TheHeadCapper Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It feels like an old-school console game to me. I enjoy it and it gives good XP. Sure, I'll take a little improvement like, shield management, different lasers (ion, etc...) and ship maneuvers (barrel roll)... but it looks nice and it's fun. Barrel roll = space bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arodin Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Space combat is OK, but I think they can do a lot to improve it. I personally do not mind the "rail shooter" aspect of it. I would hate it if they turned it into a space sim in which I spend an hour just trying to get from point A to point B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherstar Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well if Space Combat is going to be a mindless mini-game can I get my lazy companions to shoot for me? lol May I ask for a Space Combat Flashpoint? Some team play, and control of my ship, and an ability to board capital ships? and, and, and... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamuse Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm wondering what people think about Space Combat. I hope it is changed in the future because...you got to be kidding me. It feels like an after thought. I enjoy the space missions, it was never designed to be full on like being on planets and questing, but a mini-game.

Anareon Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I like the space combat missions. It's just a taste of what's to come I think. I read somwhere and can't remember where, that BioWare has stated that their vision for the space missions was not realized due to not having enough time to flesh it out the way they wanted to. I am sure it will be expanded on and improved in future patches and expansions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scan Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) I was totally anti the space combat in this game, now i love it. Im actually looking forward to doing them daily and trying to do the harder bonus bits like desroying the generators of the big ships etc. I would LOVE to see free form space combat in the future as battles with 50 republic and 50 Empire would be life stealingly addictive. So yea, all good tbh. Edited December 19, 2011 by Scan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartanlaxxx Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I loved it, but maybe its because I wasn't excited for it/interested in it. They're fun mini-games that feel like N64 Star Fox, and it grants you XP. What's not to enjoy? When you want a break from quest grinding, send your companions on missions and shoot down some Rebel/Imperial scum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kheld Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 As an X-Wing & TIE Fighter vetern I miss that style in SWG. However the TOR Space Mission are short, fast & fun, not requiring a degree in Space Piloting to complete. I do hope we can have freeform multiplayer missions in the future.

Anareon Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would love to see the hinted at guild capital ships fighting it out. All guild memebers responsible for navigation, propulsion, gunnery, shields, fighting boarding parties - wow I mean the possibilities are endless.

BrimstoneAshe Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Different strokes for different folks. As you can clearly see in this thread, some people like it while others don't. It certainly has potential to be better. And like someone mentioned, most MMOs don't give you everything but the kitchen sink at a launch, and it's pretty common to think "expansion packs" and what will be included in them before the game comes out. It would not surprise me if a an expansion pack opening up space combat to more of a X-Wing vs TIE Fighter was being plotted for down the road.

JonnyBigBoss Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Sure, it's cheap and kinda lame, but it's a great addition to the game imo. It's a little minigame to enjoy that will grow as the game heads into the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostpenguins Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I like the Space Combat... it's a nice little side-game a player can partake in if they choose so. It's not the focus of the MMO, but does greatly for being a bonus this. People who want a real in-depth space combat game are playing the wrong game...

CapaxInfiniti Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I actually like the Space Combat as is... it's just a fun little mini-game. It is perfectly in-line with what we have come to expect from the KoTOR line of games; in fact, it is actually an improvement. That being said, I would love to find a good space flight combat simulator... I miss the old TIE Fighter games. Also, they have said they will probably expand Space Combat at some point. I'm really hoping this just means more elaborate/less repetitive missions and not a complete restructuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldcite Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Why add a more thought out space "mini-game"? if that's what you like, you can always play Star Wars Galax... oh wait... I'm gonna miss SWG because of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronoxide Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 The minigame can still be quite entertaining. As far as a sandbox type space sim like SWG had, how many people are honestly going to fly through an asteroid field vs flying around if it means half or more of your ships health is gone if you hit something?

goobermaster Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm enjoying them, they offer a nice change of pace. Looking forward to future additions, I would especially like to see space missions taking place during giant fleet actions, with lots of battleships/dreadnoughts firing at each other all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
