pigfacewjn Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think in some future Patch they should have PvP Space Battles. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonewild Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Will I need 'space valor' to equip pvp ship mods? I really had hoped space would be similar or akin to EVE Online. Areas of lawlessness (FFA), systems that could be controlled by guilds/alliances representing one of the two factions (or a third pirate faction), etc. I mean, you could really go buck-nutty with the ideas. Ship combat should be as immersive as pvp combat... I don't know if this is a possibility for SWTOR, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigfacewjn Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think it would be the same as character PvP but just with ships. I do like the Idea of controlling planets or systems. But think anything could be possible with the SWTOR masterminds!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulukinatme Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I kind of enjoyed the space combat in this game...for like a week. It got old fast. I don't even use it as an xp mechanic anymore. I was really hoping they'd add PVP to space in this game. Maybe they still will, but I'm not holding my breath. It's one of the few things that SWG had that was better than this game. For the most part TOR has done everything else better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaipyr Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Seriously? You think TOR has better crafting? Yup. Less tedium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Acherus Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think in some future Patch they should have PvP Space Battles. Any thoughts? What about a space battle like battlefront 2 where you can pilot fighters and sabotage the other ship. Kinda like alderaan but with space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauldronBorn Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Gonna be honest, if they introduce space PvP and its anything on par with (or better than) "X-Wing Alliance" or "TIE Fighter vs X-Wing"; I probably wouldn't be leaving my ship. Ever. Nothing like a good(decent?) space fighter sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisheggs Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Yup. Less tedium. Honestly, TOR crafting is even more tedious. It took more planning in getting set up with resources for SWG, but then I could craft, in an hour or so, everything I would want to sell for the next month. Once you had factories, any of the tedious elements of crafting were gone imo. SOE screwed up a lot of systems in SWG, but I havn't found another crafting system that was enjoyable. As for the topic, if they can get space pvp correct (they probably won't), I could forget the ground game entirely.

cbowsin Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I like the space combat in this game and do it everyday. I would support a pvp aspect, as long as the solo missions are left the way they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwrath Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I like the OP's concept. My wife also had similar idea for vehicle-based PvP: pod-racing (dirty tricks and all) These ideas, if properly implemented could really add some fun to PvP.

Anthiel Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 would like to see something like the space battles in the star wars game where you could play any role in the battlefield. i liked the option of either picking a fighter bomber or transport ship, would be fun haveing large guild ships with dogfights outside and the point being to capture important locals on each others ships and whoever gets a certain amount of pts before the other team wins.

Spife Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) BW would have to put a lot of resources into the development of a space part that is worth to be called so. But should they do it .... In SWG, we had a whole set of ship types - Interceptors (like A-Wing or TIE/Adv, ..), Space Superiority Fighters (i.e. X-Wing, TIE Oppressor,..), Bombers (B-Wing,..), even multiperson ships with 2-6 player-controlled turrets. Since SOE did close to nothing, the players organized space events and some of them were the *most epic* actions i've ever seen in *any* game - here's one I'm remembering right now: I was an imperial stromtrooper aboard a YE-4 Gunship with our team. The misson was to aproach Dantooine Space Station, destroy all resistance, land and conquer the mission objective, while the rebs were trying to hinder us. Since all turrets were already in use, all i could do while the fleet was heading towards the space station, was to watch out of the window. I really can't tell you how it felt, when i saw this swarm of X-wings taking aim at us... and I was but a passenger. There's nothing in gaming I can think of, that produced that much adrenaline as space pvp in SWG. nothing. Should BW be able to beat that, I could finally let my pilot and my shipwright rest in peace. Edited March 14, 2012 by Spife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
