs lol.

Flew against you all today won some and lost some hehe. I have a Pub side toon if your interested just let me know.

Hell everyone knows I don't give a crap about stats so I'll fly my Jurg for posterity! LOL Besides I tend to fly the Jurg like a Sting with a railgun anyway hehe.

Loved playing in this one! I got to switch sides even, so I got to play "with" everyone last night. I was on Sithace for the first few matches then got to switch to Skywallkr for a couple too! Even though Skywallkr has no mastered ships LOL. Sorry to my teammates on that one. Have to say I like this solo q format a lot because I was able to switch sides which was different and fun! Enjoyed playing with all of you who made it out!

I just wanted to pop in and tell you guys excellent post's! I am always encouraged by new guys with positive attitudes! I am now flying on many servers and I like to fly with anyone who would like to learn something. Just an fyi though most veterans can get a little huffy when the "new guys" don't listen. I rarely make suggestions in chat anymore cus people don't respond much. Republic name is the same and Imperial is one or the other hehe. Just check my sig for the info! Again good job guys!

Good point Vern! If moving sides is an issue we will have to make sure it doesn't screw up balance. Maybe we could designate hours for switching? I don't know I really didn't really think this plan through hehe.

Oww come on Graen! Skywallkr has no mastered ship either! I just thought it would be fun to fly "with" everyone hehe. Also bring your Imp on and I promise we all will help ya hehe!

Of course I'll be there! SithAce on Imperial side and baring dinner getting in the way like last time I will be on time hehe. Hell may even switch sides a couple of times to Republic so add Skywallkr too! I think making it solo que allows those of us who have toons on both sides to mix it up a bit! Just a thought to all.
