Having now read all of the posts. Despon I really like you and what you are trying to do. I don't know if you ever fly on BC but I hope that if you do i'm on to fly with/against you. believe me i'll be revisiting all those guides again. Like you I fly because I love to fly. I have tried to build up GSF on BC some of our really good pilots have moved on to other servers. or on to other games. i'm rambling. if you do fly on BC ask for Hamlinius that's my main. or Arrow One. or Javelin One on Impside.

but but.....we need a new mall. think of all the business we could bring in with a new mall.....and it has to go RIGHT THERE!!!.

well you still have to have power to engines to go anywhere....would be my guess. otherwises........iono.

granted that's each ship per toon. so again I would like to see a fleet req that's legacy wide. ship req should stay the way it is. I'm starting a new paragraph because I had an idea a little bit ago I want to share. what would fix GSF? well you will never make everyone happy. giving ground gear upgrades through GSF per CXP and GSF upgrades through ground missions would be nice. would draw in possibly new players but what then? Give us the tools to help train new players. let the community be responsible for retaining it's members. give us the Group tutorial and or Group PVE content and from there let pilots earn req to upgrade their ships. not much but enough to get them hooked (maybe award half the standard req for the group PVE) and if they want to Master their ships then they join in the GSF PVP. They would still be able to use their own ships even after they are mastered in the PVE content, but that req gain shouldn't replace the current content. Put it on the back of the Vets to teach the new guys. I mean we want to anyway. this would solve a bunch of the issues. maybe give an achievement for completing your first training one and one for being the "instructor" for say 100 matches or whatever. hell make it 1000. The instructor is the guy with the group leader spot. this way even vets can get a trainee badge if they want it. oh and please more maps and more modes. the capital ship duel would be sweet. especially if ground pvpers could also man the turrets or guard ship board objectives. maybe add a shuttle to carry attackers to the other capital ship and the GSFers have to protect it while in flight and then attack or defend the outside of the big ships. just a thought. free of charge.

I know you haven't read through all the other posts that deal with the learning curve. and possibly not even the ones that deal with ship upgrades. Even the Vets say give us a group tutorial to help train the new guys in a safe environ. as to the ship upgrades. The devs already handled that. when you do your weekly and daily missions ship req is granted to all ships. so if you get 1500 req that is given to each ship equally. they also reduced the cost of ship upgrades by as much as half. as for match length. it's 10 minutes. instead of grumbling about how much you suck ask a vet for tips and then i don't know, apply them. just a thought.

Possible suggestion: Expand the tutorial mode to allow a player to just go in and fly around without the annoying popups and stoppages. Let me practice approaching a sat, shooting a drone. ah if you boost straight at the sat right off the bat all three pop-ups will trigger, then you have 13 minutes to just fly around.

OK i've read 2 or 3 pages of replys and mostly from people who don't seem to give a crap about GSF. I've flown over 2000 missions since GSF launched. There are things you could do to make the GSF experience better. 1. There are several guides and youtube vids out there to help new pilots. however the best thing to help them is getting with a guild, or a veteran and grouping up with them. Give us a group tutorial or group PVE missions where new pilots can actually learn the roll of THEIR ship. this also lets them learn how to work in a group. make the PVE missions give req so they can upgrade their ship while learning to fly it as well. 2. The ships are fairly balanced although giving a small buff to strikes would be great or better yet better define their roll. 3. i've played for 5 1/2 years. I'm bored ******** so yes new GSF content would get me personally flying and playing more. I'm still around because I have a guild to look after. let us buy the cosmetics with our ship req or fleet req. give us something to spend it on once we have all the ships and have them mastered. 4. it's a population issue more than anything. but allowing guilds or Squads to group and queue up helps. I don't get why people want to complain about "premades" that's the point of joining a guild. having people you can group up with to do the things in game that you want to do. 5. I think fleet req could be legacy based since it's "Fleet" but I don't think ship req should be legacy wide. Those things said as a vet and probably one of the top pilots on BC the amount of hate that vets get is a big reason many vets have pissed off. I don't know a single vet who won't help train new pilots. WE like a challenge and like helping new pilots because that gets US more matches doing the thing WE love. It flat out hurts being told that just because I logged in queue died. it's like "well **** i didn't want to fly anyway. except oh wait that's exactly what I wanted to do." I RP and fly GSF I don't do very much else. so yes I'm very passionate about GSF don't mess with the controls (i.e. adding joystick functionality) or dumb things down so that all the HARD work I and many other vets have put in are pointless. GSF is a skill based game. a skill that can be learned but it shouldn't be just handed to people. I'm good because I worked hard to be good. I've done my best to train pilots. but those guys have also gone on to other games. so really you need to worry about retaining players game wide not just in GSF. Give us a new map or game type and the vets will fly. encourage new pilots to listen to us instead of QQ'ing about how there's a skill gap. Give us a way to actually train new pilots, boom no more skill gap.

Well after 2 years we are still recruiting. we now have only one room left to open on the flagship. we have moved our voice chat to discord. We are looking for troopers and smugglers to bolster our armed forces. oh we also have cookies. in game Hamlinius

Hey this is Ham. I've had fun running with you guys before. Hamlinius

We are an RP guild. our guild arc RP nights are Friday (for our imp guild) and Saturday. We have a fully unlocked Yavin SH and a mostly unlocked Flagship (only 3 rooms left) We also participate in other areas of the game so there's a niche for everyone. We are an 18+ guild we have an rp channel in game that we use as a Comms channel. /cjoin lotjrp (for pubside) /cjoin lotdlrp (impside) Will be very active after 5.0 hits

I'm gonna check some other threads, but here's a question WHY are pops dying on all servers? Has everyone gotten bored with the game itself?

this forum your commenting in. or go to http://www.begerencommunityhq.enjin.com that's the best place as it's designed to support the efforts. yeah i know another damn website to visit and threads to wade through to get the info you need, but it's worth the effort. check it out. tell your friends have them check it out. A lot of hard work went into it.

Actually there is a pretty healthy RP community on the server. currently it is most by the guild you join. There are some guilds who have RP with their allies. That said there are a number of guilds who are working together to strengthen and grow not only the RP community, but the PVE and PVP communities as well. there are 2 websites I can point you to. one is http://www.begerencolony.org It is mostly for RP and the second is a site that just went up for everyone on the Server. http://begerencommunityhq.enjin.com/home Here we will have posts to keep folks informed and included in the various events we are trying to organize. Both sites are dedicated to Begeren Colony. I'm Hamlinius GM of Legion of the Jedi. founding member of the Server Summit

to hell with my old class ship. all classes should now have this ship.

/signed I. WANT. THIS. SHIP!

with similar ones for the imp side.

see if there are any server channels you can join? on Begeren Colony we have a channel for GSF /cjoin gsf we have one for pvp /cjoin krayt for rp there's /cjoin rp /cjoin repblicic /cjoin republicooc I don't know what server you're on but hope that helps.

not a bad idea to start out with, question though why would you ask for that? and IF we had that option it could only be controlled by the guild leader as they are the ones who control what each rank has access to in guild terms. I.E. what rank can even see the guild chat. or Officer chat. or see AND post member notes.

/signed this soooooo this. little junior SH's 2-4 rooms that's...."think i'm choking up."

well not sure if it's posted elsewhere but for personal SH's it only shows up for the faction the owner is logged in as. so you would give out keys to people on both sides and have someone inviting from the opposite faction. I just heard about this a week or so ago. As for Guild SH's unless they allow you to give out keys to someone opposite faction.....beats the piss out of me.

guild or personal? long time ago BW talked about having eventually every planet have a SH for it. not sure if they changed their minds or just moving slowly forward. It would have to be a guild SH just due to cost. and only have 50 hooks max, cause you know. BUT /signed

My only big gripe on the Tat SH is this move the freaking directory!! Just outside the space port will work, but not inside the port. then yes toggle time of day and weather for SH's
