statecollege Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 How come there isn't a space forum? I personally love the space aspect of the game, it may even be my favorite part so far, and think there should be somewhere to discuss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycrowave Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 yup noticed it, would be nice to have a place to discuss particular missions and upgrades etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetXpress Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) If it was free-form and was a major part of the game's content, then I'd agree with you. But it doesn't have nearly enough depth to really need its own forum. I barely see threads discussing it as it is.

Eegorr Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I think such a forum would sadly turn out to be another flaming ground (as oposed to this one??). Personally I'm very disapointed with the space combat -- it should be an arcade game in the cantinas. If space was designed as both a means to travel and fight where you had full control of your ship and could do more interesting things than fire lasers and missiles then it would be interesting. On the other hand, I'm one of those that long for the good old X-Wing and Tie-Fighter games. If we had something like that with full PvP and cooporative group or even guild missions, that would be fantastic. I'm dreaming, I know, and maybe people are just happy with this shooter on rails, but I find it very underwheming and just a means to some quick XP.

statecollege Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 How much time would it take BW to make a forum for space anyways? Even if it isn't overly popular? I absolutely love it and would like to be able to talk about it without my thread falling off the page in 40 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you're coming from, I loved the space game in SWG especially, one of the things they did right in that game. I like this a lot too though because it feels more like Star Wars despite the fact you aren't free as far as speed and direction go. I think the areas for space are absolutely stunning looking, and the guided travel makes it feel really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajinn- Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I get what you're wanting but I mean, what is there to talk about? All of the space content is insanely easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game has such huge potential, but this particular aspect takes it in the wrong direction for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodaOfYoda Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was late into the space mission game but I've come to enjoy it very much. Despite this, I have no idea what you would fill a dedicated forum with on this subject. The progression of your ship is fairly linear, equipping the best items you can obtain. As for the skill involved, it's not much. If it were to be a free roam scenario like Freelancer as opposed to the on-rail shooting it is, then we might have some tactics involved. Great part of the game nonetheless, and I am mad I did not get into it earlier as it's definitely a great method for credits and experience!
